Emergency Operations Plan, supporting documents CITY OF PORTLAND Evacuation Plan Page 3 of 67 SITUATION Portland covers 145 square miles and had an estimated population of 632,309 people in 2016 (US Census 2016), with a population density of about 4,360 persons per square mile. Portland’s population increases by about 14% during the workday (US Census 2015), when people commute into the City. Visitors also swell the population, especially during special events and vacation periods. Portland has several unique areas, including the Central Business District (CBD), Forest Park, Hayden Island, the Linnton neighborhood, and the area protected by the Multnomah County Drainage Districts (MCDD) that have special risks and might present operational challenges for large-scale evacuations. Portland is susceptible to natural and human- caused hazards that could necessitate a large-scale evacuation, including: flooding, threatened or suspected terrorism, dam break, levee failure, wildland-urban interface fires, and haz mat release. Cascading effects from a large earthquake such as fire, landslide, or haz mat incident could also cause the evacuation of localized areas. Generally, flooding occurs in a known floodplain after periods of intense rain or snow melt. However, other hazards can occur with little or no warning. A large-scale evacuation will require mutual aid assistance for security and transportation resources. Multnomah County coordinates sheltering and mass care, public behavioral health, mental health, and emergency medical services. These services are essential to evacuees, so any large- scale evacuation of Portland residents will require close coordination with the County.

Diversified Marine, Inc., has conducted tug boat and barge building, repair, sandblasting, painting, machine shop, bilge removal, and boat and equipment refueling activities at the site under various names since at least 19901. Work is performed inside of an onshore building, on vessels moored in the river along the site, and in a 200-ton floating dry dock at the site. The site first came to the attention of Site Assessment in January 2003 during an evaluation of the adjoining Former Schooner Creek Boat Works site (ECSI #3526; see Figure 3). Between 1991 and 2002, DEQ received a series of Pollution Complaints alleging that boat building and repair activities at the neighboring Former Schooner Creek Boat Works site were releasing petroleum, solvents, fiberglass dust, and paint wastes, that might threatened water quality in North Portland Harbor (the Columbia River). Several of the reported releases were verified through DEQ follow-up inspections although no source could be located for some of the 1 Diversified Marine, Inc., (Kurt Redd, corporate president) was formed in 1986.

  • Pearl District Existing Conditions Report
    Pearl District Access and Circulation Plan Existing Conditions Report Introduction This report reviews existing conditions related to land use and transportation in the study area. The Pearl District is located within the larger River District Urban Renewal Area, and is bordered by NW Broadway Avenue to the east, Interstate 405 to the west, W Burnside to the south, and the Willamette River to the north (Map 1). Below is a brief summary of existing conditions. For more detailed discussion of the transportation issues in the area, additional information, data, and maps are provided following the summary. Summary The Pearl District has street system and urban form characteristics that are similar to the Downtown and Old Town/Chinatown neighborhoods, with generally the same 200‐foot by 200‐foot block grid, and dense, mixed commercial/residential development. However, unlike its neighbors, much of the Pearl has been almost entirely rebuilt over the last 15 years with a predominance of residential construction. Fueled by infrastructure investments and a set of policies and development agreements following the River District Urban Renewal Area’s creation in 1998, the District has experienced rapid residential and commercial growth. The urban neighborhood built through these efforts has become a national model for inner city redevelopment. The District has many of the transportation characteristics of healthy, mature, 24‐hour mixed use areas, including high pedestrian and transit use, low reliance on the automobile compared to suburban areas, and a mix of residential, office, institutional and retail uses. As a result, Pearl residents, employers and visitors travel half as much by car as the regional average, and have much lower carbon emissions per capita from transportation sources.

  • Interstate 5 Columbia River Crossing
    I NTERSTATE 5 C OLUMBIA R IVER C ROSSING Neighborhoods and Population Technical Report May 2008 TO: Readers of the CRC Technical Reports FROM: CRC Project Team SUBJECT: Differences between CRC DEIS and Technical Reports The I-5 Columbia River Crossing (CRC) Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) presents information summarized from numerous technical documents. Most of these documents are discipline- specific technical reports (e.g., archeology, noise and vibration, navigation, etc.). These reports include a detailed explanation of the data gathering and analytical methods used by each discipline team. The methodologies were reviewed by federal, state and local agencies before analysis began. The technical reports are longer and more detailed than the DEIS and should be referred to for information beyond that which is presented in the DEIS. For example, findings summarized in the DEIS are supported by analysis in the technical reports and their appendices. The DEIS organizes the range of alternatives differently than the technical reports. Although the information contained in the DEIS was derived from the analyses documented in the technical reports, this information is organized differently in the DEIS than in the reports. The following explains these differences. The following details the significant differences between how alternatives are described, terminology, and how impacts are organized in the DEIS and in most technical reports so that readers of the DEIS can understand where to look for information in the technical reports. Some technical reports do not exhibit all these differences from the DEIS. Difference #1: Description of Alternatives The first difference readers of the technical reports are likely to discover is that the full alternatives are packaged differently than in the DEIS.

  • DEQ Issued a Public Notice on May 19, 2017 Requesting Public Comment on DEQ's Draft Air Quality Permit for American Petroleum Environmental Services, Inc
    American Petroleum Environmental Services Air Contaminant Discharge Permit 26-3021 Response to Comments DEQ issued a public notice on May 19, 2017 requesting public comment on DEQ's draft air quality permit for American Petroleum Environmental Services, Inc. DEQ mailed notice to property owners within at least one mile of the facility, and included additional zip codes and neighborhood associations where DEQ anticipated there would be interest. DEQ also provided public notice through publication m two local newspapers, posting of the notice on DEQ's website, and through email; subscribers ofDEQ's email notification list received a message about the proposed permit issuance and the chance to comment. The comment period closed at 5 p.m. on July 3, 2017. The following response to comments combines like topics and comments to minimize duplicates. Comments are paraphrased to address the main point and are not included verbatim. All written and oral (transcribed) comments are included as an addendum to this document. Comments relating to other facilities are not addressed by the responses below. Some of the following comments are verbatim, combined, or paraphrased with similar comments to reduce redundancy. 1. Comment The DEQ should issue American Petroleum Environmental Services (APES) an immediate Cease and Desist order (ORS 468.115(1)) requiring them to shut down until they can reduce emissions below levels that may be harmful to the residents in the area. DEQ should shut the facility down using the authority in OAR 340-216-0082 (permit revocation). DEQ should deny the permit renewal until all neighborhood concerns are met. DEQ response In order to issue a cease and desist order under Oregon Revised Stahite (ORS) 468.115, DEQ would need to determine that air pollution from APES was causing "an imminent and substantial endangerment to the health of persons," and the Governor would need to direct DEQ to enter such an order.
