MEMORANDUM

FROM: Dawn Sanders/Bureau of Environmental Services DATE: June 25, 2015 SUBJECT: Background Information on Willamette Park, including the Former Shipbuilding Company

Fish tissue samples collected in the , between River Mile (RM) 16 and RM 16.5, are elevated compared to samples both upstream and downstream of this stretch (Figure 1). There are three samples in the RM 16W to RM 16.2W segment, all located at the upstream end of the Park; concentrations range from 157.6 to 427.7 ng/g. The highest fish tissue sample (at 633.4 ng/g) was collected upstream of this segment at RM 16.5 (see sample ID LW4-SB-16W-02), which is about a ½ -mile upstream of the Park.

It has been hypothesized that Willamette Park, including the northern tax lot previously owned by the Portland Shipbuilding Company (PSBC), could be a source of PCBs. Willamette Park is located on the west shore between RMs 15.6 – 16. This memorandum provides information on historical operations and fill activities at Willamette Park and at the former PSBC facility. It also summarizes existing sediment and fill soil data to aid the evaluation of the Park as a potential source to upstream fish tissue concentrations.

Willamette Park For the purposes of this section, the former PSBC property is excluded and addressed separately in the next section. Most of the Park was purchased in 1926 with some subsequent expansion at the upstream end of the park. Although it was used by residents, the Park was not developed until the 1970s -- after it was filled to its current footprint. Currently, the Park is completely covered with vegetation, tennis courts and parking lots. The banks consist of concrete fill, riprap and vegetation. Any pathway for erodible soil is limited to the bank.

A Redevelopment Plan1 for the Park has some information about the filling conducted in the 1960s and early 1970s. According to the Plan, the Park was used as a relocation site for the 1969 demolition of the Oregon Journal Building, the removal of Front Avenue, and the excavation of the Vista Ridge Tunnel (on Highway 26). The fill increased the Park elevation and extended the Park into the river.

1 WILLAMETTE PARK BACKGROUND INFORMATION

It is unclear what is meant by the “removal of Front Avenue” and when this occurred; it could be referring to the removal of Harbor Drive, which occurred in 1974, or some refurbishment of Front Avenue. The Vista Ridge Tunnel was constructed in 1969 to 19702. Portland Shipbuilding Company The PBSC was a small facility; the entire tax lot is 5 acres and not all the property appears to have been utilized (see picture below). Historical information about the PSBC indicates that the facility specialized in wooden water craft and that it did not have the significant shipbuilding operations compared with many of the downstream shipbuilding facilities. A 1926 City Club Report (see page 7), provided in Attachment C, states that the Portland Shipbuilding Co. built river boats, barges and smaller craft. A 1948 US Navy report (excerpt also provided in Attachment C), describes the PSBC as “an established firm engaged in the building and repair of wooden craft.” The types of boats constructed at PSBC during World War II were all non-self-propelled barges and, therefore, would not have had on-board electronic equipment typically associated with PCBs in ships. Forty-one barges were constructed at PSBC during World Water II for the Navy.

Below are several pictures from the Oregon Maritime Museum website3 showing workers at the PSBC facility in 1943. Note the material being used to caulk between the wooden boards. Based on this picture, it appears that they were using the traditional caulking cotton or oakum method4 to seal the barge.

A 1969 Oregonian article (Attachment C) indicates that the Company relocated to the property in 1918; it formerly operated at the foot of SW Oak. The article also states that the last sternwheeler constructed at the facility was 1919, a time when PCBs were not in use. After that, the facility only did rebuilding and repairs until World War II, when it

2 WILLAMETTE PARK BACKGROUND INFORMATION constructed “a mile of ugly wooden barges” for the Navy and Army. According to this article, the facility did not operate after a flood in 1946 (This is likely a typo for 1964). Note that the article states that the facility was 7 acres but the current tax lot is 5 acres; it is unclear if the article incorrectly stated the acreage or if several acres were not sold to the City.

There is also no evidence that the PSBC facility did any shipbreaking activities, which can contribute to sediment contamination.

Records in the City Archives indicate that filling at the PSBC facility occurred separately from filling in the rest of Willamette Park. There were likely at least two filling activities on the PSBC tax lot. The tax lot was purchased in 1969 and a 1968 aerial photo (see Figure 3), shows the condition of the property before the City purchased it. This aerial photo shows the PSBC facility with the northern (downstream) half of the tax lot filled, extending to the current riverward tax lot boundary. It is unknown when this filling occurred, but it apparently happened not long before this photo was taken. The second fill event was in 1971 by the Willamette Sailing Club, using dredge spoils from their mooring. This work was conducted under an Army Corps dredge permit. Information related to this activity is provided in Attachment A. Note that the Corps permit required that the dredge spoil be placed behind a water-tight berm.

The 1968 aerial shows dredge barges adjacent to the downstream half of the tax lot. The Willamette Sailing Club moved to the location just downstream of the PSBC facility in 19675 and the dredge barges may be related to establishment of the moorage, although no documentation was located to verify this.

The PSBC tax lot included a portion of the river adjacent to the PSBC facility during its operation. The pictures below show the current tax lot boundary (with a portion of the upstream Park tax lot) and the 1962 and 2010 aerials. These pictures show that if there was any historical contamination at or adjacent to the facility it would be capped by the fill used to extend the property riverward. Additionally, deposition has occurred adjacent to the PSBC tax lot, creating a mud flat over historical sediment as clearly shown below in the 2010 aerial.

3 WILLAMETTE PARK BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Available Sediment Data The City previously provided DEQ with a report titled Sediment Characterization Report for the Willamette Park Boat Ramp (AMEC, 2011) that summarizes all sediment data adjacent to the Park. An annotated figure from the report is attached (Figure 2) showing the depth and concentrations of PCBs adjacent to the Park. Both surface and subsurface sediment samples were collected; no PCBs were detected in any of these samples. Of the three sediment trap samples collected by the LWG at a single location about 300 feet offshore of the Park, two were non-detect and one had a PCB concentration of 13 ppb. These data do not indicate that the Park could be a significant source to upstream fish tissue.

Specifically for the former PSBC property, PCBs were not detected in the adjacent surface (sample G028) and subsurface (sample C017-D) sediment data collected by DEQ (see Figure 2 for sample locations). Both of these samples were collected at the outside boundary of the mud flat adjacent to the former PSBC property. DEQ’s protocol for selecting the subsurface core interval was based on sediment lithology (dominant grain size and color) and the criterion used to determine which depth intervals to analyze was stated as the “deeper core section showing the most evidence of contamination was selected for chemical testing.”6 Core C017- D was collected at a depth of 8.7 to 12.2 feet at a location in the core where there was a slight sheen (see Attachment C for the Core Processing Log and core mosaic for this sample). In other words, the subsurface sediment that would be considered the most likely to be contaminated and that likely represents sediment adjacent to the PSBC facility when it was operating did not show any detectable PCBs.

Available Fill Soil Data As part of several construction or planning projects, soil samples from the Park fill have been collected to determine appropriate disposal. Although subsurface construction debris

6 Field and Data Report, Downtown Portland Sediment Characterization (GSI, Jan. 2009)

4 WILLAMETTE PARK BACKGROUND INFORMATION was noted in these projects, no significant contamination was found (reports are provided in Attachment B). Reports and findings include:

 Soil Sampling Data Report – Environmental Investigation for the Willamette Park Boat Ramp Swale, E10154/CSA Job 1216 (BES, 4/14/2011)

Two soil samples were collected just north of the parking lot in advance of a stormwater infiltration swale retrofit. The samples were analyzed for TPH, PCBs, and metals. The laboratory results for these samples were non-detect for petroleum hydrocarbons, non-detect for PCBs, and all metals concentrations were below accepted background levels with the exception of lead, which was slightly elevated.

 Results of Sampling and Analysis for the Willamette Park Bank Restoration, BES Project E10395 (BES, 2/22/2012)

Soil sampling was conducted in support of a potential bank restoration project in the Park (as described in the Willamette Park Redevelopment and Phasing Plan). Five test pits were excavated near the bank, two on the former shipbuilding property and three in the Park south of this property. Samples were collected from 4 of the test pits and analyzed for TPH, PAHs, and metals. Two of the soil samples and some debris were also tested for asbestos. All concentrations were below RBCs for construction and excavation workers and no asbestos was detected. Demolition debris was encountered primarily in the area south of the parking lot.

A geotechnical report was produced as part of the test pit work and is also provided in Attachment B. The report shows that Test Pits 5 and 6, located on the former PSBC property, consist primarily of silty sand with some trace debris and wood material. This is consistent with the composition of dredge spoils. In contrast, Test Pits 1 to 4 had much more construction debris (e.g., concrete, rebar, brick, and metal), consistent with the fill sources identified in the Park Redevelopment Plan.

Although there are limited data for PCBs in the Park fill material, there is no indication of significant contamination related to the dredge spoils from the Willamette Sailing Club moorage (at the former shipbuilding property) or the mixed demolition materials (in the remainder of the Park).

Summary The former PSBC facility was a small operation constructing and repairing wooden water craft. Any historical contamination that may have been associated with the facility is covered with dredge spoils (within the tax lot) and mud flats created by deposition of upstream sediment (adjacent to the tax lot). Sampling riverward of the mud flat did not reveal any surface and subsurface PCB contamination, even though the subsurface interval was targeted at the most likely contaminated horizon.

5 WILLAMETTE PARK BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Fill material for the former PSBC facility was likely dredge material, as supported by the Willamette Sailing Club dredge records and geotechnical explorations. Although PCBs were not sampled in the fill, other contaminants were not significantly elevated and do not indicate that the dredge material was contaminated. Sediment samples adjacent to the Park also do not indicate a PCB source.

Park Bureau November 19,1970 Department of Public Affairs City of Portland Subject: Dredging at Willamette Sailing Club- Gentlemen: You are undoubtedly aware that the Willamette Sailing Club is encountering difficulty in keeping our port facilities cleared of silt. Due to the nature of sailing, our harbor depth must be maintained at 8 to 10 feet below mean low water, to accomodate the center boards and keels of our boats. At the present time, the harbor has silted to such an extent, that less than one third of the area meets the minimum conditions. This situation is not only inconvenient, but extremely dangerous while landing, or departing. We have had several cases of our boats being swamped, due to this condition. As we see it we have three alternatives; a- Abandon our facilities and move elsewhere b- Dredge out the accumulated silt c- As one member puts it 11 Sell our boats and buy motorcycles .. We like it where we are, and don•t really feel that we could find a better location. Also I believe we do add a great deal of atmosphere to the City•s water front. Sail boats on our Willamette River always are pleasing to anyone•s eye. Any dredging is expensive, however, in order to dredge, we must have a 11 11 1ocati on to dispose of the Spoi 1 • We are prepared to undertake the expenses, if the City will allow us to dispose of the spoil on their property. The attached plan shows the area we are requesting for disposal purposes. Both of these areas are unusable in their present condition and our operations would bring it up to grade, making it more useful property. In no case, would we perform any acts that would be harmful to the City, or reduce or destroy the value of the City owned property. We would also carry any adequate insurance to cover our dredging operation and would hold the City free of any or all claims that might result from any of our operations. Our personnel operating on City property or other persons would be completly covered by us, in the event of any accidents etc. We will be glad to coordinate our activities with the City Park Bureau or whoever they designate to insure compliance with the agreement. We will also acquire all necessary permits and clearances with the necessary authorities be­ fore proceeding with any operations. cont•d If these conditions are acceptable, please either sign below or submit a letter to us accepting the proposal plan. We need o·ne or the other to submit to the Corps of Engineers office. As you know, it takes a great deal of time to obtain a dredging permit, and we would certainly appreciate your attention on this matter so that we may proceed without delay.

The Willamette Sailing Club has applied for a Department of the Army permit to do maintenance dredging in their mooring basin as shown on the reverse side of this nutict::. The work is to be done by suction dredge with the spoils being placed behind a watertight berm on land owned by the City of Portland, Bureau of Parks and Public Recreation. The area to be dredged is approximately 320 feet long by 220 feet wide, to a depth of -8 feet a.l.w., removing approximately 6,700 yards of silt and sand.

Additional information may be obtained from Carl H. Fullman, Port Captain, Willamette Sailing Club, 6336 S. W. Beaver Street, l'ort land, Oregon 97201; phone (503) 246-9140.

Interested parties are requested to submit in writing any com­ ments or objections they may have to the proposed work.

The determination as to whether a permit will be issued will be based on an evaluation of all relevant factors, including naviga­ tion, fish and wildlife, water quality, economics, conservation, aesthetics, recreation, water supply, flood damage prevention, eco systems, and in general the needs and welfare of the people. Conunents on these factors will be accepted and considered in deter­ mining whether it would be in the best public interest to grant the permit as requested.

Replies to this notice should be mailed to reach this office not later than 8 January 1971.

MEMORANDUM

Date: 4/14/11 To: Jeremy Person From: André Mellott RE: Soil Sampling Data Report –Environmental Investigation for the Willamette Park Boat Ramp Swale, E10154/CSA Job 1216

INTRODUCTION:

The City of Portland’s Bureau of Environmental Services (BES), Coordinated Site Analysis (CSA) program, was requested by the Watershed Revegetation program to perform environmental soil sampling of a stormwater swale for the Willamette Park Boat Ramp Retrofit project. The site location is at the northeast corner of the parking lot adjacent to the boat ramp within Willamette Park. The existing stormwater swale will be retrofitted with performance improvements this summer, 2011. Two individual borings were conducted.

PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND:

This project involves retrofit work to be performed on a stormwater infiltration swale that has been in place for 10 years. The purpose of this environmental investigation is to evaluate the environmental condition of the excavated soil for the safety of excavation workers and disposal characterization. The parking lot associated with this stormwater swale is approximately 3 acres in size. Non-point source petroleum contamination was suspected. This assessment was conducted by collecting a representative environmental soil sample from the proposed excavation area. These soil samples were quantitatively analyzed for contaminants of concern (COCs).

SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS:

Sampling methodology and analyses corresponded to standard requirements for human health and safety and disposal characterization. For the purposes of this investigation the swale was treated as upper and lower portions separated by a culvert and pathway. The soil samples from this investigation were analyzed for petroleum hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, selenium, silver, mercury, and lead.

1 Memorandum Willamette Park Boat Ramp Swale; E10154

On March 10, 2011, two soil borings were conducted with a hand auger within the infiltration zone of the facility (see Figure 2). Auger refusal was encountered approximately 10 inches below ground surface. The weather was clear and sunny during sampling. Surface stormwater was not present at the time of sampling.

Soil sampling was conducted by BES personnel in accordance with, ASTM Standard Guide for Soil Sampling within the Vadose Zone D-4700, and Oregon DEQ guidance documents. Field personnel wore clean nitrile gloves during sample collection. Soil samples that were lab tested were stored in four ounce glass amber jars. Sample jars were immediately placed in an iced cooler and transported to TestAmerica laboratory under chain of custody for analysis.

ANALYTICAL RESULTS:

The laboratory results for these samples were non-detect for petroleum hydrocarbons, non- detect for PCBs, and all metals concentrations were below accepted background levels with the exception of lead. The lead concentrations for the Upper and Lower swale segments were 44.7 mg/Kg and 51.7 mg/Kg, respectively. The accepted background concentration for lead is 17 mg/Kg.

CONCLUSIONS:

• No quantifiable petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations were detected in either soil sample.

• No quantifiable PCB concentrations were detected in either soil sample.

• All of the metals concentrations in both soil samples were well below accepted background levels for this region with the exception of lead.

• The lead concentrations of both samples (44.7 mg/Kg & 51.7 mg/Kg) exceed the Unrestricted Clean Fill screening level of 17 mg/Kg.

• These lead concentrations do not exceed any pertinent Oregon DEQ Risk-Based Screening Levels (RBCs).

• Based on these lead concentrations, this soil is characterized as Restricted Fill.

• If removed from the site, disposal of soil excavated from this project will require approval from the receiving facility, the DEQ, and possibly the receiving county.

LIMITATIONS

This subsurface environmental sampling report was prepared exclusively for the City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services by the Coordinated Site Analysis program. The quality of information, conclusions, and estimates contained in this report is based on: information available at the time of preparation, data supplied by outside sources, and the assumptions, conditions, and qualifications set forth in this report. This report is intended to be used by the City of Portland for this Site only. The findings contained in this report are relevant to the dates of the investigation and should not be relied upon to represent conditions at later dates. In the event that changes in the nature, usage, or layout of the property or nearby properties are made, the conclusions and recommendations contained in this report may not be valid.

The purpose of this subsurface investigation is to collect and test soil and/or groundwater samples in an attempt to evaluate the potential for adverse impact from past practices at a given property or neighboring properties. In performing this type of investigation, it is understood that an evaluation must be made between a reasonable inquiry into the environmental issues and an exhaustive analysis of each conceivable issue of potential concern. No subsurface exploration can be thorough enough to exclude the possible presence of hazardous materials or wastes at a given site. The data from discrete sampling locations may not represent conditions at locations not sampled. It should be noted that the presence of contaminants at a particular property may not always be apparent, and the completion of a subsurface investigation cannot provide a guarantee that hazardous wastes or materials are not present at a site.

If unknown contamination is encountered during construction activities, contact the Coordinated Site Analysis group immediately. 503-823-7881

Introduction The City of Portland’s Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) Coordinated Site Analysis (CSA) program was requested to conduct sampling and analysis of soil slated for excavation for the Willamette Park Bank Restoration project; BES Project E10395. This project will be designed to improve the amount and quality of riparian and shallow water habitat of the Willamette River by regrading the riverbank at Willamette Park, adding large wood structures, removing rip rap and concrete from the bank and revegetating with native plant species. The new top of bank will be set back approximately 30 to 60 feet along about 1,300 linear feet of the riverbank. The project footprint is expected to be around 2 acres.

An environmental records search was conducted for the site in January 2012. The Portland Shipbuilding Co. was identified as an industry that was previously located on the northern portion of the park property, within the subject site boundaries. Shipbuilding activities are typically associated with the use of asbestos. It was also discovered that Willamette Park was used as the disposal site for demolition debris originating from the Oregon Journal Building, Front Avenue, and the Vista Ridge Tunnel. In addition, records for three Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Environmental Cleanup Sites (ECSI) and two leaking underground storage tank (LUST) sites were identified for properties near the subject site.

Based on the findings of the environmental records search, the CSA Program recommended conducting sampling and analysis to identify any contamination in soil slated for excavation.

This memorandum presents the results of this sampling and analysis.

Memorandum Results of Environmental Sampling and Analysis for the Willamette Park Bank Restoration

Sampling and Analysis BES CSA personnel conducted environmental soil sampling on January 19th and 26th, 2012. Five test pits were dug with an excavator near the bank of the Willamette River at Willamette Park to explore the presence and depth of the fill material. Four soil samples were collected from four separate test pits for chemical analysis. Soil from TP-3, TP-4 and TP-5 was screened with a Photoionization Detector (PID) to identify the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Test pit and sample locations are shown on the attached Figure.

BES personnel donned clean Nitrile gloves to collect each sample. The soil samples were collected from the piles of soil removed from the test pits and homogenized in a decontaminated stainless steel bowl to ensure that the samples were a good representation of the total depth of the excavation. The soil samples were placed in 4 oz. glass amber jars and capped with Teflon-lined lids. Water samples were collected from the B-1 and B-5 sample locations shown on the attached Figure. The sample jars were labeled and placed in a chilled container for delivery to the Test America Laboratory in Beaverton, OR under chain of custody for analysis.

The soil samples were analyzed for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH-HCID) and Resources Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) total metals with applicable follow-ups. Two of the soil samples were analyzed for asbestos. Some gray plaster and off-white skim coat and paint removed from TP-4 were also analyzed for asbestos.

Field Observations Visual indications of contamination were encountered during this sampling event. Crushed up bricks, asphalt, chunks of concrete, metal, and plastic were observed in all test pits dug south of the large parking lot and boat ramps (TP-1 through TP-4). A very large chunk of concrete and bricks, measuring approximately nine feet long, two to three feet tall and one to two feet thick was pulled out of TP-4. Chunks of metal and plastic were also observed in TP-5 and TP-7 dug north of the boat ramps, although those pits did not uncover as much demolition debris as the southern four test pits. Photographs of the test pits and excavated soil are included in the Figures at the end of this memorandum.

The PID scan on soil from TP-3 and TP-5 did not result in any detection of VOCs. The PID scan on soil from TP-4 resulted in a reading of 1 part per million (ppm) VOCs.

Analytical Results Soil sample results were screened against Oregon Department of Environmental Quality Risk Based Concentrations for soil ingestion, dermal contact and inhalation exposure pathways (DEQ RBCs) and DEQ accepted background concentrations for metals. The laboratory analysis report that includes all of the analytical results is provided in the Appendix at the end of this memorandum. Tables presenting the results of this environmental investigation are also provided at the end of this memorandum.

2 Memorandum Results of Environmental Sampling and Analysis for the Willamette Park Bank Restoration

Metals were found to be above DEQ accepted background concentrations for arsenic, lead and zinc in every sample. Chromium slightly exceeded its DEQ accepted background concentration of 42 mg/Kg in sample TP-7 (45.9 mg/Kg). Mercury exceeded its DEQ accepted background concentration of 0.07 mg/Kg in TP-1 (0.072 mg/Kg), TP-4 (0.351 mg/Kg), and TP-5 (0.345 mg/Kg).

A toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) test was run for lead on sample TP-5 since the concentration of lead was over 20 times the laboratory Method Detection Limit (MDL). A TCLP test determines the leachability of the lead out of the soil in a landfill scenario. The sample passed the TCLP test, making the material acceptable for disposal at a RCRA Subtitle-D landfill.

Arsenic was found to be below the DEQ accepted background concentration of 7 mg/Kg in all samples. The concentrations of arsenic detected in the samples exceed the DEQ RBCs for residential, urban residential and occupational receptors but are below DEQ RBCs for construction and excavation workers. Concentrations of all other metals are below applicable DEQ RBCs.

Lube oil was detected in all soil samples collected from the test pits. All concentrations of lube oil are below DEQ RBCs.

Polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were detected in all soil samples. Concentrations of benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene and dibenzo(a,h)anthracene exceeded one or more DEQ RBC in TP-1, TP-4 and TP-5. Concentrations of benzo(a)pyrene and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene exceed one or more DEQ RBC for all samples. All concentrations of PAHs detected in these samples are found to be below applicable DEQ RBCs for construction and excavation workers.

Asbestos was not detected in soil or in the plaster and skim coat.

Conclusions Based on the results of the sampling and analysis, excavation spoils from the bank of the Willamette River at Willamette Park will require disposal at a RCRA Subtitle-D solid waste landfill.

Since the excavation spoils south of the large parking lot and boat ramps will be intermixed with large amounts of demolition debris, the landfill will require that to be disposed as Special Waste rather than Petroleum Contaminated Soil (PCS). The excavation spoils north of the parking lot and boat ramps will likely not have much demolition debris intermixed and will be able to be disposed as PCS at the landfill. The CSA Program currently has active price agreements for disposal of Special Waste and PCS with three Subtitle-D landfills that are relatively close to Portland. These prices are as follows (only includes tipping and does not include costs for excavation, trucking, and truck liners): CSA Contract Prices with nearby Subtitle-D Landfills Hillsboro Landfill Riverbend Landfill Wasco County Landfill Waste Stream Type (~20 miles away) (~40 miles away) (~80 miles away) Special Waste $65/ton + $6/load $61/ton (no additional $21/ton (no additional fees) environmental fee fees) PCS $29/ton plus a $6/load $20/ton (no additional $14.28/ton (no additional environmental fee fees) fees)

Additional sampling and analysis may be recommended as the project design progresses and permit requirements become clear.

Limitations The purpose of this investigation is to report the findings of sampling and analysis. The investigation is intended to identify contamination related to environmental conditions at the subject site. The samples collected only indicate the presence or absence of contaminants in the composite sample. Contamination may exist in areas not sampled. The focus of this survey is on hazardous substances likely associated with the historic activities conducted within the subject site. In this context, the term hazardous substance includes the chemicals listed as hazardous substances in the Code of Federal Regulations, Oregon Administrative Rules, and petroleum products. This survey is in effect as of February 22, 2012.

Re: Pre-Design Geotechnical Report Willamette Park Restoration Portland, OR Project No. BES E10395

Introduction

This letter report presents the results of our geotechnical study as part of the pre-design phase of the Willamette Park Restoration project. Our study is per your request and is based on provided sketches and correspondence. The project is located at the Willamette Park in Southwest Portland.

The City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) is planning on restoring the river banks within Willamette Park and to construct a backwater area that expands the existing mud flat. The purpose of the restoration is to recover the ecological potential of the site within the constraints of urban infrastructure as defined in the City of Portland 2000 Framework. The goal of BES is to grade the banks to a form where BES can restore the native riparian and plant communities to benefit the terrestrial and aquatic species. BES is considering several different slope options for the bank and widening the beach area below the ordinary high water level. Improvements will also benefit park users and the community.

Our review of aerial photos taken of the site over the past 75 years show that industrial buildings used to exist in sections of the site, trees were removed or planted in portions of the site, the placement of fill in many portions of the park area, and that the shoreline has been extended farther east into the Willamette River.

In areas where the river banks are proposed to be regraded and in the proposed backwater area, the purpose of our study, as part of the pre-design phase of this project, was to report subsurface conditions, analyze the stability of slopes, and to provide recommendations for the proposed slope options.

Field Work and Laboratory Testing

Field explorations were completed on January 19 and 25, 2012 and consisted of six test pit explorations (TP-1 through TP-6). Test pits were excavated down to a maximum depth of 16. 5 feet below the ground surface (bgs) using a 2 foot wide bucket with either a Case 580K backhoe or a Deere 120 trackhoe. Test pits TP-1 through TP-3 and TP-5 were not able to penetrate through the fill and into the native alluvial soils. In TP-1 and TP-2 refusal was met on concrete debris at depths of about 6 ½ to 7 feet bgs. Due to rapid groundwater seepage and the walls of

the test pit caving into the pit, we were only able to excavate down to a depth of about 14 ½ feet bgs in TP-3 and 6 feet bgs in TP-5. Test pits TP-1 through TP-4 and TP- 6 were located within 50 feet of the bank that slopes down to the Willamette River. Test pit TP-5 was located in the area for the proposed backwater channel. Test pit locations are shown on the Exploration Location Map, Plate 1.

Summary of Field Investigations

Surface Conditions

Willamette Park is located to the east of SW Macadam Avenue adjacent to the Willamette River. About 70 to 80 percent of the park is covered by grass, trees, and shrubs. About 30 to 50 percent of the grass covered areas of the park are soccer fields. The remaining 20 to 30 percent of the park is covered by pavements (parking lots, pathways, and streets) and tennis courts. About 400 feet south of where SW Nebraska Street enters the park, is an asphalt concrete parking lot and boat ramp (main parking lot). The park is generally flat to the north and south of this parking lot, except for along the river banks. Based on LiDAR derived contours on the City of Portland CGIS Framework and observations made while on site, the slopes of the river banks in areas that are proposed to be regraded are about 1-½ to 2H:1V. The average height of the river banks is about 16 feet. To the south of the main parking lot, the river banks are covered with construction debris (concrete, asphalt, brick, metal, etc). To the north of the main parking lot the banks are covered with bushes and trees.

Subsurface Conditions

The geological map (Madin, 2004) shows the project area as underlain by Quaternary alluvium (Qal). Along the Willamette River the Quaternary alluvium (Qal) consists of gravel, sand, silt, clay, and organic material (Madin, 2004).

Fill was encountered in all of our test pit explorations. In TP-1, TP-2, TP-3, and TP-5 fill was observed down to the maximum depth of each exploration. In TP-4 the depth of fill was about 15 feet and in TP-6 the depth of the fill was about 7 feet. In TP-1 through TP-4 the fill consisted of silt to sand with gravel, cobbles, and construction debris. The volume of the construction debris was about 30 to 60 percent of the excavated test pit material. Observed construction debris included concrete, brick, asphalt, metal, cables, and other types of building materials. In TP-4, we observed a section of concrete that was up to 9 feet long, 4 feet tall, and 1 ½ feet wide. In TP-5 the fill material consisted of silt to silty sand with trace to some metal, wood, and brick debris. In TP-6 the fill consisted of silt with sand, gravel, cobbles, and trace concrete and brick debris.

Fill was also observed in several historical borings from our boring database. These borings were located between the railroad tracks and SW Macadam at about SW Florida Street. The depth of fill in borings located on the west side of the property near the railroad tracks was between 5-½ feet and 11 feet.

In TP-4, we observed alluvial deposits of stiff silt with sand and loose to medium dense sandy silt underlying the fill.

In TP-6, we observed alluvial deposits of soft to medium stiff gravelly silt underlying the fill.

2 Groundwater was observed in four out of the six test pit explorations. To the south of the main parking lot observed groundwater levels in TP-3 and TP-4 were about 13 to 14 feet bgs, which was about the same as the Willamette River levels. We did not observe groundwater in TP-1 and TP-2, which were located to the south of TP-3 and TP-4. To the north of the main parking lot observed groundwater levels in TP-5 and TP-6 were about 3 to 6 feet bgs, which was about 10 to 12 feet above the Willamette River levels. In test pits TP-3 through TP-5, we were only able to excavate about 1 ½ to 3 feet below the groundwater level due to severe caving and groundwater filling in the hole. In test pit TP-6, groundwater seepage was slower than in test pits TP-3 through TP-5, therefore we were able to excavate about 4 to 5 feet below the groundwater level before the caving of the sidewalls became so severe that excavation was no longer possible.

Discussion

Slope Stability Analysis

In areas where river banks are proposed to be regraded, we performed slope stability analyses for both the existing slopes and for regraded slopes. Our analyses assumed that after the river banks are regraded that there will not be a net increase in the amount of fill and the weight of the fill compared to the existing fill conditions. If the design shows a net increase in the amount of fill and/or the weight of fill, then we will need to re-evaluate our stability analysis and possible perform additional explorations.

Based on information from our test pits and observing fill debris along the face of the bank, we assumed for our stability analysis the fill extends from the top of the slope down to the toe of the slope and overlies alluvial deposits of silt with sand. We also assumed a static groundwater level at 13 feet bgs.

We used the computer program XSTABL to analyze the existing river bank at a slope of 1- ¾H:1V and a height of 16 feet against shallow and global slope failure using Simplified Bishops and Spencer’s methods. Shallow failures are defined as failures that occur within the slope. Global failures are defined as failures that extend through the fill at the top of the slope and into the soils below the base of the slope. Based on observing stable slopes on the days of our explorations, we used a factor of safety of 1.05 in our analysis to back-calculate soil parameters for the fill. This is a conservative approach to developing soil parameters. In our analysis we compared how the soil parameters changed due to the river level being at the same elevation as the groundwater level versus the river level being at the toe of the slope and groundwater seeping from the face of the slope.

We used XSTABL to analyze the shallow and global stability of the regraded river bank under static load conditions for slopes of 3H:1V, 2–½H:1V, and 2H:1V. Our analysis assumed: 1) bank materials consists of engineered fill, 2) the engineered fill is constructed on the existing fill and has a key at the toe of the slope, 3) existing fill is benched at a slope of 2H:1V, 4) groundwater is at 13 feet bgs and is seeping out of the face of the slope, and 5) the nominal velocity of the Willamette River along the west shoreline is not high enough to erode the soil in the bank. For slopes consisting of engineered fill and graded at 2H:1V, the results of our analysis indicated a factor of safety of about 1.3 to 1.4 against a global slope failure. Recommendations on the engineered fill are found below in our Conclusion section. The results of our analysis showed a relative increase in the factor of safety for shallow slope failures compared to global slope failures and for graded slopes flatter than 2H:1V.

3 Conclusion

Banks

Based on the results of our slope stability analysis, we do not recommend grading river banks steeper than 2H:1V. Banks can be regraded by laying back the existing fill materials or by constructing the bank out of engineered fill.

From our understanding, BES will be modeling flows along the Willamette River, which will include determining stream velocities along the west shoreline adjacent to Willamette Park. Additional evaluation will be necessary for regraded river banks that consist of the existing fill, if the nominal velocity of the Willamette River along the west shoreline is greater than 1/3-foot per second.

Based on our slope stability analysis, several different types of soils can be used as engineered fill. However, soils used as engineered fill should be within a particle size range that has a nominal velocity required for erosion that is greater than the nominal velocity of the Willamette River along the west shoreline. We can provide recommendations on the types of soils that can be used as engineered fill; however, we will need to know the nominal velocity for the Willamette River along the west shoreline over the expected lifetime of the bank. We recommend that materials used as engineered fill be compacted to 95% of maximum density of a standard proctor (ASTM 698).

River banks constructed out of engineered fill should be benched into the existing soils at an approximate slope of 2H:1V. We recommend that the maximum height between the benches should be 4 feet. Based on our test pit observations, some sloughing of the soil along the vertical face of the bench should be expected to occur. We recommend that the minimum toe width at the base of the fill be equal to the horizontal thickness of the engineered fill. Prior to placing engineered fill, existing surfaces within the areas of the fill should be stripped free of vegetation and topsoil. We can provide estimated stripping depths if required.

In the areas where river banks will be regraded, we do not anticipate that settlements will not be greater than what occurs under the existing conditions. This assumes that there is not a net increase in the amount and/or weight of the fill. If there are areas, where there will be a net increase in the amount and/or weight of the fill, then we recommend doing additional explorations to evaluate settlements, the impact that new fill will have on the stability of soils below the fill, and the impact on underground utilities.

Based on information from our test pits, historical borings, and aerial photos, fill possibly covers the majority of the park and the depth to native soils will vary across the site and could be deeper than 15 feet bgs. If it is required to provide an estimated quantity of the existing fill, then we recommend additional explorations throughout the required area.

Both the Willamette River and groundwater have seasonal levels that are above the base of excavations where river banks are to be regraded and the backwater area. Based on observations in our test pits, severe sloughing occurred within the test pit excavations below the water level. Based on river stage data between 1987 and 2011, water levels in the Willamette River are about 5 feet below the ordinary high water elevation of 12.8 feet (COP Datum) between mid-August and October. The toe of the slope is about 2 to 3 feet below the ordinary high water elevation. At the time of our explorations the groundwater levels were about the same as the river levels to the south of the main parking lot and about 10 to 12 feet above the river levels to the north of the 4 main parking lot. In order to provide information on how the groundwater levels change throughout the year, we recommend installing groundwater instrumentation and collecting groundwater data.

Backwater Area

In the backwater area, excavations will be about 16 feet deep. Due to rapid seepage of groundwater coming into the test pit at 3 feet bgs and severe caving of the side walls, we were only able to excavate down to a depth of about 6 feet bgs in TP-5. Soils in our test pit consisted of soft silt and loose sandy silt. Based on the conpitions we observed, excavations for the backwater channel may require special equipment and possible dewatering. In this area we recommend additional geotechnical explorations by cased sonic drilling methods in order to characterize the soils down to 5 feet below the proposed base of the excavation and to provide slope recommendations. We also recommend installing groundwater instrumentation to characterize how the groundwater level changes in the backwater area throughout the year.
