Author(s) Toxics Cleanup Program
Description Ecology finished cleaning up and restoring the Columbia River public waterfront in Northport in fall 2025, the conclusion of a project that began in 2019. Cleanup construction took two years due to river conditions, with work stopping in the winter. The cleanup removed 28,500 tons of metals-contaminated sand, soil, and slag. Using local contractors and materials, the project injected $9.4 million into the local economy.
