High Water Notice

5/17/2018

 
You may have noticed higher than usual river levels on the Columbia River in recent days.  Rising river levels are due to Spring snowmelt in the upper Columbia River Basin.  Over the next 12 hours, river levels are expected to surpass 15 feet (at the Vancouver Gage) but remain below minor flood levels. Multnomah County Drainage District (MCDD) staff will begin surveillance of the levee system and keep a close watch on river levels.  
 
There is no reason to be alarmed at this time – MCDD staff are taking precautionary steps to inform the community of the predicted conditions. We ask for your support in sharing the message below with Bridgeton neighbors, particularly those who live on or directly behind the levee.  Additionally, if there are contacts that we should reach out to directly, we would appreciate if you could share those with us.
 
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach me on my cell at 907-209-0370.
 
Thank you for helping to share this information with the community!
 
Best regards,

0 Comments

 
News Announcement regarding La Mota Dispensary at 207 N. Bridgeton    
Yesterday the BNA board received verbal notice from La Mota LLC that the company would not open a dispensary at the location formerly occupied by Channel’s Edge. Today we received email confirmation that ONI also heard this verbal notice. At this time, though, no steps have been taken by La Mota to officially withdraw the application..

Because of this development, BNA leaders have decided to cancel the emergency meeting scheduled for next Tuesday, March 6 at the Columbia Edgewater Country Club. The next BNA general meeting is scheduled for April 17, (details to be announced shortly). We will add a discussion item with adequate time to update neighbors of any further information we receive.

Levee Repair on Bridgeton Road

5/30/2017

1 Comment

 
Starts May 30th
Expected to Last 7 - 10 Days

On May 30, MCDD will begin working with contractors to repair damage to the levees caused by recent high water on the Columbia River. The work will be focused in two areas.

On the North side of Bridgeton road across from NE 1st Pl.
At this location work is expected to begin approximately May 30, and last for 7-10 working days.

On the North side of Marine Drive, just west from NE 122nd Ave.
At this location work is expected to begin approximately June 12, and last for 5 working days.

All work is permitted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and repaired areas will be more resistant to future erosion because of the repairs.

The project will:
  • Excavate the damaged areas to remove loose debris
  • Place geotextile and rock fill into damaged and eroded areas.
  • Ensure the repair area transitions smoothly to the existing slope
  • Prepare the disturbed area to be seeded with grass.

MCDD been working with partners, residents and landowners immediately adjacent to work areas to manage parking and other issues.

Some minor traffic delays may be necessary as crews transport materials and heavy equipment to the work sites.
 

Direct questions to:

Air Quality Call to Action

5/11/2017

1 Comment

 
The BNA board is recommending that an expansion permit request by American Petroleum Environmental Service, Inc. (APES) be denied.

Bridgeton neighbors can add their voice through the Metro public comment process which is open until May 19th.  

Metro information on the public comment process.

The BNA Board is recommending the permit be denied based on these facts:
  • APES is out of compliance and in default on most of their operating permits including air, water discharge, and wastewater discharge.
  • DEQ recently entered into a Mutual Agreement and Final Order (MAO) with APES/Clearlube that allows an experimental sulfonation process, that has not be used before, putting the public at further risk.
  • In 2006, APES illegally removed emission control devices, although their permit requires it. Citizens have been subjected to oil refining toxic emissions despite making thousands of complaints. 
  • In 2011 DEQ learned of the illegal emission control device removal but did nothing about it.
  • DEQ chose not to reveal that information to the public until August 2016!
  • APES uses dirty diesel oil as a source of fuel to process their used oil.
  • APES stores unsecured, vulnerable tanks of illegal PCBs.​

Here is the draft of the BNA Board's letter to Metro recommending the expansion permit be denied. You can add your suggestions in the comment section below.
