Several chemicals, including lead and mercury, were removed from the soil at the former Hambleton Lumber Company site, at 335 S. "A" St., Washougal, in 2014. The Port of Camas-Washougal is asking the state legislature to support a state program that paid for most of the cleanup. (Port of Camas-Washougal)

The Port of Camas-Washougal’s legislative agenda for 2019 includes continued funding for a state program that helped transform a once-toxic site into what is now one of the port’s shining achievements: the popular Washougal Waterfront Park and Trail.

Port leaders listed the continued support for the Model Toxic Cleanup Account as one of its main legislative concerns in the new year.
