Tongue Point: Port of Astoria leased site in 2009 with high hopes
Continued from Page 1A
The Port and Bly had been exchanging draft
compensation agreements and counteroffers.
Knight said a fundamental difference was that
Bly wanted compensation for the work he did in
a white paper, an authoritative report on a pro-
posal, while the agency wanted to compensate
him speciically for cargo he directed to the Port.
“It does appear we can’t bridge that gap,”
Knight said.
Untapped potential
The Port leased North Tongue point in 2009
with high hopes. The site has played host to
many proposals, but nothing has reached frui-
tion. The site is used primarily as a temporary
location for Paciic Seafood Group, along with
storage and work space for two shipbuilding
and repair companies. The Port’s lease on the
property expires in 2019 but includes options
to extend or buy the property. A majority of
Port commissioners support buying the facil-
ity, but the agency lacks the money.
Knight has said the Port and Washing-
ton Development Group, the Montana-based
owner of the property, are still apart on a pur-
chase price, but that the agency doesn’t feel
rushed to take action. He contends the pur-
chase price needs to go down because of the
signiicant investment needed to modernize the
facility.

While people lee, others in
Matthew’s path stay put
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Despite evacuation orders
and dire warnings, Robert and Georgette Tyler say they are
staying put in their 500-square foot rental home in Cape
Canaveral, undeterred by a furious Hurricane Matthew, which
was soon to be knocking on their door.
Taking a break from putting plywood on windows, Robert
Tyler said he feared getting stuck in trafic and that it was too
much trouble to pack up his motorcycles and irearms. He has
two generators, 50 gallons of fuel and enough food and water
for a week. Plus, he is a handyman and his phone will be ring-
ing off the hook once the storm passes.
“It’s part of Florida life I guess,” he said.
As Matthew put the U.S. in its sights, about 2 million peo-
ple were encouraged to head inland ahead of the most power-
ful storm to threaten the Atlantic coast in more than a decade.
Matthew killed at least 16 people in the Caribbean as it cut
through Haiti, Cuba and the Bahamas. The storm was fore-
cast to scrape much of the Florida coast tonight, potentially
as a Category 4 storm with 130 mph winds, and any slight
deviation could mean landfall or it heading farther out to sea.
Either way, forecasters say it is going to be close enough to
wreak havoc along the lower part of the East Coast, dump-
ing up to 15 inches in rain in some spots.
Body image advice for parents
amid 2016 campaign insults
WASHINGTON — Even if your daughters don’t pay
much attention to politics, they’d be hard-pressed to have
missed Donald Trump’s attack of a former Miss Universe’s
weight or comments about a 400-pound hacker. It resonated
with a 15-year-old who said this week the words damage girls’
body image and asked Hillary Clinton how to help.
And it resonates with adolescent and mental health experts
who say it’s time to make clear to kids that they’re more than
their looks — even if a presidential candidate can get away
with publicly degrading comments.
Girls are particularly at risk for having a distorted body
image that can lead to eating disorders, regardless of their
weight.
“For them to have that be reinforced by a presidential
candidate, it really sets us back generations,” said Dr. Jane
Swedler, chief of adolescent medicine at Winthrop University
Hospital in Mineola, New York.
“We can’t tell the kids just to turn him off, because that’s
not the answer,” added mental health expert Linda Lucker
Leibowitz of the University of Pennsylvania. She says par-
ents, teachers and counselors alike need to talk with children
of all ages about this kind of weight bullying.
inding other legal support, per-
haps attorneys who would work
pro bono, to robustly defend the
water district.
Origins of the dam
The debate has churned up
interest in the origins of the
dam and in the expert assess-
ments of the structure’s useful-
ness for lood control.
The Eighth Street Dam was
built over the Skipanon River in
1963 with the help and inanc-
ing of the federal government,
part of three lood control struc-
tures on the river.
The
federal
Natural
Resources Conservation Ser-
vice said in 2014 that the water
district was free to operate
or decommission the dam as
the owner because the federal
interest was complete once the
structure reached the end of its
useful life of 50 years.
That ownership, the city
believes, is contingent on the
city easement the water dis-
trict obtained to operate the
dam, an easement the city
now maintains the district has
forfeited.
A 2002 summary report
on the dam and the other
lood-control structures by the
Natural Resources Conserva-
tion Service — released by
the city to The Daily Astorian
through a broader public-re-
cords request — provides some
ammunition for all sides in the
dispute.
The federal report found
that the dam was likely only
useful in a two-year lood, not
the more serious 10-year lood
anticipated when the project
was designed in the 1960s.
The report recommended
the dam not be permanently
removed without additional
planning by the local com-

munity, warning that removal
would increase the risk of lood
damage to upstream properties.
The Nygaard family, who owns
Warrenton Fiber, and Mayor
Mark Kujala’s family, who
own property near the dam,
have urged the city to take con-
trol of the dam because of the
potential for lood risk if it is
removed.
The report also found that
the dam was nearing the end
of its useful life and would at
some point need to be refur-
bished, replaced or removed.
The federal government recom-
mended more study to evaluate
alternatives, including better
topographical surveys to accu-
rately map the lood plain.
A state inspection
A decade later, after a 2012
inspection, the state Water
Resources Department ques-
tioned whether the dam was
capable of lood control. The
inspection suggested the dam
was probably a signiicant
hazard and that an engineer-
ing analysis and options for
removal were warranted.
The water district approved
an engineering plan earlier this
year that concludes that remov-
ing the dam would not increase
lood risk.
A city technical review of
the engineering plan, however,
questioned whether the water
district and the Columbia River
Estuary Study Taskforce — a
onetime partner in the dam’s
removal — accurately mapped
the lood plain. Questions about
whether Kurt Fritsch, the for-
mer city manager, should have
informed the City Commission
about the technical review led
to Fritsch’s resignation in June
and Blitz’s fact-inding report
on the dam.
Scheller, of the water dis-
trict, is convinced the dam is a
hazard and should go. But Blitz
has said the city should take
control of the dam and deter-
mine whether it should be oper-
ated for lood control or even-
tually removed, potentially
in return for wetland mitiga-
tion on a future development
project.

Bly’s proposal
Bly said his proposal would have the own-
er-operator of a terminal provide the money
to buy and improve the land, with the Port
retaining ownership. He estimates the termi-
nal would cost about $100 million to build,
and could provide more than $3 million in
annual revenue to the Port. The proposed
freight, he has said, is “not lammable, explo-
sive, toxic, hazardous, corrosive or caustic.
It is not coal, petroleum, LNG or some other
petrochemical.”
Knight said most estimates he’s heard to
make the property a modern terminal range
from $500 million to $1 billion. Asked why
such an owner-operator like Bly has mentioned
hasn’t come to the Port directly with a proposal
for North Tongue Point, Knight said the cost of
upgrading the site could be too high to warrant
the investment.

WORLD IN BRIEF

A new issue, Knight said, is who’s responsi-
ble for improving the sewage system at Tongue
Point. The U.S. Department of Labor, which
oversees the Tongue Point Job Corps Center,
has been planning an improvement of its sew-
age system, and likely disconnecting from the
Port, which could have to inance pumping its
sewage over a hill to Astoria’s lagoons.
“If it becomes a Port obligation, do we
upgrade the sewage system, or eventually walk
away from Tongue Point?” Knight asked.
