2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, JUNE 5, 2017 Cleanup of derelict vessels starts on Columbia River near Goble about two weeks, and then the Oregon Department of Lands will remove any remaining vessels and restore the site. Offi cials said Clay Jonak and Roger Ison leased the site in August 2012 to restore a former ferry called the River Queen. They brought in an estimated 27 more vessels. Oregon terminated the lease, and Jonak and Ison had until the end of May to remove the vessels. Jonak and Ison appealed but later reached a settlement. Fol- lowing a two-year effort to address pollution concerns, the state took possession of the site on Thursday. Associated Press LONGVIEW, Wash. — State and federal offi cials have started cleanup and restoration of a site on the Oregon side of the Colum- bia River that turned into a mooring area for more than two dozen derelict vessels in recent years. U.S. Coast Guard offi cials tell The Daily News that the fi rst part of the project that started Thursday near Goble involves removing hazard- ous substances that include fuel, asbestos, lead paint and household wastes. Offi cials say that will take Standoff in Seaside ends peacefully The Daily Astorian How do you fi gure it’s solid waste?” During the time of the lease, three of the vessels sank over a 12-month period. The Coast Guard said two of those required emergency cleanups. The cost of cleaning up the site has yet to be determined. Coast Guard offi cials say their cost will be covered by the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund through the Columbia River Incident Management Division. The Oregon Department of Lands said it will use money from the Common School Fund. “We’ve been trying to work with the lessees,” said Julie Curtis from the Oregon Department of State Lands. “We’ve been trying to get them in compliance in state pollution laws. It’s been a dif- fi cult situation over the past year, so we fi nally settled with them.” Jonak said he objects to the state’s conclusion that the vessels should be scrapped as worthless. “The barges the state wants to cut up and dispose of are worth $20 million,” Jonak told The Daily News. “They deemed them solid waste. I live on it. I have a home on it. A Seaside man was arrested Friday afternoon following a standoff with police. Shaun Scarborough, 28, was struck by a stun gun and arrested by Seaside Police at a South Downing Street home. He was taken to Providence Seaside Hospital to receive treatment for the taser wounds before being brought to the Clatsop County Jail. No other injuries were reported. Police originally responded to a report of a physical alter- cation just before 2:30 p.m. at an apartment on the 1000 block of South Columbia Street. Scarborough’s father, who lives at the apartment, told police nothing had hap- pened but that his son had left and may have been driving recklessly. Offi cers located the vehicle at the home on South Down- ing Street shortly after, though Scarborough was not home. When Scarborough returned, police said, the standoff ensued in the kitchen. Scarborough was arrested for criminal trespass, criminal mischief, felon in possession of a fi rearm, interfering with a police offi cer, a probation detention warrant and reckless driving. No charges resulted from the original report of an altercation.
