Testimony at recent Colum­
bia Slough hearings adds over­
whelming weight on the side of
opposition to slough closure,
H .M .B ln d , presidentoiC olum ­
bia Slough Development C o r ­
poration said Monday.
In le tte rs to the Port of P o rt­
land,
Board of Multnomah
County Comm issioners,Oregon
Department of Environmental
Quality, and U.S.Corps of Engi­
neers, B ird said the P o rt's re­
quest to plug the mouth of the
slough would " close off for all
tim e”
any chance of navi­
gational are! recreational
de­
velopment of the north Portland
waterway.
It would be a sad economic
and ecological tragedy If
the
m illio ns of d olla rs spent by the
public and Industry to Improve
the recreational and
navi­
gational potential of Columbia
Slough were wasted through
closure by the P o rt,” Bird said.
The P ort of Portland has an
application pending with the
Corps of Engineers tohulld
a
roadway and culvert nen. the
W illam ette R iver mouth of the
slough so that It could be closed
off as protection against flood­
ing in its Rivergate industrial
development.
But the Columbia Slough De­
velopment Corporation, repre­
senting industries and prrn erty
owners along the slough, con­
tend that the waterway should he
developed fo r la rg e tra ffic and
fo r recreation.
Testimony at the p r ll 1
County Commissioners showed
that pollution controls are on the
way to cleaning up the slough
The P o rt's plan t o r use if would
Just defeat the pur use,” Bird
wrote.
Industry is prepared to sup­
port proper goals fo rw a te r use
of the slough on the basis of fact
and without emotion or bias.
B ird said, " ^ ’ rom in dustry's
point of view ve are certainly in
favor of seei lg thatall pollution
Is stopped. We are also in favor
of seeing tl.e Slough used fo r
water trar sportatlon fo r i n ­
dustry a well as recreation.”
A sloughdredging and w iden-
lng project has already been ap­
proved b> Congress, but no ap­
propriation has been approved
to finance it.
