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.
