Getting to Study Area Cleanup Collect additional soil and groundwater data Ecology finishes Harbor Sediments Investigation Upland data summary report (Volume I) Marine data summary report (Volume II) Preliminary cleanup standards section Development of alternatives section Evaluate Interim Action alternatives (Volume III) Draft Interim Action Plan Public Comment Period
Next Steps Ecology reviewing: Agency Review Draft (ARD) Interim Action Alternatives Evaluation Report (Vol III) Feb 2015 Rayonier will submit: Public Review Draft (PRD) Interim Action Alternatives Evaluation Report (Vol III) Summer 2015 Anticipated public comment period Fall 2015 Final Upland, Marine, & Alternatives Reports Early 2016 ARD Interim Action Plan Spring 2016 Anticipated public comment period Summer 2016
