Portland Harbor Eligible for 'Superfund' Help

The feds listed the Portland Harbor as eligible for a Superfund cleanup in 2000. 11 years later, not much has happened. “Over $200-million has been spent in the “study” phase, with no actual clean-up.” Portland Congressman Earl Blumenauer says the challenge is that most of the polluters no longer even own the property. He says realistically to clean it up, ratepayers would have to pick up some of the tab.
