ECOLOGY RELEASES PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF RAYONIER OFF-PROPERTY SOIL DIOXIN STUDY
February 10, 2009 - Earlier today the Washington State Department of Ecology released preliminary results of the Rayonier off-site soil dioxin study. Nathan West, Director of Community & Economic Development for the City stated, "The results of the study are good news for Port Angeles. Only minor levels of dioxin were found. Department of Ecology will not require property owners to take clean up action on the basis of this report."
The dioxin study results ranged from 0.8 parts per trillion to 76.3 parts per trillion which are relatively low levels. In contrast the Environmental Protection Agency sets a national threshold of 1000 parts per trillion as their residential clean up threshold. West further stated, "The results for Port Angeles are encouraging because the study was intended to find the highest concentrations of dioxins and the results were low".
Evidence of dioxin can result from wood burning, trash burning, vehicle emissions, and other natural sources. These results are expected for any area with a long history of human activities. It is important to note that the Department of Ecology provided no information on the source of the dioxins in these preliminary findings.

BUSINESS LICENSE EXPANSION
June 5, 2007 - City Council agreed to table this issue while more research is done on the details of the ordinance. No future meetings are scheduled at this time.
May 3, 2007 -
Over the last couple of years City staff and various City Council committees have discussed the need to modify and update the Port Angeles Municipal Code (PAMC) regarding business licenses. The City currently licenses 133 businesses that are required to be licensed by Washington State Statute.
To adequately carry out the duties and authority delegated to the City by the Washington State Constitution and the laws of the State, it is necessary for the City to maintain accurate and current information regarding business, trade, service and commercial activities conducted in the City. The most efficient method to acquire and maintain such information is through a program of licensing and registering businesses.
Licensing and registering businesses provides necessary information to assist the City in carrying out its Public Safety mission through efficient responses from Police and Fire Departments, plan for essential public services including infrastructure (streets, utilities, etc.), promote economic development opportunities, and maintain a sustainable and vibrant community.

This Agreement was patterned after the successful cooperation between the City and the County in dealing with the Western UGA annexation earlier this year.
The agreement also acknowledges that other issues remain pertaining to the orderly growth and development of the EUGA. Some of those include extension of the City waste water and utility services into the area, revenue sharing between the City and County, and coordinated planning for development in the EUGA. The City and County pledge to work through those issues. They will be resolved in a step-by-step process through subsequent cooperative agreements.
Both the City and the County are committed to working towards cooperative and mutual benefits for businesses and citizens of the area.
In Partnership With the Community.....
The agreement was also signed by the Clallam County Board of Commissioners at their meeting on November 8th..
The agreement will encourage responsible economic development in the EUGA. And, while recognizing the need to plan for growth in the EUGA, the City remains committed to fostering and enhancing the health and vitality of businesses inside the city.
