Site Summary

Bradford Island lies within the Bonneville Dam complex, near Cascade Locks. DEQ is working with the US Army Corps of Engineers to evaluate various contamination sources on the island. These include a half-acre landfill, a shooting range, and disposal areas for sand blast grit and light bulbs. Electrical equipment, some of which contained PCBs, was removed from the river bottom adjacent to the island in 2000 and 2002. Plans are underway to remove PCB-contaminated sediment from the river in these areas during the Fall of 2007.
