Problems/Comments
Petroleum and lead contamination from historic logging operations. On September 14, 2002 APC and the FS entered into an MOU to establish a process by which APC would provide the FS with a master list of all known LTFs where APC conducted activities on National Forest Land. This site was one of those identified needing further investigation and possible cleanup. Active Forest Service camp at site.
