Gailbraith Golf Course before dredged material is place there. The purpose of the
containment walls is to prevent the leachate currently in the landfill from moving off-site
once the dredged material has been placed on the site. The recent discovery of

RWOCB's recommendation. The issue expresses concern over the potential health impacts
that the dredged material could impose on nearby neighborhoods and businesses. Staff
recommends that the Port complete a Human Health Risk Assessment, the standard
practice for assessing the risks associated with potential chemical exposures. It was
recommended that the Board authorize an agreement with Harding Lawson Associates to
accomplish the tasks. HLA is very familiar with the 42-foot Project as they are currently
preparing a portion of the Project's SEIR/EIS. They are especially familiar with the
