Clackamas County’s Water Environment Services is expected to be announced as the new owner of the bankrupt Blue Heron Paper Company’s West Linn property.
The deal is set to be formally announced today in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Portland. Water Environment Services submitted a $1.75 million bid for the West Linn property with an interest in obtaining the site’s outfall permits. It would allow the county to release treated wastewater into the Willamette River from the property.
