Job Summary

The Lands Management division of Clark County Public Works is seeking an experienced professional to manage on-going cleanup coordination and plan for future use of Camp Bonneville. Camp Bonneville is a former military reservation site in eastern Clark County. The site covers about 3,800 acres of mostly undeveloped forest, where the Department of Defense operated from 1910 to 1995. Site investigation and cleanup efforts have been underway since the late 1990’s, preparing portions of the site for future use. We seek a seasoned professional to engage with internal and external stakeholders, ensure compliance with close-out requirements, and help the county transition from cleanup to planning and reuse of the site.

These measures will guide the future management of the site. The goal is to successfully complete these tasks, enabling the implementation of a master plan for the site as outlined in the Camp Bonneville Reuse Plan (September 1998, Revised in 2003 and 2005).

The ideal candidate will have experience with the Washington State Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) and managing the compliance of environmental cleanup activities. This is a project position that is planned for three years from the date of hire.
