EPA.Of those that responded, EVRAZ, Chevron, Burlington Northern Sante Fe, Siltronic and Phillips 66 declined to answer any questions.Kinder Morgan, NW Natural, the Port of Portland, Union Pacific and the city of Portland said they were not currently involved with EPA.Pirzadeh's predecessor said it was "disturbing" that the EPA would show any interest in moving forward without the state or Portland's participation.Dennis McLerran, former region administrator under the Obama administration, said that was "unprecedented" and seemed designed to delay cleanup altogether.McLerran said everyone involved in the nearly two-decade process knew there would be additional river sampling after the cleanup plan was finalized in January. "That needs to be done in a transparent fashion," he said.Pirzadeh's letter stated the agency "deeply values" its partners and is committed to moving toward cleaning up the river to benefit both people and the environment.-- Andrew Theenatheen@oregonian.com503-294-4026@andrewtheen...

Russia is one of the world leaders in reprocessing used cooking oil which it then sells to Iran and Turkey.Anthony Morgan, 35 and Jahquay Rowe, 21, of Flushing, N.Y., were both charged with fifth-degree larceny and released after posting $1,000 bonds.On Sept. 10, police said officers were flagged down by the owner of Valley Farms Drive In on Boston Avenue. They said the owner then pointed to the outside rear of the restaurant where a small tanker truck was pumping used cooking oil from a tank. They said the restaurant owner told officers he had not given permission to the truck driver to take the oil.On the side of the truck was the company name, Grease Monkeys Inc. of Old Bridge, N.J.When they confronted the two men in the truck, later identified as Morgan and Rowe, police said the men admitted they did not have permission to take the oil. They told officers their “Russian bosses,” in Queens, N.Y., had told them to drive along Route 1 in Connecticut looking for unlocked containers of used cooking oil, police said.The New Jersey company listed on the truck is out of business and the telephone has been disconnected.
