Conclusions & Recommendations
Recreational opportunities are in great demand by the public - especially the extension of the pedestrian/bike pathway. The Port will evaluate opportunities for providing additional parks and recreational facilities to provide enhanced public access to its property. The new port tourism law is a prime opportunity for the Port to bring new visitors to the Port and community. Increased tourist activity on Port properties is expected to yield benefits to the surrounding community in the form of overnight guests, local shopping and restaurant business.

Chapter Five - Land Use Plan It is very important that the Port develop each property to its highest and best use, taking into account landform, existing uses, access, utilities and other related factors. The following chapter evaluates the highest and best use for each region of the Port. In addition, the Port should evaluate strategies to expand its land base because present development patterns could absorb most of the existing properties in the next 10-20 years. The Port of Kalama has five distinct areas, including:
North Port
East Port
Industrial Park
Central Port
South Port Each of these areas is evaluated below. North Port
The North Port area consists of approximately 200 acres and lies at the northern edge of the existing Port of Kalama properties, across the Kalama River from most of the Port’s properties. The Steelscape finishing plant uses the southern half of this property. The north portion of the property has been leased to Northwest Innovation Works, which is currently in the permitting phase for construction of a methanol production plant. The Port’s North Port Marine Terminal is located on the waterfront, adjacent to the Steelscape and Northwest Innovation Works sites. The North Port Marine Terminal is located downstream of the mouth of the Kalama River, at River Mile 75. The terminal currently has one dock that serves the adjacent Steelscape mill. Steel coils imported by ship are offloaded at the terminal and transferred to the mill. In addition, the terminal is used for other steel products bound for inland destinations. The terminal currently has one berth with a length of 600 feet (900 feet with mooring dolphins), and connected to land via two trestles. Water depth at the terminal is 48 feet below Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).

The highest and best use for the North Port is to expand on the current uses, which are a combination of marine terminal and water-dependent industry. The Port has signed a lease with Northwest Innovation Works for the north portion of the property to construct a methanol production plant. This plant, currently in the permitting phase would represent a huge investment by the tenant, estimated at $1.8 billion. Included in the project are: extension of a natural gas pipeline into the site from east of I-5, construction of the production facility, and construction of a new dock for loading methanol onto ships. A second dock is planned to the north (i.e. downstream) of the existing dock. This dock would be linked to shore via one trestle as well as by a piping system designed to transfer methanol from the adjacent production facility onto tank ships. The North Port has direct rail access to the joint BNSF and UP railroad mainline, and direct road access to Interstate 5 via the adjacent Kalama River Road interchange. East Port
Over the last 10 years, the Port has been working to acquire property along Kalama River Road east of I-5. To date, the Port has acquired nearly 270 acres of property in this area and conducted reconnaissance studies of the property. The Port is in the process of evaluating commercial, light industrial and business park uses for the properties. Utilities and other infrastructure will need to be built to facilitate these uses. Ultimately, the Port expects to construct buildings and sites for lease. The planned Spencer Creek Business Park will support a variety of industrial, professional and commercial business. Business Park planning also includes evaluation of housing needs for the projected Business Park workforce. Cowlitz County has a shortage of residential options for young professionals, such as affordable apartments and condominiums.
