The Department of State Lands (DSL) is soliciting for the removal of a floating structure (known as the Ark Twain) and approx. 5 boats located on the Columba River.

Background:

The ‘Ark Twain’ floating structure has been sitting in on the Columbia River South Channel near the 13000 Block of NE Marine Dr. for several years. This structure has never had a lease with the Oregon Department of State Lands for the structure to be at the location. The owner of the structure has been issued a trespass notice for the structure along with a seizure notice. An ejectment order was filed in court a has received that order and judgement.

The floating structure has occupants and will need assistant by local law enforcement. DSL will work with law to remove occupants while the contract will need to be on standby and remove the structure in coordination with DSL and law enforcement.

DSL will file for a Writ of Assistance for Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office to assist with the removal of individuals living on the structure. MCSO will only be able to guarantee the occupants will not be present for a short amount of time.
