Portland Harbor Cleanup Fund
(1)
The Portland Harbor Cleanup Fund is established in the State Treasury, separate and distinct from the General Fund. Interest earned by the Portland Harbor Cleanup Fund must be credited to the fund. The Portland Harbor Cleanup Fund consists of all moneys credited to the fund and may include moneys appropriated, allocated, deposited or transferred to the fund by the Legislative Assembly or otherwise and interest earned on moneys in the fund.(2)
Moneys in the fund are continuously appropriated to the Department of State Lands for costs relating to or arising out of the Portland Harbor Superfund Site.(3)
Nothing in this section or any other law that appropriates, allocates, deposits or transfers moneys to the fund waives or limits the department’s ability to recover, by way of insurance, cost recovery, contribution, or claim or action relating to or arising out of the Portland Harbor Superfund Site, moneys from other parties, including claims for costs incurred by the department. In no event shall anything in this section or any other law that appropriates, allocates, deposits or transfers moneys to the fund be construed as a waiver by the State of Oregon of any form of defense or immunity, whether sovereign immunity, governmental immunity, immunity based on the Eleventh Amendment to the United States Constitution or otherwise.
