Portland Harbor Superfund is a contaminated 10 mile stretch of the Willamette River stretching from Kelly Point Park to the Broadway Bridge.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a record of decision about the cleanup of that stretch of the river in January 2017, and cleanup will begin in the next two-three years.

This Multnomah County position is responsible for ensuring that people who eat fish from the river understand the risks and ways to protect themselves, their families, and their communities. As the Health Educator you will work with colleagues in the County, other agencies, community-based organizations, and community members to create culturally-specific communication packages to help people impacted by these fish advisories understand the risks. You will be creating new communication materials in close collaboration with impacted and vulnerable communities. You will sometimes work on restricted sites and must follow all proper protocols.
