2022 Projects
Each year the Port Commission adopts a capital improvement budget that supports the Port of Camas-Washougal’s mission to drive economic development, create jobs, promote commerce and provide recreational opportunities. These capital improvements include a wide range of projects, to include wetland mitigation and restoration, building construction, and continuing management of all port owned properties and facilities.

The current concrete platform will be renovated and two new will be added. Each will feature benches for those who wish to rest and enjoy views of the marina and Columbia River.
The overhead electrical lines along the breakwater dock will be removed and relocated through conduit mounted to the dock and 8 additional electrical pedestals will be installed. Electrical capacity will be increased and the new electrical system will incorporate current leakage detection. A fire department connection will be installed for additional fire safety.
Fuel Dock Replacement Construction
Fuel Dock Replacement Construction
The renovated fuel dock will be constructed of a HDPE (high density polyethylene) float system with a steel frame structure. This float system uses polystyrene encased in long HDPE tubes with a rigid steel frame to provide structural integrity. With the exception of around the fuel pumps, the walking surface of the new dock will be constructed of fiberglass grating to meet the light transmission requirements for migratory fish. The area around the fuel pumps will be made up of concrete to mitigate spills during fuel delivery. The dock will be designed to incorporate a utility tray serving the fuel pumps and pump-a-head. The fuel pay terminal covering will also be renovated. Construction will begin on April 13th and is is scheduled to reopen in time for Memorial Day weekend.
