Additional Property Attributes

Dann Hall, owner of this parcel, brownfields assessment is supported by the Pend d�Oreille Bay Trail POBT Brownfields Assessment Coalition Coalition which includes DEQ and the Cities of Ponderay, Sandpoint, Kootenai, and Bonner County. This assessment is critical because it will answer the question of what, if any, remaining environmental conditions exist from the Northern Pacific Railroad Ponderay Coal Dock Site located on this parcel and further cultivate purchase-option negotiations between Dann Hall and the Coalition in an effort to secure, safe, public access in the future along the POBT. Dann Hall and the Hall family have allowed public access to this parcel for over 40 years.

Former Use: Dann Hall�s parcel located in POBT Zone 3 GOV LOTS 1, 2, 3, S & E OF NP R/W, PT E2 SEC 11 requires a hazardous substances assessment based on its historical usage. The former Northern Pacific Railroad Ponderay Coal Dock Site located on this parcel was built in 1905 and consisted of a six-story coal tower located over the top of both NPRR mainlines. As many as eight railcars loaded with coal were left at a rail-siding and cabled to the top of a large pile of fill dirt where the coal was dumped onto a metal-grated deck. Workers would then break apart the coal with sledge hammers forcing the coal to through the metal grating into a coal pit where the coal was loaded onto small hopper cars and cabled to the top of the six-story coal tower. In about 1957, NPRR attempted to remove the old coal dock. A firm from Moses Lake was hired to remove the dock. Dynamite was placed at the base of two of the four large legs and the old dock was supposed to topple over and with a few quick strokes of the shovel the tracks would be clear for business. There was a loud explosion and the dock was covered with ash, dust, and smoke. When all this cleared away the building was still over the tracks but had just sat down. NPRR then hired a local man, Lacey Keaton, experienced in explosives and bulldozer operation, to clear the debris off the tracks by using explosive to further demolish the six-story structure and dozer the remaining material over the bank towards Lake Pend Oreille. Ross and Hazel Hall purchased the property in 1967, presently Dann Hall, son of Ross and Hazel, owns the property.
