Port of Vancouver sues Pacific Coast Shredding

Port claims leased property wasn’t restored to original condition.

The Port of Vancouver (Washington) has filed a lawsuit against one of its tenants, Pacific Coast Shredding, for nearly $388,000, claiming it violated a lease agreement.

According to an article by The Columbian, the Port of Vancouver claims that Pacific Coast Shredding, which leased 5 acres of land at the port, failed to return 0.3 acres of the leased property to the same condition it was in when the company first leased it. The port also claims it had to pay for removal and disposal of contaminated material on the parcel.

Now the port says it is seeking reimbursement for cleanup costs, plus about nine months of hold-over rent, fees that it incurred with interest.
