- Knife River Corp. proposes to grade and replant an eastern portion of the Teevin & Fischer Quarry, seen on the left, as a steeply forested hillside once adjacent mining is finished.
Shawn Teevin, the owner of Teevin Bros. Land and Timber Inc., said the sale of the Teevin & Fischer Quarry he co-owned with Scappoose contractor Thomas Fischer to Knife River Corp. went smoothly.
“They came and approached us,” he said of Knife River’s offer. “They’re on a big growth mode.”
“We were more concerned about our employees being taken care of, and they’ve done a good job.”
Teevin put the value of the sale of the Seaside quarry at nearly $10 million, including land, equipment and inventory. County records recorded the sale of the property at slightly more than $5 million. He and Fischer purchased the quarry in 2006 for $1.6 million, according to county records.
