The Port argued two reasons for quashing: Dr. Logan did not appear on any party's final witness list as required by the Board's pre-hearing order, and the accompanying notice under Civil Rule 43(f) was improper because Dr. Logan was neither a party nor a managing agent of the Port of Seattle.

He also criticizes the Port of Seattle's soil sampling approach as arbitrary and unscientific, asserting it fails to meet accepted environmental engineering standards for contaminant testing.
