BIOHAZARD WARNING FOR CLATSKANIE RIVER

NO SWIMMING

BOAT RAMPS CLOSED

 

The Clatskanie Sewer Plant has experienced a failure of its clarifier which is used to contain effluent during the treatment process.  As a result of the failure, the plant is unable to properly treat the water causing the E.coli levels being discharged into the Clatskanie River to be above permitted levels.  Until the issue is resolved, the city in cooperation with the County, has closed the boat ramps at the Beaver Boat ramp site and at the Clatskanie City Park.  The city encourages people to stay out of the river and not conduct any water activities until the repairs have been completed which is anticipated to be early next week (January 24 -26) .  The city recommends no water activities on the Clatskanie River near the plant.  DEQ is aware of the situation and has been advising the City.  We will let the public know when the E.coli levels have returned to normal once the repair to the plant has been completed.

Clatskanie has been described as a “Norman Rockwell” picturesque small city nestled in green hills and valleys on the coastal range in northwest Oregon.  Our population within the city limits is approximately 1,800, but we consider the community outside those limits to be a valuable asset as well.

 

Clatskanie is a strong, independent community with small town values and support.  Some good examples of this strength are:

·       In the early 1960's, the community recognized a need for a swimming pool.  There had been four youths taken in tragic drownings that summer in the rivers.  This community pulled together, raised funds, and through volunteer efforts built a safe and well maintained community pool.

·         Several years ago, the community decided it needed a new library.  Again with local donations and volunteer labor a wonderful library is available.


 

Clatskanie sponsors a wonderful 4th of July Heritages Days celebration that dates back over 100 years.  


Clatskanie also has over 70 miles of wonderful calm water in the Clatskanie River and adjacent sloughs for kayaking.  Our city park has a walking trail and is a jewel in the center of our city.

 

These are just a few examples of the strength, purpose and desirability of our community.  Please visit us if you are in the vicinity.  We would love to meet you.
