Newspaper Page Text8A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 2015 Two-day razor clam dig cleared to get underway Saturday LONG BEACH, Wash. — Clam diggers have a green light to proceed with a two-day razor clam dig start- ing Saturday at three ocean beaches. The Washington De- partment of Fish and Wildlife approved the digs after ma- rine toxin tests showed the clams on those beaches are safe to eat. All of the digs are scheduled on morning tides. No digging will be allowed on any beach after noon. The upcoming dig is scheduled on the following dates, beaches, and low tides: • Saturday; 6:23 a.m., 0.2 feet; Long Beach, Twin Har- bors, Mocrocks •·Sunday; 6:59 a.m., -0.3 feet; Long Beach, Twin Har- bors, Mocrocks WDFW has also pro- posed additional digs in May, pending the results of future marine toxin tests. Tentative dates for those digs are posted on the department’s website at http://1.usa.gov/1J6o6hE All diggers age 15 or older must have an applicable 2015- ¿VKLQJ OLFHQVH WR KDUYHVW razor clams on any beach. Li- censes, ranging from a three-day razor clam license to an annual FRPELQDWLRQ¿VKLQJOLFHQVHDUH DYDLODEOHDWKWWSV¿VKKXQWGIZ wa.gov and from license ven- dors around the state. During all upcoming digs, state wildlife managers urge clam diggers to avoid dis- turbing snowy plovers and streaked horned larks. Both species nest in the soft, dry sand at Leadbetter Point on the Long Beach Peninsula, and on a section of Twin Har- bors beach. The snowy plover is a small bird with gray wings and a white breast. The lark is a small bird with a pale yel- low breast and brown back. Male larks have a black mask, breast band and “horns.” To protect these birds, the department asks that clam diggers avoid the dunes and areas of the beach with soft, dry sand. When driving to a clam-digging area, diggers should enter the beach only at designated access points and stay on the hard-packed sand near or below the high tide line. Details on how to avoid disturbing nesting birds can be found at http://wdfw.wa.gov/ ¿VKLQJVKHOO¿VKUD]RUFODPV Oyster growers win permit for new anti-shrimp spray in bay Pesticide use revives longstanding objections by environmental advocates By KATIE WILSON EO Media Group WILLAPA BAY, Wash. — A new permit issued by the Wash- ington Department of Ecology ZLOO DOORZ VKHOO¿VK JURZHUV WR use a nicotine-like pesticide to combat a growing native popu- lation of burrowing shrimp that WKUHDWHQYDOXDEOHVKHOO¿VKEHGV in Willapa Bay and Grays Har- bor.

Scientists study- ing the permit throughout its development have said there is little chance bees could come into contact with the pesticide in Willapa Bay and Grays Har- bor. After several years of delib- erations and studies, Ecology has now selected the pesticide as a “preferred, less-toxic alter- native” to other control meth- ods that have been permitted since the 1960s. The pesticide replaces what growers were allowed to use DAMIAN MULINIX — EO Media Group Burrowing shrimp are one of the most plentiful species in Willapa Bay. They churn up the surface of the bay’s mud- flats, making them too soft to support oyster cultivation. A newly authorized pesticide used to control them is reviving longstanding objections to the use of chemicals in the bay. before: Carbaryl. And it came at the request of the Willapa/ Grays Harbor Oyster Growers Association which submit- ted an application to Ecology seeking a water quality permit allowing growers to use Imi- dacloprid. The use of carbaryl was phased out as the result of a consent decree that ended D OHQJWK\ OHJDO ¿JKW EHWZHHQ oyster growers and environ- mental advocates, including the Washington Toxics Coalition and Willapa-based Ad Hoc Co- alition. Pesticide concerns But some Willapa Bay res- idents believe that concern for the industry is pushing aside concern for the people who live there. “There are many, many problems with this permit,” said Fritzi Cohen in a phone inter- view April 21. Cohen owns and operates the Moby Dick Hotel on Willapa Bay and was a lead- er of the Ad Hoc Coalition. She contends that Willapa’s oysters are too contaminated by chem- icals for human consumption. She and others worry about how growers are allowed to spread Imidacloprid and fear it will contaminate not just the oyster beds but surrounding ar- eas, too. The permit will allow for aerial spraying so long as wind speeds don’t exceed 10 miles per hour, for example. “How you can aerial spray and respect the 100-foot buffer that they mention in the permit is beyond my imagination,” she said, adding, “These pesticides … they kill.” She is also seeing fatigue set in among people who have long opposed the various pes- ticide applications allowed on the bay to control everything from burrowing shrimp to aquatic plants. One man, at a public com- ment period earlier in the process to approve the use of Imidacloprid, said he felt that nobody pays attention to the comments they submit. “So I think people weigh whether it’s worth it to public- ly oppose these things,” Cohen said. She added, “the repercus- sions can be, you know, un- friendly.” Agency observations A review of Ecology’s pe- tition for the Imidacloprid per- mit by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2013 out- lined possible risks for aquatic organisms, plants and land and water animals. “There are a number of un- certainties related to the pro- posed use of Imidacloprid on oyster beds in Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor,” that review concluded. The EPA cited lack of studies to show long-term effects on some organisms as well as uncertainty on model- ing approaches and other con- cerns due to an initial lack of data. Under the new permit, the Willapa-Grays Harbor Oyster Growers Association must sub- mit an annual operations plan for Ecology to approve before any use of the pesticide. Grow- ers will be able to use pesticide on up to 1,500 acres of com- mercial tidelands in Willapa Bay and on up to 500 acres in Grays Harbor. It can be applied no more than once a year and only in low-wind conditions — safety measures that Ecology says are designed to minimize the impact to other species. 7KURXJKRXW WKH ¿YH\HDU term of the permit, Ecology will require growers to conduct water and sediment monitoring through a partnership with the Washington State University Long Beach extension research facility.
