A2 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2018 Oregon timber at risk from harmful insect Sewer line breaks under Necanicum River in Seaside Associated Press EUGENE — Oregon offi cials say a non-native insect that entered the state this fall on Christmas trees harvested in North Carolina has the potential to harm the state’s timber economy. Wyatt Williams, of the Oregon Department of For- Residents urged to stay away By BRENNA VISSER The Daily Astorian SEASIDE — Residents were asked to stay off the Necanicum River until fur- ther notice due to possible contamination from a bro- ken sewer line near Ave- nue U. The P ublic W orks D epartment was notifi ed about a leak in the sewer line that runs underneath the river Thursday after- noon by the owner Bell Buoy of Seaside, said Tony Biamont, the city’s w aste- water t reatment p lant f ore- man, and shut off any fl ow through the pipes on Thurs- day night. City Manager Mark Winstanley said the impacts to water quality are expected to be minimal, and warnings to keep away from the river are mostly a precaution. Warrenton May 7, 1981 — Dec. 16, 2018 Brenna Visser/The Daily Astorian Residents have been urged to avoid the Necanicum River in Seaside after a sewage leak. “The bigger issue we have when sewer lines break is water gets into them rather than sewer gets out of them. The volume they carry in them is a lot less than the size of the line ... water is going to pour into the line,” Winstan- ley said. “We can’t prom- ise that sewage can’t come out ... so we have to post that we have the potential TUESDAY to have sewage contamina- tion come into the river, but the odds are much greater that we have water pump- ing into our sewer line.” Public crews will con- struct a temporary sewer line to run across and above the river until infrastructure below can be addressed, which Winstanley estimates could take up to the end of next week to complete.
