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.

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.
