The Daily Astorian
The state Department
of Environmental Quality
has issued a $6,000 penalty
to the estate of late hote-
lier and developer Robert
“Jake” Jacob over an oil
spill near the Cannery Pier
Hotel.
A year ago, workers
at the hotel noticed an oil
sheen on the Columbia
River, which at one point
spanned 5 miles downriver.
The Coast Guard narrowed
the source of the sheen to
an underground tank from a
former seafood cannery on
property owned by Jacob.
The Coast Guard estimated

High surf warning issued for the North Coast
Waves expected to
be near 25 feet
The Daily Astorian
A high surf warning is in
effect from 10 a.m. Thurs-
day to 10 a.m. Friday.
Waves are expected
to be near 25 feet along
North Coast and southwest
Washington state beaches,
with breaker heights up to
30 feet. Peak wave heights
are expected to hap-
pen late Thursday after-
noon into the evening. Bar
crossings and the surf zone
will be very hazardous
due to strong currents and
breaking waves, according
to the National Weather
Service.
These powerful waves
can sweep people off jet-
ties, move large beach
debris, produce rip currents
and cause minor beach
erosion.

The Port of Astoria has
dropped its lawsuit against
