Algae health risks to be discussed by SWC The Siuslaw Watershed Council (SWC) will host a presentation by Dr. Tim Otten of Oregon State University on source tracking and public health risk assessment for blue-green algae blooms in lakes and downstream water bodies. This presentation will take place Wednesday, July 29, at 6:30 p.m., in the West Woahink Meeting Hall (Yurt) in Honeyman Park, off Canary Road south of Florence. New scientific tools and data will be described which have expanded our knowledge on the distribution of toxins and health risks beyond the fresh-water lake sources to connected waterways and even ocean estuaries. The subject is of particular interest as the season approaches for early fall warm-water lake blooms. In addition, Paul Burns with the Siuslaw National Forest will provide a progress update for the major habitat restoration project underway on the Fivemile and Bell Creek tributaries of Tahkenitch Lake. The four- mile, 600-acre project will expand and enhance the habi- tat available for the success of Coho salmon which spawn and rear in this tributary, and will also benefit many other wildlife species. The public is invited to all SWC general meetings. For more information, call the SWC at 541-268-3044, email watershed@siuslaw. org, or visit www.siuslaw.org. SWC meetings are made possible by an Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board grant, federal grants and individual and business donors. Line break shuts down water for Siltcoos campers Campers staying in Siuslaw National Forest campgrounds along the Siltcoos recreation corridor, seven miles south of Florence, need to supply their own drinking water because of a break in an underground water line. The break was discovered July 21, prompting the shut- down of flush toilets, showers and water faucets at the follow- ing recreation sites: Driftwood II, Lagoon and Waxmyrtle campgrounds. Portable toilets have been brought into the affected areas, but visitors should supply their own drinking water. Forest Service staff is work- ing to identify the location of the leak and hope to have full services back to the camp- grounds by the end of July.
