Well sometime in the near future rising sea levels will be flooding large areas of the Oregon Coast.The State of Oregon does not have a clue on what to do when their coastal cities and communities are underwater. So we choose to appeal to the Lincoln City Councilors. Lincoln City has a history of being the most proactive city along the Oregon Coast when it comes to managing the environment of the areas natural resources.
We put our best foot forward while addressing the Lincoln City Council. Our views were received with mixed reviews. They like the solar powered public information signs while outright rejecting any suggestion of upgrading the class B sewage pant to a class A facility. They also were not impressed with the suggestion of annexing the communities south of Cutler City. We were not there to engage the City Fathers in a debate over the issues. We accomplished our objective of initiating the conversation of managing local resources to survive the challenge of rising sea levels.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MANAGING DEVILS LAKE AND SILETZ BAY BY THE CLAM DIGGERS ASSOCIAITON OF OREGON.
1. Expand the City limits of Lincoln City by annexing all of the Lincoln County south of Cutler City through the community Gleneden Beach and the Siletz Airport. The objective of the annexation is to facilitate the management goals of Siletz Bay to deal with the rising sea levels due to global warming.
2. Advocate for solar powered public information signs posted at the D River Wayside and other coastal location to advise visitors of dangerous local conditions in addition imminent danger that pose a threat to their safety and the safety of others. The signs are multi-functional and provide with a level of safety they do not have now.
3. Formulate management objectives to deal with the saltwater intrusion into Devils Lake. Without intervention Devils may or may not become a tidal basin rather freshwater lake. Will the rising level of the Devils Lake tidal basin flood the home and roadways associated with now freshwater lake, Devils Lake?
4. Upgrade the classification of the Lincoln City class B sewage facility to a class A sewage facility to eliminate Bio-Sludge and the discharge of partially processed sewage effluent into Siletz Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The State of Oregon refuses to acknowledge the chronic contamination of fire retardants associated with spreading Bio-Sludge onto the pastures along our rivers and bays.
5. At present there are no boat launches in Siletz Bay, we recommend that the Lincoln City develop a boat launch facility in Siletz Bay.
