The City of North Bend refuses to allow the members of the CDAO to photograph their Bio-Solis waste sites to create a pictorial record of their Bio-Solid waste sites... Meanwhile the Oregon Health Authority says and I paraphrase, "The consumption of clams taken from the Mixing Zone associated with the sewage outfalls is safe to be eaten."
Refusal to allow the CDAO permission to create a pectoral essay of the Bio-Solis waste dump site is State Sponsored Censorship!!!
The level of fecal coliform bacteria in lower West Coos Bay often rises above threshold threat levels. Oh Yummy!!!
The FDA sponsored threshhold levels of contamination was not developed to protect the public from contaminates but to provide industry a plausible excuse of deniability to escape responsibility for the contamination of our State waters and aquatic invertebrates.
Oregon needs an invertebrate species testing program to test the aquatic organisms that we harvest for consumption. Oregon spent 35 million dollars on a State of the Art testing laboratory.
Eating Oregon's Clams on a regular basis places you colon at risk for cancer... How's your colon?. My Clam Digging Friend Dutch has eaten gaper clams dug from Coos Bay and Yaquina Bay all of his life, except for WWII. He now spends his golden years empting his colectomy bag!!!

The Gulf of Mexico's annual dead zone – a region of water without enough oxygen for fish and other marine life to survive – is the eighth-largest ever recorded, according to scientists.
Sound familiar, the pollution from largely the Mississippi River is too blame. Several times- families from the Mississippi River Delta took my clam digging classed, and they all claimed the Channel catfish and crawdads were too contaminated to eat. They bragged about catching and releasing huge numbers of Channel cats. Umm, do you think the State of Louisiana test the commercially caught catfish and bull frogs and crawdads prior to shipping them to retail markets?
The State of Oregon refuses to test Channel Catfish taken from the Malheur River. I know because the Oregon Health Authority refused to offer an opinion because they do not issue health alerts on contaminated results taken from water or sediment; only samples taken from tissue samples.
Oh!!! I guess they, Oregon State Agencies missed finding the results of a tissue sample study taken from contaminated fish and crabs in Coos Bay. So much for another source study of contamination swept under the sand by Oregon State Agencies. Once again Oregon's State Agencies and elected representatives refuse to test our seafood products for contaminates. One does not look too far into the mirror to see who is getting screwed.

The burning question remains, "Why are polluters not ordered to pay for follow up testing of marine organisms taken from the areas they pollute?"
