City of Cannon Beach Moves on Ecola Court Water Quality

Clatsop County Organizing Committee for Surfrider Foundation has been concerned for some time about the lack of notification despite known poor water quality conditions at the Ecola Court Outfall. Yesterday, in a conference call with Cannon Beach City Manager Richard Mays and Director of Public Works Mark See, Charlie Plybon, Oregon Field Coordinator for Surfrider Foundation, was able to express the concerns of citizens and recreational ocean and beach users. The outcomes were positive and the City will be moving forward placing a notification sign at the Ecola Court Outfall in addition to developing a citizen-based City Task Force to work on long term efforts for best management practices for stormwater and improving water quality conditions within the watershed...kudos to the City of Cannon Beach for finally responding to concerned citizens on this issue!
