On Friday, December 13th and Monday December 16th a contractor for the Water Board will burn seven slash piles remaining from the recent timber sale. A large excavator and industrial fan will be used to control the fire and minimize smoke.
The burn is being conducted during windy wet weather to disperse the smoke and avoid a significant smoke event. This is a small-scale operation.
Any questions can be directed to Matt Whitty, Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board, at (541) 267-3128 ext. 232.
