Georgia-Pacific to temporarily close Olalla Reservoir as water levels decline
Georgia-Pacific will temporarily close Olalla Reservoir to public access beginning Tuesday, Oct. 6, because declining water levels have exposed steep shoreline slopes that may pose safety risks to visitors. The entrance to the company-owned reservoir northeast of Toledo will be secured, and closure signs will be posted. Georgia-Pacific security contractors will monitor the property during the closure. For everyone’s safety, members of the public are not allowed to enter the site while the closure is in effect. Unauthorized entry is considered trespassing and may be reported to law enforcement. Georgia-Pacific will continue to assess site conditions and will reopen the reservoir to public access when the company determines it is appropriate to do so. Olalla Reservoir supplies water for operations at Georgia-Pacific’s Toledo mill. The company also permits daytime public recreation at the site when conditions allow. When the reservoir is open, visitors must follow all posted rules, including prohibitions on hunting, littering and gas- powered boat motors.

After More Than 170 Years, Siletz Tribe To Reclaim Ceded Land
The largest Dungeness crab ever caught in Oregon was rumored to be from a stretch of coastal land south of Yachats back around the 1930s, according to historian and tribal council member Robert Kentta. Like many members of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (CTSI), Kentta hopes the notoriety for a record-breaking crab is as much fame and attention as the Rocky Shores get as the tribe prepares to become stewards of the land once again.
