BLM to demolish, replace restrooms at Shotgun Creek near Eugene
The Bureau of Land Management will soon begin construction at the Shotgun Creek Recreation Area as part of BLM's plans to replace restrooms at the site. The park will stay open during construction. Starting in mid-November, BLM will demolish and remove the site's wastewater treatment infrastructure. Crews will demolish the above-ground facilities including a holding basin and a control shed and fill below-ground infrastructure with rocks and cement. The BLM will remove the southern restroom and temporarily close the northern restroom. In 2027, after decommissioning the existing facilities, BLM will install a temporary restroom and begin work on the new vault toilet which will replace the current restroom. The BLM said it needs to decommission the wastewater treatment system because of "continued deterioration." The recreation area will remain open during the construction, and BLM will try to limit construction to the off season. The Shotgun Creek Recreation Area is in Marcola 20 miles northeast of Eugene.
