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.

Another week, another season-ending injury for an Oregon Ducks star.
