Lane County faces billions in damage from a Cascadia earthquake

Being earthquake-ready goes beyond having a few bottles of water and a battery-powered flashlight on hand. Local seismologists say there is a one-in-three chance a magnitude 8.0 or higher Cascadia earthquake will occur in the next 50 years. There is a one-in-10 chance of a magnitude 9.0 or higher earthquake. The Eugene Water & Electric Board , in collaboration with the Eugene Family YMCA and University of Oregon , are promoting emergency readiness, giving presentations and answering questions about what Eugene residents need to know and what they can do now to prepare for an earthquake that could heavily impact the Pacific Northwest's infrastructure. Valerie Sahakian , UO associate professor of earth sciences and lead investigator for Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center (CRESCENT) , said planning now is essential . "When things are really big and scary, reinforcing what you can do helps," Sahakian said. What is the Cascadia subduction zone and how do we know it's active? The Cascadia subduction zone , spanning about 600 miles between Northern California and British Columbia, lies about 100 miles west of the Oregon coast.

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. The popular day-use area includes 6.4 miles of hiking trails, a swimming area, creeks and 23 picnicking units.
