I don’t buy it. The Manzanita area has a sewer treatment system while much of the coast including Gearhart is septic. Possibly they are testing a few times a year on days when the Nehalem is flooding and extrapolating

This isn’t exactly surprising. Have you seen how many cows are within spitting distance of the coast? The Nehalem is nothing but dairy farms past the park. Don’t like it? Just don’t swallow the water and quit buying dairy.

doesn't shock me considering portland lets their sewer overflow right into the river during rainy times.
Swim in the willamette (wilsonville area) and you'll have a summer long sinus infection from all the fertilizer and cow poo flowing in off the farms.
oregon has a way to go to be a "green" state.

Likely, it was because of me. My parents took me on the approximate 300 mile Oregon coastal trip, where I stopped at every windy spot while my parents were kiting and winging it up.
Sorry all.

So the root cause of water pollution is cows... not people?

the fact that we are flowing raw sewage into our river right downtown in 2023 seems a bit caveman-ish to me. Doesn't have to be 100%, but seems like an easy fix would be an overflow for treatment after the fact kind of thing. I'm no sewage expert, I just think dumping raw sewage in 2023 is taking the easy way out. Even with the fix, it's still ~300 Million gallons of sewage into the river that splits downtown Portland.
it's not just cow poo. fertilizers from the fields are what contribute more polution (IMO). So you'd have to pretty much stop eating.
