Coos Bay users should be wary of clamming in the bay near Empire

The city of Coos Bay’s wastewater treatment plant in Empire exceeded its permitted fecal coliform limits Tuesday

The beach that would be most likely affected is accessible from the parking lot on the west end of Fulton Street near the entrance to the plant.  Posted signs will remain in place until bacteria results are within permitted limits.   For any questions contact CH2M Hill OMI at 267-3966.
