Water Emergency Response Spill Drill at Finn Rock Landing on October 16th.

The Finn Rock Boat Landing will temporarily close on Wednesday, October 16th, for an inter-agency emergency response spill drill. These drills help prepare personnel to respond rapidly to potential threats to water quality in the case of a contamination spill. During the drill, partners will work to deploy a solid containment boom across the river.

Boaters are advised to choose alternate put-in and take-off routes during the drill. To learn more about the McKenzie Watershed Emergency Response System, visit EWEB’s Information page by clicking here.
