INMATE CREW COLLECTS 4,600 POUNDS OF TRASH FROM WOODS
On Friday, March 18 the Clatsop County Sheriff’s Office Inmate Work Crew completed a two-week garbage cleanup project in the Astoria Basin forest area, locally referred to as the “Pipeline” area.
This project, coordinated by Forest Patrol Deputy Michael Nelson, was carried out with the participation and cooperation of the Oregon Department of Forestry Astoria District.
4,600 pounds of garbage, discarded furniture, and appliances were bagged in 70 33-gallon garbage sacks and collected.
140 inmate labor hours were contributed to the collection and disposal of the garbage, which was transported to the Western Oregon Waste facility in Astoria. Those fees were paid by the Oregon Department of Forestry.
Items found which identify potential suspects of criminal activity including Offensive Littering are being processed. Cases worthy of prosecution have been and will be referred to the Clatsop County District Attorney’s Office.
To report crimes on forestlands in Clatsop County contact Sr. Deputy Michael Nelson at (503) 791-4978.

And you're still what you are but, nevertheless, thank your for the visit.
so where is your big 'media' report about Oregon Pipeline's petition to the Oregon Supreme Court? Oh yeah, I forgot, you only post stuff that's already up on the County's site. hahahahah
So, after six years in office, Sheriff Bergin actually finds a productive use for prisoners. Wow, what a great public administrator. Maybe six years from now he will do something else good.
