On September 9, the Rockaway City Council denied approval of the application for the development proposed in the Nedonna wetlands! This is a critical step forward in protecting coastal wetlands and in safeguarding the city’s backup drinking water aquifer.
This ecologically rich Special Area wetland is a critical habitat that filters pollution, prevents flooding, and supports wildlife. An intact ecological system is crucial to our community’s health and wellbeing.
Now we need your voice to make the protection permanent. Please attend the upcoming Community Meeting on September 30 at 6-7pm.

Rockaway Beach
ALL ARE WELCOME!
WHY IT MATTERS:
*The proposed development sets on ecologically rich Special Area wetlands — critical habitat that filters pollution, prevents flooding, and supports native fish.
**The land overlays Rockaway Beach’s backup drinking water aquifer — development here potentially puts the safety of the City’s drinking water supply at risk.
***This land should never have been approved for residential development in the first place. Local zoning and state law clearly protect these wetlands — and this LUBA decision confirms it.
NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in drinking water sources regardless of who owns the land, and we want an end to pesticide applications near where people live, work and recreate. Safe drinking water and clean air are part of the public trust that all people are entitled to have.
