  • New Carissa Recreational Loss Pre-Assessment Report October 2001
    New Carissa Recreational Loss Pre-Assessment Report October 2001 Curtis Carlson, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Damage Assessment Center, Silver Spring, MD, and Robert W. Fujimoto, USDA Forest Service, Portland, OR 1 New Carissa Recreational Loss Pre-Assessment Report October 2001 1. Introduction The objectives of this report are to document the nature and extent of recreation site closures and to document the historical recreation use levels at locations affected and potentially affected by the 1999 New Carissa groundings. This information is based on ephemeral data collected during and after the initial stages of the incident. This report also provides a preliminary estimate of the economic value of recreational losses resulting from this incident, which will help determine if a recreational lost use damage assessment is necessary. No original recreation valuation studies or visitor counts were undertaken. Incident Background On February 4, 1999, the 600-ft. bulk freighter, the New Carissa, ran aground approximately 3.3 miles north of Coos Bay channel entrance in the North Spit, just south of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area (ODNRA). On February 11, the vessel’s hull broke into two sections. The bow section was towed to sea and a towline separation resulted in re-grounding of the bow section of the vessel in Waldport, Oregon on March 3, 1999. See Figure 1 for a map of the grounding sites. The bow section was again towed to sea on March 9, 1999 and scuttled several days later. It is estimated that at least 70,000 gallons of oil were released during this incident.

    2/14/18 TO: U of Oregon Faculty Senate FRO: Ed Whitelaw, U of Oregon, Economics and FION with Samier Waqar, FION RE: U of Oregon’s Proposal for North Campus Conditional Use Permit I. Origin, Purposes, and Conclusion of This Memo A. Origin: In a 1/22/18 email regarding the UO’s “proposed developments north of the railroad tracks and near the river,” George Evans stated that he and other UO faculty believe “the university [has not] adequately [taken] into account the loss of habitat, effects of light pollution, and the amenity values to those who walk, run or bike on the paths that are near these proposed developments.” He doubted the UO had tried “to quantify the lost benefits for current users and future users.” He and I agreed I would: 1) describe how best to quantify comparing the alternatives for handling the area between the tracks and into the river and 2) evaluate how well the UO’s proposal serves the objective of a quantitative comparison of the alternatives. Since George Evans’ email and subsequent exchanges, I added 3), namely, scrutinize the 34,000-student footprint. George had nothing to do with this addition. B. Purposes: 1. In Part II of this memo, I heed the UO Proposal’s implicit request to pay no attention to what’s behind the curtain labeled “34,000-STUDENT FOOTPRINT!” My purpose in Part II then is to evaluate the UO’s alternative-free proposal, taking the 34,000-student footprint as given and enriching the UO’s proposal with what I see as some of the salient, relevant alternatives.

    The New Carissa Shipwreck: Aesthetic Impact on Coastal Recreation Miranda L. Freeman, Economist [email protected] Richard W. Dunford, Vice President [email protected] Triangle Economic Research 2775 Meridian Parkway Durham, NC 27713 Telephone: (919) 544-2244 Fax: (919) 544-3935 Paper prepared for presentation at the American Agricultural Economics Association Annual Meeting, Montreal, Canada, July 27-30, 2003 Copyright 2003 by Miranda L. Freeman and Richard W. Dunford. All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. The New Carissa Shipwreck: Aesthetic Impact on Coastal Recreation Stated-preference (SP) surveys and random utility models (RUMs) have been used in several natural resource damage (NRD) applications to determine the impact of an oil spill or hazardous-substance release on recreation (Bishop et al. 2000; Breffle et al. 1999; Texas General Land Office et al. 2001), but rarely to assess a primarily aesthetic recreational impact. In February of 1999, the New Carissa freighter ran aground on the North Spit, near Coos Bay, Oregon, during a winter storm. In spite of multiple attempts to remove the shipwreck, part of the stern of the New Carissa is still lodged in the surfzone of the North Spit. The objective of our research is to estimate the recreational impact resulting from the presence of the New Carissa shipwreck on the Oregon coast. The ocean along the Oregon coast is usually too cold for swimming, and most ocean- related recreation occurs on the beach or nearby dunes.

The Federal On-Scene Coordinator (FOSC) decided to burn the oil aboard the ship to prevent a catastrophic spill. A burn of this magnitude may generate a great deal of black smoke, a possible concern for public health. The FOSC therefore requested particulate monitoring at nearby population centers. The Special Monitoring of Applied Response Technologies (SMART) was deployed for this purpose.

  • 10 Years After New Carissa, Threat of New Spill Remains by Brian Harrah, the Oregonian February 03, 2009, 10:28PM
    10 years after New Carissa, threat of new spill remains By Brian Harrah, The Oregonian February 03, 2009, 10:28PM Doug Beghtel/The Oregonian/1999 Pushed ashore by a fierce winter storm, the 639-foot cargo ship New Carissa lies grounded north of the Coos Bay port entrance on Feb. 4, 1999. The salvage attempt, oil spill and wreckage removal that followed would play out for nearly 10 years. It was the ship that wouldn't go away, or even die. Despite the efforts of international salvors and, in time, 58 agencies and groups, the grounded New Carissa broke in two after being firebombed, drifted ashore after being lost at sea, spilled 70,000 gallons of fuel oil along Oregon's fragile coast, killed more than 3,000 birds, cost tens of millions to clean up and spawned several lawsuits. The saga began in a wave-torn ocean 10 years ago this morning, and much since was supposed to change. Yet the same maritime calamity could happen today. Worse, it could be a ship loaded with cargo or yet more polluting substances. The New Carissa defied best intentions and derring-do tactics. When it was towed to sea, it broke free of a towline flown in from Holland -- and then headed to Waldport. Towed to sea again, it withstood plastic explosives and 69 rounds from a Navy destroyer before a $1 million torpedo from a nuclear attack submarine sunk it -- and that was just the 440-foot bow section. The stern was still mired in the sand in Coos Bay, where it would stay until this past September and require Florida-based salvors to conduct industrial removal operations at the beach.
