Air Quality Alert issued July 20 at 1:14PM PDT by NWS Pendleton OR

1:14 PM — July 21st, 1:15 PM

Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has issued an Air Quality Advisory until 4 PM PDT Wednesday. For the Air Quality Advisory, stagnant air conditions will trap smoke and other air pollutants near the ground where people breathe. Check with your local health or air agency for current restrictions on woodstove use. There are often exceptions for those who use wood exclusively to heat their homes and those with limited income. People can take the following precautions to protect their health: * Follow local burn restrictions to prevent deteriorating air quality. * Avoid strenuous outdoor activity in smoky conditions. * People with heart or lung problems and young children are especially vulnerable. These people should stay indoors while smoke levels are high. * Use certified High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters in indoor heating ventilation, cooling, and air purification systems. * Avoid using wood-burning stoves and other sources of indoor smoke if possible.

About

Bear Valley Work Center is a United States Forest Service administrative facility located in the Malheur National Forest near Seneca, Oregon. This site is not a functional campground and is noted in USFS records as being for future use rather than existing recreation. No camping infrastructure exists at this location. The site is located in a remote area of Grant County, accessed via US 395 north from Seneca, then County Road 63 and Forest Road 6300-982. However, visitors seeking camping opportunities should look elsewhere in Malheur National Forest, where most campgrounds operate on a first-come, first-served basis during the summer season. As this is an administrative work center rather than a public recreation site, campers should not plan to use this location. The Malheur National Forest offers numerous other established campgrounds throughout the forest for public camping use.
