Question: Who is spraying with a helicopter on the hillside off of East Bay Drive  and is it legal?

Answer: Lone Rock Timber Company of Roseburg was spraying herbicide with a helicopter in that area Sept. 3-4.

The herbicide kills brush that competes with Douglas fir seedlings, said forester Tuch Koreiva with the Oregon Department of Forestry.

“They are legal,” he said.

Koreiva said these types of operations are taken very seriously and thoroughly reviewed to keep them completely legal.

When I complained about the spraying on the property behind mine I was told the plane only sprays on company property. When I asked how they could absolutely control the spray and guarantee it wasn't going on my property where I had valuable animals they admitted they couldn't do that-but the company man said he personally found no problem and would stand right in the spray...yeh right...I could reach no solution with anyone...typical-big guy vs little guy...
