Commentary

Thank you for submitting the report. Unfortunately nutria are common throughout the Corvallis-Albany area, so no further action is needed at this time.

The nutria page on the Center for Lakes and Reservoirs website at http://www.clr.pdx.edu/projects/ans/nutria.php contains more information on nutria impacts if you are interested. My contact information can also be found on this site if you have questions or would like further information.

Thanks again for your efforts!
