King Salvage is a former automobile salvage yard. Poor housekeeping practices and operations has lead to the site containing a haphazard collection of automobile scraps and visible sheens of oil or fuel on the soil. There are in the order of 20 tire piles with an estimate of a 1000 tires, abandoned vehicles, and assorted other discarded items. However, the concern is with oil sheen on soil that is impacting streams as well as about 50 drums of reported used engine oil improperly stored in various drums and containers of questionable integrity that are threatening streams. The site is located in a hollow that is wet, contains a wetland area, and is braided with streams, that flow off the property eventually connecting with Beaver Creek, which connects with Yaquina River.
