The demolition of the Cape Meares 100,000 gallon, Cor-Ten reservoir began on Monday, 9/23/14, when the crew moved in to the location of the tank and, by the end of the day, completely removed the steel top of the reservoir. On Tuesday, 9/24/14, the sides of the reservoir came down in sheets 6 feet wide by 12 foot in length. By the end of the day the tank demolition project was one-third complete. With all the oxy/acetylene torch cutting going on, the damp weather has been beneficial in creating a safe environment for the project.

The Cape Meares Community Association is officially recognized as a Non-Profit Organization with a 501(c)(3) standing. This designation provides those who donate monetary gifts, legacies, land and equipment to CMCA with the opportunity to deduct the value from their income tax*. It allows CMCA to apply for grants, and provides a way to function within the law, and enables the organization to meet its obligations to the county, to qualify for insurance, and to seek assistance in a broader variety of ways, should the need arise.
