Hi,

The public comment period for this CWSRF Permanent rulemaking (to update the temporary stimulus rules) closed on 8/24. Three public hearings took place – Medford, Bend and Portland. Only one person attended in total. We received three comments (ACWA, City of Coburg and Clackamas County WES).

Note: DEQ’s response to the City of Coburg is not yet included in this package. The City’s comments were submitted during the public forum at last week’s Commission meeting. That comment and DEQ’s response will be incorporated into the package this next week. No changes were made to the proposed rule language as a result of public comments.

The rulemaking schedule calls for just this one review of the EQC package. I ask that your provide your comments (and your sign off on the attached concurrence review form) by the end of the day Tuesday, 9/8.

You have all reviewed a number of the documents within the package - those that went out for public comment (proposed rules, relationship to federal requirements, the land use evaluation statement, and the FIS –all PDFs). You are welcome to review those documents again but, the staff report, the presiding officer’s report and the response to comments (Word docs) are the new documents in need of your review. The attached Concurrence Review form highlights the perspective I ask that each of you take when reviewing these docs.

Thank you in advance for your time. Call me with any questions.

Larry
