Hello All. If we’re talking about next Thursday, November 27, that is Thanksgiving, a state and federal holiday. I think you mean next Tuesday, November 25th, right?

Hello Jennifer
I’m afraid we’d have to do the walk through of the permit via phone. I can’t find a block of time large enough for us to drive to Molalla and back. So with that in mind, I’d propose 2pm on Tuesday the 25th. Does that work for you?

Thank you for the reply. Nina Deconcini is out currently and I am not seeing much opportunity on her calendar for an afternoon meeting or cal on the 19th or 20th. If 10am on the 19th isn’t possible for a half hour call, then I will need to seek a date and time the following week.
Most immediately, I do hope that you’ll be in touch before the 11th of this month to let us know (David Cole and myself) that the Inflow Removal Plan is complete. Thanks!

Hi Tiffany,
We have been busy wrapping up City projects and along preparing to deliver a large street project for advertisement. As these projects are coming to an end, I am beginning to work on the I & I removal plan along with developing a revised TMDL. The week before last we finished mapping the entire system. I am excited to begin moving forward with the next step of identifying critical areas needing repairs or replacement.
As for a meeting time, November the 19th or 20th in the afternoon work best for our team schedule. Please confirm what if this will work for you.
Regards,
Jenn Cline

Hello Jennifer
I wanted to remind you of the due date for the Inflow Removal Plan as described in the city’s NPDES permit. I would appreciate an update on this next week.
I would still like to have a meeting with you and our permit writer, David Cole, to walk through the permit. Nina Deconcini, our regional administrator would also like to attend. David and I could go out your office and bring Nina in by phone. Would 10am on Wednesday, November 19th work for you?
Thanks!

Hello Susan
Regarding the Inflow Removal Plan, the City has a 180 days from the issuance of their permit to create this plan. The permit was issued 5/12/2014 and so the city has to November 11, 2014 to provide the plan.
I spoke on the phone with Jennifer Cline, the new public works director, on October 8th (we could not work out a September 30th meeting) and one of the items we discussed was the progress on creating this plan. The city is working on this but was not yet ready to share a draft.
As of right now, no compliance dates related to Infiltration and Inflow have been missed. I have attached the e-mail that you quoted from, Susan, and a copy of the permit for reference.

Dear Tiffany,
In reviewing email exchanges we had since early Sept. I have a couple of questions.
First, I asked for EPA contacts who oversee the work of Oregon DEQ in relation to wastewater programs for cities like Molalla. You have not provided that info.
Second, you indicated you would be following up with Molalla about the progress of their I&I: "During the Spring and Summer of 2014, I had meetings with the city where they stated that a more comprehensive I& I study to determine the overall status of the collection system and associated infrastructure would be created. Section 1 of Schedule D in the NPDES permit issued to Molalla sets a clear requirement that within 180 days of issuing the permit, the city would submit for approval an Inflow Removal Plan. This plan then becomes the benchmark by which annual progress will be measured. I will be following up with the city on Tuesday, September 30th, about the progress on this plan."
Did you follow up on Sept 30 and what is the progress?
Thanks,
Susan Hansen
