It’s one of the houses circled in Purple. 131mg/L at 2nd @ Lola, but only 60.8mg/L at 2nd@Eckard. I’m trying to see if Cody can do more today.

I sampled from manhole TLA-22 which is located off of Lola and 2nd. I also sampled from manhole TLA-21 which is located off of 2nd and Echerd. TLA-22 = 131.0 @0730 TLA-21 = 60.8 @0735 Thanks, Cody From: Jamie Joost <jjoost@cityofmolalla.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 3, 2019 12:03 PM To: Cody Foxworthy <cfoxworthy@cityofmolalla.com> Subject: FW: Ammonia sampling From: Andy Peters <apeters@cityofmolalla.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 3, 2019 10:00 AM To: Jamie Joost <jjoost@cityofmolalla.com> Subject: RE: Ammonia sampling Jamie, there are only a few places this slug could be coming from. The area is circled below. It could also be the laundrymat. I would like you to make it top priority to find it now! Someone in this area is discharging a hot slug of ammonia almost continuously. Let’s find it! What can I do to help? If I need to come in the field with you I can.

Do they have a lateral? You can probably check the GIS map, link on the MolallaOps page. You could also test Upstream and Downstream of that business. Another idea is to pull a sample out of the creek that runs underground out there (under Fenton, Grange) and see if the ambient groundwater being taken on by I/I has ammonia. I can't imagine it does, but it would be another great scientific observation. That stuff make logic easy later on in analysis.

Based on your results today, I'm going to guess it's the Laundry Mat East of Grange Street that is causing this ammonia. But technically the troubleshooting is pointing to anywhere in the TL_A basin.
