Hi Tiffany,

Susan or someone from Bear Creek Recovery called me about four months ago on November 16, 2017. I spoke with her on the phone for about 10 minutes. She asked about the Intended Use Plan and what "we were doing about Molalla." She expressed concern about how their city council is handling their water quality issues. She also wanted to know if Molalla was considered a distressed community and would be eligible for principal forgiveness.

I explained how the loan program worked, who can apply and how. I also explained that we are not an enforcement program. I also emailed her a link to the distressed community index.

She asked if Molalla had ever had a loan with us and I confirmed that they had one loan with us in the past. She wanted more details and I told her she could fill out a public records request.

She seemed content with our conversation when I got off the phone with her. I haven't heard anything else from her.

Hi Anita and Lee Ann

Have either of you received a call or email from Susan Hansen? She is a resident of the area near Molalla and represents a group called Bear Creek Recovery. Please call me to follow up.

Thanks

Susan,

I manage Evan Haas, the Project Officer for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund for the NW region of DEQ (Clackamas, Multnomah, Washington, Columbia, Clatsop and Tillamook counties). If a public entity in the the NW region of our state is interested in a CWSRF loan, they work with Evan.

I tried to track down who your communication about CWSRF landed with--I know it was not Evan. But if you have question about CWSRF, we can help with those. I am sorry if you left messages from someone else in the program and did not hear back. Please let us know what your questions are and we will follow up.

Hi Tiffany,

I have asked repeatedly - most recently to Ms. Aunan - that a representative from the State Revolving Fund contact me directly. I do not imagine you run that program so I wish to have any person who is working on or has been asked to work on Molalla's funding issues at the State Revolving Fund to contact me directly. I am shocked at how long this request has been ignored.

We are still waiting for you to answer the DEQ related questions about the Molalla MAO and 170,000+ a day leaking lagoons as well as the most recent 3/2/2018 BCR public info request.
