Attachments: ODAandDEQBacteriaCommunicationProcess20150914.pdf; Hello DEQ, I am happy Tiffany was able to provide this memo. But, my observation in the case of the two huge EColi counts from Coleman Ranch that flowed via Creamery Creek into Molalla neighborhoods, there was no totally clear cut way to impose blame or to say only one agency should have been in charge of the problem of public notification. The over use of wastewater irrigation on Coleman Ranch caused Creamery Creek to flow out of season washing manure into the creek which would have been dry in that season were it not for over application of wastewater. So both DEQ - which had jurisdiction over the wastewater over application issue and ODA - which has jurisdiction over the manure on the ranch (and it is not a CAFO operation so CAFO did not apply) - should have been involved with joint responsibility in that case. I hope you recognize in the future that it is more important to get the info out to the public than to fight over who is supposed to make the notification. In this case I had to do the notifying.
