Per the attached reports, it is clear that Creamery Creek at Mathias Road is still the E.coli hot spot. As was noted last summer, Creamery Creek leaves the Coleman Ranch and flows as an open channel through Molalla neighborhoods. We hope your work will now include not only mitigation of the E.coli source but notification to the citizens of Molalla that there may be a problem with Creamery Creek in the city. DEQ has been flagged as the agency responsible for Creamery Creek water quality once it leaves Coleman Ranch. To date, there has been no public notification of this problem. We also hope DEQ and ODA look closely at the issue of wastewater discharge on manure filled fields. Setbacks from the streams have been ignored for years and DEQ has been provided with ample evidence of Creamery Creek and Bear Creek receiving recycled wastewater. With discharge season coming in a few months, this problem of overspray and/or recharging of the creeks needs to be addressed. Sincerely, Susan Hansen Bear Creek Recovery -----Original Message----- From: rmcnaughtan@oda.state.or.us Sent: Wed, 14 Jan 2015 09:32:57 -0800 To: foxglovefarm@inbox.com Subject: Coleman Ranch Public Records Request Below is the response regarding your public records request dated January 9, 2015.
