See below where Tiffany claims the plan will include need for setbacks - so now there are no changes to the plan? Susan

Dear Susan

We have recently discussed the enforcement actions ODA is taking with the Coleman Ranch with our counterparts at ODA. We have a meeting with the city of Molalla in mid-February, which Nina is also attending, to discuss the impact of the enforcement on the city’s recycled water plan. While we will continue to encourage the city to develop more options for the application of the recycled water, as the area available on the Coleman Ranch for irrigation with recycled water, we will also be stressing to the City that they must not create the conditions you have observed and documented and what will occur if this activity continues. Mr. Coleman has been asked to exclude his cattle from certain areas by ODA and a set back from the fence or electric wire he uses will be required in the recycled water plan to account for the removal of those areas.

We also recently replied to Crag Law and the city of Molalla on the draft Infiltration and Inflow Plan. The final plan will be delivered to DEQ by mid February. Unlike, Recycled Water or Biosolids plans, I&I Plan are not put on public notice for comment but we will make copies available on our webpage (through the Permit search function--http://www.deq.state.or.us/wqpermitsearch/) and via public records request.
