Dear Tiffany and Nina,
Since you are working on setbacks for the Molalla recycled water discharge, please again note the runoff prone area I complained about to you at the end of last summer. There is a seasonal waterway that drains off the north side of Coleman Ranch in the area to the north of their ranch houses and buildings (Find a link to a map below that shows the area in question). The landform slopes down from the east to the west. At the end of last summer a great deal of recycled water was discharged in this area - mostly to the east end but also in the west end. Last summer I furnished photos of the waterway dry one day and running the next in the hot summer because so much recycled water was discharged over many days. You should have that complaint in your files along with the photos. Today I took the attached photo looking east from highway 211 so you can see how this channel looks in wet season.
Please call the attention of Molalla to this area, since it has been my observation in the last two summers that Molalla defaults to this area to dump wastewater in the last summer. I only noticed the run off last summer. I hope I don't see runoff there this summer. The waterway feeds a prominent wetland on the west side of highway 211 and continues on to feed a pond. None of those off site places should be hosting Molalla's recycled water runoff. As with much of Coleman this area is a wetland, with reed grass and hydric soils so it won't be able to handle much irrigation without runoff into this channel.
