Dear DEQ,

In anticipation a DEQ request for defense of Bear Creek fee waiver request for our request dated July 13, 2017, BCR is furnishing you with the attached documents, updated to reflect the attendance of BCR President Harlan and Vice President Susan Hansen at the EQC public comment in Portland Oregon on July 12. The attached speech was entered into the record of the EQC by Hansen and reflects the use of years of public information obtained by BCR. Informing the EQC of how the DEQ staff functions in relation to wastewater permit violations and the ability or inability of DEQ staff to effectively foster improvements in violating cities certainly meets the "in the public good" standard.

Susan Hansen
