Regarding the first question about the wastewater being fully treated, This time of year, when the wastewater is land applied, the wastewater is no de-chlorinated in order to keep bacteria other organisms from re-growing in the wastewater as it travels to the irrigation ste. Chlorine in wastewater dissipates in the air when the wastewater is land applied or binds with soil particles. The amount of chlorine in wastewater that is land applied is higher than the level allowed in wastewater that is discharged back to surface water.

Since early September, the communication about the MAO has been via email or phone with some phone notes. The city is asking to meet with us to present the findings of a consultant who is tasked with determining if the wastewater treatment plant can be improved or needs to be completely replaced. They want our Director to attend that meeting so much of the conversation is about scheduling.

Got all 12, thanks! The city said on their public notice that it was fully treated wastewater but if it has chlorine in it is was not fully treated, correct, per the rules on discharge into waters of the state?

 

Would you please let me know what kind of documents have been generated about the MAO since early Sept - letters, emails, etc? Has DEQ formally responded to the Ring Bender response letter dated the end of August that outlined all kinds of problems and excuses about length of time it will take for Molalla to stop violating? Has it written anything back to Molalla regarding the conference call that just was held about all these issues?

We have not yet asked any follow up questions but we expect based on the 5 day report that they will tell us more about the cause of the alarm system failure.
