I have made repeated requests that this request be honored and I have gotten nothing back but excuses from DEQ. I wish now to file a formal complaint against DEQ for not providing this information in a timely manner. I have many exchanges I can share asking DEQ when Bear Creek Recovery would get the information and DEQ has been non-responsive regarding a date certain for the information. This is now well beyond the suggested 10 working days. Bear Creek Recovery has filed numerous public records request to DEQ over the past several years and it is our view that since spring of 2017 the requests are increasingly delayed. Thanks for help on this matter, Susan Hansen Board of Bear Creek Recovery, a non-profit dedicated to protecting the environment -----Original Message----- From: dana.huddleston@state.or.us Sent: Fri, 20 Oct 2017 19:58:51 +0000 Subject: RE: Automatic reply: Sept 27 public records request: prrHansen5815 Dear Ms. Hansen, Attached is your original request which DEQ received on September 27.

There is no excuse for this, since it has been acknowledged by Ms. Yelton-Bram and we did everything asked in a timely manner on this request. It is our observation that DEQ may be stalling so that the public will not be privy to the ongoing problems between DEQ and the City of Molalla. Please note the below "response".
