Andy,
I didn’t see any removal volume in the Emergency Application. We have a General Authorization for Certain Minimal Disturbance Activities Within ESH that allows for up to 4 cubic yards at an individual site and 10 cubic yards total. Would your proposal fit under these volume thresholds? This can fit under the Emergency but the GA doesn’t take long either.
You wrote that in the past you didn’t need a permit. Do you remember why that’s the case? I don’t see that there’s a pathway for permit exemption on this type of activity.
Thank you,

Subject: Intake Structure Clearing
Good Afternoon Mr. DeBlasi,
The City of Molalla usually clears off its Drinking Water Intake structure during in water work periods, and this activity hasn’t required a permit in the past. But this year with very low flows in the river we are facing the need to put a Mini Backhoe out there early to protect the water supply. Our crews have moved as much rock as possible by hand, but we need more. I’ve attached the Emergency Permit Application, along with a signed copy, and maps and photos of the site to make it clear what work is to be done. We hope to do this work next Tuesday/Wednesday.
Could you please confirm receipt of this email?
Respectfully,
Andy Peters
