Subject: molalla wwtp discharge

Dave,

As of this morning, 10/10, our lagoon levels are at 11’ and 12.5’. Our incoming influent flow from yesterday was 1.8 mgd. Our weekend rainfall at the WWTP was 2.75”. Coleman Ranch cannot be irrigated at this point in time. With 21 days left in this month, the city’s lagoons will not be able to sustain a plant shutdown and hold incoming flows. I am asking the DEQ for approval to commence an early discharge to the Molalla River in order to prevent structural damage to our levees and for our lagoon levels to reach critical levels that will cause issues in the coming winter months. As of 0500 this morning, the Molalla River reading was 1026 cfs. Our lagoon temperatures are below the required 18 degree C. Please respond to this request at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time.

Respectfully,

Jason Clifford
