Jenn,
We have been coordinating with DEQ to renew the 1200-C permit. It appears that DEQ is requiring a fee of $1932 to renew the permit, which is a bit of a surprise since they issued the original permit 19 days before it expired (see attached for original permit). In looking at the original permit it was not clear to us that a fee would be required. I will give you a call this afternoon to discuss.
Thanks!

Hi Ian,
This is a follow-up to my phone message. Thank you for letting us know about the permit status. It’s unfortunate news for the project, but the positive news is that construction has not yet begun. The City of Molalla does have a contractor on board, and we will likely prepare the new permit application with the contractor as applicant.
As I mentioned in my phone message we have a couple of questions:
1. As circumstances expired the original permit only 19 days after issuance, would DEQ consider waiving the application fee for the new application? The original fee of $1725.00 paid by the City of Molalla for 19 days of coverage is a lot for a relatively small community to bear. Or, maybe pay the $207.00 difference between last year’s and this year’s application fee?
2. What is the DEQ address to re-submit the 1200-C application?
Thank you,

Subject: 1200-C Renewal: Molalla Avenue Improvements
Randal,
I just received your application for renewal of 1200-C permit coverage for the Molalla Avenue Improvements project. Unfortunately, the renewal period ended last year and this permit registration expired November 30, 2015. Currently, there is no active 1200-C permit registration for this project. If this project is active it is currently operating without 1200-C permit coverage, which would be a violation of Oregon environmental law. In order to regain permit coverage you will need to submit a new application, including the application form, the land use compatibility statement and any attached findings, erosion and sediment control plans, and the fee of $1932.
Thank you,
Ian Garner
