The Shirley's ��
As an alternative I can offer a self test instead. We can provide the Shirley's with the kit with instructions to take the sample and bring it into the city. We will send it in to Alexin labs to be tested. We offer this for anyone outside the City as a service, but the cost is typically born on the homeowner.
Thoughts?

BTW – The Shipley’s did install a UV system. We have a sample packs available if they want to test their own water. Bill Fasth just told us that if their UV system is working is working they shouldn’t have a problem. $1,800 for Bill to come out and do a test for someone who is complaining about storm water form Hwy 211 on the south side of Bear Creek when they live on the north side.

Tina – Mr. Shipley (as best we can tell) is talking about the “overland flow” on Jogenson’s property as you can see in the one photo. This water is pure and simple storm water runoff and is occurring during record rainfall no less. Jen is going to have Jason take some strategic phots and we will get those to you.

Hi there
I just spoke with Mr. Shirley and he is concerned about overland flow on the field near his home that has created a channel in the field. If you have someone go to his site to see what he is seeing, please let me know along with the explanation. I ask this because this is now an open complaint in our agency’s complaint system and the site visit by city staff will help determine our response. Thanks!

Tiffany – Jennifer Cline had a long conversation with Mr. Shirley this morning at 9:00 am. He is also complaining about the actual storm runoff from Highway 211 that runs between the Plant and Jorgenson’s hay field. He made a claim with Jennifer that we discharged on December 16th which is untrue. We tested all the wells as people requested last May. We did offer to do the same with this planned discharge. Our lead Wastewater Operator was also going to meet him on site this morning.

Good morning. Can you input the following information into a new complain for me? I am DO for water quality in NW Region and got a call from James Shirley about The City of Molalla’s wastewater treatment plant. James is a nearby resident and says that the treatment center is currently discharging sewage into Bear Creek. He also mentioned that the plant has done this before and has contributed to contaminated well water on his property. Every time this happens the plant is required to post notifications on neighboring properties to offer a test for any contamination. James also called the City of Mollala (Jennifer Klein) and he said that she was very unhelpful. James was very irritated at the situation and would like a call back from DEQ regarding the matter.
Complainant- James Shirley- 503-936-4618
Others Contacted- City of Molalla (Jennifer Klein)
Tiffany- I spoke with Dave Cole about this complaint and he said that you are taking point on the City of Molalla complaints. Do you mind giving him a ring? Feel free to pop by if you need any more info.
Thanks.
