Darlene, is this something you can help us with? We need to install about $10k worth of equipment at the WTP, and we are eligible for FEMA reimbursement. I’ve been in touch with Clackamas County EOC and they will support us. Would you be able to create an account for the City and help us through this process?

Andy

Hi Mr. Peters,

Here’ the reply I just got from OEM this morning:

HI Jay, I sent an email to the Region below, haven’t received an answer but I believe this should be eligible work to restore the function. This almost could be considered emergency work, however it sounds more permanent. Realizing they need to do what they need to do, I recommend there be a clear narrative about the purpose (to alleviate immediate threat as a result of the declared event that can be reasonably expected to occur within five years) and be able to associated with a specific threat/burned area.

Based on her optimism, I encourage Molalla to register on the FEMA Public assistance portal https://grantee.fema.gov/ and submit your Request for Public Assistance (RPA) to formally get the ball rolling. That RPA deadline has been extended to Dec 13. OEM and FEMA will work directly with you on assigning a Project Manager. I’m attaching a few supplemental instructions to help with the Portal and a slide deck from their Nov 4 PA applicant briefing.

I’ll keep you apprised if I hear any update from OEM.

Thank you,

Jay Wilson

Hello Mr. Peters,

Thanks for the attached pdf about post-fire Public Assistance for water providers. Please go ahead and establish a log in for the FEMA PA portal:

https://grantee.fema.gov/ and I will contact OEM/FEMA regarding your post-fire system improvement estimates to make sure they are eligible projects, since this will be new equipment installation based on new post-fire conditions vs. repairing or replacing damaged equipment.

Thanks and stay tuned,

Jay

Good Afternoon Mr. Wilson,

The City of Molalla has undergone it’s post wildfire assessment in cooperation with the State’s Oregon Health Authority, and for Molalla it has been recommended that we look in to outside assistance to harden our system. Over 50% of our watershed was burned, and specifically, OHA is recommending that Molalla install equipment to analyze raw water TOC, pH, and Turbidity, to ensure we are capable of taking the proper coordinated action, be able to properly chemical dose our raw water, and know when treatment focus should change from Turbidity to TOC removal, as events occur.

The City has gathered quotes for this equipment as follows. Molalla will need financial assistance through FEMA Public Assistance Program to offset the costs as indicated in the OHA Wildfire Resources for Public Water Systems letter attached. To do so, we are asked to go through our County Emergency Manager. Can you help the us understand what steps we need to take?
