Press Release! Who was it released to? No one here in Klamath Falls knew anything about it until it was posted here and someone sent it to me! This is a critical issue to us. It really could shut us down....and it's BS. They're not taking into account our geothermal activity and volcanic debris that makes up the nutrients and water temperatures along these routes. They're ignoring reality...duh..and we're surprised!

If ANYONE can give me any real data or links or anything to fight this thing, please do so. We are contacting everyone we can to be at this meeting tonight! Again, it wasn't even in our newspaper!...not that we could find, anyway.

Here are some places you can find the release online. I can't seem to find it in a local newspaper.

From Oregon Blue Book list of news releases

bend.com, Bend Oregon web site

Lots of Dead links on this issue. Went to an Oregon University site, where the links for the Limits documents were and they were also dead.

Oregon State DEQ Notices

1Public notices are produced by many people in DEQ offices throughout the state. These notices are routinely sent to people who have requested to be on mailing lists in order to be notified of opportunities for public comment on specific subjects. DEQ's water quality program will make every effort to ensure that most of the water quality public notices are posted on this site, however, because of the number of notices and the fact that they are produced by many people we can not guarantee that all notices will be posted. If you want to make sure that you receive information on public comment opportunities please contact the water quality program at 503-229-5279. People with hearing impairments can call DEQ's TTY at 503-229-6993.

To view the notices you need Adobe Acrobat Reader.
