New Water Quality Regulations Will Finish Off Klamath Agriculture

I'm not speculating, I'm reporting. The EPA required the Cal Water Quality Control Board to supply two precedents for 303(d) enforcement, similar to the settlement requirements of the NRDC suits in other states pursuant to the consent decree. Santa Cruz was one, Santa Barbara was the other.

I have the original data cited by the County of Santa Cruz as justification for nitrate impairment. They didn't even know how to get it out of their own computer. It's bogus; the nitrate levels pass drinking water standards and there is no eutrophication.

Both the NRDC suits and the CWAP were illegal. IMHO the industry groups that fought them didn't know how to go about it. EPA may have jurisdiction under the statute, but that doesn't mean that the terms are enforceable. Why else spend thirty years trying to figure out how to enforce 303(d) and instead pass and administer 305 and 319? They failed to come up with rational means to assign cause to a specific sources, and just went about enforcing 303(d) on nonpoint sources anyway.

Trouble is, the game's going to turn into something else that they haven't intended.

Have to agree. I believe that the environuts have not actually dealt with folks who may react like a cornered wolverine.

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.

Sorry! I had a lot of trouble getting that to post, so deleted some of the header information.

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

from Oregon State DEQ news release site

From Oregon Blue Book list of news releases

bend.com, Bend Oregon web site

from www.heraldandnews.com , Klamath Falls, Oregon-- section: The Water Journal

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.
