Council adopts five-year Miles Creek Basin TMDL implementation letter; asks DEQ for testing clarification
Summary
Mosier approved a five-year TMDL implementation letter for Miles Creek Basin that holds the city responsible for streams inside and outside city limits; council asked DEQ to clarify water-temperature testing responsibilities raised by Councilor Wright.
City Manager Andrea Rogers presented the Miles Creek Basin Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) five-year implementation plan and told the council the update largely follows the previous plan while expanding community outreach.
Rogers said the city is required to update the plan every five years and that the city engineer, Stoner Bell, assisted with the draft. "We are in contact with DEQ and will ensure we will stay in compliance," Rogers said. Councilor Ron Wright pressed for clarity on water-temperature testing within city limits; Rogers said she will clarify the city's testing responsibilities with the Department of Environmental Quality.
Councilor Gary Lindemyer moved to approve a letter to DEQ regarding the plan; Councilor Wright seconded. The motion passed unanimously. The plan assigns monitoring and outreach responsibilities and notes available grant assistance to support implementation.
