Weyerhaeuser’s Cottage Grove facility discharges effluent to the Coast Fork Willamette River

Pollution Update 9-3-15

Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) issued a penalty in the amount of $1,875 in July to Brad Boyd (doing business as Brad’s Next Day Dry Cleaning at 3660 Meadow View Drive in Eugene) for failing to submit annual hazardous waste and air quality reports for 2013 and 2014 to DEQ.

DEQ is accepting comments through 5 pm on Thursday, Sept. 10, on its proposed renewal of the Clean Water Act permit for Weyerhaeuser’s Cottage Grove facility, which discharges effluent to the Coast Fork Willamette River. Weyerhaeuser’s current permit expired in February 2009. Visit goo.gl/ott3SM for info on commenting.
