NEWS RELEASE
DEQ releases first toxics summary for the Umpqua River Basin
The agency adding four sites to its trend network for monitoring
Date: April 1, 2021
Portland, Ore. – The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality today announced the release of a report detailing toxics in the Umpqua Basin.
The Umpqua Basin Toxics Summary is the first comprehensive report about toxics sampling across waters leading into the Umpqua River, as well as the river itself. The agency collected 45 water samples at 15 locations; 14 sediment samples at 14 locations; and six fish tissue samples at two locations. DEQ scientists tested the samples, collected in 2015, for 484 toxics. Overall, 96% of the compounds included in the analysis were detected at levels safe for aquatic life, wildlife and human health.
It is safe to fish, boat and otherwise recreate in the Umpqua River Basin, according to the findings in the report. Toxics in the sample group include current-use pesticides, legacy pesticides, flame retardants, combustion byproducts, metals and industrial chemicals.
The study offered a snapshot of toxics in the Umpqua River Basin and, going forward, DEQ will collect trend data. Staff selected four monitoring sites that will become part of the Water Quality Toxics Monitoring program’s trend network. The sites are Calapooya Creek at Umpqua, Deer Creek at Fowler Bridge, the South Umpqua above the river’s mouth and the Umpqua River 21 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. DEQ will collect samples at the four locations three times per year.
This report is the latest to come from DEQ’s Water Quality Toxics Monitoring Program. Its goals are to gather information on chemicals of concern, identify potential sources, make the information available to the public, and work with internal and external partners to reduce pollutant concentrations.
About the DEQ by the DEQ. The following Statement listed below is not Truthful. In my opinion they are liars, The 2 million gallon sewage spill into Sileta Bay and the broken sewage line on the South Umpqua River that emptied hundreds of thousands of raw sewage are two great examples of Truth Bending. It would be great if the DEQ public face was in fact truthful. The truth is aquatic environment of our State Waters are being destroyed By us. In fact considering the Columbia, Willamette, Snake, Owyhee and most of Oregon's other river basins have crossed the tipping point of being environmentally functional.
The ever present creosote R/R Ties scattered along the banks of the Yaquina River demonstrates how the DEQ Kisses industries ass by allowing non compliance with our State Laws. Just how difficult is it to run a train along the R/R and pickup the creosote soaked discarded R/R ties. Could it be the Mick Jagger's giant size lips painted on the ass end of the cabus belong to the Director of the DEQ or his partner Governor Brown? Bill
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality protects human health and the environment by controlling air and water pollution, reducing the impacts of manufactured products and cleaning up contaminated properties. DEQ engages the public in decision-making and helps communities solve problems in ways that are economically and environmentally sustainable.
