RE: Source Water Assessment Report City of Estacada PWS # 4100279

Dear Mr. Strawn:

Enclosed is the Source Water Assessment Report forthe City of Estacada. The assessment was prepared under the requirements and guidance of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act and the US Environmental Protection Agency, as well as a detailed Source Water Assessment Plan developed by a statewide citizen's advisory committee here in Oregon over the past two years. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Oregon Health Division (OHD) are conducting the assessments for all public water systems in Oregon. The purpose is to provide information so that the public water system staff/operator, consumers, and community citizens can begin developing strategies to protect your source of drinking water.

For watersheds with more than one intake, Oregon completes the assessments by segment and each source water assessment represents the area from the public water system's intake to the next intake upstream. There are .intakes for six water providers in the Clackamas River watershed: The City of Lake Oswego (Lake Oswego Municipal), the City of Oregon City (South Fork Water Board), Oak Lodge Water District (North Clackamas County Water Commission), Clackamas River Water, City of Estacada, and the US Forest Service Ripple brook Ranger Station/Timberlake Job Corps Center. A summary of the watershed acreage for each water provider's segment is provided in the attached Table (see page 3).

This source water assessment addresses Estacada's drinking water protection area between Estacada's intake and the upstream intakes forthe USFS Ripplebrook Ranger Station/Timberlake JCC. Detailed information on theprotecti on area upstream of the USFS Ripplebrook Ranger Station/Timberlake JCC will be presented in the Source Water Assessment for that water system; however, this Source Water Assessment has not been completed yet. We will provide you a summary of results forthe USFS Ripplebrook Ranger Station/Timberlake JCC under a separate cover for inclusion in Attachment B of your report.

The other water providers listed above obtain their source water from the Clackamas River downstream of the Estacada intake. The delineated drinking water protection area for Estacada is also included in the drinking water protection area fordownstream providers, therefore theywill be provided with copies of your report as well. We encourage you to work with them as you move forward with developing a · protection plan.

As you know, the 1996 Amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act requires Consumer Confidence Reports (CCR) by community water systems. CCRs include information about the quality of the drinking

water, the source of the drinking water, and a summary of the source water assessment. Public water systems are responsible for notifying their customers of the assessment results. The information from this assessment can be presented by distributing the "Summary Brochure" attached to the report. There is a blank space to insert instructions for how customers can obtain or review a copy of your source water assessment report. Distribution of any copies of the report must be done at the local level. At a minimum, we would suggest that a copy be placed at the local library, city hall, and/or public water supply office and your customers can review the report at their convenience. By mid-2003, all results of these assessments will also be made available electronically to the public on DEQ's and OHD's websites.

There are no regulatory requirements foryou to develop a protection plan using the assessment results, but we hope your community will take the initiative to do so voluntarily. One of the goals of developing a Drinking Water Protection Plan is to address the facilities and land use activities that pose high or moderate risks forcontam inating your public water supply. At a minimum, we recommend that the community seek ways to communicate and extend outreach to these facilities/activities with education and technical assistance to minimize the risk of contamination. As you begin thinking about developing a protection plan, it is also important to remember that not all of the assessment's inventoried activities will need to be addressed in a voluntary protection plan. If you move forward with developing a protection plan, the next step is to enhance the assessment inventory and, at that time, the "potential contaminant sources" which pose little to no threat to your public water supply can be eliminated from your list.

We look forward to working with you to move forward with developing a protection plan. Our drinking water protection staff arepressed fortime in completing the 1156 assessments like yours across the state, so we can only commit limited resources in assisting you with your protection plan at the present time. We are developing some useful written guidance and materials that will assist your protection efforts and you will receive these when complete.

We have enclosed one copy of the large GIS map of the watershed and the assessment results. A smaller version of this exact map is found in the report. If you have a need for additional copies of the large map, we must charge a small feefor each to cover the costs that were not budgeted by the program. Let me know if you need additional copies.

If you have any questions or need more information, please do not hesitate to call me at 503-229-5664.

Sincerely, rK� Juhe K. Harvey, R.G. Drinking Water Protection Specialist Water Quality Division

Oregon Source Water Assessment Report City ofEstacada - PWS # 4100279

Executive Summary The drinking water forCi ty of Estacada is supplied by an intake on the Clackamas River. This public water system serves approximately 1,910 citizens. The intake is located in the Lower Clackamas and Middle Clackamas River Watershed in the Clackamas Sub-Basin of the Willamette Basin. The US Forest Service (USFS) Ripplebrook Ranger Station/Timberlake Job Corps Center intake fortheir public water system is also located on the Clackamas River upstream of the Estacada intake. This source water assessment addresses the geographic area providing water to Estacada's intake (the drinking water protection area) between Estacada's intake and the upstream intake forthe USFS. Information on the protection area upstream of the USPS intake is presented in the Source .Water Assessment forthat public water system and is summarized in this report. In addition, there are several drinking water intakes on the Clackamas River downstream of Estacada's intake including intakes forthe Clackamas River Water, Oak Lodge Water District (North Clackamas County Water Commission), Oregon City (South Fork Water Board), and City of Lake Oswego (Lake Oswego Municipal Water). Activities and impacts in the Estacada drinking water protection area have the potential to also impact downstream users.

The geographic area providing water to Estacada's intake (the drinking water protection area) extends upstream approximately 58 miles along the Clackamas River and encompasses a total area of 532 square miles. Included in this area are a number of tributaries to the main stem, including Linglebeck Creek, the North Fork and South Fork of the Clackamas River, Memaloose Creek, Fish Creek, Big Creek, Cripple Creek, the Collawash River, and the Roaring River. The elevation change fromthe upper edge of the watershed to the intake is approximately 6,800 feet. Estacada's intake is located at an approximate elevation of 400 feetas Clackamas River flows into the valley floor fromthe mountains.

An inventory of potential contamination sources was performedwithin Estacada's segment of the drinking water protection area. Because of the large size of the drinking water protection area and DEQ 's limited resources, the inventory was limited to the lower portion of the watershed. The Upper Clackamas sub-basin (upstream of the mouth of the Collawash river) and the Collawash river sub-basins were not surveyed for potential contaminant sources. It is highly recommended that the public water system and/or community "enhance" the inventory by identifyingpotential contamination sources in these areas through furtherresearch and local input.

The primary intent of this inventory was to identify and locate significantpotential sources of contaminants of concern. The inventory was conducted by reviewing applicable state and federalregula tory databases and land use maps, interviewing persons knowledgeable of the area, and conducting a windshield survey by driving through the drinking water protection area to field locate and verify as many of the potential contaminant source activities as possible. The primary contaminants of concern for surface water intakesare sediments/turbidity, microbiological, and nutrients. It is important to remember that the sites and areas identified are only potential sources of contamination to the drinking water, and water quality impacts are not likely to occur when contaminants are used and managed properly.

Oregon Source Water Assessment Report 1 City ofEstacada-PWS # 4100279 contamination sources were identified within Estacada's drinking water protection area. Of those, 30 are located in the sensitive areas. The potential contaminant sources identified in the watershed include several residential developments; high-use recreational areas; a furniture repair shop; grazing areas; managed forests;timber management operations and work centers with associated equipment maintenance facilities, machine shops, and waste water treatment facilities; the hydroelectric plant/dam; and transmission line and transportation corridors. This provides a quick look at the existing potential sources of contamination that could, if improperly managed or released, impact the water quality in the watershed.

The susceptibility analysis combines the results of the locations of the potential contaminant sources with the locations of the sensitive areas. Overlaying the locations of the moderate- to high-risk sources within the sensitive areas provides an indication of the areas that are highly susceptible to contamination. In the Estacada watershed, the results of the susceptibility "analysis" include the distribution of 30 identified high- to moderate-risk sources within the areas of highly permeable soils, high erosional soils, high runoff potential soils, and within the 1000' setback fromthe streams. The susceptibility analysis provides the community and the public water system with information on where the greatest risk occurs and where to focus resources for protection.

2 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report City ofEstacada -PWS # 4100279 Introduction In 1996, Congress amended the Safe Drinking Water Act, implemented some new requirements, and provided resources for state agencies to assist communities in protecting the sources of their public water supplies. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed guidelines for implementing the new requirements to conduct "source water assessments" (EPA, 1997). In Oregon, the Oregon Health Division (OHD)and the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) are conducting the source water assessments. An assessment such as this one will be done forevery public water system in Oregon regulated by the SafeDrinking Water Act. DEQ and OHDwill each have specifictasks in accomplishing the assessments for a total of 2656 public water systems in Oregon. Of those 2656 public water systems, about 90% of these are groundwater systems drawing water from wells or springs, and 10% are surfacewater systems with intakes on streams, rivers, or lakes/reservoirs.

The assessments in Oregon include delineating the source area supplying the public water system, identifyingareas "sensitive" to contamination, and conducting an inventory of potential contamination sources in the area. Using the results of the inventory and sensitive areas, the susceptibility of the public water system is determined. OHD will provide the delineation forall groundwater systems and the identification of the sensitive areas within their source area. DEQ will delineate and identify the sensitive areas within the watersheds forthe surface water systems. DEQ will conduct all inventories of the potential contaminant sources inside the drinking water protection areas and this is then used to estimate the public water system's susceptibility to contamination.

Sources of informationreviewed during this assessment included U.S. Geological Survey (U.S.G.S.) documents/websites, DEQ reports, EPA/DEQ databases, and other readily accessible reports. The reference list provides a fewof the good sources of informationused in the report. Time constraints do not allow research into all existing technical resources available for each system. As the assessment is performed, assistance from municipal water staff, state/federal land management officials, and community members will increase OHD and DEQ's abilities to characterize local hydrogeologic/hydrologic conditions, site-specificinformation, and ultimately increase the quality of the assessment. Where possible, DEQ staff has consulted local Natural Resource Conservation Service, county planning agencies, irrigation districts, and other natural resource officials.

Many watersheds in Oregon provide water used forpublic or "domestic" drinking water supplies, irrigation, industry, hydro power, fish hatcheries, and of course, natural in-stream fish rearing. Watersheds vary considerably in terms of overall health and susceptibility to contamination. Most surfacewater sources for drinking water are filtered and undergo treatment (disinfection) prior to delivery to the consumer. The ability to adequately (and cost-effectively) treat drinking water from a surfacewater source is directly related to the quality of the water at the intake. Surface water intakes forpublic water supplies are generally very susceptible to increases in coarse sediments. Treatment facilitiesfor public water supplies are very susceptible to increases in finesedim ents, nutrients and other organic and inorganic contaminants. Treatment facilitiesare also negatively impacted by changes in temperature.

Changes in surfacewater quality parameters can be caused by a variety of factors in any watershed. Detailed consideration of all the variables was beyond the scope of this assessment. The procedures forconducting these assessments were developed by a statewide advisory

Oregon Source Water Assessment Report 3 City ofEstacada-PWS # 4100279 committee (Source Water Assessment Plan, 1999). The value of preparing detailed procedures is in the ability to be consistent from one system to the next. There are also severe time constraints forthe amount of time allowed to complete each public water system assessment. It is our intent to provide as much informationabout the watershed as our program resources allow.

Using the results of this assessment, the public water system and the local community can then move forwardwith voluntarily developing and implementing a drinking water protection plan. The requirements forwater quality monitoring of public water systems in Oregon provide some degree of assurance of safe drinking water; however, all systems are vulnerable to potential contamination. One of the best ways to ensure safe drinking water and minimize future treatment costs is to develop a local plan designed to protect against potential contamination. Not only will this measure add a margin of safety, it will raise awareness in the local community of the risks of drinking water contamination, and provide informationto them about how they can help protect the system. It is our hope that each community will use the assessment results as a basis fordeveloping a drinking water protection plan.

Background Estacada is located in Clackamas County, Oregon about 30 miles southeast of Portland on Highway 224. The drinking water for the Estacada is supplied by an intake on the Clackamas River. This public water system serves approximately 1,910 citizens. The intake is located in the Lower Clackamas and Middle Clackamas River Watershed in the Clackamas Sub-Basin in the Willamette Basin, Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) # 17090011. The coordinates are . DEQ obtained the coordinates using a Geographic Positioning System (GPS) in February 1999.

The study area forevaluating the extent of the Estacada Drinking Water Protection Area (DWPA) includes US Geological Survey topographic maps forOregon City (1982), North Santiam River (1983), Mount Hood (1983) and Madras (1983) at the 1: 100,000 scale. The surfacewater intake plots on the U.S. Geological Survey Oregon City topographic map.

The Clackamas Sub-Basin drains the northeastern section of the Willamette Basin. It is a catchment basin for approximately 940 square miles of south-central Clackamas County (USGS). For more than half of its length, the Clackamas River flows through forestedareas over rugged terrain. The lower reaches flow through agricultural areas and then densely developed areas. The Clackamas begins on the slopes of Olallie Butte, a High Cascade volcano. The river flows 82.7 miles from its headwaters (elevation 6,000 feet)to its confluencewith the Willamette River near Gladstone and Oregon City (elevation 12 feet) (Metro, 1997). Throughout this watershed, numerous small streams and tributary rivers feed the waters of the Clackamas including Clear Creek, the North Fork and South Fork Clackamas Rivers, the Roaring River, Fish Creek, Oak Grove Fork, and the Collawash River with several smaller tributaries.

Since the Estacada drinking water protection area is quite large, the geology is varied. The basement rocks in the Clackamas River Basin are primarily volcanic rock, occurring as layers of floodbasalt referredto as the Columbia River Basalt Group. The basalt is overlain by various formations consisting of tuffaceous sedimentary rocks, tuff, glacial deposits, landslide and

4 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report City of Estacada -PWS # 4100279 debris flow deposits in the southern portion of the watershed. The basalt is overlain by various formations consisting of glacial deposits and glacial flu vialdeposi ts in the upper reaches of the Clackamas River. In the Roaring River area, the basalt is overlain by maficvent complexes, ridge-capping basalt, glacial deposits and alluvial deposits (Metro, 1997) In the lower reaches between Estacada and the North Fork Reservoir, the basalt is overlain by lava flows and consolidated clasts of material formedby volcanic eruption usually held together by mudflows or bound together by heat and pressure (pyroclastics) (Schlicker and Finlayson, 1979). The soils (generally limited to the upper 6 feetof material) upstream of the intake are characterized as deep, well-drained cobbly loams and clay loams that formedin the colluvium from the volcanic andesites, basalts, tuffs, breccias and are mixed with volcanic ash (USDA, 1985). The permeability in these soils ranges from moderately rapid forthe cobbly loams to moderately slow forthe clay loams. Water erosion potential also ranges from severe in the cobbly loams to moderate forthe clay loams (USDA, 1985).

The climate in the Clackamas Sub-Basin area is characterized by moderate annual temperature and precipitation variations. Information on climate in the Estacada drinking water protection area is based on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Estacada and Three Lynx climate station (WesternRegional Climate Center) which is located at elevations of 410 and 1220 feetabove mean sea level, respectively. The average annual temperature is 50 to 52 degrees forboth stations. The summers are dry and moderately warm to hot, with temperature highs of approximately 70 to 80 degrees. Winters are cool and wet, with temperatures usually staying above freezing. Average annual precipitation is about 60 inches at the Estacada station and 70 inches at the Three Lynx station, with approximately 75% of that occurring between October and March. The Estacada climate station gets an average of almost 6 inches of total snowfallper year but has no measurable snow accumulation during the winter months of December through February. The Three Lynx climate station gets an average of 27 inches of total snowfall per year and has measurable snow accumulation of up to 2 inches during the winter months.

Delineation of the Protection Area Methodology The delineation of the source area or the "drinking water protection area" is a fundamental aspect of the assessment of a public water system. For surface water systems such as Estacada's, the drinking water protection area delineation process begins by identifyingthe watershed. The watershed area is also called the catchment basin of a receiving water body. The outer boundary of this watershed is the drainage divide formed by the surrounding ridges and hills. The surfacewater delineation includes the entire watershed area upstream of the public water system intake structure. This watershed area provides "source" water to the surfacewater intake.

A map of the drinking water protection area provides the community with the knowledge of the geographic area providing the water to the intake. This is the area where contamination poses the greatest threat to the drinking water supply. Information about the drinking water protection area allows the community to develop management strategies that will have the most impact on protecting the source of the drinking water.

Oregon Source Water Assessment Report 5 City ofEstacada-PWS # 4100279 Results DEQ has collected and reviewed data forthe purpose of delineating the drinking water protection area forEstacada's intake on Clackamas River. The scope of work forthis report included collecting information from the water system operator, researching written reports, and establishing a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) basemap of the delineated watershed. Estacada 's drinking water protection area from the Estacada intake to the upstream intake for the other public water system (USFS RipplebrookRanger Station) is shown in Figure 1. Estacada's drinking water protection area extends upstream approximately 58 miles along the Clackamas River in a southeasterly direction and encompasses a total area of 532 square miles. Included in this area are a number of tributaries to the main stem, including Linglebeck Creek, the North Fork and South Fork of the Clackamas River, Memaloose Creek, Fish Creek, Big Creek, Cripple Creek, the Collawash River, and the Roaring River. Estacada's intake is located at an approximate elevation of 400 feet as the Clackamas River flows intothe valley floor from the mountains. The upper edge of the watershed is located at an elevation of approximately 7,200 feetat Olallie Butte; therefore, the elevation change fromthe upper edge of the watershed to the intake is approximately 6,800 feet.

Identification of Sensitive Areas Methodology After delineating the entire watershed, DEQ identified the "sensitive areas" within the watershed. The objective in determining the sensitive areas for surface water sources is to produce reliable information to the community and public water system that is useful in developing and prioritizing protection strategies. The list of the sensitive areas to be identified within drinking water watersheds was definedby the DEQ advisory committee as the procedures were developed (SWAP, 1999). The sensitive areas within a drinking water watershed includes both setbacks (land adjacent to stream) and other natural factors that increase the risk of contamination of the surfacewa ter. The result is an identification of a subset of the entire watershed. The sensitive areas are those where potential contamination sources or land use activities, ifpresent, have a greater potential to impact the water supply.

In establishing sensitive areas in a watershed, there are several limiting factorsto take into account. In using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to delineate the sensitive areas within the watershed, DEQ locates existing GIS layers and other natural resource agency data sets. Not all areas of the state have been mapped forthe natural resource parameters of interest or at the level of detail ideal forthis type of analysis. The availability of data at appropriate scales is also a potential limitation. The sensitive area mapping may be limited simply by the lack of readily available data, and conducting additional research is not possible within the time frameallowed to do this assessment. DEQ staffhas sought to obtain the best available informationfor each water system as the source water assessment was performed.

There are four individual characteristics that determine the sensitivity of areas within the drinking water watersheds in the Source Water Assessment Plan (1999) procedures for Oregon water systems. A brief description of the sensitive area characteristics and the sources of the GIS data are included below.

6 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report City of Estacada PWS # 4100279 Sensitive Area Setbacks The first sensitive area is a setback using a consistent 1000' (about 300 meters) distance from the water body. The 1000' sensitive area setbacks are intended to identifythose areas where there are higher risks of contamination by spills or other releases, simply due to their proximity to the water body. The sensitive area setbacks are identifiedas a minimum of 1000' fromcenterline of the intake stream and all perennial tributaries within the delineated drinking water watershed. The distance of 1000' was based on EPA national guidance forthe distance to conduct the potential contamination source inventories adjacent to streams.

High Soil Erosion Potential The soil erosion potential is determined by combining the effects of slope and the soil erodibility factor ("K-factor"). Slopes within a watershed for non-US Forest Service land are evaluated using the 1:24,000 SSURGO (Soil Survey Geographic Database) data sets fromthe Natural Resources Conservation Service. The slope for a map unit is a weighted average of the average slope. The soil erodibility factor isalso available in the SSURGO database and quantifiesthe susceptibility of soil particles to detachment and movement by water including the effects of rainfall, runoff, and infiltration. The K factorused is a weighted average of only the value forthe surface layer of the map unit. In the watershed, only soils with "high" erodibility ratings were mapped as sensitive areas. Soils that classifyas "high" include soil with slopes greater than 30% and K factorsgreater than 0.25. This rating system is based on the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation fromthe USDA Agricultural Research Service as definedin the Washington's Standard Methodology for Conducting Watershed Analysis (Washington Forest Practices Board, 1993).

Soil Resource Inventory (SRI) information from the US Forest Service was used for Mount Hood National Forest lands. The SRI data does not provide a soil-erodibility factorthat is comparable to SSURGO data. Therefore, the Sedimentation Yield Potential (which is used as a surrogate forthe combination of slope and K Factor) is used. The SRI data provides this Sedimentation Yield Potential factorfor "natural" conditions and for"acceler ated" conditions (which assumes human disturbance on the soils such as logging or construction). DEQ used the "natural" conditions factorsince this was more similar to the fieldsused fromthe SSURGO data.

High Permeability Soils Soils identified in the U.S. Geological Survey geologic map of Oregon GIS layer (1:500,000 scale) as Recent Alluvial Deposits (Qal) are mapped as sensitive areas due to the high potential for groundwater recharge adjacent to the stream. Alluvial deposits are typically very high permeability soils. These areas may be very vulnerable to rapid infiltration of contaminants to groundwater and subsequent discharge to a stream or lake/reservoir.

High RunoffPotential The potential forhigh runoffrates on non-US Forest Service land was evaluated using the 1 :24,000 SSURGO (Soil Survey Geographic Database) data sets fromthe Natural Resources Conservation Service. Class D soils, which are defined as soils with very slow infiltration rates were mapped as sensitive areas within the boundaries of the drinking water protection area. Map units are assigned to hydrologic groups based on

Oregon Source Water Assessment Report 7 City ofEstacada-PWS # 4100279 their majority component. A Class D soil is typifiedas clayey, has a high water table, or an impervious layer occurs at a shallow depth. Soils with these characteristics would have the potential forrapid runoffand subsequent transport of sediments and possible contaminants to the surface water body supplying the public water system.

Hydrologic soil group Soil Resource Inventory (SRI) information from the US Forest Service was used forMount Hood National Forest lands. In some cases, the SRI data does not identify a dominant soil type. Where dominant soil types were not specifiedin the SRI data, DEQ assumed the most conservative soil type applies and used those areas that were classified as "Group D" (soils with slow infiltration rates) to identify areas sensitive to high runoff potential.

Additional Sensitive Areas There may be other natural characteristics within a watershed that can be mapped as sensitive. Modifyingthe list of sensitive areas in this assessment can be done by the public water system or the community by identifying resources and procedures that are appropriate forthe individual system. For example, the local community may choose to add "transient snow zones'', high rainfallareas, and landslide/debris-flowhazards to the sensitive areas within their watershed. Due to time constraints, these additional areas will not be mapped by DEQ as part of this source water assessment, but can be added by the local community before developing a protection plan.

Transient snow zones are typically definedas areas above 1,500 feetin the Oregon Coast Range, or above 2,000 feet in the Cascades. In some watersheds, these areas may be subject to rapid snowmelt or rain-on-snow events, which increase the likelihood of transport of sediments to the surfacewater bodies in the watershed. Areas of high rainfall or irrigation rates may increase the likelihood of transport of sediments and possible contaminants to the surface water body. These areas can be identified using average annual precipitation data fromOregon Climate Service (years 1961 through 1990) and irrigation/water rights data from Oregon Water Resources Department's water rights database. Mapping the high risk landslide and debris-flow areas can also be useful forevaluating sediment risks fromnatural hazards within a drinking water watershed. The Department of Forestry has recently completed GIS-based landslide and debris flowmaps forwestern Oregon (Website address: http://www.odf.state.or.us/gis/debris.html).

The final watershed map foreach public water system intake includes a composite of all sensitive areas identifiedby DEQ within the watershed. This composite or overlay will enable the communities and responsible agencies to focusfuture protectioneffor ts in these sensitive areas.

Results The sensitive areas within the Estacada 's portion of the drinking water protection area are shown on Figure 2.. Maps of the sensitive areas in the drinking water protection area upstream of the USFS Ripplebrook intake is provided in Attachment B. The sensitive areas in Estacada's portion of the drinking water protection area include the setbacks from the main stem and all perennial tributaries, large areas of areas of high soil erosion potential (especially along the Fish Creek and Collawash River drainage and along the South Fork of the Clackamas River), and a

8 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report City ofEstacada - PWS # 4100279 fewisola ted areas of high runoff potential. Areas with high soil permeability were not identified in the GIS layers. Good data coverage was available forthe Estacada watershed foreach of the sensitive areas.

Inventory of Potential Contaminant Sources

Methodology The primary intent of an inventory is to identify and locate significant potential sources of any of the contaminants of concern within the drinking water protection area. Significant potential sources of contamination can be defined as any facility or activity that stores, uses, or produces the contaminants of concernand has a sufficient likelihood of releasing such contaminants to the environment at levels that could contribute significantly to the concentration of these contaminants in the source waters of the public water supply. An inventory is a very valuable tool forthe local community in that it: • provides information on the locations of potential contaminant sources, especially those that present the greatest risks to the water supply, • provides an effective means of educating the local public about potential problems, • provides valuable awareness to those that own or operate facilitiesand land use activities in the drinking water protection area, and • provides a reliable basis for developing a local protection plan to reduce the risks to the water supply.

Inventories are focusedprimarily on the potential sources of contaminants regulated under the federalSafe Drinking Water Act. This includes contaminants with a maximum contaminant level (MCL), contaminants regulated under the SurfaceWater Treatment Rule, and the microorganism Cryptosporidium. The inventory was designed to identifyseveral categories of potential sources of contaminants including micro-organisms (i.e., viruses, Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium, and fecalbacteria); inorganic compounds (i.e., nitrates and metals); organic compounds (i.e., solvents, petroleum compounds and pesticides) and turbidity/sediments. Contaminants can reach a water body (groundwater, rivers, lakes, etc.) from activities occurring on the land surface or below it. Contaminant releases to water bodies can also occur on an area wide basis or froma single point source.

When identifying potentialrisks to a public water supply, it is necessary to make "worst-case" assumptions. This is important because it is the POTENTIAL risk that we are attempting to determine through this procedure and it is simply not possible within our time constraints to conduct individual reviews or inspections at any of the facilities or land uses. The worst-case assumption that is made when considering potential risks to water bodies is that the facility or activityis not employing good management practices or pollution prevention. Under today's regulatory standards and environmental awareness, the majority of the identified activities and land uses employ "best management practices" (BMPs) in handling contaminants or preventing water quality degradation.fromtheir operations. It is important to note that while this assessment will list all POTENTIAL risks, many of these do not present actual risks to the water system. Environmental contamination is not likely to occur when contaminants are handled and used properly, or when BMPs are employed. The day-to-day operating practices and environmental (contamination) awareness varies considerably from one facility or land use activity to another. In-depth analysis or research was not completed to assess each specific

Oregon Source Water Assessment Report 9 City ofEstacada - PWS # 4100279 source's compliance status with local, state and/or federal programs or laws. Further, the inventory process did not include an attempt to identify unique contamination risks at individual sites such as facilities (permitted or not) that do not safely store potentially hazardous materials. After the assessment is completed, the next step is to conduct an "enhanced" inventory that will look at the site-specific practices. The potential sources listed in the assessment that employ BMPs (required through regulations OR voluntarily) can be removed from the list during the next step in the process of developing a voluntary drinking water protection plan.

Assumptions are also made about what potential contamination sources are included in the various types of land uses. For example, it is assumed that rural residences associated with farming operations have specificpotential contamination sources such as fuel storage, chemical storage and mixing areas, and machinery repair shops. Again, any errors in these assumptions can be easily corrected as the community moves beyond the assessment to develop a protection plan.

Past, current, and possible future potential sources of contaminants were identifiedthrough a variety of methods and resources. In completing this inventory, DEQ used readily available information including review ofDEQ, EPA, and other agencies' databases of currently listed sites, interviews with the public water system operator, and field observation as discussed below. The process for completing the inventory forEstacada's drinking water protection area included several steps, which are summarized as follows:

1. Collected relevant information as of November 2000 fromapplicable state and federal regulatory databases including the following lists: - DEQ Environmental Cleanup Site Information System (ECSI) which includes the U.S. EPA National Priorities List (NPL) and the U.S. EPA Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Information System (CERCLA) list; - DEQ leaking underground storage tank (LUST) list; DEQ registered underground storage tank (UST) list; DEQ Active Solid Waste Disposal Permits list; DEQ Dry Cleaners list; DEQ Site Information System (SIS) which includes Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitted facilities; State Fire Marshall Hazardous Material Handlers (HAZMAT) site list (information on materials in a gas-formwas not used since gaseous compounds rarely pose a threat to surface water or groundwater); and DEQ Hazardous Waste Management Information System (HWIMSY) list which includes U.S. EPA Resource Conservation Recovery Act (RCRA) generators or notifiers and U.S. EPA RCRA Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility (TSDF) Permits.

Due to the large protection area and DEQ's limited resources, the regulatory databases were queried for the City of Estacada only. Unincorporated areas of Clackamas County were not queried. Because of the way various state and federal databases are set up, the specific location of listed sites is not always given or accurate within the database. DEQ verifiedthe presence and approximate location of potential contaminant sources and land

10 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report City of Estacada- PWS # 4100279 uses within the drinking water protection area by consulting with local community members and/or by driving through the area (windshield survey) as discussed below in subsequent inventory steps.

2. Land use/ownership maps were reviewed fromthe Metro Regional Services Clackamas River Watershed Atlas (Metro, 1997). The land use maps were evaluated to establish the potential threat that existing or future land uses might pose to the quality of your water supply. Four general categories of land use were evaluated: residential/municipal, commercial/industrial, agricultural/forest, and other land uses (see Table 1).

3. Interviewed public water system officials,or someone they designated as knowledgeable of the area to identify potential sources that are not listed elsewhere in databases or on maps and to assist in locating potential sources listed in the state and federal databases. A representative of Estacada's water system accompanied DEQ during part of the survey (along Highway 224 fromEstacada to the Ripplebrook Ranger Station). US Forest Service staff provided consultation, maps, and PCS location assistance forthe upper regions of the drinking water protection area. Watershed Analysis Reports forthe mainstem Clackamas River and the Roaring River (published by the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Oregon Parks and Recreation Dept.) were consulted forfurther location assistance of potential sources of contamination in the upper regions of the drinking water protection area.

4. Conducted a windshield survey by driving through the drinking water protection area to

field locate and verify as many as possible of the potential contaminant source activities . . Because of the large size of the drinking water protection area and DEQ's limited resources, the inventory was limited to the lower portion of the watershed. The Upper Clackamas sub-basin (upstream of the mouth of the Col/awash river) and the Col/awash river sub-basins were not surveyed for potential contaminant sources.

5. Assigned high-, moderate-, or low-risk ratings to each potential contaminant source based on the Oregon Source Water Assessment Plan (1999). A summary of the types of potential contaminant sources and level of assigned risk is presented in Table 1 (Summary of Potential Contaminant Sources by Land Use). The "comments" section of Table 2 (Inventory Results- List of Potential Contaminant Sources) provides justification forany modificationsto the risk rating that may have resulted from fi eld observations that were different from what is typically expected forthe specificfacili ty. Relative risk ratings are considered an effective way forthe water supply officials and community to prioritize management efforts forthe drinking water protection area. When the local water supply officials and community "team" enhance the inventory foruse in developing management options, further analysis may need to be conducted to more closely evaluate the actual level of risk.

6. Produced final summary of the inventoried sources and the GIS base map, which are presented in this report.

For surfacewater systems that encompass an area greater than 100 square miles, such as Estacada's, the database search and land use evaluation (Steps 1 and 2 above) were conducted forthe entire watershed. Then additional inventory tools (interviews) and field verification of the higher-risk potential sources were conducted within the sensitive areas of the watershed.

Oregon Source Water Assessment Report 11 City ofEstacada-PWS # 4100279 The additional windshield survey was also limited to the sensitive areas identified in the watershed. These sensitive zones of the drinking water protection area are comprised of lands within the 1,000-foot setbacks fromthe center of streams and others as described above in the "Identification of Sensitive Areas" section of this report.

Results The survey of the mainstem Clackamas River basin was limited the lower portion of the watershed The Upper Clackamas sub-basin (upstream of the mouth of the Collawash river) and the Collawash river sub-basins were not surveyed for potential contaminant sources. The inventory results for these areas are summarized in Tables I through 3 and are shown on Figure 3. It is highly recommended that the public water system and/or community "enhance" the inventory by identifyingpotential contamination sources in these areas through further research, local input, and coordination with public agencies for publicly owned lands. Maps and tables detailing potential sources of contamination in the drinking water protection area upstream of the USFS Ripplebrookintake is provided in Attachment B.

The delineated drinking water protection area is primarily dominated by agricultural, residential and rural land uses between Estacada's intake and the North Fork Reservoir and is primarily dominated by managed forest lands above the North Fork Reservoir. A total of 34 potential contamination sources were identifiedwithin Estacada's drinking water protection area. The potential contaminant sources identified in the watershed include several residential developments; high-use recreational areas; a furniture repair shop; grazing areas; managed forests;timber management operations and work centers with associated equipment maintenance facilities, machine shops, and waste water treatment facilities; the hydroelectric plant/dam; and transmission line and transportation corridors. The potential contaminant sources within the drinking water protection area all pose a relatively higher to moderate risk to the drinking water supply.

The presence of potential contaminant sources within Estacada's drinking water protection area provides a quick look at the potential sources of contaminants that could, if improperly managed, impact the water quality in the watershed. Even very small quantities of certain contaminants can significantly impact water bodies. It is important to remember the sites and areas identified in this section are only potential sources of contamination to the drinking water.

12 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report City of Estacada -PWS # 4100279 Susceptibility Analysis Methodology Susceptibility can be defined as the potential for contamination in the drinking water protection area to reach the intake on the surface water body being used by a public water system for drinking water purposes. Whether or not a particular drinking water source becomes contaminated depends on three major factors: 1) the occurrence of a facility or land use that releases contamination, 2) the location of the release, and 3) the hydro logic and/or soil characteristics in the watershed that allow the transport of the contaminants to the surface water body.

In conducting a susceptibility analysis the firststep is identifying that part of the watershed that is most sensitive to contamination. This was accomplished after the delineation phase of this assessment. The second step consists of identifying and locating the potential contaminant sources in the drinking water protection area. Based on the type of facility and the nature of the chemicals they use, these sources represent a lower-, moderate-, or higher-relative risk to the surfacewater body. This step was accomplished in the inventory phase of the assessment.

The third step in the susceptibility analysis is to overlay the results of the inventory with the map of the sensitive areas. The results of the inventory are analyzed in terms of current, past, and future land uses; their time-of-travel relationship or proximity to the intake site; and their associated risk rating. In general, land uses that are closest to the intake and those with the highest risk rating pose the greatest threat to a drinking water supply. The presence and locations of the potential contamination sources within the sensitive areas will determine where the water system has the highest susceptibility to contamination. The susceptibility analysis cannot predict when or if contamination will actually occur, but it does recognize conditions that are highly favorable for contamination to occur. If a contaminant release to soils or water should occur in a sensitive area, it is very likely that contamination of the surfacewater body would occur if remedial actions are not undertaken.

When several high or moderate risk sources are located within the sensitive areas, the public water system may also be said to have a high overall susceptibility to contamination. If a public water system's drinking water source is determined to be of high susceptibility, it is recommended that the system identify those condition(s) that lead to the high susceptibility and take steps to protect the resource (e.g., reducing soil erosion, or working directly with facility operators to implement sound management practices, etc.). Water systems with a low susceptibility should consider all identified factorsthat could lead to higher susceptibility in the futureand take action to prepare a strategy to protect the resource in the future.

Results The results of the potential contamination source inventory are combined with the locations of the sensitive areas to determine the most susceptible areas within Estacada's portion of the drinking water watershed. The total number of sources within the sensitive areas are summarized in the followingtable:

Oregon Source Water Assessment Report 13 City ofEstacada PWS # 4100279 Within Outside of Total Within Drinking Sensitive Sensitive areas Water Protection Area Areas

Total Number of High and Moderate Risk Potential 30 4 34 Contamination Sources Higher Risk Potential Contamination Sources Identified 14 4 18

Moderate Risk Potential Contamination Sources Identified 16 0 16 Lower Risk Potential Contamination Sources Identified 0 0 0 Total Potential Contamination Sources Identified 30 4 34

Overlaying the locations of the moderate- to high-risk sources with the sensitive areas provides an indication of the areas that are highly susceptible to contamination. The susceptibility analysis results are shown on Figure 3 (Source Water Assessment Results). Where the moderate- to higher-risk sources fall within the sensitive areas are those areas most vulnerable to contamination. In the Estacada watershed, it includes the distribution of the 30 identified sources within the areas of highly permeable soils, high erosional soils, high runoffpotential soils, and within the 1000' setback from the streams. In general, potential contaminant sources within the sensitive areas in the lower watershed pose greater risk than those in the higher areas of the watershed. The susceptibility analysis provides the water system with information on where the greatest risk occurs and where to focusresources forprotection.

When all of the assessments are completed in Oregon, DEQ will provide a second type of susceptibility analysis forthe surfacewater systems, an "inter-system susceptibility" on a statewide basis. DEQ will develop a summary report describing how the Estacada watershed compares with other drinking water watersheds in the state. To normalize the results of the assessments, the total number of potential contamination sources will not be used. The density of the moderate- to higher-risk sources within the drinking water protection area and within the sensitive areas will be calculated. This comparison will be based upon the number and distribution of the potential contamination sources in the watersheds that serve as drinking water resources. The purpose is not to rank individual systems, but to provide general groupings of overall risk relative to other Oregon public water systems. This will enable state agencies to develop priorities for staffing and fundingmore detailed assessments and protection measures.

14 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report City ofEstacada - PWS # 4100279 Summary and Recommendations This assessment provides a basis for focusing limited resources within the community to protect the drinking water source. The delineation provides the community with information regarding the location of the land area that directly supplies the surfacewater intake, i.e., the drinking water protection area. The sensitive areas are those where potential contamination sources or land use activities, if present, have the greater potential to impact the water supply. When the sensitive area information is combined with the potential contaminant source inventory, the highly vulnerable areas are identified (referredto as a susceptibility analysis). These should become high priority areas to be addressed firstwith educational information,technical assistance, and focused outreachto landowners to encourage voluntary cooperation in protecting the water quality in this watershed.

This assessment provides a basis forinformed decis ion-making regarding community planning. The delineation, inventory and susceptibility analysis provides the community with a significant amount of informationregarding where their drinking water comes fromand an identification of some of the potential risks to the quality of that source. For example, knowing the location and status of the source area allows the community's planning authority to potentially make informed decisions regarding proposed land uses that are compatible with both the drinking water resource and the vision of community growth embraced by the community. Educating the community citizens about the susceptibility and risks to your system enables more public involvement in any future decisions about the public water system.

The results of this Source Water Assessment forthe area between Estacada's intake and the upstream intake forthe USPS Ripplebrook Station and the recommendations based on the results are summarized below.

+ City ofEstacada's public water system draws water from the Clackamas River. The source of this water is within the Clackamas Sub-Basin. Estacada's drinking water protection area extends approximately 58 miles along the Clackamas River in a southeasterly direction and encompasses a total area of 532 square miles. Included in this area are a number of tributaries to the main stem, including Linglebeck Creek, the North Fork and South Fork of the Clackamas River, Memaloose Creek, Fish Creek, Big Creek, Cripple Creek, the Collawash River, and the Roaring River.

+ Within the Estacada drinking water protection area, there are large areas identified as sensitive to contamination. Areas that are adjacent to the streams/river, areas that have high soil erosion potential, high runoff potential, and high permeability should all receive special considerations forprotection. These are some of the areas where the risk is greatest forexisting and future potential sources of contamination impacting the water quality in the watershed. It is recommended that other natural conditions be considered and possibly added to the assessment results before proceeding with voluntary development of a drinking water protection plan.

+ The susceptibility of the public drinking water system source depends on both the natural conditions in the watershed as well as the land uses and facilities operating in the watershed. The purpose of the susceptibility exercise is to identify those factors that may pose more of a risk than others within the community's drinking water protection area. It provides information with respect to facilities or land uses in the sensitive areas within the drinking water protection

Oregon Source Water Assessment Report 15 City ofEstacada - PWS # 4100279 area that should be given greater priority in developing protection strategies. A review of the inventory and the sensitive areas indicates that the Estacada public water system has at least 30 high and moderate-risk sources within the sensitive areas in the watershed. It is highly recommended that the community "enhance" or refinethe delineation of the sensitive areas and the identification of the potential contamination sources through further research, local input, and coordination with public agencies forpublicly owned lands.

+ Due to the streamlined procedures forconducting the source water assessments, the results could potentially create a misperception that the "human activities" within the watersheds are higher risks than natural conditions or disturbances such as landslides and storm events. For example, it would be erroneous for communities to conclude that their source water was not at risk from natural conditions that produce sediments if there were no potential contamination sources identifiedwithin their watershed. It is recommended that the community take steps to ensure the natural conditions (both those identified in this assessment and any other additional areas identifiedby the community) within the watershed are considered when developing strategies forprotecti on.

+ Public water systems may be threatened by contamination already in the surfacewater. Many public water systems conduct routine tests forcontamination in the raw water prior to treatment. It is highly recommended that such data be used to determine existing risks in the watershed. Collecting and analyzing this raw water data by DEQ or OHD has not been done and is beyond the scope of this assessment.

+ This assessment provides a basis for dealing with futurewater quality work in the watershed. The delineation, inventory, and susceptibility analysis has been designed to serve as a strong foundation forfurther in-depth watershed assessments or water quality improvement efforts, such as Oregon's Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) plans.

+ The primary intent of this source water assessment is to provide the background information forthe community to use in developing a local Drinking Water Protection Plan. The Estacada and/or the public water system should assemble a team to assist in the development and implementation of a Drinking Water Protection Plan. Clean safe drinking water is fundamental to the viability of any community. Protecting the drinking water source is a wise and relatively inexpensive investment in the community's future. The next section will discuss this voluntary process.

16 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report City of Estacada -PWS # 4100279 Developing a Drinking Water Protection Plan This Source Water Assessment (SWA) Report foryour public water system is a compilation of the results of the delineation of the source area, identification of the sensitive areas, and an inventory of significant risks. The final product, the susceptibility analysis, provides the basis forprioritizing the areas in and around your community that need to be protected. As we discussed in the introduction, our hope is that the community will use the assessment as a basis fordeveloping a "Drinking Water Protection Plan".

The process fordeveloping a complete Drinking Water Protection Plan can be summarized as follows:

ASSESSMENT PHASE (Source Water Assessment Report performed by DEQ and OHD) 1. Delineate the area that serves as the source of the public water supply ("drinking water protection area" forgroundwater wells or surfacewater intakes) 2. Inventory the potential risks or sources of contamination 3. Determine the areas most susceptible to contamination PROTECTION PHASE (performed by community) 4. Assemble a local Drinking Water Protection Team 5. Enhance the Source Water Assessment 6. Develop a plan to protect the supply (reduce the risks of contamination) 7. Develop a contingency plan to address the potential loss ofthe system 8. Certify(optional) and implement the Drinking Water Protection Plan

As you know, the assessment phase work was funded by the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. The assessment is simply the first three steps of developing a protection plan foryour public water supply. Developing a protection plan is voluntary.

Prior to moving into the protection phase, DEQ recommends the inventory presented in this document be reviewed in detail to clarifythe presence, location, operational practices, actual risks, etc. of the identified facilitiesand land use activities. The SW A inventory should be regarded as a preliminary review of potential sources of contamination within the drinking water protection area. Resources within the community should be used to do an "enhanced inventory" to complete this preliminary list of potential sources of contamination.

It is also important to remember that not all of the inventoried activities will need to be addressed if you choose to develop a Drinking Water Protection Plan. When developing a protection plan, sources which pose little to no threat to your public water supply can be screened out. For example, if any of the land use activities are conducted in a manner that already significantly reduces the risk of a contamination release, the facility would not need to re-evaluate their practices based on drinking water protection "management". One of the goals of developing a Drinking Water Protection Plan based on the inventory results is to address those land use activities that do pose high or moderate risks to your public water supply. The community should target these facilities with greater levels of education and technical assistance to minimize the risk of contamination.

Limited technical assistance is available through both DEQ and OHD forcommunities that choose to move beyond the assessments and voluntarily develop a Drinking Water Protection Plan. Using the results of the assessment (and enhanced inventory), the local community can

Oregon Source Water Assessment Report 17 City of Estacada -PWS # 4100279 form a "Drinking Water Protection Team" of community members and develop a plan to reduce the risks of contamination from those sources.

Forming a local team to help with the development of a protection plan is very important. Oregon's drinking water protection approach relies upon the concept of "community-based protection", as are many other water quality programs. Community-based protection simply refersto the concept of allowing local control and decision-making to implement the water quality protection effort. Community-based protection is successfulonly with significant local citizen and stakeholder involvement.

The primary advantage of community-based protection is that it links community needs to environmental needs. Any successful protection program will need to be flexibleenough to allow the community to adopt the "tools" or elements that are most appropriate forthem . Allowing this local control in making the changes necessary for improving water quality will accomplish two key elements of restoration and protection. Community-based protection can draw on the knowledge and successful adaptive practices of the local area. Landowners generally know best how to achieve water resource restoration and protection as long as a thorough explanation of the problem is provided, the objectives are defined, and some free technical assistance is provided. Secondly, knowing they have more local control, citizens will also be more likely to participate in the program and more willing to assist with the educational and outreach effort,which will make the plan successful. We recommend that the protection plan be developed so as to minimize any burdens on individual property owners, but maximize the equity in responsibility for reducing the risks offuture contamination.

Drinking water protection involves developing protection strategies for groundwater or surface water sources of public water supplies. There are many similarities between this program and other water quality protection programs, and it is essential that water quality efforts are coordinated and linked in each geographic area as much as possible. DEQ is committed to linking the drinking water protection efforts to other habitat and water quality improvement efforts for fish in Oregon, as well as the ongoing work to address Clean Water Act 303(d) water-quality-limited streams. One of the primary means of providing technical assistance is to give your community the information and coordination necessary to create these links. Other agencies will also be involved in providing technical assistance as protection plans are developed. For example, on farmlands,the Oregon Department of Agriculture will provide assistance as provided forunder Senate Bill 1010. In developing recommendations for protecting the drinking water source area, your community can maximize the use of existing programs in Oregon that offe r freetechn ical assistance. Examples of such programs include: • pollution prevention technical assistance from the Department of Environmental Quality, • sanitary survey assistance from the Oregon Health Division, • household hazardous waste assistance from the Department of Environmental Quality, • land use planning from the Department of Land Conservation and Development, • agricultural water quality management plans Oregon Department of Agriculture, • water conservation education fromthe Water Resources Department, or • rural water quality outreach from the Oregon State University Extension Service.

Protecting the drinking water supply in a community can also be a very effectiveway to encourage all citizens to participate in an issue which directly affects everyone in that community. This often leads to more public involvement in other significant local decisions

18 Oregon Source Water Assessment Report City ofEstacada- PWS # 4100279 concerning future livability issues (i.e., land use planning). In communities already developing and implementing Drinking Water Protection Plans, the process has served to bring many diverse interests together on a common goal and strengthened the local rural and urban relationships through communication and increased understanding. We must continue to do a better job in our outreach efforts to point out that we are all part of the existing water quality problems. The risks and sources of water quality problems are not only fromindustries, farmers, and managed forests, but every individual living, commuting and working in that area.

Executive Summary The drinking water forU.S. Forest Servic� Timberlake JCC (Timberlake JCC) is supplied by an intake on Harriet Lake. This public water system serves approximately 450 citizens. The intake is located in the Oak Grove Fork Clackamas River Watershed in the Clackamas Sub Basin of the Willamette Basin. In addition, Timberlake JCC uses a groundwater spring for drinldng water supply. This Source Water Assessment addresses only the surface water component of Timberlake JCC's drinking water supply and the groundwater supply will be addressed in a separate report.

There are five drinking water intakes on the Clackamas River downstream of Timberlake JCC's intake including the intakes for the City of Estacada, Clackamas River Water, North Clackamas County Water Commission, South Fork Water Board, and Lake Oswego Municipal Water. Activities and impacts in the Timberlake JCC drinking water protection area have the potential to also impact downstream users.

The geographic area providing water to Timberlake JCC's intake (the drinking water protection area) extends upstreamapproximately 128 miles in an easterly direction and encompasses a total area of 131 square miles. Included in this area are a number of tributaries to the main stem, including Kink, Peavine, Cot, Shellrock, Buck, Stone, Anvil and Dinger Creeks and Timothy Lake and its tributaries. The protection area within an 8-hour travel time from the intake extends approximately 8.6 miles upstreamof the HarrietLake intake. It is recommended the Timberlake JCC water system and community consider increased protection within an 8-hour travel time fromthe intake since eight hours should provide adequate response time to protect the integrity of the public water system intake after a spill or release at any crossing or discharge point to the stream. The intake is located at an approximate elevation of 2,035 fe et and the upper edge of the watershed is located at an elevation of approximately 5,600 feet at Mt. Wilson.

An inventory of potential contamination sources fo r the surfa ce water source was performed within Timberlake JCC's drinking water protection area. The primary intent of this inventory was to identify and locate significant potential sources of contaminants of concern. The inventory was conducted by reviewing applicable state and federal regulatory databases and land use maps, interviewing persons knowledgeable of the area, and conducting a windshield survey by driving through the drinking water protection area to field locate and verify as many of the potential contaminant source activities as possible. The primary contaminants of concern for surface water intakes are sediments/turbidity, microbiological, and nutrients. It is important to remember that the sites and areas identified are only potential sources of contamination to the drinking water, and water quality impacts are not likely to occur when contaminants are used and managed properly.

The delineated drinking water protection area forthe surfacewater source is primarily dominated by forestry land uses. A total of twelve potential contamination sources were identified within Timberlake JCC's drinking water protection area. All of those are located in the sensitive areas. The potential contaminant sources identifiedin the watershed include gravel pits, five campgrounds, Timothy Lake high use recreation area, a hydroelectric plant, a horse camp, clear cuts, transmission lines, and road crossings. The potential contaminant sources within the drinking water protection area all pose a relatively higher to moderate risk to the drinldng water supply. In addition, a campground, two cinnabar mines, the Lake Harriet Dam, and landslides were identified as potential sources of contamination located outside of the drinking water protection area. These potential sources are included in the inventory because

Oregon Source Water Assessment Report 1 U.S. Forest Service Timberlake JCC-PWS # 4101093 they may impact downstream water users. This provides a quick look at the existing potential sources of contamination that could, if improperly managed or released, impact the water quality in the watershed.

The susceptibility analysis combines the results of the locations of the potential contaminant sources with the locations of the sensitive areas. Overlaying the locations of the moderate- to high-risk sources within the sensitive areas provides an indication of the areas that are highly susceptible to contamination. Inthe Timberlake JCC watershed, the results of the susceptibility "analysis" include the distribution of 12 identified high- to moderate-risk sources within the areas of highly permeable soils, high erosional soils, high runoff potential soils, and within the 1000' setback from the streams. The susceptibility analysis provides the community and the public water system with information on where the greatest risk occurs and where to focus resources for protection.
