  • Frequently Asked Questions
    Frequently Asked Questions Why are we doing this project? The City of Klamath Falls is working to upgrade the Spring Street Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) due to its aging infrastructure and the need to meet new, stricter treatment standards. The project is an important, long-term investment for the community. The City has operated the Spring Street STP since 1958, serving Klamath Falls for over 60 years. Many of the plant’s parts are original since their installation in the 1950s. As repairs are becoming necessary due to age, it is more cost-efficient to replace them entirely them than to repair them. A comprehensive upgrade is a smart investment in the plant, avoiding short-term, quick-fix solutions that add up in the long run. What benefits will this project provide to the City of Klamath Falls? The City’s Wastewater Division provides services to approximately 21,000 city residents and Klamath Basin area customers, cleaning an average 2.2 million gallons of wastewater per day from over 7,400 service connections. These upgrades will provide the following benefits to this process and to the community: • Improved health, safety, and welfare of the public. • Reliable, robust treatment with sufficient process and equipment redundancy (allowing the plant to stay operational while routine maintenance and repairs occur), and operator-friendly facilities. • Energy efficiency, which will result in additional funding from the Energy Trust of Oregon and reduced power bills. • Reduction in operation and maintenance costs due to the elimination of two existing processes: primary clarification and digestion. Along with being a smart long-term investment, the upgrades will help keep the City in compliance with Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) regulations and protect the area’s natural resources such as Lake Ewauna, the headwaters of the Klamath River where the treated wastewater is discharged.

The resources of the project are strongly associated with the early development of electricity in the southern Oregon and northern California region and played a significant role in the area’s economy both directly, as a part of a regionally-significant, locally-owned and operated, private utility, and indirectly, through the role that increased electrical capacity played in the expansion of the timber, agriculture, and recreation industries during the first six decades of the 20th century. The Klamath Hydroelectric Project is considered regionally significant and eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion “A” for its association with the industrial and economic development of southern Oregon and northern California. [See Statement of Significance, Page 19] Copco No. 1, Dam and Gatehouse, 2002 In my opinion, the property ___ meets ___ does not meet the criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

  • 10.0 Screening Level Determination of Chemical Contaminants in Fish Tissue in Selected Project Reservoirs
    10.0 SCREENING LEVEL DETERMINATION OF CHEMICAL CONTAMINANTS IN FISH TISSUE IN SELECTED PROJECT RESERVOIRS 10.1 DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE Past activities in and around Lake Ewauna and other locations in Keno reservoir suggest that sediments in the reservoir may be contaminated with agricultural chemical residue, poly- chlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and trace metals including mercury. While it is unknown whether the Klamath Hydroelectric Project has contributed to the potential sources of sediment contaminants, it is possible that accumulation of potentially contaminated sediments in Project reservoirs has resulted in conditions conducive to bioaccumulation of such contaminants. Both Oregon1 and California2 have water quality standards concerning bioaccumulation of toxic substances. Therefore, the water quality agencies of both states requested that studies be done to determine whether bioaccumulation of potentially toxic contaminants was occurring. The purpose of this study was to determine if edible fish in the Project reservoirs contain unaccept- ably high residues of potentially toxic contaminants. 10.2 OBJECTIVE This study is intended to be a Tier I (screening level) study of the Project reservoirs. The primary aim of the study was to identify whether certain fish species are bioaccumulating toxic substances at levels that may adversely affect public health or wildlife via fish consumption, or be harmful to aquatic life (based on existing quality criteria/guidelines for the protection of human health, wildlife, and aquatic life). Locations were sampled where fishing is practiced, including areas where various types of fishing are conducted routinely (e.g., from a pier, from shore, or from private and commercial boats), thereby exposing a significant number of people to potentially adverse health effects.
