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. There are nine drinking water intakes for public water systems located on the North and South Santiam Rivers upstream of the Jefferson intake. Activities and impacts in the upstream protection areas have the potential to impact your drinking water. The upstream public water systems include Stayton Water Supply, Salem Public Works, Lyons Mehama Water District, Mill City Water Department, City of Gates, and Detroit Water System on the North Santiam River and the Cities of Lebanon, Albany and Sweet Home on the South Santiam River.

I. Facts Plaintiff claims that he was injured on January 21, 1999 while he was installing plumbing in a structure in Olathe, Kansas. Plaintiff claims that his injury occurred when, as he was inspecting his work, one of the braces plaintiff had installed “shot out” from between the joists of the structure and flew directly into plaintiff’s eye, which caused loss of the eye. Plaintiff claims that the engineered I-beam joists (“the product”) that plaintiff was installing pipe under were harder, more elastic, and more difficult to penetrate than sawn lumber joists, preventing the copper pipe plaintiff had installed from wedging itself between the joists. Plaintiff thus claims that the product is defective and that both the manufacturer and the distributor of the product failed to warn him of the alleged defect. Plaintiff resided in Kansas and was working for a Case 2:02-cv-02143-CM Document 145 Filed 03/08/06 Page 2 of 12 Kansas employer at the time of the injury which gave rise to his claims.

  • Beverage Container Regulation: Economic Implications and Suggestions for Model Legislation
    Beverage Container Regulation: Economic Implications and Suggestions For Model Legislation Charles M. Gudger* and Kenneth D. Walters* INTRODUCTION It is a paradox of modem industrial societies that while they recently have been encountering shortages of many natural resources, more and more resources are thrown away every year. These societies face shortages of energy and at the same time experience an ever- increasing glut of solid waste residuals and litter. In the United States, production of solid waste reached the rate of 3.32 pounds per person per day in 1971.1 A prime contributor to this trend has been the growing use of throw-away consumer product packaging. Packaging is the largest com- ponent of municipal solid waste in the United States, 34 percent by weight.2 Annual U.S. consumption of packaging materials increased from 35 million tons in 1958 to 59.5 million tons in 1970, and will reach a projected 73.5 million tons in 1976, equivalent to 661 pounds of packaging per person per year.3 The use of nonreturnable beverage containers is a significant com- ponent of the solid waste problem. The growing use of nonreturnable beverage containers represents a classic success story in modern market- ing in the United States. In 1958, only two percent of the soft drink packages and 42 percent of the beer containers were nonreturnable., By 1972, 59 percent of soft drink packages and 77 percent of beer contain- ers were nonreturnable.5 In 1958, 12 billion beverage containers were * Associate Professor of Management, Oregon State University.
