  • Warm Springs Soil Survey
    United States In cooperation with Department of Confederated Tribes of the Agriculture Warm Springs Reservation; Soil Survey United States Department Natural Resources of the Interior, Bureau of Conservation Indian Affairs; and Oregon of Warm Service Agricultural Experiment Station Springs Indian Reservation, Oregon 3 How to Use This Soil Survey General Soil Map The general soil map, which is the color map preceding the detailed soil maps, shows the survey area divided into groups of associated soils called general soil map units. This map is useful in planning the use and management of large areas. To find information about your area of interest, locate that area on the map, identify the name of the map unit in the area on the color-coded map legend, then refer to the section General Soil Map Units for a general description of the soils in your area. Detailed Soil Maps The detailed soil maps follow the general soil map. These maps can be useful in planning the use and management of small areas. To find information about your area of interest, locate that area on the Index to Map Sheets, which precedes the soil maps. Note the number of the map sheet and turn to that sheet. Locate your area of interest on the map sheet. Note the map units symbols that are in that area. Turn to the Contents, which lists the map units by symbol and name and shows the page where each map unit is described. The Contents shows which table has data on a specific land use for each detailed soil map unit.

The draft permit places conditions on the discharge of pollutants from the wastewater treatment plant to waters of the United States. In order to ensure protection of water quality and human health, the permit places limits on the types and amounts of pollutants that can be discharged from the facility. This Fact Sheet includes: $ information on public comment, public hearing, and appeal procedures $ a listing of proposed effluent limitations, and other conditions for each facility $ a map and description of the discharge locations $ technical material supporting the conditions in each permit 401 Certification for Facilities that Discharge to Tribal Waters EPA is requesting the CTWSRO certify the NPDES permit for the CTWSRO Kah-Nee-Ta Resort under section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The CTWSRO provided preliminary comments prior to the Public Notice, which have been incorporated into the draft permit. Public Comment Persons wishing to comment on, or request a Public Hearing for the draft permit for the facility may do so in writing by the expiration date of the Public Comment period.
