Updated Source Water Assessment Breitenbush Hot Springs PWS #4193461 December 2018 Prepared for: Breitenbush Hot Springs Prepared by: Department of Environmental Quality Agency Headquarters 700 NE Multnomah Street, Suite 600 Kate Brown, Governor Portland, OR 97232 (503) 229-5696 FAX (503) 229-6124 TTY 711 December 20, 2018 Brad Cleary, System Operator Breitenbush Hot Springs PO Box 578 Detroit, OR 97342 Re: Updated Source Water Assessment for PWS # 4193461 Dear Mr. Cleary, On behalf of the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is pleased to provide your community with important information in this Updated Source Water Assessment. The updated assessment is intended to provide information and resources to assist you and your community to implement local drinking water protection efforts. Since the first source water assessments were completed in 2005, state agencies have significantly expanded analytical capabilities, including more detailed data for analyzing natural characteristics and potential pollutant sources. DEQ is currently completing the updated assessments for surface water systems and OHA is updating the groundwater system assessments. As you know, assuring safe drinking water depends on public water suppliers implementing multiple successful practices. First, protect the drinking water source. Second, practice effective water treatment. Third, conduct regular monitoring for contaminants to assure safety. Fourth, protect the distribution system piping and finished water storage from recontamination. Finally, practice competent water system operation, maintenance, and construction. These practices are collectively called “multiple barrier public health protection”. Source water protection is an important first step because starting with the best possible quality source water helps assure that water treatment can be effective at all times. Source water protection is accomplished by effective state public health programs, environmental protection, land use policies, pro-active land stewardship, and by implementation of local drinking water protection efforts. The susceptibility of the public drinking water system source depends on both the natural conditions in the watershed as well as the anthropogenic activities in the watershed. This letter, with attached figures and technical information, constitutes your Updated Source Water Assessment. It supplements your original Source Water Assessment (link here: http://www.deq.state.or.us/wq/dwp/swrpts.asp ). One of the most important assets a public water system can have is accurate source water area mapping and visual resources to share with the community citizens and officials. The figures include a new regional map view of your watershed, topographic basemap with the source area delineated, and maps with natural characteristics, anthropogenic land uses, potential sources of pollutants, and historic landslides. Information on anthropogenic land uses in a drinking water source area is important for evaluating potential pollutant sources and working with stakeholders upstream. Tables are provided that include a summary of the types of potential pollutant sources present in your drinking water source area. There are also a variety of resources included in this document to assist you with drinking water source protection efforts. Appendix #1 provides a summary of how to use the information provided in the assessment to move forward to develop and implement source water protection. Appendix #3 lists websites and resources available to public water systems and community members seeking technical assistance for work on watershed protection. Appendix #4 provides brief descriptions and contact information for grants and loans to fund both drinking water infrastructure and source protection projects. State agency resources are available to help you with mapping and information needs. Larger sizes of the source area maps and more details of landslide potential and other natural characteristics are available for you upon request (contact Julie Harvey at 503-229-5664). DEQ is currently developing “Resource Guides” with more extensive information to assist public water systems in protecting their source waters. The Surface Water Resource Guide is posted at http://www.oregon.gov/deq/wq/programs/Pages/dwp.aspx. For direct assistance and/or additional information regarding watershed protection, call Julie Harvey at DEQ (503-229-5664). For more information on drinking water policies and procedures, call Casey Lyon at OHA (541-726-2587).

    Breitenbush 2017

    The Center for Conscious Eldering Invites you to participate in ! CHOOSING CONSCIOUS ELDERHOOD Discovering purpose, passion and the call to service in the elder third of life ! June 25 - July 1, 2017 At Breitenbush Hot Springs Retreat Center near Salem and Portland, Oregon ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! It is in the natural world that we can most easily remember that which is authentic and natural in ourselves, and thus gain an eagle’s eye view of our place and potential in the larger web of life. That is why, since time immemorial, at critical turning points in life, people have retreated to wilderness places to focus and intensify their inner questing and then return to their communities renewed and with new insight about how best to contribute in the next stages of their lives. That is why many individuals feeling called to prepare for and claim the role of elder have chosen to experience the Choosing Conscious !Elderhood retreats over the past fourteen years. There is a big difference between simply becoming old and aging consciously--aging with intent. This retreat, for people in or approaching their senior years (50+), provides a dynamic experiential introduction to conscious aging and the types of inner work that are important on the path toward becoming a conscious elder. Such an elderhood is a role that is consciously chosen and grown into through preparation at all levels—physical, psychological and spiritual. We invite you to join us for an inspiring week amid the great beauty of this historic hot springs retreat in Oregon’s forested
  • Breitenbush Hot Springs Is One of Oregon's Oldest Worker Owned

    Breitenbush Hot Springs Is One of Oregon's Oldest Worker Owned

    Breitenbush Hot Springs is one of Oregon’s oldest worker owned cooperatives. Located 1.5 hours east of Salem, Breitenbush is nestled in a quiet valley that happens to be one of the most geothermally active areas on the west coast. Academics estimate that our piece of land has been continuously inhabited by humans for thousands of years. Breitenbush is not normal. We are both a business and an intentional community. Our 70+ staff and 35,000 guest per year draw on a deep sense of purpose and collective ownership, not conventional measures of wealth. We are looking for a bookkeeping maven who feels the same way. If you’ve ever wanted to live in the forest, in community, and have bookkeeping chops, let’s talk! Important Note on Compensation: Let’s cut to one of the most unusual parts of Breitenbush: almost everybody at Breitenbush makes the same amount of money. Currently that’s $9.75 per hour, Oregon minimum wage. That will go up to $10.25 per hour on July 1, 2017. For the sake of transparency, it should be noted that there are a couple of exceptions to this rule. For example, the three managing directors (Business Director, Marketing Director, and Finance Director) make $14.79 per hour. However, for the right candidate, our compensation package is very rich. Though it is hard to measure, many of us that live and work here relate to the total compensation package as feeling closer to $20/hour. Below is a list of benefits. Benefits: • Free housing • Free utilities (including long distance phone and high speed internet) • Employer covered health care with a healthcare reimbursement account (all premiums paid by the cooperative and very low deductibles) • Dental Care (100% premium covered by employer) • Long term disability insurance (after one year) • Very generous vacation package (Paid, Wellness, Birthday, and extended leaves) • Meals & Organic groceries at cost (including a free meal once a week and free leftovers from our commercial kitchen) • Discounted massages • Household items (Dr.

    Transitioning to Sustainable Urban Development: a Niche-Based Approach

    TRANSITIONING TO SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT: A NICHE-BASED APPROACH BY ROBERT HARVEY BOYER DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Regional Planning in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Brian Deal, Chair and Director of Research Professor Faranak Miraftab Professor Robert Olshansky Professor Ramona Oswald Assistant Professor Gale Fulton Abstract Solving the ‘wicked’ and ‘persistent’ environmental problems of the twenty-first century will require changes in the social and technological structures that guide urban development. While modern planning offers a century’s worth of solutions to environmental problems at the local scale, many of these ‘first-order’ solutions exacerbate problems at larger scales (e.g. sprawl, auto dependency, climate change). Change of the ‘second-order’ is necessary to address problems such as climate change, energy scarcity, and the destruction of finite ecosystems. The Multi-Level Perspective of Socio-Technical Systems (MLP) claims that ‘second order’ structural change is resisted by socio-technical regimes—a tangle of mutually reinforcing rules, physical structures, and social networks. While regimes are critical for day-to-day functioning in a complex world, the regime structures that guide urban development in North America have resulted in human settlements that consume life-supporting resources faster than they can replenish, and result
