Update: Upper Klamath and Lost River Subbasins Comment Period Extended

As we reported in early February, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) has released a Water Quality Management Plan for the Upper Klamath and Lost River Subbasins for public review and comment.

Due to ongoing drought conditions in the Klamath Basin, DEQ has extended the public comment period by 45 days to May 27, 2010. Additionally, DEQ announced that a public hearing is scheduled for 6 PM on May 12, 2010 at the Oregon Institute of Technology, College Union Auditorium, in Klamath Falls.  More information on the Water Quality Management Plan or Comment Period Extension is available on the DEQ website.
