Thank you all for updating the spreadsheet with information pertaining to the municipalities in your district that have
instituted Let Run Advisories this winter. The complete spreadsheet can be found here. | realize you have been working
closely with many of these facilities like we normally do, but there is also some legislative interest in this topic and there
was a legislative hearing last week that focused on these advisories. We'd like to remain proactive in our
communications with these municipalities to inform them of their permit obligations and encourage them to contact us
if they anticipate any problems. Attached, and also located with the spreadsheet, is a draft email that we should use to
send to those facilities we anticipate will have problems. Please discuss this with your staff and have them send this
email to their contacts at these facilities in the next week or so. We have discussed this strategy with Jim Sygo, Maggie

ODWMaA District Supervisor and district engineer on communications to keep them informed as weil. Thanks.
