Geographic Information System (GIS)

Our self service GIS map displays the approximate locations of our Agency's wastewater infrastructure. Sewer lines are shown alongside tax lot lines over a simple aerial photo basemap.

The web app includes a measurement tool that can be useful to measure approximate distances to/from wastewater features. Use the 'Find Address or Place' tool to zoom to a specific address/location.

Submitting Plans to DEQ

Engineering plans and specifications for proposed construction, installation, or modification of wastewater disposal systems, treatment works, sewerage systems or common sewers must be submitted to DEQ for review and approval prior to construction, except where exempted. This is required by Oregon Revised Statute 468B.055. OAR 340-052-0015 details plan submittal requirements. OAR 340-052 Appendix A and Appendix B contain requirements for gravity sewerage systems and sewerage pumping stations, respectively.

Send the following to the Northwest Region DEQ Wastewater Plan Engineer, Michael Pinney: 

• Plans and specifications. Note: electronic versions are acceptable.​
• Land Use Compatibility Statement, or LUCS, signed by the local land use authority, along with payment, to the engineer. Note: electronic versions are acceptable.  
• DEQ Technical Activities fee in OAR 340-045. DEQ can invoice the system owner if that is the owner’s preference.
