Lakeside Landfill Update
DEQ has issued a closing permit to the Lake Reclamation Landfill. This landfill is on the banks of the Tualatin River, directly upstream from the Refuge. It has a history of accepting harmful and illegal substances and was recently caught discharging water directly into a creek that empties into the Tualatin River. The Friends is monitoring the situation and will take action where needed. Visit often for updates.
