This page will direct you to a form to report a potential pollutant in your community. The DEQ says: “Reports from Oregonians are an important element of the enforcement of Oregon’s environmental laws. Here are examples of complaints you can submit to DEQ:
- Unusual pollution from a facility
- Mismanagement of asbestos and hazardous waste
- Release of harmful chemicals, pollution or sewage to the ground or water
- Construction or other activity causing a stream or river to become murky
- Illegal dumping site
- Outdoor burning on state-designated non-burn days or burning illegal materials (rubber, plastic, tires, asbestos, food waste)”
FoFF was first founded by neighbors concerned over the potential pollution that could be caused by an industrial chicken farm. Air and water pollution pose serious threats to farms and their surrounding communities. This site and the other links it provides can provide you the tools you need to hold companies polluting your land and community and hold them accountable.
