Onsite program records project nearing completion

 
DEQ’s Onsite Program is wrapping up an ambitious project to put more than 100,000 files online. The project will benefit real estate professionals, septic installers and homeowners searching for septic records in the counties where DEQ administers its onsite program. The online files provide information on the types, sizes and locations of septic systems across the state and will be free to the public. The program expects to have all files online by the end of March.

The Office of the Public Records Advocate

recently honored 11 state employees who "upheld not only the letter but also the spirit of Oregon's public records law by providing exemplary service to requestors. Employees in two DEQ programs -- Onsite and Air Quality Monitoring -- were recognized. The recipients were nominated by government leaders, members of the public, or members of the media and were recognized with a letter of congratulations from Governor Kate Brown.
