(Salem, OR) -- Oregon Governor Tina Kotek has declared a state of emergency in Morrow and Umatilla counties over wastewater. Heavy rain has caused storage lagoons to reach capacity at the Port of Morrow and they can't accept any more wastewater from food processing and other industrial facilities. If nothing was done, they'd have to shut down and it could have a long range impact on employment. The Governor's declaration allows the wastewater to temporarily be spread on fields in the Lower Umatilla Basin, under certain circumstances, and only through the end of February.
