Please deny water transfer applications T#12028 and T#12029 Each of the signers below completed an individual comment, and each signer should be counted as such. To Oregon Water Resources Department: I am writing to request that the Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) deny water transfer applications 12028 and 12029. These applications are irresponsible steps that would lead to a state agency, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), facilitating Nestlé in securing a water bottling facility in the iconic Columbia River Gorge. Although the application does not directly state that the beneficiary of the transfer will be Nestlé Waters of North America, it is clear that the only reason ODFW has submitted this new water transfer application is because it intends to transfer this water so that it can be sold to Nestlé. It is also very clear that ODFW has chosen the “cross-transfer” of water rights with the City of Cascade Locks solely to eliminate the public interest review, even though, for all intents and purposes, this is a water exchange, pure and simple, and as such requires a public interest review. As an Oregon citizen, I am deeply concerned that a state agency may give away a public water resource so that a corporation can bottle it and profit from it. Oregon’s water is a public resource that should be managed for the benefit of Oregonians. I urge OWRD to deny these applications because of the potentially disastrous results they will have on the community and the sustainability of Oregon’s spring water. Signed,
