Assistance Type: OTHER WATER QUALITY - Herbicide drums located in Wallowa Lake
 
Details: I was contacted by Casey with the City of Joseph in regards to some recent revelations about herbicide drums being located in Wallowa Lake. Wallowa Lake is the City's primary water source. A recreational diving club had discovered the drums and called it in to DEQ. I suggested the City take a water sample to test for the chemical listed on the drums. I also forwarded DEQ's emergency phone number to report spills and emergencies to the City.
