Iam also-a certified Field ‘Training Officer with the Oregon State Police PURPOSE Tam investigating allegations that American Linen — ‘Steiner Corporation (ALSCO) and ‘the company's Chief Engineer, Rod Baker, and former Chief Engineer, Dan Maclit, intentionally 16] altered the company’s waste discharge water by dilution and the addition of hydrogen Peroxide, 17) in violation of ALSCO’s pre-treatment plan and their City of Portland Industrial. Wastewater Discharge Permit, have set forth facts ofthis investigation forthe purpose of securing a search watrant to “earch, sample, seize, document and analyze physical evidence related terminal acts under 22)" investigation that are believed to have been committed by Den Marit, 231 located at the facility and on the premises of American Linen-Steiner Corporation (ALSCO); 74) Iocated at 1441 N. Columbia Boulevard, Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, andthe person oFRod Baker. Ihave not included exch and every fact known to me conceming this investigation but have set forth the facts that are necessary to establish Probable cause to believe that criminal eis in violation of Oregon Revised Statute(s) (ORSs) have occurred in Multnomah County, Oregon, including ORS 468.943, Unlawful Water Pollution in the Second Degree; ORS 468.953, Supplying False Information to Agency and ORS 165.080, Falsifying Business Records, Talso have set forth the facts to reasonably show that evidence pertinent to the investigation of these 11.5 ~ 12.5 for a total duration of more than 15 minutes in any calendar day. . pH excursions > 12.5 for a total duration of more than 5 minutes in any calendar day. c. pH excursions less than 5.0 regardless of duration during a calendar day. Bach occurrence shall be reported with the date, time, duration and the maximum or minimum pH excursion reached. The monthly report shall contain the total time (in minutes) that the pH was outside the limits set in Schedule A. ‘The permittee is required to continue using a strip-chart-recording pH meter for continuous pH recording of any other pH control system recorder that meets with City approval. A daily record shall be kept for each day of plant operation, excluding those days when there is no process activity. The records shall be maintained and must be available for direct review or photo duplication by City representatives, if required, 77. Treviewed Schedule A of ALSCO’s permit. The allowable daily limits for pH set in Schedule A of the ALSCO permit is a low of 5.0 standard units (su) and a high of 11.Ssu In Schedule A of ALSCO’s permit, BES identifies pH as a “pollutant of concer.” 78, talked with MeDaniel from the BES on September 10, 2014, about the pH requirements outlined in ALSCO’s permit. He toid me that per the permit, ALSCO is required to use a pH meter capable of taking and keeping readings. MeDaniel said disabling the recording device, leting the recording device run out of paper, or not maintaining the pH recordings for periodic review, individually or as a combined action, constitutes a violation of the BES issued permit. He said without having the recorded readings to review, ALSCO cannot accurately certify it has been in compliance with the pH conditions ofits permit. 79. I reviewed Schedule E of ALSCO’s permit, Schedule E is subtitled General Conditions. On page E6, of ALSCO’s permit, there is a Records Retention section that reads as follows: All records of monitoring activities and results, including all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation (and calibration and Page 24 of 23, maintenance records), shall be retained by the permittee for a minimum of three years. This retention period shall be extended during the course of any unresolved litigation pertaining to the discharge of pollutants by the permittee, or whenever it is requested by the City, the Approval Authority (DEQ), or the Regional Administrator (EPA). 80. McDaniel also told me ALSCO periodically takes grab samples of its effluent and evaluates it for pH as part of its self-monitoring report. McDaniel said Rod Baker is the company official that certifies the self-monitoring report for ALSCO. McDaniel said the periodic grab sample, even if it falls in ALSCO’s allowable permit range of between 5.0 and 11.5 su, does not alleviate ALSCO from maintaining and evaluating the daily pH readings otherwise required by the permit to ensure the basic City thonitoring and requirements are met. 81. On page E2 of ALSCO’s permit, there is a Certification section that reads as follows: Legible copies of all applications, reports, and information submitted to the City shall be signed and certified as follows in accordance with 40 CFR 403.12. certify under penalty of law that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in accordance with a system designed {o assure that qualified personnel properly gather and evaluate the information submitted. Based on my inguiry of the person or persons who manage the system, or those persons directly responsible for gathering the information, the information submitted is, o the best of my knowledge and belief, true, accurate, and complete. Lam aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the possibility of fine and imprisonment for knowing violations. 2 re 82. After receiving Grubb’s last image of the dry erase board which indicated that a waste water test would be conducted on September 10, 2014, I asked Grubb who wrote the note on the board, Grubb said he suspects an engineer's assistant named Tyson Gryffin wrote the note after receiving a text from Rod Baker to do so. Grubb said that Baker is known to text engineers at ALSCO on work-related issues. Grubb told me that he has sent text messages to Baker, and received texts from Baker, in the course of his employment at ALSCO. 83. On September 18, 2014, I asked Grubb what cellular phone number Rod Baker uses to send and receive text messages to/from the engineers. Grubb told me Baker uses his personal cell phone and provided the number as (503) 438-8829. Page 22 of 23 84. On September 18, 2014, Downard provided me with a second skeich of the facility, The sketch shows the location of the two bypass valves used by the engineers to engage and disengage “smoke and mirrors” at in the “wash alley” at ALSCO. ‘The sketch also shows the location of the pH meter in the Boiler Room.

PURPOSE Lam investigating allegations that American Linen — Steiner Corporation (ALSCO) and ‘the company’s Chief Engineer, Rod Baker, and former Chief Engineer, Dan Marlitt, intentionally altered the company’s waste discharge water by dilution and the addition of hydrogen peroxide, in violation of ALSCO’s pre-treatment plan and their City of Portland Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit. Thave set forth facts of this investigation for the purpose of securing a search warrant to search, sample, seize, document and analyze physical evidence related to criminal acts under investigation that are believed to have been committed by Dan Marlitt, Rod Baker and ALSCO located at the facility and on the premises of American Linen-Steiner Corporation (ALSCO);, located at 1441 N. Columbia Boulevard, Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, and the person of Rod Baker. I have not included each and every fact known to me conceming this investigation ‘but have set forth the facts that are necessary to establish probable cause to believe that criminal tw & Soe aay acts in violation of Oregon Revised Siatute(s) (ORSs) have occurred in Multnomah County, Oregon, including ORS 468.943, Unlawful Water Pollution in the Second Degree; ORS 468.953, Supplying False Information to Agency and ORS 165.080, Falsifying Business Records. [also have set forth the facts to reasonably show that evidence pertinent to the investigation of these ctimes will be located at American Linen-Steiner Corporation (ALSCO) located at 1441 N. Columbia Boulevard, Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon. ‘The facts set forth in this affidavit are based on knowledge obtained from my review of an affidavit written by Special Agent (SA) Eric Martenson; who I know to be employed as a Special Agent with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Criminal Investigations Division, and from conversations I have had with SA Martenson; Said affidavit is incorporated herein as Appendix A to this affidavit. LEGAL BACKGROUND Based on my review of Oregon Administrative Rules, Oregon State Statutes, Portland City Code and my training and experience, | know the following: ‘Pknow that in order to restore and maintain the quality of public waters and to protect the. public health and general weltare ofthe people ofthe State of Oregons under the authority of ORS 468.020. The Environmental Quality Commission (EQC) adopts rules listed in Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) Chapter 340, Division 45, Regulations Pertaining to NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) and WPCE (Water Pollution Control Facility) Permits to perform the functions required under ORS 468B. Tknow OAR 340-045-0010(12), Definitions, states: (12) NPDES Permit means a waste discharge permit issued in accordance with the National Poltutant Discharge Blimination System authorized by the Federal Act and OAR Chapter 340, division 045. Row Boe wa Tknow the City of Portland operates two wastewater treatment facilities which receive wastewater from both domestic and industrial sources. The City of Portland is allowed to operate these treatment facilities under a valid NPDES permit issued by the DEQ under OAR 340, division 045, The City of Portland’s NPDES permit, #70725, under Schedule Es Pretreatment, Part 6; Control Mechanisms is required to regulate discharges from significant industrial users. T know Chapter 17.34 of the Portland City Code regulates industrial discharge.to the City’s wastewater treatment facilities. I know Portland City Code 17.34,070, requires industrial users obtain Industrial ‘Wastewater Discharge Permits if they meet the criteria of the City's Code. Linow Portland City Code 17.34.050, states that the Industrial Wastewater Discharge Permit generally requires the industrial user to reduce the amount of pollutants in its wastewater by installing or modifying a pretreatment facility. I know the permit issued fo Steiner Corp-ALSCO, by the City of Portland, Permit # 400-167 ;,under Schedule’ B; Monitoring and Reporting Requirements; requires that the industrial user monitor the amount of pollutants in their discharge and report the results; representative of their wastewater discharge, to the City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services (BES), at prescribed intervals, I know OAR 340-045-0015(4), states: that while a person discharging wastes into a sewerage system is not required to obtain a DEQ pemnit if the owner of the sewerage system has a valid NPDES permit, they must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding water pollution. This nule is adopted under the statutory authority of ORS 468.202, 468.020 and 468B.035, Tknow that ORS 468.943, Unlawful Water Pollution in the Second Degree; states: (1) A person commits the offense of unlawful water pollution in the second degree if the person with criminal negligence violates ORS chepter 468B or any rule, standard, license, permit or order adopted or issued under ORS chapter 468B. (2) Subject to ORS 153.022, Unlawful Water Pollution in the Second Degree is a Class misdemeanor. Tknow ORS 468.953 Supplying False Information to Agency, states: (1) A person commits the-crime of supplying false information to any agency if the person: (a) Makes any faise material statement, representation or certification knowing it to be faise, in any application, notice, plan, record, report or other document requited by any provision of ORS chapter 465, 466,468, 4684 or 468B or any rule adopted pursuant to ORS chapter 465, 466,468, 468A or 4688; (b) Omits any material or required information, knowing it to be required, from any document described in paragraph (a) of this subsection; ot (c) Alters, conceals or fails to file or maintain any document described in paragraph (a) of this subsection in knowing violation of any provision of ORS chapter 465, 466, 468, 468A or 468B or any rule adopted, pursuant to ORS chapter-465; 466; 468: 468. or 468B. (2) Supplying false information is.a.Class.C.felony. Tknow that ORS 165.080, Falsifying Business Records, states: (1) A person commits the crime of falsifying business records if, with intent to defraud, the person: (a) Makes or causes a false entry in the business records of an enterprise; or (¢) Fails to make a true entry in the business records of an enterprise in violation of a known duty imposed upon the person by law or by the nature of the position of the person; or (d) Prevents the making of a true entry or causes the omission thereof in the business records of an enterprise. (2) Falsifying business records is a Class A misdemeanor. aa w ee FACTS On September 8, 2014, I met with SA Erie Martenson with the U.S. EPA, I know that SA Martenson is assigned to the Criminal Investigations Division of the U.S. BPA and is responsible for investigating environmental crimes. J also know that SA Martenson has been employed in this capacity for 1L years. SA Martenson provided to me his notarized affidavit setting forth the facts he had observed during his investigation of American Linen ~ Steiner Corporation (ALSCO); incorporated herein as Appendix A to this affidavit, Thave confirmed through the Oregon Secretary of State website that ALSCO is still an activé assumed buisiness name in the State of Oregon, with an Authorized Representative of Steve Larson in Salt Lake City, Utah, and a Registrant of the Steiner Corporation. On March 14, 2010, ALSCO changed its listed Principal Place of Business to 505 E South Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah. However, prior to that date, ALSCO listed its Principal Place of Business as 1441 N Columbia Boulevard in Portland, Oregon. Thavve vonfirmed through the website PortlandMaps.com that the property location of 1441 N. Columbia Boulevard is still owned by Steiner Corp and ALSCO INC. Thave reviewed the BES Wastewater Discharge Permit for Steiner Corp-ALSCO, permit 4.400.167. ‘The plant type is listed as a Commercial Linen Laundry, with a site address of 1441 N. Columbia Boulevard, Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, 97217. Thave conducted a Law Enforcement Data System/National Crime Index Center {LEDS/NCIC) search on each of the following subjects identified by SA Martenson in his affidavit. Daniel Marlit, date of birth 2/19/48, has no Computerized Criminal History (CCH) and possesses a valid State of Washington driver's license. Robert Grubb, date of birth 11/19/66, holds a valid Oregon driver's license and is listed as having applied for a concealed weapons permit in 1992. Robert Grubb does not have a CCH. Shaun Shatto, date of birth 12/02/66, holds a valid Oregon driver’ license andi sted in LEDS as baving a 1992 charge of menacing with no complaint filed. Paul Downard, date of birth 10/01/66, possesses a valid Oregon driver's license, and is listed as having been convieted of Harassment in 1988, with dismissed charges of Assault IV, Possession of controlled substance, Use of invalid operator’s license and Failure to pay a fine for Pailute to carry an operator's license. Rodiney Baker, date of birth 03/23/64, possesses a valid Oregon driver's license. Rodney Baker is also listed in LEDS/NCIC as a Registered Sex Offender with x 1997 conviction for Felony Criminal Sexual Misconduct in the 2" Degree in Michigan. SA Martenson provided me with an enforcement history for ALSCO, provided to him, and maintained byBES! ALSCO -has 5 enforcement actions against their Portland facility,.cs0s between 2001 and 2010, for exceeding its allowable wastewater parameters for oil and grease on 3 occasions, for filing a late report on 1 occasion and for exceeding the allowable pH in its wastewater on 1 occasion, SA Martenson also told me that Wes McDaniel with the BES told him, that ALSCO received a notice of violation from the BES for exceeding its ellowable limit for oil and grease on July 30, 2014. I know from SA Martenson’s attached affidavit that peroxide was added to the wastewater discharge at ALSCO, the company limited the washing of shop rags at the facility wk wn an during sampling days and that the recycled water (water reuse) system was tumed off at the company’s washers to ereate dilution of the wastewater discharge. 1 also know from the aforementioned facts that dilution is specifically prohibited in ALSCO’s industrial Wastewater permit, the addition of peroxide is not a prescribed pretreatment step in ALSCO’s pretreatment plan; and further, these acts do not provide a representative wastewater sample for regulatory purposes; as required in ALSCO’s Industrial Wastewater permit. [know from my training, experience, and the aforementioned information from SA Martenson, that it is common for businesses to keep records of their supply purcbases such as receipts, bills and invoices: These purchases can include chemical reagents used in the pretreatment process as well as pumps, meters, filters and other hardware used by a business.to. conduct its pretreatment work. T know from my training and experience that businesses commonly keep records of their employees’ contact information, terms of employment, training and credentials and disciplinary proceedings. Tknow:that these documents are commonly kept atthe facilities for reference by, the employees.and managers: 1 know from the aforementioned information provided by SA Martenson that ALSCO completes their own intemal documents reflecting their water use such as the Reuse Water Make-up Report. These documents corroborate the increased water use caused by dilution from shutting off the recycled water system on the washing machines on test days. know from my training. experience, and the aforementioned information from SA Martenson, that it is common for individuals working for a company or department to communicate both in person, on the phone and by electronic means such as emails and text messages. ew aw 26 27 Based upon my training and experience, itis common for owners and employees of a business to use digital devices for the generation and storage of business-related records, including billing invoices, bid solicitations, contracts, and inspection records, as well as email accounts used to transmit "Digital devices” which includes any electronic device capable of processing andior storing data in digital form, including, but not limited to: central processing units, laptop or notebook computers, peripheral input/output devices such as keyboards, printers, scanners, plotters, monitors, and drives intended for removable media, related communications devices such as modems, cables and connections, electronie storage media (such as bard disks, floppy disks, diskettes, compact discs, CD-ROMs, DVDs; optical discs, Zip cartridges, thumb drives, printer buffers, smart cards, or electronic notebooks, or any other storage medium), and clectronieidigital security devices wireless communication devices such as telephone paging devices, beepers, mobile or cellular telephones, smart phones, personal data assistants (“PDAS”), iPods/iPads, Blackberries, digital cameras, digital gaming devices I know from my training and experience that in erder to completely and accurately retrieve data maintained. in computer hardware and computer-related documentation, 9 insure, accuracy and completeness of such data, and to prevent the loss of the data either from accidental or programmed destruction, it is often necessary that such computer equipment be processed by a qualified computer specialist in a laboratory setting T know that the Northwest Regional Computer Forensic Laboratory (hezein after referred toes RCFL), Portland, OR, is staffed with individuals who are specially trained and certified in the retrieval of electronic records from computers, phone and other electronic equipment, and are capable of imaging these devices for the purpose of analyzing the documents stored on them RCFL employees will be accompanying us on the warrant to assist with the search, seizure and ‘analysis of computerized and electronic records, specifically emails between ALSCO employees 2| and ALSCO’s analytical lab (APEX). 3 know that SA Martenson with the US EPA has specific knowledge related to the 4) aforementioned facts of this case as well as knowledge of the Federal Clean Water Act and 5) oregon Revised Statutes related to Water Pollution, Therefore, SA Martenson and other EPA ; Special Agents will be accompanying us on the warrant fo assist with this investigation ‘i [mow from my training and experience that the DEQ also employs individuals in their 9) Laboratory and Environmental Assessment Division, who are trined and experienced in the 10| collection, analysis and identification of chemicals, such as Natural Resource Specialist Thomas 11) Lossen. ‘Therefore, employees from the DEQ Laboretory and Environmental Assessment a Division will be accompanying us on the warrant to assist with sampling the contents of the = peroxide barrel and any other potential chemicals. rc | know thatthe Portland BES has employees with specific training and experience related 16| to Industrial Wastewater permits and pretreatment programs.

Ble cue, their CIRCUM COURT JUDGE AMY HOLMES HEHNN APPENDIX A. SWORN AFFIDAVIT. I, Erie Martenson, being first duly swom, hereby depose and state as follows: INTRODUCTION AND AGENT BACKGROUND Tam a Special Agent with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Criminal Investigation Division. Ihave been a Special Agent with the EPA Criminal Investigation Division (CID) since October of 2002. Prior to my employment with the EPA CID, I was an Active Duty Officer of the United States Coast Guard from 1997 until 2002. Tam 21997 graduate of the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, CT, where I graduated with a B.S. in Government, I am also a 1998 graduate of the United States Coast Guard’s Maritime Law Enforcement Boarding Officer School. I am a graduate of the nine- ‘week Criminal Investigator Training Program and the nine week Environmental Investigation Basic Program held at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. During the course of my duties at EPA CID, | investigate those individuals and companies that commit egregious violations of environmental laws and regulations. | have also written affidavits for search ‘warrants and participated in search warrants in an effort to fitid évidence of criminal activities. 1 am currently employed as the Resident Agent in Charge for the EPA CID Resident Office in Portland, OR. HA i 2. Asa Special Agent for EPA CID, I am authorized to conduct investigations of alleged violations of federal environmental statutes, including the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, Title 33, United States Code, Section 1251 et seg., as amended, commonly referred to as the Clean Water Act (CWA), and other Federal laws including Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001 (False Statements), Title 18, United States Code, Section 1341 (Mail/Wire Fraud), and Title 18, United States Code, Section 371 (Conspiracy). 3. Thave been conducting an investigation into the illegal practice of adding chemicals to an industrial discharge, and otherwise adjusting an industrial discharge, which feeds into the City of Portland’s Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) sewer system. The practices are alleged to have occurred at a permitted discharge point in violation of a BES Page 1 of 23, issued CWA discharge permit to a large industrial laundry named American Linen — Steiner Corporation, also known as ALSCO. The ALSCO facility is located at 1441 N. Columbia Blvd, Portland, Oregon 97217. ALSCO hes a current wastewater discharge permit, No, 400.167, with, the City of Portland’s BES. 4 ‘The facts set forth in this affidavit are based on my personal knowledge, knowledge obtained during my participation in this investigation from other individuals, including other law enforcement officers, my review of documents and records related to this investigation, communications with others who have personal knowledge of the events and circumstances described herein, and information gained through my training and experience. Because this affidavit is submitted for the limited purpose of establishing probable cause in support of the application for a search warrant, it does not set forth each and every fact that I or others have learned during the course of this investigation. PURPOSE OF AFFIDAVIT This affidavit is made in support of an application for a search warrant to search, sample, seize, document, and analyze physical evidence at the facility and on the premises of American Linen - Steiner Corporation (ALSCO) located at 1441 North Columbia Blvd, Poriland, Multnomah County, Oregon. For the reasons contained herein, J have probable cause to believe there is evidence that ALSCO has knowingly violated the Clean Water Act by © discharging a non-representative effluent into the City of Portiand’s publically owned sewer system in violation of the BES issued discharge permit, in violation of 33 U.S.C. § 1319. CLEAN WATER ACT STATUTORY and REGULATORY FRAMEWORK 6. The Clean Water Act (CWA) was originally passed as the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. §§ 1251 et seq. Itestablishes a regulatory control program to restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the nation’s waters, The heart of the CWA is the total prohibition of all discharges of any pollutant from point sources, including pipes and ditches, into waters of the United States, unless permitted and within certain limits. 33 US.C. § 13110) Page 2 of 23, 7. To meet the objective of the CWA, a pretreatment program was developed by EPA that regulates Industrial Users that discharge into Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs). ‘The pretreatment program protects the operation of the POTW and prevents the discharge of pollutants which pass through or interfere with a POTW without receiving. adequate treatment. The federal regulations governing the CWA pretreatment program are codified at Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 403, These regulations «establish “general prohibition standards” (40 CFR § 403.5) and also include “specific prohibition standards.” 40 CFR § 403.5(b) (8), 8 The term “pretreatment” refers to the reduction, elimination, or alteration in the nature of the pollutant content of wastewater prior to the discharge of such wastewater to the POTW. 40 CFR § 403.3¢q). 9, The term “pollutants” is defined under the Act to include sewage, garbage, sewage sludge, chemical wastes, biological materials, and industrial, municipal and agricultural, waste, 33 U.S.C. § 1362(6). 10. The primary means for regulating the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States is through the issuance of permits in accordance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) by the Permitting Authority pursuant to 33 U.S.C. § 1342. A State can be the Permitting Authority if such State has a NPDES program approved by the BPA, 11. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between EPA and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) was approved September 26; 1973, to establish the state’s environmental agency. On March 2, 1979, EPA approved a modification of that Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) which transferred to DEQ the authority to regulate federal facilities under the NPDES program, In addition, there were two other modifications to the 1973 MOA: (1) DEQ received the pretreatment program authority on March 12, 1981; and (2) DEQ received the general permit program authority on February 23, 1982, On April 13, 2010, EPA's Region 10 Administrator signed the most recent MOA, replacing all other previous NPDES MOAs and MOA amendments between DEQ and EPA previously entered into, 12, NPDES permits are issued by the DEQ upon application and aeceptance of specific terms and conditions, such as wastewater effluent limitations, that are set forth in the pennits, Wastewater "effluent" is generally defined as the waters that are discharged from a Page 3 of 23 sewage treatment plant after the in-flowing sewage, or “influent,” has been treated. NPDES permits typically establish limitations on the amounts and concentrations of pollutants that a person may discharge to the receiving waterway. Such permits also typically include requirements governing sampling and analysis of wastewater, reporting and record keeping. 13. One major source of water pollution comes from POTWs, which receive and treat wastewater generated by industrial, commercial and domestic facilities served by the POTW. In most cases, wastewater is introduced to a POTW through a collection (sewer) system. Afier treating the influent, a POTW discharges the effluent to a receiving waterway. Since the treatment process is not 100 percent complete, some water pollutants remain in the effluent. Therefore, like any other facility discharging effluent to a receiving waterway, the CWA requires that POTWs discharge wastewater only in accordance with the terms of an NPDES permit 14... A POTW’s ability to operate effectively (and, therefore, comply with its NPDES permit) depends in large measure upon the nature and quantity of the wastewater introduced fo the POTW. In particular, certain pollutants may: (A) be capable of evading treatment and thus move directly through the POTW and into the receiving waterway (a phenomenon known as pass-through”); or (B) disrupt the POTW’s treatment process, thereby causing other pollutants to be discharged to the receiving waterway without proper treatment (a phenomenon known as “interference” 15... In recognition of this fact, the CWA authorizes EPA to promulgate “pretreatment” standards feglating the introduction of pollutants to POTWs. 33 US.C§ 1317(b) and (c). These regulations are known as “pretreatment” regulations because they regulate wastewater prior to its eventual treatment at the POTW. EPA’s federal pretreatment regulations impose requirements on both POTWs and any “industrial user” (IU). The terms “industrial User” and “User” are identically defined to mean “a source of Indirect Discharge.” 40 CER § 403.3(h). The terms “Indirect Discharge” and “Discharge” are both defined to mean “the introduction of pollutants into the POTW from any non-domestic source regulated under Section [1317(b), (c) or (d)] of the [CWA]? that introduces pollutants to the POTW. 40 CFR $403.3(g), 16. BPA’s pretreatment regulations require that any POTW (or combination of POTWs opersied by the same authority) with a total design flow of greater than 5 million Page 4 of 23, gallons per day (“mgd”) and which receive from IUs pollutants that pass-through, interfere or are otherwise subject to categorical standards must establish a pretreatment program. 40 CFR § 403.8, 17, The POTW’s pretreatment program must be such that it provides the POT V with comprehensive regulatory powers to control the introduction of pollutants to the POTW. See 40 CER § 403.8( (setting forth required elements for POTW programs), POTWs most often achieve this control by enacting an enforceable sewer ordinance. However, POTWs are also required to issue permits (or some other individual control mechanism) to each “significant industrial user” (“STU”), 40 CFR § 403.8(1)(1)(i).

The BES is required by the general pretreatment regulations to establish a federally-enforceable pretreatment program. See 40 CFR § 403.8(a). Per EPA regulations, BES Page 5 of 23 developed a pretreatment program and submitted it to the DEQ, which has authority under the general pretreatment regulations to act es the “approval authority” for POTW pretreatment programs in the State of Oregon. The DEQ approved BES’s pretreatment program on March 3, 1983. 21. ‘The CWA provides that “[a}fter the effective date of any effluent standard or prohibition or pretreatment standard promulgsted under this section, it shall be unlawful for any ‘owner or operator of any source to operate any source in violation of any such effluent standard or prohibition or pretreatment standard,” 33 U.S.C. § 1317(d). Thus, any violation of a pretreatment standard is a violation of Section 1317 of the CWA. 22. BES’s approved program, the City of Portland’s Sanitary Discharge Ordinance (“Ordinance”), City Code Chapter 17.34, gives the BES direction and authority to administer Portland’s sanitary and combined sewer discharge regulations and the city’s Industrial Pre- ‘Treatment Permit Program. 23, The approved program, as required by 40 CFR § 403.8(f)(1)(ii), includes the authority to issue permits to TUs that require compliance with Federal, State and local standards. ‘These NPDES permits require the BES to manage discharges to the POTW. In 1982, Portland began permitting industrial users and requiring them to pretreat wastewater discharged to the sewer system, INVESTIGATION SUMMARY 24. On June 20, 2014, Wesley McDaniel, a Permit Manager in the Pollution Prevention Permit Section at BES told me he had met with a former ALSCO maintenance engineer named Paul Downard. MeDaniel said Downard had been instructed by his supervisor to add nydrogen peroxide to the effluent on days the BES sampled ALSCO’s wastewater and on days ALSCO sampled its own wastewater, MeDaniel showed me dated notes provided to hin by Downard instructing him to add hydrogen peroxide to the effluent stream and tum off the plant's water re-use system. 25. On August 14, 2014, McDaniel told me ALSCO elects to sample its own. ‘wastewater monthly, McDaniel told me the BES calculates a discharge risk analysis (DRA) for large industrial users including ALSCO. He said the BES determined that because ALSCO is Page 6 of 23 an Extra Strength Industrial User that discharges approximately 70,000 gallons of wastewater daily to the POTW, its DRA requires monthly testing by the BES 26. On July 1, 2014, interviewed Downard. Downard told me he worked at ALSCO for approximately six and a half years as a maintenance engineer. Upon starting work at ALSCO, he worked for Dan Marlitt, ALSCO’s Chief Engineer. He said Marlitt showed him how to set up the hydrogen peroxide pump and turn off the water re-use system within the first month of his employment, Downard said Marlitt, and the engineers who worked for him, called the process “smoke and mirrors.” Downard said Marlitt retired a few years ago, but his replacement Rod Baker, continues to employ “smoke and mirrors” on sample days. Downard said Baker fired him in late May 2014 for installing a speaker wire and not admitting to it when asked. 27. On July 1, 2014, Tinterviewed Rob Grubb, another ALSCO engineer introduced tome by Downard. Grubb said he wanted to be interviewed because he thought highly of Paul Downard. Grubb is currently employed as a maintenance engineer at ALSCO: he has been employed by ALSCO in that same capacity for the last seven years. Grubb said he has been instructed to set up “smoke and mirrors” the entire duration of his employment by Chief Engineers Dan Marlit and Rod Baker. Grubb said the engineer setting up “smoke and misrors” has to ensuze the hydrogen peroxide pump is on and the ALSCO’s water re-use system is off Grabb said Marlit gave the instructions vie a hand-written note. He said Baker gives the signal tosetup “smoke and mirrors” by writing what day a. wastewater test will be on a dry.erase board: Grubb estimates he sét up “smoke and mirvors” at least 20 times during’his*eniployment at ALSCO 28, interviewed Grubb and Downard separately on July 1, 2014. Both engineers told me the same process for setting up “smoke and mirrors” at ALSCO on BES test days, Which was described as follows: a. The BES arrives in « marked vehicle during daylight hours to install a sampling device in a manhole in the parking lot in front of ALSCO. Per the instruetion of the Chief Engineer, one of the desk workers in the front office contacts the Chief Engineer to tell him the BES is on site upon sighting the vehicle. Page 7 of 23 29) Upon receiving the notice from the front office worker(s), the Chief Engineer tells the engineers that a wastewater test is being conducted the next day by writing a note or by announcing the test on a dry erase board. ‘The engineer who sets up “smoke and mirrors” turns off the water re-use system typically employed by ALSCO on a non-test day; this step involves the turning of some valves. The engineer also has to turn on a small pump which carries hydrogen peroxide from a plastic barrel in “wash alley” and deposits it in a trough in the floor that carries the wastewater out of the facility to the POTW. ‘The Chief Engineer also alerts the Production Manager and/or the Assistant Production Manager that the BES is testing wastewater. This notification to Production Manager and/or the Assistant Production Manager cues the Production, side of ALSCO to limit the washing of shop rags on a test day because such rags are contaminated with oils and greases which is.a pollutant being sampled for on test day. ‘The day after the BES wastewater test, the engineer has to turn back on the water re-use system, The engineer also has to tum off the pump at the hydrogen peroxide barrel. The Production side of ALSCO no longer limits its shop rag washing. ‘Both Grubb and Downard told me the “smoke and mirrors” process differs-on days when ALSCO samples its own wastewater'as a condition of its permit. This process.was. a, described as follows: The Chief Engineer decides when ALSCO will sample its own wastewater and communicates that day to the engineers via a written note on the dry erase board. ‘The Chief Engineer then communicates the day of ALSCO’s self-test to the Production Side of ALSCO. On ALSCO’s self-test day, the assigned engineer turns off ALSCO’s water reuse system and tums on the hydrogen peroxide pump while the Production Side fimits the washing of shop rags. The day afier ALSCO’s self-test day, the assigned engineer tums ALSCO’s water reuse system back on and tums off the hydrogen peroxide pump. The Production Side no longer limits its washing of shop rags. Page 8 of 23, 30. Grubb took a picture of the barrel of hydrogen peroxide set up on May 22, 2014, as part of “smoke and mirrors” at ALSCO and provided it to me on July 1, 2014. Grubb said this picture accurately depicts where the barrel is kept at ALSCO, namely in the room known as the “wash alley.” ‘The silver-colored device mounted to the yellow rail above the barrel is the pump and the rectangular hole in the floor provides aceess to the trough carrying the wastewater. 31. On July 1, 2014, Grubb provided me with other pictures he took on May 22, 2014, of the black barrel shown above. One picture shows a white rectangular label on top of the drum identifying the contents as peroxide while another picture identifies the source of the barrel as a chemical supply company named Univar in Portland, Oregon, 32. On July 1, 2014, Grubb told me Baker bought the pump mounted in the photo to replace a broken pump unit. Grubb said the pump mounted in the photo works by a 110 elecirical circuit and it plugs into a line coming down from the ceiling Page 9 of 23, 33. On July 1, 2014, Downard told me ALSCO hired an electrical contractor to install the electrical line the pump is plugged into. He said ALSCO maintains engineering log books reflecting work such as this. He said the log books were maintained in the Chief Engineer’s office during his employment at ALSCO. 34. On July 1, 2014, Downard told me the Chief Engineer, Rod Baker, arranged the purchases of the hydrogen peroxide for delivery to ALSCO while he worked there, Downard told me Dan Marlitt used to order the hydrogen peroxide for delivery to ALSCO prior to being relieved by Baker 35. On July 1, 2014, Grubb told,me he assumes the hydrogen peroxide is currently bought by Rod Beker and that Dan Marlitt bought the hydrogen peroxide used at ALSCO. during his tenure as Chief Engineer. 36. On July 1, 2014, Grubb told me he kept some of the notes given to him by Dan Marlitt and provided them to Downard before Downard met with BES. | showed Grubb some. of the notes including this one below. He confirmed they were the ones he kept. LAE 37, In addition to the notes he provided to Downard, Grubb supplied him with a REUSE WATER MAKE-UP REPORT from 2011 that was then given to me by the BES. According to the report from January 2011, the highest water usage day was January 5, 2011 The second highest reading is from January 25, 2011 (consistent with the above note.) Ihave Page 10 of 23, another note from Grubb dated January 5, 2011, indicating the water re-use be turned off on January 5, 2011 38. John Holtrop, an Environmental Specialist in the BES Extra Strength Sewer Charge Program told me that turning off the water re-use system at ALSCO as part of “smoke and mirrors” would result in high water usage by ALSCO on those days that “smoke and mirrors” is employed at the facility. As part of a sampling event conducted by the BES in March 2014, more fully explained later in this affidavit, Holtrop provided me with evidence that ALSCO’s water usage went up on the day BES tested ALSC( 39. "s effluent in March 2014. Grubb has provided me with pictures he took of the dry erase board outside the boiler room near “wash alley” where the engineers are told when the wastewater test days are so they can set up “smoke and mirrors.” Grubb sent me pictures of the dry erase board taken on Page 11 of 23 June 3, June 4, July 9, July 29, August 4, August 20, and September 9, 2014, which all indicated the next test day at ALSCO. The picture of the dry erase board below was taken on June 4, 2014: 40. Grubb sent me videos of the pump sending hydrogen peroxide from the barrel to the hole in “wash alley” via email on July 29, August 10, August 21, and September. 10,2014. ‘When I talked to Grubb about the videos he sent to me, he confirmed he took the videos on days when either ALSCO or BES was taking samples of ALSCO’s effluent for testing, 41 Downard told me the Chief Engineer tells the Production Manager and Assistant Production Manager, Mark Inskeep and Shaun Shatto respectively, when test days are so the Production Side knows to limit, or not wash at all, the amount of shop rags laundered on test Gays, Downard told me the shop rags are generally dirtier and more contaminated with chemicals, oils, and greases, than other laundry being washed at ALSCO. 42. Downard said fore Dan Marlitt retired from ALSCO, he would post notes for the Production Managers similar to what he would give to the engineers. Downard said the new Chief Engineer, Rod Baker, uses emails to tell the Production Managers when the wastewater Page 12 of 23, test days are. Downard sent me a picture of a text exchange he had with Assistant Production Manager Shaun Shatto on July 7, 2014, as proof that Rod Baker emails the Production Managers to alert them when test days are. 43. On September 18, 2014, Downard told me Shaun Shatto told him on September 16, 2014, that he had received another email from Baker regarding a waste water test day. Downard told me be routinely saw Shatto working on a computer inside the Production Office while he worked at ALSCO. Downard said he routinely saw Mark Inskeep working on‘another computer inside the Production Office alongside Shatio, Downard said Shatto shared the ‘Pioduetioh Office with Mark Inskeep. He Said the Podiiction Office is or the ‘first floor of the ALSCO facility. Downard said he indicated the location of the Production Office on a map of the facility he drew for me on July 1, 2014. The map is attached to this affidavit 44. Dowmard said the Chief Enginecr’s Office is located upstairs near the west side of the building. During his time at ALSCO, Downard routinely saw Rod Baker working on a computer in the office, He said Dan Marlitt routinely worked on a computer in that office when he was ALSCO’s Chief Engineer; he added that during Marlitt’s time as Chief Engineer, two computers were used in the office. 45. Wes McDaniel at BES provided me with emails sent to him by Rod Baker. One email, dated June 24, 2014, was sent from email address rhaker(@alsco.com. The email itself included a signature block indicating it was sent from Rod Baker, Chief Engineer, ALSCO, Page 13 of 23,
