They\u2019re afraid to raise their children, but they can\u2019t afford to move,\u201d Merkley said. \u201cIt seems to me like these are exactly the sorts of things that we\u2019re trying to provide funds for, and the [Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act] to assist, and I want us to find a way to help these communities out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By and large, rural well owners don\u2019t benefit from federal infrastructure investments reserved for public water systems. That\u2019s as roughly one quarter of Oregonians get their drinking water from private wells, which aren\u2019t regulated by the state. Homeowners are responsible for their own testing to rule out contamination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That dynamic has lately been shifting in Morrow and Umatilla counties, where the longstanding and wide-reaching dangers of nitrate pollution&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opb.org\/article\/2023\/08\/27\/oregon-sets-september-goal-nitrates-testing-umatilla-basin-groundwater\/\">gained the attention of state and federal&nbsp;<\/a>leaders, who are now promising millions to pay for comprehensive outreach, testing and alternative water supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Crook County, however, a smaller contingent of residents are on their own to try and identify\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opb.org\/article\/2023\/06\/13\/oreogn-water-pollution-knife-river-corporation-crook-county\/\">the source of high manganese levels in the well water<\/a>. Depending on the concentration, this metal can cause a range of problems, from stained laundry to liver issues and neurological dysfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this year, Oregon regulators dismissed Crook County residents\u2019 complaints against the surface mining giant Knife River Corporation Northwest. Over the summer, Merkley and his fellow Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden urged the Environmental Protection Agency to investigate the state\u2019s conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com\/opb\/OAV6RA4ZOZHYLH2VMKOKIYZB6M.jpg\" alt=\"Jeff Merkley looks down at some pieces of paper while a woman stands next to him in front of a small crowd of people.\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">U.S. Sen.
