SALEM — The number of
water law violations in Oregon
has continued climbing in
2022, building on a trend that
state regulators have observed
during the past fi ve years.
So far this year, state water
regulators have issued 50
notices of violation for unlaw-
ful irrigation and other prob-
lems, up from 40 in all of 2021
and fi ve times as many as in
2018.
“They have increased
dramatically in recent years,
largely due to illegal canna-
bis,” said Ivan Gall, field
services division adminis-
trator for the Oregon Water
Resources Department.
Black market marijuana
producers have been known
to steal water, but OWRD
has also encountered regu-
lated cannabis growers
who’ve run afoul of water
law — for example, by using
domestic water sources for
commercial production.

Concerns about adverse
impacts from marijuana and
hemp production in Oregon
have prompted legal reforms
and increased funding for
cannabis regulation, such
as the $5 million approved
specifically for OWRD’s
water rights enforcement last
year.

State pays $9M to women attacked
by 2 2 escaped Oregon prisoner

By NOELLE CROMBIE
The Oregonian
SALEM — The state has
paid a total of $9 million
to two women who were
attacked last year by a pris-
oner who walked away from
a work crew and took off in
a car belonging to one of the
women.
The women still suffer
from their injuries, said their
attorney, John Coletti. One
woman’s fractured arm has
not healed, and one has trou-
ble walking long distances.
Both have cognitive prob-
lems and severe post-trau-
matic stress disorder, “which
has had a huge impact on
their lives,” he said.
Jedaiah Lunn, 37, is
accused of surprising the
women as they foraged for
moss and other plants along
a gravel road on April 14,
2021, at Gales Creek Camp-
ground in western Washing-
ton County.
At the time, he was on
a crew based at the state’s
South Fork Forest Camp
in Tillamook County and
slipped away from a job site
in the campground.
The women were from
Japan but living in Washing-
ton County, and the attack
drew a sharp response from
the Japanese government.
The consul general of the
Consular Offi ce of Japan in
Portland asked Gov. Kate
Brown how the state Depart-
ment of Corrections had
allowed a man with a long
criminal record to escape.
In September 2021, fi ve
months after the assault, the

ing a review of its practices.
The camp has since resumed
work.
Despite reaching a settle-
ment with the victims,
officials with the state
Department of Corrections
and Department of Forestry
still refuse to release basic
details of what happened,
such as how many state work-
ers were on site when Lunn
walked off and when anyone
noticed he was missing.
The Oregonian emailed
quest ions Wed nesd ay,
Aug. 31, to both agencies,
but they issued statements
declining to answer.

convicted of second-degree
robbery, a Measure 11 off ense
that comes with a mandatory
minimum sentence. He had
been slated for release next
year.
Heidi Steward, acting
corrections director, said in an
emailed statement she hopes
the settlement “will help the
women heal their physical and
emotional scars. This was a
horrifi c crime, and we will
continue to work closely with
criminal investigators and

Lunn is held accountable.”
