Of ten-Delayed Olalla Dam
Report Is Due In 3 Months
nT.he nfInn;dLayed final "Port out saying whether or not feasibili-
u.uua uuiu appears now to
be about three months of.
This was the indication Monday
night by John Mangan, area engin
eer for the Bureau of Reclamation.
The Bureau is conducting the stud
ies on the proposed dam on Olalla
Creek. Mangan was the featured
speaker Monday at the monthly
meeting of the Douglas County Wa
ter Resources Advisory Committee
meeting in the Courthouse at Rose
burg. He said he expected the Salem
office of the Bureau would receive
final engineering reports from the
Boise, Idaho, headquarters in about
three weeks. Then, the Salem of
fice will complete a field draft
which will be printed for release.
He estimated this would take "a
couple of months."
Delay Explained
Mangan reported the latest delay
was due to a question about a struc
ture for fish in conjunction with
the dam.
He reviewed the physical charac
teristics pf the proposed dam, with-

MC Teachers Slate , ,
Talk On Tax Measure
The Myrtle Creek Classroom
Teachers Association at a meeting
set for Friday at 4 p.m. in the
school cafeteria will host Cecil W.
Posey of Portland, speaking on the
tax measure to be voted upon Oct.
15. Posey is the executive secre
tary of the Oregon Education As
sociation, one of the groups favor
ing the bill.
According to Don Grinolds, pres
ident of the Myrtle Creek group,
Posey is appearing in Myrtle Creek
at the invitation of the teachers'
group, and the public is invited to
attend the Friday meeting. Posey
will begin his talk promptly at 4
p.m. .
ty was likely. However, the indica
tions are strong from previous re
ports that such feasibility is al
most certain.
Mangan said the dam will be 186
feet high and 1,150 feet long. It is
designed for a capacity of 73.000
acre-feet. Included would be 31,
000 acre-feet for irrigation, flood
control and other uses; 960 acre
feet for municipal water for Win-ston-Dillard
and Roberts Creek; 1,
770 feet for water quality control;
and 9,650 feet for fishlifc.
With this capacity, Mangan said,
it is estimated a total 2.6 acre-feet
per acre would be available annual
ly for irrigation of 14,460 acres.
For flood control, he said the
dam would be drawn down to a low
point by the first of November. It
would then be filled by the first
of May.
The physical structure of the
project would include 42 miles of
main canals and four pumping
plants. The dam is designed for a
lifetime of 100 years. The payout
period will be 50 years after de
velopment. He emphasized that establish
ment of an irrigation district and
a negotiated contract between the
district and the Bureau would call
for votes by property owners in the
district. He said an irrigation dis
trict is necessary to represent the
people of the area.
Also on hand tor the meeting
was Henry Stewart, chief of the
planning section for the Portland
Division of the U. S. Army Corps
of Engineers. He said the compre
hensive water resource develop
ment study being conducted for
Douglas County may be ready for
report to the people in about a
year. At present the indications
are, he said, that the "best poten
tial" for damsites may be found
at Galesville on Cow Creek, Tiller
or Days Creek on the South Ump
qua and Hinkle Creek in the Cala
pooia watershed. He said the South
Umpqua sites are being consider
ed for possible hydroelectric pow
er generation, as well as the other
purposes usually included in a
multipurpose package.
In a postscript later in the meet
ing, Stewart said a dam similar to
that at Olalla is being considered
on the middle fork of the Coquille
River near Camas Valley as part
of that basin's over-all water de
velopment. He said investigations
are still in the preliminary stage
and they show only that "a dam
might be possible."
The final speaker was Malcolm
Karr, hydrologic engineer for the
state Water Resources Board! He
reported on the progress of water
quality and temperature studies
being made in cooperation with the
Corps of Engineers and other agen
cies. He said the final analyses are
slated next week at the computer
center at Oregon State University.
