Lunski believes the
Corps, with the benefit of
modern
technology,
should modify the rule
curve.
The Corps has more de-
mands on its water, he
said, and should study al-
lowing the reservoir to fill
more quickly in March
and early April.
“They should take into
account the last 50 years,
look at the probability of
flooding during those
months, and come up with
a better plan,” he said.
“It’s time to adjust the
curve.”
Echols said adjusting
the curve would require a
major study that takes
into account all 10 dam
systems in the Willamette
Basin — since they all
work toward the same
goals.
A new rule curve
wouldn’t
necessarily
mean more water in De-
troit Lake during summer
either, Echols said. In
fact, it might mean the op-
posite.
“Modifying our rule
curves would require a
significant re-evaluation
of basin and tributary hy-
drology … including po-
tential increases in flood
consequences due to high-
er Willamette Valley pop-
ulation,” Echols said.
“With this information,
re-evaluating the rule
curve could indicate the
need to shift refill to later
in the spring. This could
actually reduce summer
storage.”

structed in 1953, the curve
sets a model for the reser-
voir’s water level.
During the peak rainy
season, for example, the
reservoir is dropped to
around 1,450 feet above
sea level — or 113 feet low-
er than a “full” summer
water level.
The reservoir is kept
that low so it can absorb a
“100 year storm event” —
a flood such as those seen
in 1964 and 1996 — and
limit damage to the Wil-
lamette Valley.
The Corps begins fill-
ing the reservoir on Feb 1,
and depends on spring
rains and some snowmelt
to reach Detroit’s sum-
mertime water level of
1563.5 feet.
When spring rains
don’t materialize at nor-
mal levels — which oc-
curred in both 2015 and
this year — it leads to low-
er reservoir levels in the

The fish problem
Perhaps the most gall-
ing thing for Lunski is that
following the curve isn’t
the top priority by late
spring and summer.
Since mid-May, for ex-
ample, the level of Detroit
Lake has been dropping,
even though the reservoir
is about eight feet below
the rule curve.
At a time when the
Corps could fill the reser-
voir, and create a longer
recreation season, they’re
not doing so.
What gives?
The reason, in a nut-
shell, is the Endangered
Species Act and a Biologi-
cal Opinion authored in
2008.
By law, a certain

The uncertain future
has prompted the Corps to
suggest marinas on De-
fields and on-farm festi-
vals out in rural areas?

lamette Basin.
“We have required
flows that address the mi-
gration, spawning, incu-
bation and rearing life cy-
cles for fish,” said Ian
Chane, fisheries biologist
and program manager for
the Corps. “Historically,
we didn’t have these re-
quirements, but they are
now mandated.”
The requirements for
fish crystallizes Lunski’s
frustration. If the Corps is
required to devote a cer-
tain amount of water to
fish, they should make up
for it by taking in addi-
tional water. Otherwise,
the water deficit gets
passed onto business own-
ers and boaters, Lunski
said.
“Even in the years they
do fill the reservoir, what
ends up happening is that
they let so much water out
that it shortens or ends
our season early,” he said.
“Rather than getting
through mid-September,
we’re now lucky to get
through Labor Day.”

troit Lake consider dredg-
ing out dock systems low-
er in the reservoir pool.
Both Detroit Lake Ma-
rina and Kane’s Marina
have docks at 1,546 feet,
leaving little room for er-
ror with the full reservoir
at 1563.5 feet.
The changing climate,
and increasing demands
on the water, might mean
lower water levels are in-
creasingly likely.
Lunski said he’s con-
sidered it, but the starting
cost would be around
$150,000. It would cost
even more money to cre-
ate access to the lower
docks.
“That amount of mon-
ey is not an easy thing,” he
said. “Plus, it can take up
to two years to get the per-
mit approved.”
There is some hope for
recreation in the future.
Oregon Sen. Ron Wy-
den has introduced legis-
lation that would require
the Corps to place a high-
er premium on recrea-
tion.
“We’re not going to tell
the Army Corps to stop
doing the things they’re
doing — like flood control
— but we are saying, for
the first time, that they
need to make recreation a
top priority,” Wyden said
during an interview last
March.
And, the Corps is cur-
rently in the process of
determining how to allo-
cate water stored in Wil-
lamette Valley reservoirs
between farmers, cities,
fish and, yes, recreation-
focused businesses.
“Don’t get me wrong,
the Corps is trying,” Lun-
ski said. “I just don’t think
they’re thinking outside
the box, or are so stuck by
a few rules that keeps
them from doing a better
job for Detroit Lake.”

When a death is unexpected and a person is not on hospice, nor in a licensed care facility, your fi rst phone call
may be to the funeral home. However, the police must be notifi ed fi rst. Often the funeral home will call and
notify the police for you.
Once police are notifi ed, they will come to the place of death and assess things. They will also contact EMT to
come and certify the time and that a death has occurred. Afterward, the police may phone the nearest funeral
home to assist in transportation of the individual. In certain cases, the medical examiner’s deputy may also
be requested at the scene to determine if an autopsy may be required. In other cases, an autopsy may not be
necessary. If family wishes to pursue an autopsy, they should notify the funeral
director.
Is embalming required?
No. Only in certain circumstances. Embalming is required in cases of
communicable disease or prolonged public viewing (6 hours or longer). Most
often times the funeral home will utilize mortuary refridgeration, as required after
the fi rst 24 hours of death.
