Slide could block river, flood Yakima Valley farmland
By DAN WHEAT
Capital Press
UNION GAP, Wash. —
A potential 4 million-cu-
bic-yard landslide on Rat-
tlesnake Ridge near Union
Gap has prompted U.S. Rep.
Dan Newhouse to ask Gov.
Jay Inslee to proclaim a state
of emergency for Yakima
County.
Such a proclamation
would be vital for any fed-
eral response when the slide
occurs.
State and local officials
say about 20 acres of hill-
side could slide anytime be-
tween now and early March
and block Interstate 82, the
Yakima River and jeopardize
irrigation canals serving the
thousands of acres of farm-
land in the Lower Yakima
Valley.
However, they believe
chances of that are remote,
and that it’s far more like-
ly any slide will end up in a
large rock quarry that is sus-
pected of being the cause of
the problem.
A crack in the surface of
the ridge was detected in Oc-
tober and for some time the
ground as been sliding at a
rate of 1.6 feet per week. It’s
occurring in the gap, a nat-
ural break in the ridge that
separates the upper from
the lower valley. The city of
Union Gap is immediately to
the north.
“As you may know,
the valley is home to over
200,000 residents as well as
the thousands of commuters
to and from the area,” New-
house wrote to the governor.
Newhouse said the river pro-
vides invaluable resources to
the region from recreation to
irrigation.
Disruption to transporta-
tion and water infrastructure
“poses devastating effects
for the state and the region’s
overall economy,” wrote
Newhouse.
Several residents below
the slope were evacuated Jan.
11 when a rainstorm acceler-
ated concern.
Scott Revell, manager of
Roza Irrigation District in
Sunnyside, said in a worse
case scenario, a slide could
affect the Roza, Sunnyside
Valley and Union Gap irri-
gation districts. They service
more than 166,000 acres of
farmland.
A slide could potentially
reach the Sunnyside Valley
Irrigation District dam just
downstream from Parker, he
said.
The Roza canal goes
through a tunnel and is five
miles from the slide area but
officials want to divert water
from the river into the canal at
Roza dam upstream of Selah
to reduce flooding if the river
is blocked at the gap, Revell
said.
The Roza could take only
1,000 cubic feet of water per
second and the river is run-
ning at 2,500 cfs, he said. Fur-
thermore, the canal’s concrete
lining could be damaged if
water freezes, he said.
A dozen concrete expan-
sion joints are open right
now for improvements and
running water would damage
those areas, he said, adding
he’s trying to speed up that
work in case the canal has to
be used.
“We view it as a last resort
to save human life,” he said.

A widening crack in Rattlesnake Ridge south of Union Gap, Wash.,
threatens to precipitate a massive landslide that could block
Interstate 82 and the Yakima River. Authorities have urged about
50 people to evacuate.
New immigration bill would create ‘chaos,’ ag leader says

Jeff Stone, director of the Oregon Association of Nurseries, says a
new immigration reform bill could leave farmers short of workers.
Between 50 and 70 per-
cent of tree fruit and vege-
table workers are estimated
to be illegal immigrants, so
growers fear the use of E-ver-
ify without first providing

The latest U.S. House bill
aimed at immigration reform
and a DACA fix would create
“chaos for farmers and their
workers,” an Oregon nursery
leader says.
“The inclusion of E-verify
(electronic employment eli-
gibility verification) before
a transition plan for current
workers and implementation
of an agricultural visa system
could be harmful to much of
agriculture throughout the
U.S.,” said Jeff Stone, exec-
utive director of the Oregon
Association of Nurseries in
Wilsonville, Ore. “The only
certainty will be chaos for
farmers and their workers.”
a legal work status for them
would devastate their work-
force.
“My hope is that this is
not the first and final offer
because I am not sure agri-
culture is better off under this
proposal,” Stone said.
The Securing America’s
Future Act, HR 4760, was in-
troduced by House Judiciary
Chairman Robert Goodlatte,
R-Va., and several other com-
mittee chairmen on Jan. 10.
It seeks to bolster immi-
gration enforcement, reform
legal immigration programs,
secure the U.S.-Mexico bor-
der and grant recipients of
DACA a three-year renew-
able legal status, allowing
them to work and travel over-
seas but with no special paths
to a permanent work status
known as green cards.
DACA, the acronym for
Deferred Action for Child-
hood Arrivals, currently al-
lows some people who en-
tered the country as minors,
and had either entered or
remained in the country ille-
gally, to receive a renewable
two-year period of deferred
action from deportation and
to be eligible for a work per-
mit. It is being phased out.
Capital Press also request-
ed comment from about 20
other representatives of la-
bor-intensive
agriculture.
They either did not respond
or said they are studying the
latest bill.
The bill also increases the
number of green cards avail-
able in three skilled worker
categories from 120,000 to
175,000 annually, a 45 per-
cent increase. It includes
Goodlatte’s H-2C guestwork-
er plan to provide a flow of
farmworkers, apparently re-
placing the H-2A program.
It also requires employers
to use E-verify within two
years.
Stone said HR 4092,
Goodlatte’s proposal setting
up H-2C, is “pretty flawed”
because if illegal immigrants
do what it requests, growers
won’t have enough workers.

HR 4092 requires them to
abandon their jobs, return to
Mexico and apply for re-en-
try under H-2C, which has
a cap of 450,000 workers
annually. The current H-2A
guestworker program has no
cap.
The U.S. Department of
Labor authorized 200,049
H-2A visas in 2017, which
represents about 10 percent
of the nation’s more than 2
million seasonal ag workers,
according to the National
Council of Agricultural Em-
ployers. There are also about
500,000 year-round or per-
manent ag workers.
If 70 percent of the 2
million seasonal workers
leave the country, that’s 1.4
million. If only 450,000 are
allowed to return under the
new H-2C program, that cre-
ates a shortage of 1 million.
“That’s the math I’m try-
ing to come to grips with,”
Stone said. “We want a com-
prehensive bill but we have
to be able to live through the
process.”
The new bill, HR 4760,
ends the lottery that provides
50,000 green cards to citizens
of underrepresented nations,
chain migration in which
citizens and permanent resi-
dents are allowed to sponsor
non-nuclear family members
for immigration and reduces
the legal immigration limit
by 25 percent from 1,060,000
people.
The bill also authorizes
border wall construction and
advanced technology border
security. It secures the ports
of entry, adds 5,000 Border
Patrol agents and 5,000 Cus-
toms and Border Protection
officers. It authorizes the use
of the National Guard for avi-
ation and intelligence support
of border security.
The bill further cracks
down on sanctuary cities,
facilitates cooperation with
local law enforcement, in-
cludes Kate’s Law to increase
penalties for deported crim-
inals who return to the U.S.
and addresses visa overstays.
