To Provide Storage Space in Reservoirs

to within a foot of the top of the
spillway of the dam during the
recent fhsxl of Oct 2H-3I when
parts of Eugene, Glenwood, and
Springfield were under water.
This inhumation was contained
in a letter received by the Sen
tinel recently from Col. D. S.

¡Hiring the |M*ak of the flood
period the amount of water re
leased through the dam was ap
proximately 3,200 cubic feet jmt
si-cond, Burns said Water enter-
Ing the reservoir was several times
that amount, however, and a large
volume of the floodwater was
stored, substantially reducing the
downstream stages
By the time the flood receded,
the [mol hud reached a jmint less
than n foot from the spillway
crest.
"Hid the reservoir release been
cut off completely, "(.'«I. Burns
stated, ' ‘the |M.il would have risen
higher and water would have gone
over the spillway This condition
win avoided by releasing a normal
discharge which, as far as in
known, was within banks and non-
damaging along the Row river be
low Ixircna Dam."
During the major flood season,
which lasts from the middle of No-
wmber to the end of January,
Ixith Cottage Grove and .Dorena
reservoirs arc maintained at mini
mum | mx >| except when they are
being regulated for flood control.

waters.
"Following a flood," Col. Bums
continued "the stored fkxxlwatcrs
are evacuated as rapidly ax down
stream conditions permit consis
tent with the basic requirement
that flows lx* maintained within ।
banks. Purpose of this evacuation
is to prepare the reservoir for pos
sible additional fhxxls because as
is well known a series of storms
<M-casionally passes over the Wil
lamette Valley at relatively close
intervals.”
Both historical and recent fkxxls
have been studied to develop the
most effei-tive regulation procedur
es. Col. Burns' letter said Studies
arc lx*ing continued, and modifi
cations may be made from time to
time in the existing .schedules to
refine reservoir regulation tech-
niques.

The best way of being sure to
spend Christmas at home this
! year is to drive carefully between
now and the holidays, chief of
Police Chester A. Nordstrom al-
i vised Cottage Grove motorists
! yesterday.
Every body is busier just before
I Christmas, and as a rule, the
roads are more dangerous. Chief 1.
Nordstrom pointed out.
"Sleet, ice, snow, rain, all pre
sent extra hazards when driving,
and we should take extra precau
tions to avoid costly accidents and
injuries,” he said.
i Two out of three winter acci
dents occur on snow or ice, ac
cording to studies in typical snow
belt states, the National Safety
, Council has discovered. The win
ter accident death rate is 24 to 53
! per cent above the summer figure
' in snowbelt states.
What to do about it?
''Drive according to conditions
and have winter safety equipment
ready,” Chief Nordstrom said.
! "Tire chains are needed at times
1 to counteract severe snow and ice
1 conditions.
your anti-skid
chains when needed, and avoid an
■ accidental missing link in your
' family circle at Christmas.
"And to insure good visibility,
¡be sure your windshield wiper
: blades, defroster, and headlights
' arc in good condition."
Careless or negligent driving is
j not only hazardous. Chief Nord-
’ strom observed. It’s also against
i the law. He said that every acci
dent will be thoroughly investi-
. gated to determine the cause, and
! that drivers guilty of law viola
tions will be prosecuted.
