Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, January 25, 2017 Page A-5 Illinois Valley Soil and Water Conservation District vs. watershed council the moment is water quality issues like elevated stream temperatures, fertilizer and pesticide runoff as well as dealing with sediment runoff and erosion—problems that can be created by agricultural endeavors. “We have different focuses,” Tracey Brandt said, comparing the IVSWCD to the IVWC under Kevin O’Brien’s leadership and continued with, “me being with the IVSWCD it’s more about agriculture and water quality and Kevin with the IVWC is more about watershed improvements and salmon.” The staff of both organizations amounts to three employees who share the same building, one for each department and a shared office manager Amy Britt who helps with day-to-day operations. “We’re both improving the watershed,” Brandt Jason McMillen IVN Contributing Writer The Illinois Valley Soil and Water Conservation District (IVSWCD), which is closely related, yet separate from the Illinois Valley Watershed Council (IVWC), do their best to spearhead local efforts to conserve, restore and enhance natural resources for the environmental and social benefit of the Valley. The IVSWCD is currently in their 68th year of service and functions solely by the acquisition of grants. It operates as a special district of local government much like the fire department does and they provide free, nonregulatory services and consultations to landowners. Their primary focus at team which chooses proposals to submit to the OWEB. So, for those who are interested in making improvements, the IVSWCD may be able to provide grant funding and assistance. In one of two closing statements about upcoming events Brandt urged cannabis farmers to keep their eyes open for an educational seminar, which at this time has yet to receive an official date, and will highlight water quality issues that may emerge from their activities because of pesticide and fertilizer runoff.“I know that’s been an issue,” Brandt said. Brandt continued on to mention that the event will also include information as to how to create an efficient watering regime aimed at creating sustainable practices. said, further trying to differentiate the two organizations, “but different projects would go to one or the other to match what our missions are.” The primary grant that’s active for the IVSWCD is from the Oregon Department of Agriculture. It’s a two year grant which funds water quality improvement work but will soon end. However, the IVSWCD plans on reapplying in July and Brandt holds that they’re, “not really at risk of not getting it.” Additional grants are available through the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board’s (OWEB) Small Grant Program which funds small projects on public or private land like restoring streams, improving irrigation or planting trees. According to Brandt, these grants have a quicker turn around and she is personally on the review The second event highlights that there is currently an issue of stream water being hotter than usual due to a variety of factors but primarily from land being overly developed. “If the water’s too warm the salmon cannot survive,” Brandt said of the fish, some species of whom have been placed on the endangered species list. The main way to fix this issue is the practice of streamside planting, otherwise known as riparian planting,and as such the IVSWCD will be hosting an event that will sell plants to the public that are perfect for creating shaded streams. Although this event also has yet to have a date set those who are interested should keep an eye out for updates. IVCDO wins development grant from Banner Bank On Jan. 17 the Illinois Valley Community Development Organization (IVCDO) announced receipt of a grant of $5,100 from Banner Bank.
