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

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.
The grant is part of Banner Bank’s ongoing
commitment to the communities in which they do
business through the Community Reinvestment
Act. IVCDO will use the funds to support the
Individual Development Account (IDA) Savings
Program for small business and post-secondary
education. The IDA Savings Program is available
to low-moderate income individuals or families
and utilizes state and federal tax credits to reward
qualified IDA Program participants with $3 for
every $1 they save for their business or education
goals.
The award check was presented by Jodi
MacDonald, vice president and branch manager
of both Banner Bank locations in Grants Pass,
(1689 Williams Hwy. and 1409 NE 7th St.), who
said, “We are proud to award this grant to Illinois
Valley Community Development Organization
for continuation of the IDA Savings Program to
support asset savings for entry level entrepreneurs
and small business growth.”
Receiving the award on behalf of IVCDO
was Kenny Houck, community development
manager, who explained, “We want to thank Jodi
MacDonald for promoting the IVCDO and its work
throughout the community. The funds will be used
to help our IDA clients with the financial education
and business planning necessary to successfully
complete the program.”
