JONES Po»t Correspondent A hearing for a conditional use permit on the Minikahda micro hydropower project scheduled for today has been postponed until later this month or the fir s t of November The project, proposed by Paul Sanders and Mary Con don, would generate enough power to serve 10 to 15 homes The site of the pro posed plant is the Lolo Pass area, in a valley near Crut chers Bench. Neil Fredrickson, a resi dent of the area who lives on Minkahda Creek, a tributary of Clear Creek, where 26 per sons get drinking water, said that he is afraid the project will create problems with their water system, as well as be a potential threat to the fish and wildlife in the area The valley below Crutchers Bench is a major area for deer Fredrickson said that in August he heard “ chainsaws and people working in the area.*' He said that trees and brush were cut and later noticed pipes stacked up on the property owned by Sanders Fredrickson said that in the middle “ of all this confu sion,’ * the area's water system operator, Harry D Hoak of Milwaukie, died That was July 15 Hoak's water company, the Bur bank Water Company, was left in limbo with the estate's administrator threatening to sell to the highest bidder Two weeks after Hoak s death the State Health D ivi sion claimed that someone got sick on the system's w a te r and ordered customers to boil their water. Fredrickson said a notice of a potential health hazard was posted on only some of the residences, but not all of them Linda Fredrickson, his wife, said that she question ed whether the system's water was a health hazard, but did acknowledge that repairs were needed, as well as some proper administra tion Some customers have not been billed for three years The Fredricksons referred to the Burbank Water Com pany as “ a secret water system' because nobody ex cept the deceased owner knew where all the pipes are located They said that the cost of correcting the system was not astronomical, but until that time, the Burbank Water Company should be able to continue to serve its customers Al Smythe, of the State Health Department's office of environmental health, received a complain from Donald Loftis on Ix)lo Pass Road, “ who got sick drink ing the water “ Smythe said that Bob Johnson of the Clackamas County Health Department, Worh and change in family the theme of OSU conference “ F am ilie s, Work and Change" is the theme of the 1981 Home Economic fall conference at Oregon State University Oct 16 and 17 with Kensey Green, executive director of the American Home Economics Associa tion, as the keynote speaker Green will deliver the an nual Jessamine C Williams lecture at 8 p m Friday, Oct 16, in the new OSU Con ference Center The talk, which is free and open to the public, will be preceeded by a dinner in the Memorial Union The conference continues Saturday norming at 8 30 when home economics Dean Betty Hawthorne welcomes participants in the Engineer be shared during the con ing Auditorium of the Con cluding luncheon, scheduled ference Center for the Memoriifl Union During the morning, facul Speaker at the luncheon, ty members from the family which is sponsored by the life and fam ily resource OSU Home E conom ics management departments Alumni Organization, will be will hold a dialogue on the M a ry Wendy R oberts, impact of work outside the Oregon Commissioner of the home on family members Bureau of Labor and In This will be followed by a dustries She will speak on panel moderated by June “ Women’s Role in the Home Menton, family life depart and the Work Force.” ment head, focusing on ad The theme for the con justments family members ference was chosen because have made to various work of the belief that helping situations families adapt to changing A fte r the panel, con work patterns is one of the ference participants w ill major challenges of this share reactions and ideas in decade, explained Elaine small discussion groups Carlson, assistant dean of Ideas from each group will home economics and chair of and Bob Knight of the EPA. began running test on the water system for giardia, a parasite that invades drink ing water and can cause il lness They also conducted a bacteria anyalysis test that proved positive On July 21 the giardia test proved negative, meaning “ it was not present in the water “ Smythe said that he was not aware of the hydro pro ject going in and said that the next logical step would be for the customers to come up with an alternate plan to upgrade the system The Fredricksons question the logic behind the State Department of Energy's “ Small Energy I.oan Pro gram" for giving the project a 12 percent loan totaling S78.B4O for a plant “ to Lx? con structed above a water system.” Sandra Burt, a loan officer with SELP, said that the water company's operator, Harry Hoak, sent a letter on June 30 concerning the Minikahda project Hoak operated the water company from 1924 until his death Hoak wrote that “ Paul Sanders has informed me of his plans for construction of a h y d ro e le c tric power system which will use water taken from Minikahda Creek upstream from the Burbank Water Company intake He has explained to me his plan to install a feeder line from Minikahda Power to Bur bank Water Company Col lection tank so that Burbank tank level w ill be maintained by water for Minikahda Power penstock line."
