to state boards and commissions. The Senate
Rules Committee is scheduled to consider the
nominations Sept. 18.
Hermiston farmer Bob Levy is up for

Dillon Dam removal earns
state award
HERMISTON — The removal of the
fish-blocking, canal-clogging Dillon Dam
on the lower Umatilla River is garnering
recognition from the Oregon Water
Resources Department.
On Monday, the project received the
state award for best water management and
conservation plan by an agricultural water
supplier. Along with removing the aging
concrete dam, partners established a new point
of diversion at the existing Westland Dam and
built a two-mile pipeline to deliver water to
members of the Dillon Irrigation Company.
Taylor McCroskey, fish habitat biologist
for the Oregon Department of Fish &
Wildlife, said removal is now complete,
well in advance of the fall salmon and
steelhead runs. The project was the result
of years of collaboration between ODFW,
local landowners, the Confederated Tribes
of the Umatilla Indian Reservation and the
Umatilla Basin Watershed Council.
The city of Hermiston and West
Extension Irrigation District also landed the
Tyler Hansell Agricultural Efficiency Award
for their project that recycles the city’s
wastewater into WEID’s irrigation canals.
Tom Byler, director of the Water
Resources Department, said the conservation
awards are presented annually to individuals,
groups, businesses and governments to
recognize outstanding commitment to
water conservation and responsible water
management.
Byler plans to present the awards to some
of the winners later this fall.
