Joint effort provides facilities on island Regulations
Representatives from the Oreoon
State Marine Board, Jefferson
County and the Confederated
Tribes of Warm Springs visited
Chinook Island on the Metolius
Arm of Lake Billy Chinook,
Thursday, July 26, 1990.
The purpose of the trip was to
view the new public composting
restrooms that have just been
completed. Terry Luther of the
Warm Springs Natural Resources
Department said that providing
adequate restroom facilities for the
public in the past has been a real
problem. In the past there were two
pit type restrooms on the island
and in no time at all they were
inadequate and unsanitary for
public use. It just became expen
sive to maintain them and at one
point the Tribal council pondered
closing the island completely to
public use. Extensive damage was
also being done to the island's
edges by water washing onto the
bank, caused by boaters. Luther
said that the Tribe does derive
nme income from fishing permits

but it's not the fishermen who use
the island, it's the boaters who are
the heavy users. In one study it was
found that 500.000 people have
used the island in one year.
since this involved the Bureau of
Land Management, the U.S. Forest
Service, the State Marine Board,
Jefferson County and the Confed
erated Tribes, a joint effort was
employed to solve the problem. At
one point floating facilities were
considered but the cost was prohib
itive. It was decided to try this type
of restroom. Five tons of materials
were flown to the island by helicop
ter and contractors quickly con
structed the facility.
David Obern, Oregon State
Marine Board, was very pleased
with the joint effort. Obern and
Ron Rhodenhael worked closely
with everyone to get the facilities
completed. William "Bill"
MacHugh, a member of the board
for the State Marine Division also
expressed satisfactory remarks of
how well things turned out. He
said, as a board member, he has
used the island as a boater and saw
the need for facilities such as this.
Jody Calica, representative of
the Confederated Tribes said he
looks to the future for better things
to come. He said through joint
efforts things can be accomplished.
This is the second one to be built
in the State of Oregon. The fist one
is located in the Multnomah
Channel along the Columbia River.
The clean-up at the end of the
season will fill a five pound bucket
after all the use during the year. At
this point the general public has
had very good comments regard
ing the new failicites. They com
ment that the restrooms are odor
less and fly free, clean and neat.

Fish SCreenS Continued from page 2
Council Chairman Tom Trulove
reported.
Trulove noted that until by-pass
screens are in place, fish-laden
water must be spilled over the
dams to protect young salmon and
steelhead from the turbines. The
spilled water can't be used to
generate electricity so revenues are
lost to the power system. "We can't
move young fish safely down the
Columbia without screens and by
pass channels to protect the fish
from the dams' turbines. North
west ratepayers are investing
millions to produce and protect
salmon and steelhead. Those in
vestments will be wasted if these
fish are killed on their way to the
sea.
"It's taken extraordinary leader
ship to get these funds into a very
tight federal budget, " Trulove
added.

dams. The $2.7 million approved
by the Senate Committee for new
bypass systems at Ice Harbor and
The Dalles dam is especially im
portant. The executive budget had
proposed to delay work at these
two dams for at least two years
while another federal mitigation
study was developed. The Senate
Committee rejected any further
delay and directed the Corps to
continue progress on improvement
at the two dams.
The Council has made fish by
pass for juvenile salmon and steel
head a priority because of the huge
mortality rate that occurs at
hydroelectric projects. Currently,
over half the juvenile fish migrat
ing downstream are killed by dam
turbines. The Council estimates
that state-of-the-art screens and
bypass mechanisms will cut the
death rate in half.

Integrity ofShitike Creek is protected during museum land stabilization
work. Boulders provide rip-rap and prevent fill dirt from washing away.
An integrated approach is being
applied in the placement of boulders
on the bank ofShitike Creek at the
planned museum site. The techni
cal aspects of engineering to both
protect the museum from high water
and to protect the integrity of the
small Reservation stream are being
employed by designer and con
struction supervisor Tom Bumstead
of River Master Engineering, Pul
lman, Washington.
Location of the planned museum
facility in close proximity to Shi
tike Creek requires a special engi
neering approach. Several fisheries
enhancement and stream stabiliza
tion projects necessitate consideration.
Bumstead, a hydraulic engineer,
has worked on Shitike Creek pro
jects for the past three years and is
familiar with stream project goals,
says Warm Springs fisheries biolo
gist Mark Fritsch. The work he is
doing at the museum
site, says the biologist "comple
ments the creek." The slope of the
bank and placement of rip-rap will
prevent the erosion of fill material
into the stream and will provide a
good base for the rapid growth of
riparian vegetation needed to keep
the stream water cool and to fur
nish habitat for fish.
Work will be completed by
August II, says Bumstead.
