Growers cultivate Com m unity Garden
The crops are looking good
at the Warm Springs commu
nity garden, where the local
growers are cultivating corn,
peppers, pumpkins and other
vegetables.
The 3-acre community gar
den is located by the adminis

and families are working the
different plots, with help last
week from Sacred Road vol
unteers.
The garden is in its fourth
year of active cultivation, after
some years of disuse.

dividuals have helped to bring
the garden back, said Edmond

Warm Springs Diabetes Preven
tion program.

over the past four years, with
the garden looking better each
season.

Biomass assessment released
The Resource Management
Interdisciplinary Team has just
released a draft project assess
ment for public review.
The draft document provides
an environmental analysis of the
proposed Oregon Bioenergy
Biomass Plant.
The Resource Management
Interdisciplinary Team also ap
proved sm all project assess
ments for a rodeo/coral facility
north of the industrial park, a
farm ing operatio n near the
mouth of the Warm Springs
River, and a timber salvage to
collect blowdown off Tenino
Road.
The biomass plant assess

July 13, 2011
m ent was p rep ared by the
Project Interdisciplinary Team
to provide options for a facility
that is being planned for con
struction north of Warm Springs
and east of Highway 3.
Two alternatives were formu
lated and numerous components
were considered in developing
the final plan, taking into ac
count present site conditions,
associated resources and public
input.
The document is divided into
sections explaining the purpose
and need for action, resource-
based indicators used to help the
technical staff analyze and miti
gate environmental impacts, and
details of the alternatives.
There is a map showing the
project site plan, including build
ing locations, transmission line
and water line routes, an access
road and other related facilities.
The alternatives would have
varying impacts on water, fish,
wildlife, cultural, timber, range,
soil and economic resources and
there would also be changes to
the transportation system.
For more information or cop
ies of the document contact
Dee Sehgal or Bill Rhoades in
the Natural Resources Office
Building. Tribal members have
30 days to comment on the pro
posed project.
(AP) _ The Oregon Depart
ment of Fish and W ildlife is
positively giddy about the vol
ume o f retu rn in g Chinook
salmon to the Sandy River this
summer.
The department reports the
salmon returns are good and the
fishing conditions excellent.
There are approximately 6,000
Chinook salmon expected to
return to the river basin this
year, and 4,000 o f those are
hatchery fish.
