Law allows use
o f bycatch salmon
(AP) — G ov. J o h n
K itzhaber signed the salmon
bycatch bill last week.
T h e law is in te n d e d to
avoid the w astê o f salm on
that are incidentally caught by
commercial boats going after
other fish.
U n d er the new law the
salmon— typically hauled in
with whiting—would be given
to the state.
P ro c e sso rs w ould keep
som e to defray the costs.
Food banks would buy the
rest at a significant discount.
O re g o n F o o d B ank re
source manager Mike Moran
said it could am ount to 20 to
30 tons o f fish a year. The
bill was passed by the Oregon
Legislature in February.
John Day River opens

Work to begin on Simnasho water project
W ork is moving; forward
on the surge tank location
plan for the Simnasho water
supply, said Roy Spino, tribal
Utilities water and wastewa
ter chief operator.
Within the next few weeks,
Spino said, drilling will begin
at the well location which is
about a mile from Highway
26.
‘W e’ll then have some geo
tech w ork that needs to be
done,” he said “because the

design needed for the water
system. That contract will be
awarded in June.

T he pipeline contract will
open for bids on July 8, and
the contract will be awafded
on July 22.
Bids for the storage tank
will be advertised on July 6.
That contract will be awarded
July 27.
‘W e’re hoping to have that
part 6 f the project completed
by O ctober 31,” Spino said.
“This will give us better than
a m o n th to w o rk o u t any
bugs.”
. For this project, the EPA
has contributed $1.4 million.
HUD
has
put
fo rth
$500,000. T he tribes will pick
up a balance o f $700,000.
“So w e’re looking at a tar
get o f D ecem ber 22 to have
e v ery th in g o n lin e,” Spino
said. “Simnasho will have an
arsenic-free water supply by
Christmas.”
The goal has taken nearly
12 years to achieve, Spino
said. “This has been a long,
hard process1 o f getting ev
erything done. But once -we
fo u n d the funding, things
started to roll fairly quickly.
There is a light at the end o f
this tunnel.”

Easy solution to cloudy water
A fter last week’s work
on a water main in Warm
Springs, some areas o f the
community were reporting
cloudy water coming from
the faucet. Roy Spino is
happy to report that this is
n o t out o f the ordinary. In
repairing the water main,
he said, w orkers used a
technique to oxygenate the
water supply.
L et your faucet w ater
run for about 15 minutes,
Spino said. T his will re
move the air bubbles, and
the water will appear clear
once again.
