Tribes look to resume aggregate mining
There are three sites on
the reservation that appear
to be excellent for the aggre-
gate crushed rock market.
The sites have been mined
in the past, but the program
has not been in operation for
some years now.
Then two years ago, tribal
management pursued and
won a grant to re-evaluate the
sites.
The evaluation work is go-
ing on now: Duane Matt, with
the BIA Minerals and Energy
Development Division, was
in Warm Springs this week.
Overseeing the tribal
Education training on bed bugs
The tribes will host a
training summit on bed bug
eradication and prevention
this month. The training will
May 15 at Kah-Nee-Ta, with
participation from tribal de-
partments, IHS, and other
tribal groups as well.
Tribal departments plan-
ning to participate are Utili-
ties, Housing, Early Child-
hood Education Center,
Children’s Protective Ser-
vices, Corrections—really
any department responsible
for a public building or build-
ings, said Russell Graham,
Tribal Sanitarian.
“Our goal is to remove the
fear, and come up with ac-
tionable items to address any
problems,” Mr. Graham said.
Presently, there appears to
be no established or uniform
protocol for Indian Country
in dealing with bed bugs, he
said. For information call
Sanitation at 541-553-4943.
grant, Mr. Matt traveled here
from the Minerals and En-
ergy Development Division
office in Colorado.
He was taking core
samples—down to 50 feet in
depth—at the mining sites.
There appear to be good
quantities of excellent qual-
ity aggregate, said Bruce
Irwin, tribal community de-
velopment director.
The Oregon Department
of Transportation would be
a prospective customer of
the rock, as the mine sites
on the reservation are well
located to ser ve ODOT
projects in the region.
A tribal mining program
could be under War m
Springs Ventures-Construc-
tion.
There would be a poten-
tial for four to six new jobs
with the mining and rock
cr ushing operation, Mr.
Irwin said. The mining sites
are the B-2-20 pit; Indian
Creek, which is the northern
most of the three; and the
David pit near Simnasho.
