Drought, lack of measurable rain drains Willamette Valley reservoirs Army Corps of Engineers hosts info session on low lake levels PORTLAND, Ore. – Nearly 50 days without measurable rain, combined with hot, dry conditions, has made reservoir levels in the Willamette Valley the lowest in six years. Additionally, forecasts are not predicting enough precipitation to alleviate the ongoing drought in the Pacific Northwest. To help the public under- stand the conditions, the U.S. Army Corps of Engi- neers, Portland District will host an info session today (Aug. 5) from 12-1 p.m. to update the public about lake levels and recreation opportunities in its 13 Wil- lamette Valley reservoirs. The Willamette Valley Project depends on spring and early summer rainfall to refill and lack of precipi- tation only allowed the sys- tem to refill to 67.4 percent. The lack of measurable rain in the past 50 days has only exacerbated the situation. The Corps invites the public to attend the session to learn more about current operations, future forecasts and impacts to the Willa- mette Valley System. The public can access the session online at the following address: us- ace1.webex.com/usace1/j. php?MTID=m2911e4975c- b2e7c7922648c2909452b3 or call 1-844-800-2712. The access code is 199 747 0306 #. The Willamette Valley Project’s 13 reservoirs are currently 45 percent full. System-wide reservoir stor- age are 55 percent below the rule curve. Year-to-date precipita- tion across the Willamette was 82 percent of normal, as of Aug. 2. The snowpack is zero percent of median for the Willamette – there is no snowpack left. Snowmelt helps keep reservoir elevations up in the summer if it lasts and matches outflows – but it only accounts for roughly 10 percent of the system’s storage – there is no snow- pack left this year. The Corps manages res- ervoir inflows based on a “rule curve,” or the autho- rized maximum elevation on a given day to balance flood risk and storage for authorized purposes. The Willamette Valley Systems’ reservoirs are kept lower in the winter to re- duce downstream flooding and refilled in the spring to prepare for recreation and adequate flows for fish. Portland District encour- ages the public to visit its “teacup diagrams” before heading out to recreate. The Willamette River Basin teacup diagram can be found at www.nwd-wc. usace.army.mil/nwp/tea- cup/willamette/ or pweb. crohms.org/nwp/teacup/ willamette/. On July 23, the Lane County Sheriff ’s Office (LCSO) responded to the area of N. Morningstar Rd. and Enterprise Rd. in Pleasant Hill after receiving reports that shots had been fired. A silver Volkswagen Golf and a 2001 Silver Mitsubishi car were observed fleeing the area moments later. On July 31, at around 8:30 a.m., a trooper with the Or- egon State Police spotted a vehicle matching the de- scription of the Mitsubishi and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. The Mitsubishi backed into the trooper’s ve- hicle then fled at a high rate of speed. Troopers and deputies pursued the vehicle and Dia de la Familia event canceled Due to the risk of trans- mission of COVID-19 at this time, the leadership team at South Lane Mental Health (SLMH) has deemed it necessary to postpone its Dia de la Familia event. The event would have taken place this Saturday, Aug. 7 at the Bohemia Park amphitheater. SLMH intends to have this event in the future, but has not yet chosen a time. Debido al riesgo extremo de transmisión de Covid en este momento, el equipo de dirección de South Lane Mental Health ha decidido que es necesario posponer el Día de La Familia evento, que hubiera ocurrido este sábado en el Anfiteatro de Bohemia Park. Intentare- mos de tener este evento en el futuro, pero no sabemos cuándo será en este mo- mento. Lo sentimos mucho y esperamos verlos a todos pronto.
