Water
Trafficking
Continued from A1
Continued from A1
Last year, 16 participants
with senior water rights
spanning 770 acres turned
off their water pumps on 21
“alert days,” saving roughly
6.6 million gallons of water
for fish per day.
In exchange, the irriga-
tors receive direct payments
through the program from a
variety of sources, including
the Freshwater Trust and Ore-
gon Watershed Enhancement
Board.
By 2015, stakeholders be-
gan looking at other options
to bolster summer flows in
Fifteenmile Creek. First, Ol-
son said they hired an engi-
neering firm to study build-
ing an off-channel reservoir,
though it proved too prob-
lematic and expensive.
Irrigators instead shifted
their focus to underground
storage, which appeared to be
a viable alternative given the
basin’s hydrology and aqui-
fers.
To prove whether the the-
ory is correct, Olson said they
will develop a small-scale pi-
lot project on a quarter-acre
of private land. The Wasco
SWCD has applied to divert 1
cubic feet per second of water
from Fifteenmile Creek be-
tween December and March,
totaling 110 acre-feet of stor-
age.
The water would be placed
in an infiltration basin, allow-
ing it to filter down through
the soil until it reaches a se-
ries of gravity-fed pipes. The
pipes would send the water
to a sump, which would then
pump it into the basalt well.
Olson said it remains un-
clear who will own and op-
erate the facility. “At the end
of the day, that’s still the mil-
lion-dollar question,” she said.
Once the water is returned
in-stream, it would not be
available for irrigation with-
drawals.
“However, it will still pro-
vide a benefit as we hope to
strike an ecological balance to
support aquatic species and
help irrigators to continue
using their full water right as
long into the summer as pos-
sible,” Olson said.
The Google grant was
awarded to the Wy’East Re-
Federal narcotics agents,
along with the FBI, Oregon
State Police and Tigard po-
lice, used wiretaps, confiden-
tial sources and surveillance
to identify and arrest Beltran
Arredondo, Rodriguez Barri-
entos and accused drug run-
ners in an investigation that
began last fall.
They also seized about
115,000 counterfeit oxyco-
done pills stamped “M30,”
suspected to contain fentanyl,
along with about 41 pounds
of methamphetamine and 57
pounds of heroin, according
to court documents.

Police arrested Beltran
Arredondo and Rodriguez
Barrientos in Las Vegas on
Feb. 17. They made their first
appearances in federal court
in Portland last week. Their
attorneys entered not guilty
pleas on their behalf.
Federal agents seized a 2021

home revealing $4,360 in cash

Canelo Alvarex boxing match,
according to court records.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Pe-
ter Sax said Beltran Arredondo
and Rodriguez Barrientos
lived extravagantly in a fancy
house with a luxury car on the
profit of fentanyl pills that have
helped fuel an opioid epidemic
“so ruinous to so many mem-
bers of our community.”
Counterfeit prescription
pills are being made with fen-
tanyl because its more potent
and cheaper. In 2019, there
were 280 unintentional over-
dose deaths in Oregon. In
2020, there were 472. And in
the first 8 months of last year,
there were 473 unintentional
overdose deaths, with many of
these deaths caused by coun-
terfeit oxycodone pills made
from fentanyl, according to
prosecutors and the Oregon
Health Authority.

Fifteenmile Creek flows about 1.5 miles upstream from where irriga-
tors plan to build a small-scale pilot project testing underground water
storage to replenish low summer streamflows for Endangered Species
Act-listed steelhead.
source Conservation and De-
velopment Area Council, a
project partner and regional
nonprofit based in The Dalles
that works with irrigators in
Central Oregon to improve
their water and energy effi-
ciency.
Robert Wallace, the coun-
cil’s executive director, said
one of the biggest benefits of
underground water storage
for irrigators will be taking
pressure off them to protect
ESA-listed steelhead, espe-
cially during drought years.
“We’ve got to figure out
how to allow irrigators to
continue irrigating, and do it
in a manner that we can pro-
tect the fish that are in the
stream,” Wallace said. “A lot
of irrigators are worried about
litigation. They don’t want to
see another fish kill.”
The project has also re-
ceived funding from the Or-
egon Water Resources De-
partment and OWEB. Olson
said construction of the first
infiltration basin could break
ground this summer, with the
first water diversions happen-
ing over the winter.
“It’s been a long road, and a
big question that we’re trying
to solve,” she said. “I’m glad
we have such proactive irriga-
tors who want to do the right
thing.”
