HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday. March 31. I960 County Agent's Office Bureau's Irrigation Studies Of Significance to County Signifi By GENE WINTERS County Extension Agent The reports by John Mangan and Paul Draper or the Bureau of Reclamation at the Heppner. Morrow county Chamber of Commerce meeting Monday show a landmark has been passed in the county with two irrigation feasibility studies now underway. Mangan announced the long awaited south bank study of the Columbia T.iver has started. Draper Is concerned with the classifying of soils along Willow i Creek to determine suitability for Irrigation from water im pounded bv the proposed Wil low Creek dam upstream from Heppner. Although the Willow Creek project is under the sponsorship of the Corps of En gineers, the Bureau of Reclama tion has the irrigation respon sibilities. The Irrigation suitability clas sification of the Bureau of Rec lamation is designed to select lands for Irrigation under laws and policies governing water re source development in the west ern states. In this system of classifica tion, lands are grouped having similar physical and economic qualities which affect suitabil ity for Irrigation. Such classes express the level of payment ca pacity. Class 1 has the highest level of irrigation suitability, hence the highest payment ca pacity. Class 3 has the lowest suitability and payment capac ity. Class 4 designates special uses or conditions. Class 5 is used only for a temporary de- lgnatlon. Class 6 is land not suitable for irrigation develop ment. Soil scientists for the Bureau examine the soil for effective usable soil depth, water reten tion and supplying capacity basic Intake rates, permeability and drainage, the amount and kinds of salts, the sodium stat us, the topography, and other similar tests. Much of the land along Wil low Creek has been previously soil surveyed by the Soil Con servation Service. The land capability classifica tion by the SCS has some sim ilarity but for a different pur pose. The SCS classification Is designed to provide individual land owners and operators the information needed for soil-water-crops management. Besides soils Information, Dra per collects information needed by economists, hydrologlsts and engineers concerned with the protect. Needed information is used to determine the produc tivitv of the land, cost of pro duction and land development costs within the locale of the Willow Creek Project.
