In order to expedite the progress of the construction tl at least one of the impound ments. Cutsforth announced plans for a private development under which lake-front lots would be sold and the derived funds used to build the dam so that Penland Lake would be formed. As the summer of 19C8 moved alone, surveys of the site indi cated that at least 25 lots would be available and all were pur chased. Nearly all the buyers live In the Heppner-Lexincton area. In the process of developinc the site. Cutsforth worked with the various government acencies which were involved either be cause of the assistance they could afford or because various types of permission were nec essary before work could pro ceed. The U. S. Forest Service is one of the agencies concerned in the protect because of the lake will be on USFS land. Therefore the Lake Penland Corporation will have to negotiate a use permit for this part of the property. Another agency became in volved because in order to inun date land, an archaeological survey is necessary. This survey has been made and it was de termined that no artifacts or historical sites will be covered. The Oregon State Game Com mission will stock the lake. The Heppner Soil and Water conservation district is involved because the agency was asked to do the engineering for the impoundment. The work would be done through the Heppner district. Permission of the Water Re sources Board of Oregon must be received whenever water is impounded. The Morrow county court is another important party to the development. Relocation of the access road, and improvement and maintenance of this coun ty road, are involved. Tha 9 Ktiu'khnldcra in Lake Penland Corporation, formed or Iglnnlly by Cutsforth as tho means by which the prolect would be financed and develop ed, now anticipate purchase of the property from Cutsforth. This Is the next step. The Lake Penland Corporation must submit plans to the var ious agencies Involved so that working agreements can be signed. In the course of the studies of soil suitability for water im poundment and mapping of the area, it was determined that the dam would best be constructed further south on the prairie than originally planned. The change in the placement of the dam will result in considerably more lake surface doubling the estimated 30 acres to over CO and more shoreline. This will mean more frontage for the public and members of the cor poration.
