Against Re: Willow Creek Dam Gentlemen: Enclosed please find origi nals and copies of the pett tion I have circulated among the riparian owners and own ers of adjudicated water rig hts on Willow Creek in op position to the Willow Cret k Dam. We dtfinately opjiose the irrigation aspects of the Willow Creek Dam develop ment and are content with present methods of handling the same on Willow Creek. We object to the water be ing stopped and used by others by the creation of the Dam. We feel that the Dam will infringe uon our water rig hts and we are definitely sa tisfied with the present ir rigated lands along Willow Creek In no way do we wish to oppose the flood control aspects of the Dam, but we certainly do oppose the ir rigation proposals. We are certain that if the Willow Creek Dam is con structed and the water im pounded, the other uses pro posed, such as recreation and fish and wildlife deve lopment will infringe upon the irrigation waters available. Our home ranch is at Cecil, Oregon, which is well down the creek, yet we feel that we get in normal years ade quate water to properly Ir rigate our approximately 411 acres bottomland and raise excellent crops of alfalfa hay. In the past, we have ex pressed our opposition to what we feel to be unsound irrigation development in the Willow Creek Dam proposals, and we feel quite cartain that our objections have been ignored. We are not In favor of the development of a wa ter District nor in the impoundment of water above Heppner, which would affect the flow of irrigation waters during the spring runoff when most of us do our irriga tion. We feel that the pre sent proposals for the use of irrigation waters in the Wil low Creek Dam are unsound, both financially and as a prac tical irrigation system. In connection with this, we would like to see further ju stification of the cost of be nefit ratio as it relates to the irrigation on Willow Creek should the Willow Creek Dam be constructed. I wish to repeat that we do not oppose the flood control aspects but we feel that ei ther inadequate studies have been made as to the effect on the irrigation usages of the water impounded by the Dam, or that they have been ignored entirely. We. would appreciate your investigating this matter more thoroughly and giving us the courtesy of some response to our peti tion. Very truly yours, J.R. Krebs Fire Marshal to Lex meeting State Fire Marshal Stan Phillips will be at the Lex ington Fire Station Tuesday evening at 7:30 for classes on fire fighting procedure. All firemen from lone, Lex ington and Heppner and any others who wish to attendare cordially invited, Chief Forrie Burkenbine said. GT WANT ADg pAy feu.
