Thome warns on soil and wind erosion Senator Mike Thorne spoke lo approximately 50 people on the subject of wind erosion control at the annual meeting of the Soil and Water Conser vation District at the A. C. Houghton School Friday. Senate Bill 13 is being considered by the legislature at this time, Senator Thorne said it was necessary to take time to make it effective and to educate the people to the need. The Department of Environmental Quality has the authority to ask control if sand is blowing into some body of water, according to the Water Control Act of 1972. However, in this area we have more wind erosion than water. The proposed legislation would put the control in the hands of local soil and water districts. "Too much control could discourage land developers and this is not desired, only compliance with control reg ulations, such as when you plant and when to plow," Thorne said. Eastern Oregon often has 60 mile an hour winds that can be a hazard with blowing sands on roads and sometimes filling irriga tion ditches. It was suggested that those who allow sand to blow on County roads should bare the cost lo have it cleaned up. II was slated that Willow Creek empties 500 acre feet of sedimentation into the Colum bia River annually, according to a survey.

IIKill STl'DENT BODY Fl'ND YOU MAY HAV NOTICD US... Jurnax Pacific representatives have been in the Umatilla- Mnrrow Countv area for several weeks, making tests and gathering information. You may have heard that we are taking options on land ...and you very likely have wondered why we have been doing so much and saying so little. Frankly until our studies are complete and we know all the facts required to make our decision on a proposed primary aluminum reduction plant site, we can't make any positive announcement. Right now, Alumax Pacific is investigating several possible sites in the Umatilla-MorTOw County area. Some of our people are engaged in making detailed studies of the land, air and water. Others are researching population, housing, service industries, transporta tion, public facilities, utilities... all the natural effects of plant con struction. Alumax Pacific wants to make certain that our plant will be beneficial to your community. All this careful checking takes time. Obviously then, we have nothing specific to report now, nor will we in the immediate future. However, we thank you for your friendly welcome and for your assistance in completing our research studies. We promise you this: Just as soon as it is possible for us to publish progress reports or to announce a definite decision... we will make that information public. Meanwhile, we are pleased to be here working with you who form the Umatilla-Morrow County community. PACIFIC CORPORATION N;vfp'' WO S 4!" V PORTIAND 0SON lone, Ore. 422-7254
