cil indicated that that it would
inform the DEQ that the city
was investigating the pos
sibility and would hold a
public hearing on the subject
sometime in the future.
In other business, the
council voted to approve a
restricted liquor license to the
West of Willow restaurant.
The license, if given final
approval by the Oregon
Liquor Control Commission,
would allow the restaurant to
serve "hard" liquor at ban
quets and catered parties.

complete, "I haven't found
any significant errors in the
Corps' analysis," said Chuck
Steele of the FIA's regional
office in Seattle. One of the
FIA specialists checking the
data stated that the Corps'
methods used in determining
the 100 year flood level were
"technically appropriate,"
and stated further that "the
figures may even be underest
imated for potential flooding."
"The potential is there,"
Steele told those attending the
lone public hearing. "In other
parts of the basin, you have
already seen floods that far
exceed the 100-year project
ions," he said, citing Hep
pner's 1903 flood and a flood in
Shobe Canyon earlier this
decade as examples.
The comments were cooly
received by those attending
the public meeting, many of
whom voiced criticism and
skepticism over the flood
projections. "You haven't
seen it, so you can't believe
it," said Steele after one such
exchange. "...But that doesn't
mean that it's not going to
happen."
While conceding that flood
zone designations "will have a
very serious impact on lone,"
Steele stated that the situation
may not "be as bleak as some
have envisioned. We never
like to say that something is
totally lost."
Steele noted that all existing
homes in the flood-designated
areas, plus those built before
the flood insurance program
becomes final in 1980, would
be able to carry the current
subsidized flood insurance
rate of 25 cents per $100 of
value, under a "grandaddy"
clause. Such homes in the
flood zones could be sold, with
the insurance transferable to
new owners at the same rates.
Participation in the flood
insurance program, however,
would require cities to pass
ordinances outlawing any new
construction in floodway des
ignated areas. However,
Steele said, variances could
possibly be granted in isolated
instances in floodway zones,
following a case-by-case re
view. But, Steele acknow
ledged, "to put in a new
subdivision can't be permit
ted." Cities granting large
numbers of variances would
likely risk being expelled from

the insurance program, he
noted.
In flood plain designated
areas, new housing is still
possible, if builders use fill or
raise foundations to place the
floor level above the 100-year
flood elevation. Since much of
the flood plain area lies only
two or three feet below the
100-year flood crest "an extra
block in the foundation or a
foot or two of fill" may be all it
would take to build a new
home in compliance with
regulations.
Ron Barrett of the Corps of
Engineers told members of
the Morrow County Intergov
ernmental Council that a
completed preliminary flood
map for Heppner would be
completed by May of next
year. That map would become
official, if an appeals proc
edure fails to turn up any valid
criticism of the date.
Steele said the two FIA
specialists reviewing the lone
flood plain data are checking
for validity "that would hold
up in a court of law."
"The only reason the city
went along with this dam was
to eliminate the flood plain in
Heppner," Mayor Jerry
Sweeney said, after seeing the
preliminary map Tuesday for
the first time. "I don't see how
we could justify it now. ..I
know the council won't go
along with this."

TRANSFORMERS CAN DELIVER ONLY
SO MUCH ENERGY, AND PUSHING THEM
BEYOND THEIR CAPACITY CAN DO THEM
IN!
If you have recently installed electric heat in
your home, or if you are planning to do so, please
contact us at once. Electric heat loads forced
air furnaces, heat pumps, baseboard, radiant, or
portable space heaters put a large strain on the
electrical system, and we need to take steps to
assure delivery of sufficient power to your home.
If your transformer was installed before you
added electric heat, it may now be undersized for
the load. If you alert us to this possibility, we can
install a higher-capacity transformer at no charge to you to help be certain that the
next cold, winter morning when you turn on your heat, you won't be without power
because of a burnt-out transformer.
Please call us if you have added or are planning to add any sizeable electric heat
loads, so we can work with you to ensure continued dependable electric service.
