Job Interview (junior):
DEQ, SWCDS work to
improve water quality
The Oregon Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) and
the Morrow and Gilliam County
Soil and Water Conservation
Distncts (SWCDs) have begun
working on a water quality report
and management plan for the Willow
Creek Basin. The report, known
as a Total Maximum Daily Load
(TMDL), and management plan
will define steps needed to meet
clean water standards and protect
watershed health in the Willow
Creek Basin.
The WillowCreek Basin consists
of 880 square miles of public and
private land in Morrow and Gilliam
Counties, including the communities
of Heppner, Lexington and lone.
Major water bodies in the basin
include Willow Creek, the Willow
Creek Reservoir, and Eight Mile,
Hinton and Rhea creeks.
"Waterquality suffers in streams
throughout the Willow Creek Basin.
Unnaturally
high
stream
temperatures and pH levels are
endangering steelhead and trout
populations. In addition, exposure
to unnaturally high bacteria levels,
from swimming or other contact
recreation, poses a public health
risk," said a DEQ news release.
The Willow Creek Basin TMDL
will set goals for the reduction of
temperature, bacteria, pH, and other
factors that are causing poor water
quality. The management plan,
which will describe how these goals
can be met, will address pollution
from various sources, including run­
off from agricultural lands, forest
lands and urban areas, and elevated
stream temperatures caused by
stream-side vegetation removal and
channel widening.
The Willow Creek Basin TMDL
and management plan are scheduled
for completion by December 2001.
There will be a 30-to-60-day public
comment period before the
documents become final. Public
input and participation is encouraged
throughout the TMDL process.
For more information contact
the Morrow or Gilliam County
SWCDs, or call Don Butcher, DEQ
Willow Creek TMDL Coordinator,
at 278-4603.
