US Army
Corps of
Engineers
hold public
hearing
regarding
Willow Creek
Lake
Continued from front page
ago when water began being
released annually for emer
gency drought usage. He
said recreation users have
gotten used to using water
allocated to irrigation since
it was not being released
from the dam.
Release of the wa
ter would cause harm to fish
in the lake Kuhn said, but
there were no endangered
species in the area. He said
pumpkinseed, largemouth
bass and crappie popula
tions would suffer during
the spawning period through
July 15.
Questions on
water quality at the lake
were also raised. In mid-
August the U.S. Corps of
Engineers issued an algae
advisory due to high levels
of blue-green algae found in
the reservoir.
Water sampling had
confirmed the presence of
blue-green algae in concen
trations which can produce
toxins harmful to humans
and animals, the advisory
said. The Corps had then
notified state and county
health departments.
The advisory warned
against swallowing or inhal
ing water droplets as well
as skin contact with water
by humans or animals. The
toxins apparently cannot be
removed by boiling, filtering
or treating water.
The advisory was
lifted in November; howev
er Kuhn said irrigation draw
downs had minimal effect
on water quality, which was
more related to high nutrient
content coming into the lake
from Willow Creek. He said
the high nutrients would
produce algae blooms, low
dissolved oxygen in bottom
water, increased production
methane, hydrogen sulfide
and ammonia by micro
organisms in bottom water
and sediment. Aerators
installed in the lake to mix
the top and bottom waters to
alleviate the problem were
partially successful, but
also warmed bottom water
and brought nutrients to the
surface which stimulated
algae growth.
Also at the meet
ing was Michael Ladd, the
Oregon Water Resourc
es regional manager from
Pendleton. Ladd explained
the waters rights issues con
nected to the lake, and said
that there were six irrigators
down stream who would
benefit from the irrigation
contracts.
Meanwhil e the
Corps will be accepting pub
lic comment on the irrigation
release proposal until March
5, and anyone wishing to
comment should contact
Carolyn Schneider via email
at Carolyn.b.schneider@
