Sheriff’s Report f Heppner council endores Irrigon Depot plan continued from page 1 the rest in Umatilla. The Depot has sig nificant assets including rail lines, large buildings and roads, however what Breazeale focused on Mon day night was the igloos and an idea to turn the former munitions storage buildings into mushroom growing rooms. “The mushroom busi ness at first thought to be a small opportunistic side benefit to the industrial buildings. However, after much research, this looks like a huge opportunity to become one of the largest producers in the nation with shipments of 10 mil lion pounds annually and 100 jobs in two years,” the Irrigon plan says. “This could grow to over 30 million pounds just by using the six existing larg est buildings. The produc tion involves compost prod ucts from local wheat straw, poultry manure, canola and other protein meals and benefits many local indus tries. The rail allows bulk shipments of thousands of tons of materials in and bulk shipments and/or bag ship ments of very high value compost out in addition to the mushrooms themselves. Irrigon may have an annual mushroom festival and pa rade to celebrate the eco nomic benefits of a future industry,” the plan says. The plan went on to say that with a rack system each igloo could hold up to 5,000 sq. ft. of trays to grow mushrooms. Each ig- loo could produce $75,000 to $200,000 worth of spe cialty mushroom crops an nual. The first phase could involve 100 igloos. The igloos would be used for growing specialty crops and the larger buildings on the Depot for bulk grow ing op erations. It expected capital investment of $20 million to get started. The darkness and even temperatures of the igloos, which were designed to store chemical weapons for the army long term, would be ideal for mushrooms, the report said. The plan also cited electrical wind generation, grazing and dry land farm ing as other uses for the Depot when it is closed and turned over to civilian usage. “Others have seen the Depot for years as wasted resources, marginal value, run-down dilapidated build ings, and stranded aban doned assets- and nothing has been done to change that,” the plan says. “Irrigon sees this as the opportunity of a lifetime for a community on the move. Irrigon hopes to at tract a following of hope ful, creative and influential people to rescue this op portunity from the brink of destruction and support their dream of a thriving, vibrant, prosperous com munity,” it said. An exact date when the Depot will be closed has not been determined, but Breazeale says it could be by March 2011. Larger buildings on the Umatilla Army Depot could be used for bulk musroom production according to a plan proposed by the city of Irrigon. There will be large job losses when the deport closes in a couple of years and the city wants to create new job opportunities.
