Complete Report Of
Water Group Given
Th following over-all reDort
of the Jackson county water re
sources ommittee will be pre
sented with sub-committee re
ports to the public during a
county-wide meeting Monday at
8 p.m. in the courthouse.
The same report will be pre
sented the state water resourceiy
board at 8 p.m. Dec. 11 in the
county courthouse. This, too, is a
public meeting.
Members of the Jackson coun
ty water resources committee
and the members of the sub-committees,
representing the various
phases of water use in the coun
ty, appreciate greatly this oppor
tunity to present their views on
the future use of surplus and un
appropriated water in the coun
ty. The views expressed by the
committee and in the reports of
the sub-committees are based on
studies made by the more than
110 committee members. These
studies utilized the facts avail
able and were made with the
knowledge that optimum use of
the county's water will to a large
extent depend on the findings
and recommendations of this
board and on the findings and
recommendations of the Corps
of Engineers, U. S. Army as im
plemented by the state legisla
ture and the congress of the
United States. The studies of the
sub-committees, although direct
ed toward a particular water use,
were made with an appreciation
of the necessary multiple use of
water, and with the recognition
thai any subsequently developed
water use plan must also, in all
probability, be a compromise;
since "ideal" conditions of water
use for each interest are, for the
most part, not campatible. Fur
thermore, although the reports
are for Jackson county, the com
mittees fully appreciate the ne
cessity of a basin-wide approach
to such a study.
Findings Outlined
The Jackson county water re
sources committee with the unan
imous agreement of the sub-committee
chairmen submits its find
ings as follows:
1. The Rogue river and its
tributaries are a major resource
of Jackson county.
2. There exist at the present
time certain problems associated
with the Rogue river system
which demand solution:
a. Floods flooding presents
a threat to life and is very cost
ly in terms of property dam
age. b. Threat to the fishery in
adequate minimum flows, in
creased fishing pressure, pol
lution, and floods threaten the
maintenance of the sports
fishery even at its present
level.
c. Pollution certain tribu
taries present a potential men
ace to health, and an unques
tionable loss to property, es-
tb-s basin's water will
solve. Increasing popula-
thetic, and recreational values
because of man introduced
substances and turbidity, and
inadequte minimum flows.
Problem in Watershed
d. Erosion less than the op
timum in watershed manage
ment practices has resulted in
erosion in certain of the moun
tain segments of the watershed
and an increasing stream chan
nel erosion problem in the
valley lands.
3. There are other problems of
the basin, both now existant and
foreseeable, which vise develop
ment of
help
tion will require increased mu
nicipal and domestic water, more
work opportunities, and in
creased recreational opportuni
ties. The long run transition to a
sustained yield program in the
primary timber industry of the
county may well result in the
need for new job opportunities
for some of those now employed
in that field.
4. Historically there has been
a conflict of interest between the
various types of water users,
however this committee realis
tically recognizes that the Rogue
basin in its middle segment is not
a primitive area, that irrespec
tive of the desirability of setting
it aside as such from a recrea
tional standpoint, it is some fifty
years too late. On the other
hand, recreation is a major basin
resource and should be so re
garded in any plan of develop
ment. 5. As outlined in the report of
the sub-committee on industry,
mining and power, future eco
nomic development of the basin
will probably be found in the
field of agriculture with its as
sociated service industries. Sec
ondly, a development of the
chemical wood by-product indus
try should be encouraged when
suitable water and air pollution
safeguards are developed.
Should Be Multiple Us
6. Any plan of development
should be multiple use in char
acter. It is recognized that any
such plan is unlikely to afford
all desirable characteristics to
all water users. It is the belief
of this committee that given the
facts in regards to such plans
facts developed through studies
by competent technicians in the
pertinent physical and biological
fields that reasonable men,
faced with those facts, will suc
cessfully reconcile their differ
ences. 7. It is recognized that as part
of any plan of water develop
ment a main stem structure may
be a component. Depending on
its location such a structure could
have an adverse effect on an
dromus fish the lower down on
the main stem the more dele
terious the effect. The commit
tee holds its essential that any
