Benton Unit to Be Surveyed Next in Yakima Valley
Secretary Gardner cites a Poindexter letter indicating the Benton reclamation survey is next on the department schedule and will occur when crews are free from Yakima Valley work. Army engineers recommend surveying Benton first, while high line project promoters seek legislation to sell water for their plan. They deem Benton feasible, while the high line remains impracticable due to cost, forecasting a fall order for Benton survey.
