West Extension Report Outlines Umatilla Irrigation Plan
The board endorses Scheme No. 4 for the West Extension of the Umatilla project, proposing to irrigate about 20 500 acres using a Three Mile Falls diversion and seepage return flows. It calls for private land purchases by condemnation if needed and requires 96 percent private land agreement before work begins, while delaying larger schemes until water rights on the Umatilla are secured.
