Massive Cement Use on Umatilla Dam Project
The Hermiston Independent reports heavy cement use by the reclamation service on the Umatilla project. One thousand barrels monthly from Pacific Portland Cement are shipped from Tolenas. Concrete goes into dam structures including the inlet to the feed canal, reservoir gates, gate tower, and the waste way to counter possible floods. Engineers predict spill may never be needed, but the wasteway ensures safety by diverting flood waters if necessary.
