The possible removal of the Chiloquin Dam on the Sprague
River will be the focus of the public meeting of the Modoc Point Irrigation
District at 6 p.m. Aug. 30.
The meeting originally scheduled for Friday has been canceled.
Discussions between officials with the district and the Bureau of Indian
Affairs led to an agreement that removal of the dam was the best option to
increase fish passage on the river.
An election to approve the final terms of the dam’s removal is scheduled
for Sept. 22, but district officials are
holding the meeting on Aug. 30 to provide copies of the agreement its
constituents. Officials from the bureaus of Indian Affairs and Reclamation
will also be on hand to answer any questions.
Any questions regarding the dam’s removal should be directed to the
district’s attorney, Laura A. Schroeder at (503) 281-4100.
