Logan River Watershed EA

[SkunkedAgain]

I'm probably on both sides of this one since the water will benefit my farm and my fishing.  We did another similar project a couple years back that put our canal water into a pressurized pipe, what we seen was a huge increase in water that was released to the natural river flow, since we no longer wasted water in dirty, leaky ditches that sub and release water all along the way.  This has resulted in more water left in the channels for the fish to survive... This new project will simply put the water in the pipe further up the ditch so more water can be saved and left in the actual river channel, where the last project released the extra water into tributaries that dump into Cutler down stream of the Logan river...  What we gain as farmers is gravity flow so we don't have to pay the power company to pump up the pressure, and the water is left in the river channel through Logan so it won't dry up as much through the summer as it currently does.  I think it's a win-win opportunity for both sides of my personality... Just my take... Later Jeff
