Mays Testifies To Congress Support City Ownership Of Watershed Land

The Dalles Mayor Rich Mays testified before a House subcommittee in support of legislation that would give the City ownership of 150 acres of current Forest Service land within The Dalles’ municipal watershed adjacent to the City’s reservoir.   Mays says the transfer would make it easier for the City to make needed improvements to reservoir and the Crow Creek Dam, cutting down on the permitting necessary with Forest Service ownership.  Mays emphasized the request is not a knock on the Forest Service, noting it has been helpful to the City in past projects.  Oregon Second District Congressman Cliff Bentz authored “The Dalles Watershed Development Act” that was heard by the House Natural Resources Committee’s subcommittee on Federal Lands, and he says he’ll continue to work to advance the legislation.
