Wasco County Commissioners are watching the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s process of updating flood maps, and its planned implementation of a National Marine Fisheries Service biological opinion to tighten various uses of lands in some flood plains. County Commissioner Scott Hege says the Oregon’s land use system already has rules in place to deal with those lands, and some of the NMFS rules run counter to them. FEMA has scheduled open houses on the flood plain maps on May 23 at The Dalles High School and May 24 at Wamic Community Center, both running from 5:30 to 7:30.
