The plan presented four alternatives, the most expensive of which would involve damming the Siletz at Sunshine Creek and Big Rock Creek and pumping the water from the proposed Big Rock Creek Reservoir into the Luckiamute River, and building a hydropower power plant along Big Rock Creek. The project was not developed. ER -
