| Notes | This report is part of a study conducted by the Bureau of Reclamation along with Lincoln, Polk and Yamhill Counties, looking at possible water storage (dams) on the Siletz River for “domestic, municipal and industrial water supply” in the area. 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. |
