Following are comments I offer on Task 1.J & 3.D Engineering Design Tech 
Memo.pdf
 
Page 5, # 4 line 3: "...the irrigation needs 

Top of Page 5: "The total volume of 100,000 AF will be supplied in increments.  The 
supply increments selected for this feasibility-level assessment are approximately 25,000, 
45,000 or 55,000, and a full volume of 100,000 AF."
 
Your meaning might be more clear if you talked in phases like 25,000 AF, 20,000 AF for 
a total of 55,000 AF, and 45,000 AF for a total of 100,000 AF
 
Page 16 item 4.2. You state a full build-out of 25,000 is needed, the explain how that 
breaks out.  At the top of page 17 you indicate that onlly 7,500 AF is considered, becase 
of the size of the water right.  Is there any thought as to how the additional 17,500 will 
be obtained?  
 
Page 20 #2: Small-Scale Surface Reservoirs.  Take a look at our web site for proposed 
surface water storage sites, under the Oregon Water Supply and Conservation link, then 
potential water storage sites link.  We have a number of identified sites with all the 
available information included.  You might be able to highlight one or two as standouts.
