7 AUG - SPECIAL ELECTION UPDATE | |
On 5 April 2023, the Department of the Interior announced a $8.75 Million investment to study and repair Klamath Reclamation Project irrigation canals under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). This money was passed to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to exercise control of the funding.

Fiscal Year 2023 Aging Infrastructure Projects, Bureau of Reclamation (usbr.gov)
Since Reclamation is stating the available funding may only be accessed through a contract with the United States requiring repayment, ORS 545.511(a)(b) requires K.I.D. to conduct an election to determine the right of the District to enter into a repayment contract with the United States. Therefore, the K.I.D. Board has ordered an election to enable landowners to vote on this measure in response to the Secretary of the Interior’s announcement of a funding opportunity for investment in the A Canal and the Upper C Canal to address acute issues identified in routine inspections.
On August 7, 2023, the Klamath Irrigation District (K.I.D. / District) will be conducting an election on Klamath Irrigation District 2023 Ballot Measure No. 1. A copy of Measure 1 can be read here.
K.I.D. encourages every patron to review the measure, gather information, and participate in the election.
CAPTION
AUTHORIZES KID BOARD TO NEGOTIATE AND ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH UNITED STATES TO BORROW A MAXIMUM OF $3.75 MILLION FOR REPAIR WORK ON C-CANAL
RESULT OF “YES” VOTE:
A “yes” vote authorizes the K.I.D. Board of Directors to negotiate and contract with the United States Bureau of Reclamation to borrow $3.75 million to be used for repair and improvements to the Upper C-Canal, including costs of engineering and required environmental assessments.
RESULT OF “NO” VOTE
A “no” vote does not allow the K.I.D. Board of Directors negotiate and enter into a contract with the United States Bureau of Reclamation to borrow a maximum of $3.75 million to finance costs of engineering, environmental impact assessments, and repair and improvements to the Upper C-Canal.
SUMMARY
Based on information gathered from routine inspections, the Board of Directors has determined there is a need for repairs and improvements to the A-Canal and Upper C-Canal. Before these repairs and improvements can be made, engineering and environmental assessment work must be completed. The K.I.D. Board is considering negotiating and entering into a contract with the United States Bureau of Reclamation to borrow a maximum of $3.75 million to finance the cost of this repair work. If K.I.D. enters a contract with Reclamation to borrow these funds, the borrowed amount, plus interest and any penalties, would be repaid over time with funds K.I.D. collects through annual assessments. If K.I.D. does not contract with the United States Bureau of Reclamation to borrow these funds, the K.I.D. Board will be required to decide whether to forgo the repairs and improvements or proceed with the repairs and improvements and find a different way to pay for the costs. If K.I.D. contracts to borrow money from the United States, it may impact KID’s existing requests for title transfer of certain irrigation works, as the United States will likely require the borrowed funds to be fully repaid before issuing legal title of the infrastructure to K.I.D.. However, it is also unknown whether the United States will otherwise grant K.I.D.’s existing title transfer requests.

2023 IRRIGATION SEASON UPDATE | | |
Reclamation Issues 2023 Drought Plan
On 5 July 2023, Reclamation issued its 2023 Drought Plan. Oregon Water Conditions Report published on 17 July 2023 states, “Reservoir storage contents are measuring near or above normal in many USBR (including Klamath) projects.”
Neither Oregon, nor California's Governors have declared a drought in the Klamath Basin.
Reclamation's 2023 pseudo drought plan demands Klamath Irrigation District to limit Warren Act districts and individual farmers to only deliver 0.6 acre feet of water per acer. On average, crops grown in the Klamath Reclamation Project require 2 acre feet of water per acre applied to a field for a marketable product.
|
K.I.D.'s District Manager has signed over 100 curtailment letters since Reclamation published its pseduo drought plan in direct conflict with his contractual obligations
Reclamation's Klamath Basin Area Office is issuing guidance contrary to K.I.D.'s contractual obligations. Although greater quantities of water are physically available for diversion in Upper Klamath Lake, the District is not exercising authority over other district or individual contracts. The Districts and Landowners for whom K.I.D. has assumed the United States’ water delivery obligations own rights to divert and use greater quantities of water. The contractual obligations K.I.D. has assumed entitle these contractors to the delivery of greater quantities of water. Reclamation is not obligated to keep the elevation of UKL at or above 4139.2 under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The absence of any ESA obligation to keep the elevation of UKL at or above 4139.2 is expressly admitted in the Drought Plan itself, which states:
“Reclamation will operate the Project to achieve an end-of-season UKL minimum elevation of 4,139.2 feet, exceeding the FWS BiOP minimum elevation requirement of 4,138 feet.”
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife BiOp provides that the existence of endangered suckers in UKL will not be jeopardized so long as the elevation of UKL is at or above 4,138 feet at the end of the irrigation season. This elevation is set above natural fall conditions to prevent pelican predation at the entrance to Pelican Bay. Previous opinions stated an elevation of 4,137.7 allowed 3 feet of water to be above the natural reef to Pelican Bay; this opinion is based upon one observer in a different watershed observing pelicans diving up to 3 feet, so the suggestion was adopted for UKL.
The Department of Interior attorneys expect K.I.D. to follow the unlawful directives from the Klamath Basin Area Office. The 1954 Contract imposes a mandatory duty on K.I.D. to deliver water “in the quantities, at the times and the points of diversion from the transferred works as required from time to time by the contractors that have executed contracts with the United States in such manner as to meet obligations which Reclamation has assumed under said contracts.” See, Article 13(e).

1 August 2023 Muti-District Operations Meetings Notes
District Managers across the Klamath Reclamation Project hold a routine meeting to discuss operations and deconflict inter-district issues. In our last meeting, Reclamation representatives expressed the following:
The unnaturally high fall elevation for Upper Klamath Lake of 4,139.2 is 1.2 feet above the buffer on the biological opinion of the elevation opined for the endangered suckers to escape pelican predation as the suckers move in and out of Pelican Bay. This elevation is anticipated to be reached much sooner than some of the farmers will have their crops ready for harvest to bring to market. Very little water is available for the needs of our ecosystem and refuges at this unnaturally high fall elevation on Upper Klamath Lake.
Inflows to Upper Klamath Lake were well under expectations for July; the amount of water observed as inflow to the lake on many days this year is less than we have seen in the last several years of drought.
Reclamation asked the district managers how they were going to manage the end of season demands given that between 10,000 to 50,000 acre-feet of water is now not anticipated as being available above the 4,139.2 Reclamation unfounded edict.
The district managers expressed their frustration with Reclamation's approach to the situation and asked Reclamation representatives to reassess their analysis on end of season lake levels given numerous factors, to include the effects of dam removal activities and ditrict legal obligations. No response to the manager's questions are currently available.
Reclamation's charts shared with the managers on 1 August can be reviewed here...
Given current crop demand, weather conditions, and other factors, it is likely that the elevation of Upper Klamath Lake in mid-August may result in conflict with Reclamation's 4,139.2 fiat.

A Canal Maintenance Update | |
Acute conditions along the 9 miles of urban canal above most of the town of Klamath Falls, Altamont, and other suburban areas continue to keep the focus of the district's management staff.
Several of the active areas are stable in no addition property damage is being observed. Routine inspections of these areas indicate conditions are not deteriorating.
The district has conducted core-trenching of the A Canal near the Klamath Union High School in the recent days which appears to have temporarily resolved a recuring problem near the old Herald and News building. Many problems related to the 2021 denial of water to the system by Reclamation have been addressed.
Regional and national level Reclamation staff conducted a full day of inspections of the urban canal sections on 1 August 2023 with no new findings or recommendations for the District to address.
Technical staff from Denver collected data with ground penetrating radar and electrical conductivity probing along a select portion of the A Canal the week of 10 July. The results of this data collection are anticipated to take 4 weeks to be processed and provided to Reclamation's local area office. A GeoTech performed an inspection of this select area below the A Canal in early July. These results are not yet available for analysis. The district manager provided updates to the residents in this neighborhood on 25 July. This resulted in additional information being shared with the District and additional data being requested and collected for analysis. The District has asked select stakeholders to address some issues which may be contributing to the observed excessive ground water levels.
Reclamation has indicated it is willing to spend $5 Million in development of an engineering design to address select areas of the A Canal. No other requested non-reimbursable funding our team has lobbied for is currently available to begin addressing these infrastructure issues.
The District has asked our partners to encourage Reclamation to look at its authority under the Infrastructure Law’s Section 40904 funding for Critical Maintenance and Repair to provide non-reimbursable assistance to improve the infrastructure above the state the infrastructure was constructed for human safety concerns. Reclamation's response was this would require a Commissioner level discussion; no discussion is currently scheduled.
Our elected representative are informed of the situation and are attempting to assist the District find any non-reimbursable funding opportunities.

2024 Pre-budget Development Update | |
Per Oregon Revised Statue 545, District By-Laws, and policy, the District Executive Director must present the 2024 requested budget to the district Board of Directors for their approval at or prior to the November Board of Directors meeting. The executive director is currently working on the 2024 budget request.
As K.I.D. begins looking at maintenance tasks this fall and into 2024 the following items are weighing on our calculators:
- A Canal fall maintenance tasks will likely be more detailed this maintenance season than in the previous few years.
- Link River Dam operations and maintenance costs are increasing in 2024 to over $300,000 (over triple than budgeted for 2023).
- Reclamation's desire to improve the Link River Dam may result in Reclamation asking the farmers to enter into a long-term repayment contract for the repairs desired.
- Keno Dam operations and maintenance costs are projected to be over $300,000 in 2024, with some portion of this cost being expressed as the responsibility of Klamath Reclamation Project farmers. This is a new expense.
- - Reclamation appears to not have a clear plan to how to operate and maintain the Keno dam.
- - Our U.S. CongressionalRepresentatives's requests to have Reclamation address the immense costs associated with Keno are yet unanswered.
- Addressing areas where emergency repairs were made in 2023 will require a significant amount of time and resources.
- Title Transfer costs currently are unknown, although the debt to the U.S. was paid off on 4 May 1965, Reclamation claims more funds are due to the Federal government to transfer ownership of the property to the people who paid 100% for the building, maintenance, and operation of the infrastructure.
- The cost of materials for bridge maintenance, culverts, rock, fuel, and steel all continue to increase at rates not seen since the early 1970s.
- Parts for the A Canal Headworks and pumping stations are becoming harder to find, and more expensive if they are able to be found. Finding a balance between fabricating parts to fix outdated equipment or investing in new equipment that is not built to the same level of quality is a fine line to performing the cost-benefit analysis.
- Balancing modernization to make the system more efficient and desire to reduce risks with the requirement to maintain the current infrastructure in various states of disrepair. To date, the BIL and Inflation Reduction Act have not benefited the district with any funding to offset costs to the farmers who pay to operate the District. PL566 funds are anticipated to help the D Canal system improvement plan over the next several years. WaterSMART grants have proven to be time vampires with our 2020 SCADA WaterSMART grant not yet fully approved since it was announced nearly 3 years ago. Although we are moving forward slowly, we do not have approval for 3 sites, and inflation is eating heavily into our 2020 projected budget. Applying for other grants exceeding $1M over the past two years has taken a great deal of time with no fruit.

U.S. Supreme Court Petition Update | |
Klamath Irrigation District filed a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court to safeguard water rights from a 2019 case wrongfully dismissed by the federal district court.
The petition to the Supreme Court signals a crucial juncture in the long-running dispute between farmers and the federal government over water rights in Oregon’s Upper Klamath Lake. Over the past fifty years, the State of Oregon has remained dedicated to finalizing a comprehensive stream adjudication process to accurately determine ALL state and federal water rights in the Upper Klamath Basin. Throughout this process, the federal government and tribes have consistently contested Oregon’s authority to adjudicate their rights. However, over thirty years ago, the Ninth Circuit dismissed these challenges in United States v. State of Or., 44 F3d 758, 762 (9th Cir 1994), ruling that the McCarran Amendment (43 U.S.C. §666) waives the United States’ sovereign immunity, allowing the State of Oregon to adjudicate all state and federal water rights, including those of tribes, in Oregon’s Klamath Basin.

The AG Mag - RB9 Publishing highlights this case
Water Rights Across the West
|
Why is this dismissal important to water-rights holders across the U.S.?
“This dismissal mirrors any place where there’s an overlap between water rights and tribal trust obligations across the West,” said KID Executive Director Gene Souza. “In other words, any water issue on federal land where Native American tribes have an interest can be effectively shut down by tribal interests citing sovereignty.”
Souza said the McCarran Amendment, which was enacted into law by Congress in 1952 and is named for Senator Pat McCarran of Nevada. “Describes what’s going
on in the Klamath Basin. The Feds have continuously tried to sidestep this piece of legislation.”
Yet, according to KID’s Supreme Court petition, since the adjudication order was issued, the federal government has consistently failed to comply, diverting stored water in Upper Klamath Lake for non-irrigation purposes and depriving KID and its landowners of the property/ water they are entitled to under their adjudicated water rights.
Native American Tribes intervened in the case, claiming potential indirect impacts on their interests and invoking Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 19 to seek dismissal of
KID’s case against the federal government. The tribal claims were based on the claim that their sovereign immunity prevented KID from including them as parties, as mandated by Rule 19. The trial court concurred with the Tribe’s argument, resulting in the dismissal of KID’s case and with no ability to enforce its water rights.
