MR. LASHBAUGH.LASHBAUGH. I am Tom Lashbaugh of thethe Port Commission,Cormnission, PortPot't of o Newport. As II understood, thisthis meeting waswas mostlymosEly forfor conservationconservation and flood control on the upper river. It wouldnrEwouldn't affect the Newport area too much, but as it'sitts swinging intointo thethe navigationnavigaEion and thethe use ofof thethe lowlow river quite a bit, we are definitely interested.interested. We areare doingdoing allall wewe cancan in the bay areaarea for developmentdevelopment and anythinganyLhing thatthat includes the upper river ultimatel-yultimately affectsaffects thethe lowerlower area.area. I have worked with AlA1 Jones before on o some of these, and I think the cooperation of thethe twot\^/o port areasareas helps in the development. If therersthere's anything the Port ofof Newport cancan do in cleaning out thesethlse deadheads and these oldo1d bylands thatthat have beenbeen deserteddeserted years ago, we wiLlwill certainly help all we cancan onon it.it'

The1'he deep water traffic into the Yaquina Bay,Bay, II believe,believe, affects allall o the area inin Lincoln County and even Benton CountyCounty andand otherother areas,areas, and it is tied in -- the moremore that it is developed the more it is tied inin with thethe upper riverriver andand shipping.shipping. As AlA1 explained,explained, thesethese seagoingseagoing barges seem to be expanding and as I understand, theythey areare goinggoing toto start sending these seagoing barges as far as thethe Gulf,Gu1f, andand maybe toto the East -- Coast""ttdittg in theChe future.future. It is hard to say -- thatthat isis u?- to thethe shippingshipping o companies toto develop.develop.

-- -- The debris that comes dovmdown the river andand settlessettles -- thesethese deadheads -- are a definite hazardhazard toto thethe largerlarger barges.barges. We hadhad thethe OlsonOlson tug,tug, thethe Gene Nelson, going out wighwith a barge after theythey hadhad unloaded oiloil atat thethe G-P paper mill.mill-. They were taking off forfor thethe Columbiacolumbia RiverRiver toto load o lumber on the barge and go back toto California.California. They hithit aa loglog outsideoutside that don'tdonrt and did some $25,000 d.*.gedamage to the vessel, and thingsEhings likelike that pay off tootoo well. If they can be eliminated itit would suresure benefit thethe area.

MR. DAHL: The only thing rI was interested in was the Depoe Sloughslough drainage district andand floodflood controlcontrol up there.there.
