2 Executive SUn1ll1ary

The SOR will review the operations of the Ochoco Irrigation District, and will have beneficial impacts on the water sources of the lower Crooked River subbasin, including Prineville Reservoir, the lower Crooked River, Ochoco Reservoir and Ochoco Creek, and Mckay Creek and other tributaries. The goals of this SOR are to optimize water and energy conservation and efficiency in the district, while benefiting the anadromous reintroduction effort and ESA-listed fish, and reducing potential future conflict over community water supply.

Several studies and planning efforts have generated district water management information and identified conservation and management opportunities. The SOR will review this information, gather further information as necessary, evaluate and prioritize opportunities, and create a plan of action that leverages partnerships and funding to implement priority actions to the fullest extent possible.

The specific objectives are as follows: 1. Gather comprehensive loss information necessary to update the district water budget and prioritize piping projects based on water savings, power efficiency, and cost. 2. Evaluate a pump back facility to reduce return flows on Rye Grass Canal and conserve water in Ochoco Reservoir. 3. Identify and rank measurement/telemetry needs. 4. Evaluate moving the Crooked River Diversion 6 miles downstream to restore fish habitat for Federally-threatened Mid-Columbia summer steelhead. 5. Assess modernization of Barnes Butte Pump Plant and Ochoco Relift Pump Plant 6. Evaluate a hydro facility on Ochoco Dam 7. Complete Water Conservation and Management Plan 8. Evaluate wetlands installation to filter return flows from Rye Grass Canal 9. Update GIS system to optimize water management, conservation and marketing 10. Develop concepts to manage conservation savings to improve instream flows in Ochoco Creek 11. Develop an MOU with the Deschutes River Conservancy that identifies parameters for managing nondistrict water conserved upstream of Ochoco Reservoir through the reservoir to benefit instream flows for listed fish in Ochoco Creek 12. Evaluate and prioritize opportunities to optimize water marketing

The SOR will be conducted by a review team that includes OlD staff; Black Rock Consulting, a water resources engineering firm; GIS consultants; the Deschutes River Conservancy, a regional conservation group; and Bonneville Power Administration. The combined water management, water resources engineering, conservation, energy efficiency, and GIS expertise, all with significant experience working in the Deschutes Basin, will result in a review arid plan of action which maximizes efficiency and conservation benefits and that can leverage significant support and resources for implementation. Ochoco Irrigation District and its partners are heavily invested in

3 improving water conservation and management in the basin to support the recent effort to reintroduce anadromous fish and to work collaboratively to ensure reliable water supplies for irrigation, municipalities and fish and wildlife into the future.

The most recent estimates of water use in the district are as follows: • Average district diversion: 83,742 AF • Average operational spill: 27,960 AF • Average delivery: 43,000 AF • Estimated average district distributions system losses: 12,782 AF • Estimated on-farm losses, based on crop water use: 3,505 AF • Average water marketed (instrearn leased): 500 AF

.In most years, the district's water supply is sufficient to meet irrigation demand.

4 Background Data The main body of the Crooked River Project lies north and west of Prineville, Oregon. The water resources of Ochoco Creek and Crooked River are used to furnish irrigation water for approximately 20,000 acres.

The 2000 Water Conservation and Management estimates the following, using data collected between 1992-1997: • Average district diversion: 83,742 AF • Average operational spill: 27,960 AF • Average delivery: 43,000 AF • Estimated average district distributions system losses: 12,782 AF • On-farm losses were estimated, based on crop water use, at 3,505 AF

Water supply is generally sufficient to meet water demand in the district. Water demand in the district is expected to stay constant in the future.

Project features include Arthur R. Bowman Dam on the Crooked River, Ochoco Dam on Ochoco Creek, a diversion canal and headworks on the Crooked River, Lytle Creek Diversion Dam and Wasteway, two major pumping plants, nine small pumping plants, and Ochoco Main and distribution canals.

By congressional approval in 1964, the 3,450-acre Crooked River Extension was added to the project. This additional acreage was made possible by using the extra capacity included in the canal and pumping plants when the Crooked Project was constructed, constructing six small pumping plants, and using a portion of the unassigned space in Prineville Reservoir.

A 5-year rehabilitation and betterment program was completed in 1982 where some 20 miles of concrete pipe laterals and drains were installed to replace existing open and unlined channels.

The project provides water for irrigation through the addition of works to the Ochoco Irrigation District. The rehabilitated Ochoco Dam, supplemented by assigned space in Prineville Reservoir, (currently 68,273acre-feet) furnishes an adequate water supply to both District and nonDistrict lands. Releases from Ochoco Reservoir flow into the Ochoco Main Canal, which serves high-elevation project lands east and north of Prineville. Storage from Prineville Reservoir is released into the river and diverted to project lands by a diversion canal 6 miles above Prineville. From the headworks, the diversion canal runs north 8.3 miles across Ochoco Creek to the Barnes Butte Pumping Plant. The diversion canal serves irrigable lands along its course.

The Barnes Butte Pumping Plant lifts the water to the distribution canal which runs through the center of the district lands. The Ochoco Relift Pumping Plant lifts the water to replenish flows in the Ochoco Main Canal that serves lands west of McKay Creek.

5 Lytle Creek Diversion Dam and Wasteway capture return flows from project lands in the Lytle Creek area and divert them into the project-built Rye Grass Ditch.

Arthur R. Bowman Dam and Prineville Reservoir

Arthur R. Bowman Dam (formerly Prineville Dam) is an earthfill structure on the Crooked River about 20 miles upstream from Prineville. The dam has a height of 245 feet, a crest length of 800 feet, and a volume of 1,424,000 cubic yards of material.

The spillway consists of an uncontrolled-crest inlet structure, chute, and stilling basin. Capacity of the spillway is 8,120 cubic feet per second at maximum water surface elevation of 3,257.9 ft. The outlet works has an intake structure with an ll-foot-diameter circular tunnel upstream from the gate chamber, an II-foot modified horseshoe tunnel downstream from the gate chamber, and a stilling basin which is shared with the spillway. The capacity of the outlet works is 3,300 cubic feet per second at normal water surface elevation of 3,234.8 ft.

The total capacity of Prineville Reservoir at closure was 154,690 acre-feet (active 152,800 acre-feet). A reservoir sedimentation survey completed in 1998 estimates the total capacity at 150,200 acre-feet (active 148,600 acre-feet).

Ochoco Dam and Reservoir

Ochoco Dam, a hydraulic-fill structure on Ochoco Creek 6 miles east of Prineville, was constructed immediately after World War I as a part of the Veterans Farm Settlement Program undertaken by the State of Oregon. The left abutment is an alluvial fan, and the right abutment is a slide mass consisting of fine earth and rock. The original dam was about 126 feet high and 1,000 feet long, with an average crest width of 15 feet. The dam leaked badly through the main section, with heavy leakage at or through the right abutment. Since the dam was a constant hazard to life and property in the valley and the city of Prineville, some rehabilitation was required. The dam was rehabilitated by the Bureau of Reclamation in 1949 and the reservoir capacity was increased at that time. The dam provides flood control of Ochoco Creek in addition to storing water for irrigation. As repaired and reconstructed by the Bureau of Reclamation, the dam is 125 feet high with a crest length of 1,350 feet. The spillway is an open concrete chute at the south end of the dam.

Work under the Safety of Dams Program was initiated in 1994 and completed in 1998. This included, among other things, installation of an upstream interceptor trench and drainage system, replacement of riprap on the upstream face of the dam, a new outlet works, and spillway modifications. As part of this work, the intakes in the outlet tower were raised. This work, together with findings of a 1990 sedimentation survey, resulted in an active reservoir capacity of 39,600 acre-feet at spillway crest elevation 3130.7 feet.

Title to Ochoco Dam was retained by the Ochoco Irrigation District. 9 Barnes Butte Pumping Plant

Barnes Butte Pumping Plant lifts a maximum of 140 cubic feet per second from the end of the'diversion canal to the head of the distribution canal. The pump site is at the foot of Barnes Butte, about 0.75 mile east of the city limits of Prineville. The plant consists of five pumping units that total 1,800 horsepower.

Distribution Canal

The distribution canal serves all Ochoco District lands west of Barnes Butte below an elevation of 2,950 feet and above Rye Grass Ditch. In addition, the canal carries water lifted by Ochoco Relift Pumping Plant to Ochoco Main Canal near McKay Creek to serve lands below this main canal. The distribution canal carries water about 15.8 miles in a northerly direction.

Ochoco Relift Pumping Plant

The Ochoco Relift Pumping Plant pumps a maximum of 98 cubic feet per second from the distribution canal to the Ochoco Main Canal to irrigate lands west of McKay Creek. The plant contains four units, operates against a total dynamic head of 99 feet, and produces a total of 1,300 horsepower.

Extension Pumping Plants

The features completed to serve the additional acreage in the Crooked River Project Extension include six small pumping plants and associated canals, laterals, and drains. These features serve lands of six separate areas located generally east and north of the original project area. Combs Flat Pumping Plant pumps water from the Diversion Canal. The remaining five pumping plants, Johnson Creek, Tunnel,Hudspeth,McKay Creek, and Grimes Flat, pump from the Ochoco Main Canal. Three much smaller pumping plants, Houston, and Stahancyk Nos.1 and 2, were later installed in the extension area by the Ochoco Irrigation District.

Because of the increased water requirement for the additional acres in the extension area, it was necessary to install an additional pumping unit at both the Barnes Butte and Ochoco Relift Pumping Plants.

Rehabilitation and Betterment Program

A 5-year rehabilitation and betterment program was completed in 1982 during which concrete pipe was installed in laterals and drains to replace existing open and unlined channels. Some 18 miles of open laterals were enclosed with concrete pipe ranging from 10 to 24 inches in diameter. In addition, about 3 miles of open drain were enclosed with concrete pipe ranging from 6 to 18 inches in diameter. The program has increased the efficiency of system operation and has resulted in substantial water savings.

10 Authorization

The reconstruction of Ochoco Dam was authorized on June 28, 1948, in the Interior Department Appropriation, 1949. The Crooked River Project was authorized by the Congress on August 6, 1956 (70 Stat. 1058-9, Public Law 84-992) which incorporated Ochoco Dam. This Act was amended by the Congress on September 14, 1959 (73 Stat. 554, Public Law 86-271) to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to include extra capacity in the canal and pumping plants for future irrigation. The cost of this extra capacity was a deferred obligation until such time as additional lands were brought into the project.

The Crooked River Project Extension was authorized by the Act of September 18, 1964 (78 Stat. 954, Public Law 88-598). Rehabilitation and betterment of the lateral and drainage system was accomplished in 1982 under the provisions of the Rehabilitation and Betterment Act of October 7, 1949, as amended (63 Stat. 724 and 64 Stat. 11, Public Laws 81-335 and 81-451).

The 1956 Act authorized the Crooked River Project for irrigation and other beneficial purposes. Flood control is one of the project purposes. The preservation and propagation of fish and wildlife is provided for through the installation of a ladder and screen at the diversion headworks and a minimum release of 10 cubic feet per second for fishlife during months when there is no other discharge from Prineville Reservoir. Minimum basic recreation facilities were also authorized.

Construction

Ochoco Dam was constructed by Ochoco Irrigation District in 1920. Ochoco Dam was rehabilitated by BOR in 1949-1950 also a BOR safety of dams project in the mid 1990's. Construction of Prineville Dam began in 1958, and was completed in 1961. Work on the Crooked River Extension began in 1966, and was completed in 1970.

Benefits

Irrigation

Irrigation in the project area has been successful over a period of many years. Principal crops are grain, hay, pasture, garlic and carrot seed, and mint. Size of operating units varies widely, ranging from small suburban residential tracts to large livestock ranches which own or lease considerable grazing land outside the project area.

Recreation, Fish & Wildlife

State parks located on both reservoirs are among the most heavily used in Oregon. Ochoco Reservoir has 8 miles of shoreline, but there are only 20 acres of publicly owned lands in the reservoir area. Camping, swimming, picnicking, and boat launching and

11 mooring facilities are available. Ochoco Reservoir is stocked annually with rainbow trout.

The Prineville Reservoir area encompasses over 8,700 acres with a reservoir surface of 3,030 acres providing 43 miles of shoreline. Camping, picnicking, swimming, lodging, dining, and boat launching and mooring facilities are provided by the State Park, by Crook County through its park system, and by a concessionaire. The reservoir offers excellent fishing for both warm- and cold- water species. A trout fishery has developed in Crooked River below the dam since the reservoir was created. The upper end of the reservoir has been designated a wildlife management area, and 3,800 acres of land and water provide habitat for a variety of wildlife including mule deer and numerous species of waterfowl.

A minimum release of 10 cubic feet per second is maintained from Prineville Reservoir for fishlife when there is no other discharge, but this release may be reduced for brief periods if it is determined that the release of the full 10 cubic feet per second is harmful to the primary purpose of the project.

Flood Control

In addition to the major purpose of furnishing an increased stable supply of irrigation water, the plan provides long-needed flood protection for Prineville and adjacent farm land areas. Flood control space is held in Ochoco Reservoir on a forecast basis to control Ochoco Creek, below the dam, to no more than 1100 cubic feet per second which, per the SOP, is the safe channel capacity. Similarly, space is held in Prineville Reservoir to control the Crooked River below Arthur R. Bowman Dam to no more than 3,000 cubic feet per second.

Energy Sources and Uses

Ochoco Irrigation District receives subsidized power through the Bureau of Reclamation's power contracts with BPA on the Crooked River project. The power is delivered by Pacific Power and Light (PP&L).

Ochoco Irrigation District relies on 27 pumps to move water around the District, with the largest being the Barnes Butte and Ochoco Relift pump plant.

12 A summary of the main pump plants is listed below:

ESA Issues

Federally listed threatened Mid-Columbia summer steelhead (Onchorrychus mykiss) were recently reintroduced to the lower Crooked River subbasin as part of a PERC relicensing obligation to provide fish passage for anadromous fish at the Pelton Round Butte Dam Complex at the mouth of the Crooked River. Smolts were first released in 2008 and planned releases are on-going. The reintroduction is a $200 million effort to provide fish passage and sufficient fish habitat to successfully re-establish historic populations of anadromous fish in the lower Crooked River, Whychus Creek and the Metolius River. Ochoco Irrigation District is invested in working collaboratively and proactively to reduce conflict around ESA issues and to support the reintroduction effort. It is currently engaged in developing a Habitat Conservation Plan with the Deschutes Basin Board of Control and the City of Prineville in an effort to minimize and mitigate its impacts on listed fish. The goals of this SOR, including water conservation and efficiency and water marketing, are designed to benefit the reintroduction effort.

Bureau of Reclamation Partnership

Ochoco Irrigation District has a long-standing relationship with the BOR. We have been partners since the 1940s when the Ochoco Dam was rehabilitated to the Construction of the Crooked River Project in 1958.

14 General SOR Overview

(a) Goals

The SOR is designed to increase water conservation and energy efficiency in Ochoco Irrigation District to optimize district operations, to improve conditions for the recent reintroduction of Federally-listed fish and to reduce potential future conflict around heightened demand in the community for water supplies. Previous studies, planning efforts and collaborative partnerships have identified the following specific objectives for further evaluation to achieve these goals:

(1) Assess prioritized piping opportunities to optimize conservation and efficiency (2) Assess pump back facility to reduce return flows on Rye Grass Canal and Lytle Creek and conserve water from Ochoco Reservoir (3) Evaluate system-wide measurement/telemetry needs (4) Evaluate moving Crooked River diversion 6 miles downstream (5) Assess modernization of the Barnes Butte Pump Plant and the Ochoco Relift Pump Plant (6) Evaluate hydro facility on Ochoco Dam (7) Complete updated Water Conservation and Management Plan for submittal to the Oregon Water Resources Department (8) Assess wetlands installation on Campbell Road to filter tailwater (9) Update GIS system to inventory and evaluate water conservation and marketing opportunities (10) Assess management options to improve streamflows in Ochoco Creek given contractual restraints. (11) Assess how nondistrict water conserved above Ochoco Reservoir can be managed through Ochoco Reservoir and released when ecologically optimal. (12) Optimize water marketing opportunities through an evaluation of water supply available for instream leasing and evaluation of contractual and policy constraints.

(b) Approach

The district has engaged in several planning efforts that have gathered system information, identified issues and priorities, and set preliminary goals. These include the 1997 Bureau of Reclamation Upper Deschutes Basin Water Conservation Study, the 2000 Water Conservation and Management Plan prepared for the Oregon Water Resources Department and a partially-completed revision of this plan. The district is also engaged in developing a Habitat Conservation Plan to address the impacts of its operations on the recent reintroduction of federally-listed Mid-Columbia summer steelhead into the basin. These efforts have generated a significant amount of information identifying opportunities for improved conservation and management. The

15 District has also participated in the 2025 action plan which has provided feasibility level engineering on several laterals in the system. The SOR will conduct an in-depth review and clarification of this information, and gather additional information as needed. It will build on this information to complete a detailed evaluation and prioritization of potential improvements and to create a plan of action that includes potential implementation timelines, potential partners and sources of funding, and potential environmental compliance issues. The specific approach to evaluate each project opportunity is as follows:

(1) Assessment of piping opportunities

Based on previous BOR studies and canal losses and seepage, OID has identified that the greatest opportunity to increase water use and efficiency, and power efficiency, is through reduction in operational spills and return flows. The 1997 Bureau of Reclamation Upper Deschutes Basin Water Conservation Study and the 2000 Water Conservation and Management Plan include a preliminary assessment of system-wide efficiency improvements associated with piping canal segments. The SOR will review this information and gather additional seepage loss and bypass flow measurements in canals and laterals as necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of the district water budget and the highest priority piping projects. This will include all canals and laterals in the district including:

a) Ochoco Main Canal b) Crooked River Diversion Canal c) Crooked River Distribution Canal d) Johnson Creek Ditch e) Lytle Creek West f) Lytle Creek East g) All small canals and laterals

aID staff and Black Rock Consulting (BRCI) will refine water savings estimates associated with each of these projects, gathering additional seepage loss and operational spill data as needed. Information gathering will include using existing gauges and telemetry, manual measurements, and ponding studies if necessary. This information will inform a comprehensive water budget for the district. Projects will be ranked and prioritized based on water and energy savings and costs. Potential implementation timelines, project partners, environmental compliance issues, and sources of funding will be identified.

(2) Assessment of a pump back facility to reduce return flows on Rye Grass Canal.

aID records show an annual average of 3,500 acre-feet of return flow through the Rye Grass Canal. A pump back facility would allow this

16 water to be reused on lands that historically divert from the Ochoco Main Canal, thus reducing tailwater and reducing diversions from Ochoco Reservoir.

OID staff and BRCI will refine tailwater savings, assess associated conservation savings in Ochoco Reservoir and provide a cost-estimate of project construction. The Deschutes River Conservancy (DRC) will identify associated water quality and habitat benefits. Recommendations for project implementation sequencing, potential environmental compliance issues, and potential funding will be identified.

(3) System-wide evaluation of measurement/telemetry needs

OID has a fairly comprehensive flow measurement system that includes OWRD telemetry gages at major diversion points from both reservoirs, district measurement at all on-farm delivery points, and district-operated automated gauging stations at critical points throughout the district, including major points of return flow. The SOR, however, will assess whether additional measuring devices/telemetry would optimize management for conservation. Measurement/telemetry needs will be ranked and potential sources of funding identified.

(4) Evaluation of moving Crooked River diversion 6 miles downstream

The proposed Crooked River Diversion relocation would increase flows on the Crooked River by allowing water allocated to irrigation to remain instream from the existing diversion location to the new location, thus enhancing habitat and fisheries in that reach. This project was identified with basin stakeholders as part of an effort to put together a legislative concept to improve habitat conditions in the Crooked River. The proposed diversion site, pump station location, and associated intake and discharge pipelines will be evaluated at an SOR level by BRCI. The diversion is planned to include a vertical flat-plate fish screen system similar to the existing diversion screen located on the east bank of the Crooked River. Although the location of the diversion and pump station will be assessed during the SOR, it is anticipated that the new diversion will be located adjacent to the Les Schwab park in Prineville, and the pump station intake pipe will be sized and located to follow the alignment of the existing flood control channel from the diversion to the pump station. The pump station will likely be located southerly of the Crook County Fairgrounds. It is anticipated that the station will include an intake vault, high-efficiency, high horsepower vertical turbine pumps, VFD evaluation, a pump house, and associated electrical systems and interconnect to the utility. The SOR level evaluation by BRCI will estimate the location and cost of the associated facilities. Discharge piping will be sized to convey the discharge water to the district's system, bypassing the existing Barnes Butte station

17 and allowing its abandonment. The DRC will identify the amount and timing of water left instream in the six restored miles and describe associated habitat benefits. Potential funding sources and potential environmental compliance issues associated with construction will be identified.

(5) Assess efficiency and modernization of the Barnes Butte Pump Plant and the Ochoco Relift Pump Plant

OID is highly reliant on several pumping stations to deliver water through its system. Increasing efficiencies on its two major pumping stations may reap significant energy benefits. BPA will perform an energy audit of the Barnes Butte Pump Plant and the Relift Pump Plant and will assess efficiency gains and costs of modernizing these plants with vertical turbine pumps and, potentially, variable frequency drives. Potential funding mechanisms for these improvements will be identified.

(6) Evaluate hydro facility on Ochoco Dam

BRCI will evaluate hydropower potential on Ochoco Dam, prepare a cost­ benefit analysis and will identify recommended next steps for permitting and construction. Potential funding mechanisms will be identified.

(7) Complete updated Water Conservation and Management Plan for submittal to the Oregon Water Resources Department

Under Oregon state law, irrigation districts must update their Water Conservation and Management Plans (WCMP) every ten years. OID's updated plan is 50% complete. The information gathered in the SOR will be incorporated into the WCMP, which will be submitted to the Oregon Water Resources Department.

(8) Assess wetlands installation on Campbell Road to filter remaining tailwater on Rye Grass Canal.

Any tailwater entering the Crooked River at the district's largest point of return flow on Rye Grass canal poses potential water quality issues, particularly within the context of the anadromous reintroduction. DID staff and BRCI will assess the costs of constructing a wetlands complex out Campbell Road to filter excess tailwater that is not able to be captured as part of the pump back facility. This project has been identified as a priority by local conservation groups, including the Crooked River Watershed Council. DRC will describe the benefits to fish habitat and water quality in the Crooked River. Potential sources of funding and necessary permits for construction will be identified.

18 (9) Update GIS system to better inventory water use and evaluate water conservation and marketing opportunities

OID staff will work with GIS technical resources to input and manage data, and to use this spatial information to assist in evaluating and prioritizing conservation and water marketing activities. DRC staff will assist, as necessary, to update water transactions (instream leases) and to assess potential leasing supply (fallowed, but unleased, acres).

(10) Assess management options under current Reclamation contracts to improve streamflows in Ochoco Creek. Develop a conceptual framework with the DRC to test a pilot project.

Water conservation activities identified above have the potential to decrease district diversions from Ochoco Reservoir and Ochoco Creek. Reclamation contracts, however, do not allow the district to participate in the State Conserved Water Program and may pose constraints to more flexible management agreements to increase flows in Ochoco Creek. The District will work with Reclamation and the DRC to assess opportunities to manage water to improve instream flows. The partners will strive to develop a framework for a pilot project to improve flows in Ochoco Creek. The ability to use conservation savings to increase instream flows has strong support from local and regional conservation groups and would support the reintroduction effort, mitigate district impacts on listed fish, and provide a valuable source of funding for conservation projects.

(11) Develop an MOU with the DRC that identifies the parameters under which nondistrict water conserved above Ochoco Reservoir may be passed through or banked in Ochoco Reservoir and released when ecologically optimal.

There are currently management constraints to managing nondistrict water conserved or leased above Ochoco Reservoir through the reservoir to improve flows in Ochoco Creek for listed fish. OID staff will work with DRC staff to evaluate management issues, and to develop an MOU that defines the conditions under which this water may be passed through or banked and released into Ochoco Creek. This effort will maximize conservation efforts basin-wide and will benefit listed fish. This effort also has the potential to reduce water conflict in the community by using nondistrict water to generate currently-scarce groundwater mitigation credits through the Deschutes Basin Groundwater Mitigation Program.

(12) Optimize water marketing opportunities through an evaluation of water supply available for instream leasing and evaluation of contractual and policy constraints and opportunities.

19 aID currently leases an annual average of 500 acre-feet instream in partnership with the DRC. aID staff will work with GIS technical support and the DRC to evaluate instream leasing levels and supply. In addition, aID and DRC staff will assess the opportunity under Oregon water law to >shape leased water for release out of Ochoco Reservoir when ecologically­ optimal. aID will assess contractual constraints to using temporary instream leases to generate temporary mitigation credits under the Deschutes Groundwater Mitigation Program. Recommendations to optimize the water marketing program, based on the above assessments, will be made.

These twelve objectives will result in the following twelve deliverables and will inform the development of a plan of action:

Deliverables

1. An updated water budget and a prioritized list of piping projects based on water savings, power efficiency, and cost. 2. Cost-benefit analysis of Rye Grass Canal pump back facility based. on water savings and water quality benefits. 3. Ranked list of measurement/telemetry needs. 4. Cost-benefit analysis and location specifications of moving Crooked River Diversion 6 miles downstream. 5. Cost-benefit analysis of modernizing Barnes Butte Pump Plant and Ochoco Relift Pump Plant 6.

Updated GIS system 10. Conceptual framework for managing conservation savings to improve instream flows in Ochoco Creek 11. MOD with the DRC identifying parameters for managing nondistrict water conserved upstream of Ochoco Reservoir through the reservoir 12. Prioritized recommendations to optimize water marketing

aID staff will draw on the information in these deliverables to create a plan of action that will prioritize projects, identify timelines, partners, and potential funding sources. The portfolio of opportunities will include ranked technical projects (ex. piping; upgraded facilities) as well as recommendations to implement operationallmanagement initiatives (ex. optimizing water marketing). Because there is significant interest by partners and stakeholders in improving conservation in the district, improving habitat for ESA-listed fish and decreasing future conflicts over water supply, the district has the ability to count on strong partnerships and funding opportunities necessary to implement this plan of action. This

23 SOR Evaluation Criteria

Ca) Water Conservation

(1) Describe how the SOR will assess the potential for water conservation

The 1997 BOR Upper Deschutes Basin Water Conservation Study and the District's 2000 Water Management and Conservation Plan include preliminary assessments of loss data and water conservation opportunities. Piping and efficiency projects that maximize reductions in operational spill and return flows are identified as more beneficial than piping projects that solely capture seepage losses. The SOR will review this information and gather additional seepage loss and bypass flow measurements as necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of the district water budget and the highest priority piping projects. The SOR will evaluate and prioritize these opportunities and will inform the completion of an updated Water Management and Conservation Plan for submittal to the Oregon Water Resources Department. The specific activities will include: • An evaluation of current loss and efficiency information • Additional information gathering as needed to gain a comprehensive understanding of district water budget • Evaluation and prioritization of piping opportunities • Evaluation of measurement/telemetry needs • Assessment of pump back facility on Lytle Creek to reduce operational spill • Update of GIS system to inventory water use and evaluate conservation opportunities • Development of a framework to manage conservation savings to benefit instream flows in Ochoco Creek

(2) Identify the total average annual water supply in acre-feet

As estimated in the 2000 Water Management and Conservation Plan, the total average annual diversion was 83,742 acre-feet and the average annual net water supply available for delivery was 43,000 acre-feet. These numbers will be reevaluated as part of the SOR.

(3) Describe how the SOR will address water conservation issues, including, whether you will:

• Develop a water budget

24 The development of a water budget will be an outcome of the SOR. Obtaining updated and comprehensive information on by pass flows and seepage losses in the canal system will lead to an updated water budget.

• Assess drainage and tail water conditions or any other factors related to improving conservation

An assessment of a pump back facility on Rye Grass Canal, the largest point of return flow, will be completed, in addition to an evaluation of a wetland complex to filter remaining operational spill.

• Identify water conservation tools that will be considered (e.g., piping or lining canals)

Previous planning efforts have shown that the largest water and energy efficiency gains will come from reducing operational spills and eliminating seepage losses through piping canals.

A comprehensive assessment of piping opportunities will provide the District with a cost-benefit analysis and prioritization of the following projects: • Ochoco Main Canal • Crooked River Diversion Canal • Crooked River Distribution Canal • Johnson Creek Ditch • Lytle Creek West • Lytle Creek East • All small canals and laterals

(4) Describe how the proposed SOR will address the potential to improve water management, including an estimate the amount of water that you believe could be better managed in acre feet and as a percent of the average annual supply

Gathering needed information on system losses, evaluating the need for additional monitoring and telemetry and prioritizing piping opportunities will enable the district to manage water in the district more precisely. Piping projects will be ranked according to potential water and power savings. A pump back facility on Lytle CreekJRye Grass Canal will enable the reuse of water, reducing the district diversion out of Ochoco Reservoir. A major goal of this SOR is to gain a better comprehensive understanding of potential water savings in the district and to be able to quantify them as a percent of average annual supply. The District will work with the Deschutes River Conservancy, along with other conservation entities and local governmental agencies, to realize a portion of the conservation

25 benefits as flows restored to Ochoco Creek when most beneficial for federally-listed summer steelhead, as Reclamation contracts allow.

Describe the geographical scope of the proposed SOR. Specifically, address whether the proposed SOR would involve only one irrigation district or if the SOR will examine a portion of a river basin or a watershed. Discuss the entities involved in the SOR.

The SOR will review the operations of the Ochoco Irrigation District, but will have beneficial impacts on the water sources of the lower Crooked River subbasin, including Prineville Reservoir, the lower Crooked River, Ochoco Reservoir and Ochoco Creek, Mckay creek and tributaries. Water conservation and improved management in the District results in less water diverted from the reservoirs, which reduces potential conflict between other demands for water including the City of Prineville, flatwater reservoir recreation and associated community economic benefits, and instream demands for fish and wildlife, particularly for federally-listed fish. Interested parties include the Deschutes River Conservancy, the Crooked River Watershed Council, Crook County, the City of Prineville, the Bureau of Land Management, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Oregon Water Resources Department, the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation, and Portland General Electric. Water conservation efforts in the district are expected to benefit the broader $200 million effort to reintroduce anadromous fish in the tributaries above the Pelton Round Butte Dam Complex.

In addition to looking at District operations, the SOR will result in an MOD between OID and the DRC detailing how non-district water conserved upstream of Ochoco Reservoir may be operationally passed through the reservoir to benefit instream flows and federally-listed fish in Ochoco Creek below the reservoir. This will enable conservation to be maximized subbasin-wide.

(b) Energy Efficiency

The SOR will evaluate the potential of putting a hydro facility on Ochoco Dam. The consulting engineer will evaluate the potential energy generation of the facility, expected energy efficiency of the system, and will identify the steps necessary to proceed, including permits and potential funding opportunities. The expected environmental benefits of the system will be its contribution to the renewable energy portfolio in the State of Oregon and the associated decrease in reliance on fossil fuels. The power generated will be sold to the grid. The SOR evaluation of financing and construction will help determine the project beneficiaries and whether a third-party investor will be involved.

26 Please describe the steps that will be taken to investigate the potential for energy efficiency improvements in the study area, including energy savings from any water conservation improvements.

The SOR includes a BPA energy audit of modernizing its main pumping plant and its relift plant. The audit will assess energy savings and efficiencies. Both pumps are currently aged split-case Centrifugal pumps. Modernization would involve installing turbine pumps and possibly variable frequency drives (VFD's).

Reducing diversions through the water conservation activities detailed above will also result in energy savings, particularly because water deliveries in this district are highly-dependent on pumping, often multiple times.

(c) Addressing Endangered Species Concerns

Mid-Columbia Summer steelhead (Onchorrychus mykiss), a federally-listed threatened species, were reintroduced in 2008 to the lower Crooked River as part of a PERC relicensing obligation and a $200 million effortto reintroduce anadromous fish above the Pelton Round Butte Dam complex, situated at the mouth of the Crooked River. Reclamation's Crooked River Project has direct impacts on this effort as the streamflows in the Lower Crooked River and its tributary Ochoco Creek are highly managed for irrigation storage and withdrawal as well as flood control. Low streamflows and associated water quality issues in Ochoco Creek and the lower Crooked River have been identified as limiting factors to steelhead. OID is taking proactive measures to work collaboratively with conservation groups in the basin and to develop a Habitat Conservation Plan to reduce impacts on listed fish and to reduce potential conflict over water supply.

Most of the activities and projects in the SOR will have a positive impact on listed fish populations. Specific benefits are described below:

• Moving the Crooked River Diversion The outflow from Prineville Reservoir currently supports a blue­ ribbon redband trout fishery below Bowman Dam where the river flows cool and plentiful for twelve miles until the District's Crooked River Diversion. It is expected that this reach will be utilized heavily by reintroduced listed fish. The SOR will assess moving the district's diversion six miles downstream, significantly increasing flows in six additional miles of fish habitat with prime spawning gravels and healthy riparian habitat.

• Reducing return flows to the lower Crooked River at Rye Grass Canal Due to the design of the canal system, approximately 3,500 acre­ feet of return flows annually enter the lower Crooked River at Rye

27 Grass. The SOR will evaluate the installation of a pump back facility to reuse this water, reducing return flows and reducing the diversion necessary from Ochoco Reservoir. In addition, the SOR will evaluate the installation of wetlands to filter any remaining return flows at this point. These activities will conserve water as well as reduce water quality concerns for listed fish.

• Water conservation activities Piping projects, the pump back facility, and a better measurement and GIS system will collectively reduce diversions and increase reliability in the reservoirs. Increased stored water in the reservoirs can be used to the extent possible within Reclamation contracts to manage flows for listed fish.

Currently Prineville Reservoir contains 82,000 acre-feet of uncontracted water which may someday be contracted to meet growing municipal and instream demands. The District's reduced reliance on the reservoir will help assure that needs for listed fish and the District's water supply can be met without conflict. Increased reservoir reliability will also support the District's current practice of maintaining higher winter outflows than required to benefit fish when they have enough water.

Under current Reclamation contracts, the District cannot participate in the State's Conserved Water Program. The SOR will assess the opportunities to amend these contracts to participate in the conserved water program. In addition, the District and the DRC will evaluate concepts under current contractual constraints to 'bank' water conserved in the district in Ochoco Reservoir to be managed for fish in Ochoco Creek when most beneficial. The DRC and OID will also develop a Memorandum of Understanding that identifies the parameters for passing through or banking nondistrict water conserved upstream of Ochoco Reservoir through the reservoir to benefit fish in Ochoco Creek when most beneficial. These efforts to evaluate policy and contractual constraints and opportunities are expected to result in more tangible conservation outcomes for listed fish.

Cd) Other Contributions to Water Supply Sustainability

The lower Crooked River subbasin is experiencing heightened competition for finite water supplies. This competition is only expected to increase with climate variability. Two main drivers are increasing competition: the reintroduction of anadromous fish and associated instream flow needs, and urban growth in the City

28 of Prineville. See the section above for a discussion of ESA issues. This section will focus on increasing urban demand. .

The City of Prineville is legally-required to ensure sufficient water for the next fifty years. The SOR will support this effort to maintain a sustainable community water supply in two ways:

1) Water conservation results in reduced diversions and consequently more stored water in the reservoirs. Contracting the 82,000 acre-feet of uncontracted space in Prineville Reservoir is increasingly looked at as a solution to meet future municipal as well as instream demand; however, the District is concerned about maintaining its supply reliability. Optimizing the District's existing use of the reservoir reduces the possibility of conflict and water shortages in future reservoir allocation scenarios.

2) To meet its future needs, the City of Prineville is reliant to some extent on obtaining groundwater mitigation credits through the Deschutes Basin Groundwater Mitigation Program. There is a scarcity of mitigation credits in the Crooked due to its unique hydrogeology as well as the fact that the majority of water rights are associated with Reclamation contracts that are not authorized to be used for instream (mitigation) use. The SOR will address this issue in two ways:

a. OID will work with Reclamation to assess the· constraints/opportunities of using Ochoco Reservoir temporary leases to generate temporary mitigation credits. b. OID and DRC will develop an MOD that allows nondistrict water marketed upstream of Ochoco Reservoir to be protected below the reservoir. This may result in a potential source of mitigation credits generated outside of OID.

ee) Water Marketing

OID has been leasing water instream in partnership with the DRC since 2003. On average, the District leases annually approximately 500 acres. To assess opportunities to optimize water marketing, the SOR will:

• Evaluate the water available for annual instream leasing by using GIS to assess fallowed acres. • Evaluate the ability under State water law to shape the release of leased water from Ochoco Reservoir to benefit listed fish to the maximum extent possible. • Clarify Reclamation contracts to assess the feasibility of using annual instream leases to generate temporary mitigation credits under the Deschutes Basin Groundwater Mitigation Program.

29 Using leases for temporary mitigation would help reduce water conflict in the community by helping to satisfy the City of Prineville's growing need for mitigation credits, and would help to shore up community supply sustainability.

The District will work with the DRC to assess leasing opportunities in the district and to develop a concept for banking Ochoco Reservoir water for ecologically-optimal release. aID will draw on legal counsel to work with Reclamation to clarify contracts.

(0 Demonstrated Results

Subcriteria No. I-Methodology Up to 6 points may be awarded based on how well the methodology and basis for the SOR are developed, defined, and identified. While an SOR must include the following steps, this subcriteria will consider the process identified to complete each step:

• Gathering information • Identifying issues and priorities • Setting goals • Identifying and evaluating potential improvements • Creating a plan of action • Developing an SOR Report

Emphasis will be placed on the process for developing a plan of action.

The specific approach for each objective, including descriptions for each step, was discussed above. To summarize, the SOR will review and assess the body of information that exists identifying conservation and efficiency opportunities. Additional information needed will be identified and gathered through measurement, including seepage loss and by pass flow measurements. This information will be used to evaluate the SOR's preliminary objectives and update goals if necessary. The SOR will draw on its team of consultants and partners to evaluate the potential improvements identified. These evaluations will guide the development of a plan of action that prioritizes projects and identifies project partners, timelines, and funding mechanisms. Because there is significant interest by partners and stakeholders in improving conservation in the district, improving habitat for ESA-listed fish and decreasing future conflicts over water supply, the district has the ability to count on strong partnerships and funding opportunities necessary to implement this plan of action. The deliverables for each objective and the plan of action will be synthesized into the SOR report.

30 Subcriteria No.2-Personnel Qualifications

The SOR review team is described above. The combined water management, water resources engineering, conservation, energy efficiency, and GIS expertise, all with significant experience working in the Deschutes Basin, will result in a review and plan of action which maximizes efficiency and conservation benefits.

(g) Project Financing and Cost Sharing (8 points) Up to 8 points will be awardedfor proposals based on the extent to which costs are reasonable for the work proposed and the extent to which non-Federal cost-share exceeds minimum requirements.

Subcriteria No. I-Reasonableness of Costs By making wide use of the expertise of its partners, the OID SOR minimizes the employment of outside consultants. To the extent possible, the collection of field data and the GIS processing of that data will be done by existing staff and summer interns.

Subcriteria No.2-Additional non-Federal Funding Up to 2 additional points may be awarded to proposals that provide non- . Federalfunding in excess of50 percent ofthe project costs.

This Proposal includes 52% non-federal funding.

None known.

33 • Are there any known archeological sites in the area of the proposed SOR? Would they be affected by any activities associated with the SOR? The local Reclamation office can assist in answering this question.

There is an archaeological site near Ochoco Dam. This site will not be affected by any activities associated with the SOR. g. Required Permits or Approvals Applicants must state in the application whether any permits or approvals are required and explain the plan for obtaining such permits or approvals.

No permits or approvals are expected to be required for the activities associated with the SOR.

Funding Plan

The District plans on being an integral part of the SOR. To benefit to the fullest we will need to the lead and will bring all of the consultants together to produce a plan which the District can use for years to come. Having said that we are not in a position to carry the burden of the projects costs on our own. We are willing to commit to 2100 hours of in­ kind services and we are looking to Reclamation to assist by providing 48% of the projects costs as a cash grant. We have in turn solicited assistance from a few other non­ federal sources as well:

1. PGE has committed to providing us with Y2 match in cash. We originally requested $30,000 that is all we have committed them to in our budget sheet (their commitment letter does suggest they are willing to do more) 2. DRC has committed to providing us with $10,000 in cash and is also willing to provide $19,880 in in-kind services. 3. Bonneville Power has committed to providing us with $10,000 in cash. 4. OWEB has verbally told us that we could qualify for $10,000 but their grant cycle is not until October so we could not solidify until that time.

The District has committed to $85,000 of in-kind so in order to make the 52% non­ federal cost share we will need to secure $34,000. We believe that this goal is attainable.

BPA is very interested in getting a better understanding on the potential water and energy savings associated with improvements or replacement of canals and laterals, energy savings from upgrades or replacements of pumping plants, and potential energy production from water flows within the District. All of these options should reduce the Federal Governments power deliveries. To obtain this information, BPA is considering funding of $10,000.

40 BUDGET NARRATIVE

Salaries and Wages - Discuss type of personnel needed for the project, their qualifications, and the rationale for the number of hours proposed for various personnel.

The District Manager will manage the project. It is anticipated that this project will not take the full time of the Manager. The assistant manager will also work on a part time basis to complete the work. Some crew time will be required to collect measurement data.

Fringe Benefits - Discuss type of benefits and how they apply to various categories of personnel. Indicate whether your organization has a Federally­ approved benefit agreement.

Fringe benefits average 20% of salary costs and include basic health insurance and vacation and sick time allowance costs. .

Travel - Discuss the types of trips that are needed and the purpose, the number of personnel traveling, and travel arrangements.

Travel is expected to be in the normal course of daily district activities. This travel is considered to be incidental to items already included in the SOR. Therefore no cost has been added for travel.

Equipment - Discuss why certain types of equipment are needed for the project. If equipment purchase is recommended, discuss why the equipment cannot be leased or rented for the term of the project.

It is anticipated that this SOR will data gathering in nature and therefore not require any equipment. Ochoco Irrigation District already has GIS. capability in-house. The District does not have advanced GPS equipment, but has arranged to borrow such equipment from two other districts in the basin. We have included $5,000 for possible upgrades to some water measurement equipment if the necessity arises.

Contractual/Construction - Discuss any contracts or subagreements that will be awarded and why they are needed for the project. Discuss contractor qualifications and how the contractor will be selected. Discuss major categories of construction activities/expenses.

1. Move Crooked River Diversion - This project involves a feasibility level assessment of moving the existing diversion approximately 6 miles down stream. Along with that a new fish screen, pumping facility, and piping

41 into and out of the new facility. Total project cost estimated at $17,575.16 of which the District is asking federal assistance for $8,436.08. 2. Modernize Main Plant - This project involves a feasibility level assessment of what it will take to upgrade our existing main plant to current standards. Total project cost estimated at $14,775.12 of which the District is asking federal assistance for $7,092.06. 3. Modernize Relift Plant - This project involves a feasibility level assessment of what it will take to upgrade our existing relift plant to current standards. Total project cost estimated at $14,775.12 of which the District is asking federal assistance for $7092.06. 4. Install Pump Back Facility - This project involves a feasibility level assessment of what it will take to install a facility to pump "tail" water back up into the system to reuse it and in turn reduce the need for stored water in Ochoco Reservoir. We will determine how many of what sized pumps and how much of what sized pipe to complete the project. The project cost estimated at $18,284.88 of which the District is asking federal assistance for $8,776.74. 5. Pipe the Ochoco Main Canal - This project involves a feasibility level assessment of what it will take to pipe our Ochoco Main Canal from its origin at Ochoco Reservoir to where it dumps into the Crooked River. Total project cost estimated at $15,228.96 of which the District is asking federal assistance for $7,309.90. 6. Pipe the Crooked River Diversion Canal - This project involves a feasibility level assessment of what it will take to pipe our Crooked River Diversion Canal from the main diversion to the main plant. Total project cost estimated at $15,228.96 of which the District is asking federal assistance for $7,309.90. 7. Pipe the Crooked River Distribution Canal- This project involves a feasibility level assessment of what it will take to pipe our Crooked River Distribution Canal from the main plant to the Lytle Creek. Total project cost estimated at $15,228.96 of which the District is asking federal assistance for $7,309.90. 8. Pipe the Johnson Creek Canal - This project involves a feasibility level assessment of what it will take to pipe our Johnson Creek Canal from the Johnson Creek plant to the Ochoco Main Canal. Total project cost estimated at $5,153.88 of which the District is asking federal assistance for $2,473.86. 9. Pipe the Lytle Creek West Canal - This project involves a feasibility level assessment of what it will take to pipe our Lytle Creek West Canal from the Grimes Flat Pumps to the Ochoco Main Canal. Total project cost estimated at $4,748.88 of which the District is asking federal assistance for $2,279.46. 10. Pipe the Lytle Creek East Canal - This project involves a feasibility level assessment of what it will take to pipe our Lytle Creek East Canal from the Grimes Flat Pumps to the Ochoco Main Canal. Total project cost

42 estimated at $4,478.88 of which the District is asking federal assistance for $2,149.86. 11. Pipe Misc. Small Canals and Laterals - This project involves a feasibility level assessment of what it will take to pipe our remaining small canals and laterals. Total project cost estimated at $16,705.08 of which the District is asking federal assistance for $8,018.44. 12. Install Wetlands out Campbell Ranch Road - This project involves a feasibility level assessment of what it will take to create a wetlands large enough to cleanse the "tail" water from the Districts return flows. Total project cost is $20,396.28 of which the District is asking federal assistance for $9,790.21. 13. Evaluate System Losses and Quantify Spillback - All of the projects within this SOR are aimed at reducing waste and conserving both water and energy. All of this work will revolve around the use of good reliable data. This project will come up with a plan and will implement it such that the data we collect will accurately depict what is actually happening within the District. The District will need to upgrade several measuring devices to accurately measure the spillback so we have included $5,000 for the measuring equipment. Total project cost (including the $5,000) is $28,731.68 of which the District is asking federal assistance for $13,791.21. 14. Evaluate GIS System - The Districts GIS system is the lifeblood of all of our record keeping. This project will modernize, standardize and update our record keeping operation with new information as it becomes available. We will be able to better keep track of our water rights, transfers, as well as our instream leases, and billing. Total project cost $12,436.56 of which the District is asking federal assistance for $5,969.55. 15. Complete District Water Conservation Plan - This project will take the existing, out of date plan and update and modernize it to the point it will be turned into the OWRD for approval. As part of this process the District will work with DRC to review and explore conservation opportunities such as water marketing, leasing, reservoir management, policies and constraints. Total project cost $9,692.28 of which the District is asking federal assistance for $4,652.29. 16. Evaluate Hydro on Ochoco Dam - Within this SOR the District will complete a feasibility level evaluation of installing a hydroelectric power plant on the Ochoco dam. Total project cost is $11,596.32 of which the District is asking federal assistance for $5,566.23.

Feasibility of this list of projects will be completed by Kevin Crew of Black Rock Engineering. The District will utilize staff to assist for our in-kind match. We have also come up with commitments from PGE for $30,000, BPA for $10,000, DRC for $10,000, and we have also talked with OWES about an additional $10,000 but their grant cycle does not come around until October. We are confident that this grant is well within our capability to complete within the timeframes set forth within.

43 Since the nature of tl1is grant is for feasibility and data gathering the District does not feel as though any issues regarding environmental and regulatory compliance will arise. Therefore we have not included any funds for these items.
