KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. -
The Bureau of Reclamation and Klamath Irrigation District will hold a second negotiation session on a proposed Extraordinary Operation and Maintenance
Contract for the C Flume. KID members voted on March 8, 2016 to enter into this contract with Reclamation to replace the 94-year-old flume. The C Flume is
an elevated 4,200-foot-long section of the C Canal built by Reclamation in 1922. It is designed to carry up to 345 cubic feet per second and irrigates
21,990 acres of land within the Klamath Project. Age-related concrete deterioration coupled with continuing freeze-thaw damage has jeopardized the
integrity of the structure. The contract is needed to provide financing to KID to repair the C Flume. The negotiation session will be held:
Thursday, March 24, 1-3 p.m.
Klamath Basin Area Office
6600 Washburn Way
Klamath Falls, OR 97603
The public is welcome to view the negotiation session and may have the opportunity to provide public comments immediately following the negotiation
session. Participation instructions and copies of the proposed draft contract will be provided at the negotiation session.
