Smoke spreads across Basin A complex of large fires continues to burn See WILDFIRES, page A5 Putting a price on water H&N photo by Steven Silton Jason Nash has water on part of his property, but dry pastures have reduced the size of his herd significantly. By LACEY JARRELL H&N Staff Reporter Jason Nash knew the risks of agricul- ture when he purchased his 1,800-acre Langell Valley farm in 2009. He knew water in the Klamath Basin was tight, and he knew about the pos- sibility of short irrigation seasons. What he ended up with, was water curtail- ments four out of the five years he has lived at the ranch. Two of those years, Nash didn’t receive any water at all. Nash said his ranch has been on the housing market off and on over the last five years. He said he’s interested in building a new ranch, and that he’s not motivated to sell by water uncertainty, but unreliable water deliveries certainly have impacted his ability to close a deal. “Water is more valuable than ground that’s going fallow,” he said. Water issues a struggle for ranch, farm real estate sales IMPACTS OF KLAMATH BASIN WATER UNCERTAINTY Irrigator shutoffs continue Congressional aid package stalls; revised version considered By LACEY JARRELL H&N Staff Reporter Water issues continue to plague Klamath Basin ranchers and farmers as drought forces more shutoffs. Meanwhile, a congressional bill to aid those groups is stalled in Congress. On July 18, water shutoff notices were sent to about 20 upper Basin irrigators near the Sprague and Sycan rivers. Kyle Gorman, regional manager of the Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD), said the shutoffs included irrigators with water rights dating back to 1864. Irrigators along the Wood River have not received shut- off notices. Water rights were first rec- ognized in 2013 when OWRD implemented water deliveries based on state adjudication. Water adjudication provides for surface water rights based on priority date of property claims. The older the claim date, the more senior the water right — junior water users’ irrigation supply can be shut off if a senior water right makes a claim to that water.

Every place is going to have an issue; you just have to figure out what battle you want to fight.’ — Don Downing, Coldwell Banker agent By LACEY JARRELL H&N Staff reporter There are several large fires, or a complex of them, in the Klamath Falls region that are contributing to the smoke settling across the Basin. The following is the latest update on those fires: Beaver Complex As of noon Saturday, the Beaver Complex had scorched more than 22,000 acres in Oregon and California. The two lightning-caused fires that make up the Beaver Complex, the Oregon Gulch and the Salt Creek, ignited Wednesday. The largest fire, Oregon Gulch, has burned 21,088 acres in the Soda Mountain Wilder- ness south of Highway 66 and 15 miles east of Ashland. The Gulch fire has destroyed three homes, five outbuildings and several vehicles, according to a news release. Fire activity forced the Bureau of Land Management to close a section of the Klam- ath River Friday, according to Dave Cantrell, a BLM public information officer. He said the section from the John C. Boyle powerplant to the state line is closed. The Salt Creek fire slightly increased from 108 to 146 acres Friday. A fire line has been established around the entire perimeter of the fire, a release said.
