Leaburg Lake boat landing project
Construction of a new boat landing near Leaburg Lake is part of EWEB's requirements
for being granted a new federal operating license for its Leaburg and Walterville
hydroelectric facilities.
In 2007 EWEB hired OBEC Consulting Engineers, a Eugene engineering firm, to conduct
a technical evaluation of five potential sites. EWEB Commissioners discussed the
alternatives and gathered public comments at several meetings held over a period
of six months.
The Board voted 3-2 in favor of the Goodpasture Site, which is located
just downstream from the Goodpasture Bridge. EWEB commissioners later voted to spend
$559,900 to purchase the Goodpasture Site.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) hired an environmental consultant to perform an Environmental Assessment (EA)
of the selected site. The EA was completed in October 2009.
Facility design work and zoning modification to accommodate the landing are complete. The current
schedule calls for construction of the landing in the summer of 2010, pending issuance of final permits.
