Lincoln County Welcomes Americorps Team
Lincoln County’s Youth Center will host a welcome BBQ and potluck for a 9-member Americorp team on April 14th. The public is invited to the celebration at the Center (410 S. Main in Richfield) starting at 6 p.m. The Americorp team will help get the new center ready for the arrival of students for the county’s afterschool program in August. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with these young people have proven their dedication to serve in American communities like ours,” said Lincoln County Youth Commission President, Karma Metzler Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald said the Americorp volunteers will be painting the building, located in Richfield, both inside and out as well as getting the landscaping ready. “It’s no small task. The building sat empty for 6 years. There’s a lot of work that needs done and the help they bring is essential to our success.” Fitzgerald said the team will also be working throughout Lincoln County on several projects from trail building at a new park to helping to install new address poles for emergency medical services. “As a team, we are so excited to be part of this project. After school activities play a huge role in social and educational development and we can’t wait to get started!” said Mary Gill, team leader Americorps NCCC. The Lincoln County Youth Commission was also awarded the prestigious 21st Century Learning Center Grant from the Department of Education. The grant funding totals just over $700,000 to cover the costs of providing after school and summer programming for the next five years. “This is great news for the people of Lincoln County. We’ll be able to serve our children from pre-school to graduation, we’ll create 7 to 10 jobs within the county and the taxpayers here will be able to see a direct return on their investment in the Lincoln County Youth Center.”
April Water Supply Outlook Report
The Natural Resources Conservation Service in Idaho has released the April Water Supply Outlook Report for the 2021 water year. This La Niña winter proved to be drier than hoped for across much of Idaho. Except for the Clearwater Basin, the lack of precipitation during March resulted in near to below normal snowpack across Idaho as of April 1. Across the state, current reservoir storage is on pace with the historical 30-year average storage level, indicating normal winter baseflow into reservoirs. “Dry conditions in the Wood and Lost basin indicate water supply concerns for irrigators, dryland grazing operations and folks relying on natural streamflow,” said Erin Whorton, Hydrologist-Water Supply Specialist for NRCS Snow Survey in Idaho. continued on page 3...

Open House For Lava Ridge Wind Project
Magic Valley Energy, an affiliate of LS Power, is hosting two open house events for Southern Idaho communities to learn more about the Lava Ridge Wind Project. The 1000+ megawatt wind project, planned for Jerome, Lincoln, and Minidoka Counties, will require more than 700 workers during the construction phase, which will have an $80 million positive tax impact for Idaho and an economic output of more than $500 million according to an economic impact assessment. Once in operation, the wind project will provide an estimated $4 million annually to Idaho's tax base, largely impacting the three counties' schools, highway districts, fire, and ambulance services. Community members are invited to attend one of two open houses to learn more about the project and talk with representatives from MVE on April 23rd from 4-7 PM at the CSI Applied Technology and Innovation Center (ATIC) or on April 24th from 3-6 PM Lincoln County Community Center in Shoshone. On April 23rd, Magic Valley Energy along with the College of Southern Idaho's Renewable Energy program, will host interested high school juniors and seniors to learn about the project and CSI's renewable energy degree program. CSI instructors and experienced wind technicians will be on-site to answer questions and demonstrate their climbing and repelling skills at CSI’s state of the art training facility. Interested students should contact their career counselors or Melissa Chantry at mchantry@csi.edu by April 19th. MVE is in the development phase of the project. This period includes interactions with federal, state, and local agencies, environmental and engineering studies, and outreach to local stakeholders. Construction of the project could begin as early as 2022. More information on the project scope, economic impact, and project timeline can be found at www.magicvalleyenergy. com. Public feedback on the proposal is welcome and appreciated and may be submitted to info@magicvalleyenergy.com For more information, please contact Amy Schutte at amy@ hudsonandco.co.

Legislators Investigate Immunization Registry Violations
Press Release Republican Leadership from the Idaho House and Senate received information this past week that the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (IDHW) is and has been registering the immunization status of Idaho adults for years. “This practice goes beyond simple regulatory overreach. This has the potential to be an abuse of the people’s trust,” said Speaker of the House Scott Bedke. “We believe Department of Health and Welfare has no statutory authority to collect immunization data on Idaho adults.” The voluntary immunization registry authorized by Idaho Statute is for “the immunization status of Idaho children against childhood diseases.” Nowhere does Idaho law authorize the collection of immunization information about adults. As part of their due diligence, several members of the Legislature requested their own personal records that may have been reported to IRIS to trace the reporting of COVID-19 vaccines. These requests resulted in multiple reports listing adult vaccination records for multiple different vaccines over multiple years. House and Senate Leadership have formally requested Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden investigate IDHW’s actions and keep them apprised of his efforts.

Rock Creek Bridge Wins Engineering Award
• Wednesday, April 14, 2021 • The Courier NEWS

Reed Hollinshead - Idaho Dept. of Transportation
The replacement of the US-20 culvert at Rock Creek with a bridge and the resulting environmental and economic improvements recently won second place in the Engineering Excellence awards in the American Civil Engineers Council (ACEC) of Idaho annual awards, Water Resources Category in partnership with design firm Jacobs Engineering. The project finished in December 2020. ITD was notified of the award on Jan. 14, 2021. The bridge was recently constructed on US20 in south-central Idaho where only a culvert previously existed. The multi-plate culvert at Rock Creek had reached the end of its useful life and was showing signs of compromise in the flowline. The decision to construct a new bridge to replace the culvert over Rock Creek also addressed other needs. First and foremost, the new bridge remedied the failing multi-plate culverts. The bridge also aided in safety by removing the steep roadway slope section, which had created erosion and maintenance challenge. ITD was able to restore the streams to a more natural condition, which in turn should have a positive effect on the surrounding ecosystem. Building the bridge had less of an impact on the environment than replacing the existing multi-plate culvert. In addition, the new bridge will aid in restoring the habitat to allow unrestricted migration of wildlife and flow of the waterways. Establishing the stream channel under the new bridge helped restore the stream for habitat and encourage safe fish passage under the highway. Allowing wildlife to pass under the highway also reduces the risk of possible accidents involving wildlife and motorists on the roadway. This section of US-20 has seen 64 vehicle-wildlife collisions over the last five years, which has a societal cost of approximately $2 million when you consider vehicle repair or replacement, medical bills, and raised insurance rates. This was one of ITD’s first projects incorporating Fabric Encapsulated Soil Lifts (FESL) into a design, an innovative way to efficiently ensure streambank stability during multiple water levels. The FESL allowed ITD to create a stable bank while still promoting vegetative growth. The project has already improved the environment while enhancing the safety and the natural beauty of the project area. Just a few months after construction, fish were seen swimming upstream to spawn, while several deer (and a moose) were seen traveling ong the channels under the bridges. The economic impact of the work is also significant, as US-20 is one of the longest routes connecting east and west Idaho in support of oversized commercial traffic.
...April Water Supply continued
“There will likely be agricultural water shortages in these basins this summer. In addition, dry conditions in the Bear River Basin are of concern for ranchers using non-irrigated pastures for forage, however, reservoir storage in that basin appears sufficient for irrigators. Drought conditions in central and southern Idaho are expected to persist during spring. Across the Snake River basins, except for Oakley and Salmon Falls, we expect sufficient reservoir supply for irrigators. At report time, we also expect normal irrigation water supply across the rest of Idaho.” Current SNOTEL data indicates that peak snowpack has been reached this winter and the melt season has begun in earnest below the high elevation sites. Once the snowpack reaches 32°F throughout its entire thickness it’s considered isothermal. When the snowpack reaches this point, runoff from snowmelt begins. Cold snaps can temporarily slow down snowmelt, but once the snowpack is isothermal, winter is over, and spring is here to stay. These are the conditions Snow Survey is observing across Idaho. For information on specific basins, streams, and reservoirs, please view the full report online at April Water Supply Outlook Report.
