A Year’s Worth Of Controversy Hasn’t Put This Oregon Dairy Under ... Yet

By Courtney Flatt Jun 1, 2018

One of the Northwest’s largest dairies has faced some big troubles in its first year of operation. The rise and rapid fall of Lost Valley Farm has deeply frustrated environmentalists and has shocked neighboring farms and fellow dairy operators.

The dairy had come into the Columbia Basin promising jobs to surrounding rural communities and responsible environmental stewardship for its proposed 30,000-cow operation in Boardman, Oregon.

It failed on those promises, fast.

“You couldn’t have made this situation up if you wanted to,” said Chad Allen, a Tillamook dairy operator and the president of the Oregon Dairy Farmers Association.

Just over two months after Lost Valley Farm received key permits and began operating, the state Department of Agriculture issued the mega-dairy’s first citation. Inspectors visited the farm at least every week. Violation after violation piled up.

Critics of Lost Valley Farm and other large farming operations sounded the alert early over industrial-scale pollution and threats to public health, yet they have not been enough to completely shut down Lost Valley Farm. Opponents tried to put a halt to Lost Valley before the dairy ever started milking cows. Turns out, there was something to those warnings.

“We had concerns from the outset when we first heard about (the Lost Valley Farm) proposal, and those concerns largely fell on deaf ears,” said Lauren Goldberg, staff attorney with the environmental group Columbia Riverkeeper.

Lost Valley Farm’s rapid and spectacular fall has served to reinforce critics’ depictions of concentrated animal feeding operations — or CAFOs — which are part of a national trend in agriculture.

Rise Of The Mega-Farms Farming has been shifting for decades from smaller family farms to mega-

scale industrial operations. The massive volumes of animal excrement, climatewarming methane gas and airborne pollution from these so-called factory farms have drawn the scrutiny from environmental groups and neighboring communities.

Most of the problems at Lost Valley were caused by improper storage of manure and other waste. Manure spilled over the tops of lagoons or leaked from conveyance pipes transporting wet waste from the milking facility to lagoons; manure was stored in the wrong spots.

“They consistently had issues — whether they were unable or unwilling (to fix problems), I can’t really speak to that,” said Alexis Taylor, director of the Oregon Department of Agriculture.

Taylor said the dairy also did not report problems within 24 hours of their occurrence.

Lost Valley Farm owner Greg te Velde did not respond to interview questions.

The state eventually took te Velde to court to essentially stop production at Lost Valley Farm. It was an extremely rare move on the Department of Agriculture’s part. They reached a strict settlement, but the dairy has continued to violate its permits.

When it comes to Lost Valley Farm’s record of violations, its volume and severity stands out among farm operations in the Northwest. Not only has it failed numerous inspections and been tagged with at least seven citations — but the Boardman operation was also hit with a $10,640 civil penalty and taken to court, all while it is still producing milk.

By contrast, fewer than 1 percent of her department’s 880 inspections in 2017 of concentrated animal feeding operations in the state resulted in violations that lead to civil penalties or other injunctive relief, Taylor said.

After a lengthy legal battle, the Yakima Valley dairies had to provide other sources of drinking water for their neighbors and follow a strict cleanup plan — they contended it went further than state and federal standards.

Washington’s Yakima County has the most dairy cows in the state — about 98,000 mature cows, according to the Department of Agriculture. Milk is Washington’s second-ranking commodity, bringing in $1.1 billion as of 2016.

Since 2017, Washington has required all dairies with more than 200 cows to follow stricter water quality standards.

Other Northwest communities have also seen pollution pile up from mega-dairies.

In a groundbreaking case in Washington, a handful of dairies in the Yakima Valley were sued by environmental

“It’s been an issue that we’ve been working through for over 20 years now,” said Aaron Madison, a fourth-generation farmer whose Eastern Oregon dairy operation is about 14 miles east of Lost Valley Farm.

Making Improvements Since learning in the early 1990s that the area had a problem with nitrates contaminating its drinking water, Madison’s family has worked to reduce runoff from their farm, continuously updating irrigation equipment and soil monitors. A lot of it makes economic sense, Madison said, but he also wants to be a good stewContinued on page 15

“We don’t want to have a legacy of negative environmental benefit. We’d rather be proactive and manage our resources as efficiently and effectively as possible,” Madison said.

That’s why it’s frustrating, he said, to have another farm nearby polluting an area that’s still got a long way to go until its nitrate levels improve.

Big Thirst For Water

administration of (Lost Valley Farm).”

Lost Valley Farm has searched for a number of options to get enough water, most recently asking to transfer water rights from another nearby farm. Opponents are concerned that the dairy wants to use water in different ways than the neighboring farm, which could drain water from the area’s critical aquifer.

And te Velde said he believed fixes to the dairy can happen soon.

That’s too many problems for one large dairy, said Ivan Maluski.

For its part, the Department of Agriculture said the 11 groundwater monitoring wells around Lost Valley Farm have not shown “any environmental impacts.”

“You have to ask the question why and what needs to be changed in order to make sure that can’t happen again,” Maluski said.

“We would say it’s one of the most extensive monitoring in place for any (concentrated animal feeding operation) in the state,” said Taylor, the Oregon Department of Agriculture director.

He wants mega-dairies like Lost Valley Farm to go through a different permitting system than other CAFOs. Currently, the “large permit” is for a herd of 700 cows or more. Lost Valley Farm has had more than 10,000 cows.

Groups opposed to the dairy question whether Lost Valley Farm’s violations haven’t affected groundwater. Ivan Maluski is with Friends of Family Farmers — the group has fought the permitting of Lost Valley Farm since the beginning.

“ODA is trying to split hairs here.

They’re saying, ‘We’ve observed these serious violations. They’re so severe that we took the operation to court. But we didn’t detect any pollution getting into the groundwater,’” Maluski said. “I’m suggesting that’s because their monitoring isn’t set up to tell them what they’re looking for.”

In other words, Maluski said, the groundwater monitoring wells are testing fields where the dairy used manure as fertilizer, not where the lagoons and pipes are overflowing and leaking. The Oregon Department of Agriculture said the lagoons at Lost Valley Farm have a separate leak detection system.

A nearby dairy has also questioned whether there is enough water for Lost Valley Farm — something opposition groups also claim. They said Lost Valley Farm did not have a big enough source of permanent water when its initial permits were granted.

“They clearly did not have their water supply pinned down — and when everybody knew that there could be some significant issues in them getting the water that they needed to operate. As it turned out, there were some significant issues,” said Brian Posewitz, staff attorney at the advocacy group WaterWatch of Oregon.

Oregon Department of Agriculture Director Taylor said the system worked — the permits stopped pollution before it got too bad.

“The CAFO permit itself is environmentally protective. The permit has not been followed, and that’s really the problem,” Taylor said.

‘Management That Failed’ Dairyman Chad Allen discounts the notion that Lost Valley Farm’s problems are a consequence of its size and scale.

He said it’s just one poorly managed operation — something that can and should be resolved.

“It wasn’t that the farm failed. It was that the management that failed,” Allen said.

“Chances are somebody else will come along in time, will acquire the assets of this operation, and be quite successful.”

“My overall plan is to preserve my CAFO permit and then find funding to bring 3,000 heifers back from (a local calf ranch) to stabilize my Oregon herd.

At that point I will evaluate whether to reorganize or sell (Lost Valley Farm),” te Velde wrote.

But it’ll be an uphill battle without much support. The dairy has angered neighbors — more than 20 area businesses are listed as creditors in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings te Velde filed in April, with other creditors scattered throughout the Northwest.

“I filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy to get a breathing spell to get my operations in order,” te Velde wrote in court documents.

The Tillamook Creamery Association — a nationally recognized cheese and ice cream co-op that promotes its dairies’ commitment to sustainability — has said it’s discontinuing its contract with Lost Valley Farm, and in court documents said it will stop picking up milk from the dairy on May 31. (Te Velde has contested Tillamook’s contract termination.)

The Pendleton-based Eastern Oregonian newspaper has published an editorial stating the dairy shouldn’t receive any more “slaps on the wrist.”

“Eastern Oregon will always be ag country, and we support the many farmers

and ranchers who are conservationists at heart — people who know that if you take care of the land, the land will take care of you. But Lost Valley has been off to a bad start, and is giving farmers a bad name,” the editors wrote.

A Once And Future Mega-Dairy?

Whether the dairy is able to continue or is sold could be decided soon. Rabobank, one of te Velde’s creditors, is seeking to sell off his herd.

“Mr. te Velde is opposing (the sell off),” said Riley Walter, te Velde’s bankruptcy attorney. “It’s his belief that the herd and land together have a value significantly more than the land would be worth without cows on the dairy.”

Court documents filed with the bankruptcy hearing show that Lost Valley Farm was not in compliance with its permits as of May 15, and the Oregon Department of Agriculture is seeking to hold a contempt hearing, after the dairy continued to violate its permits.

“I think we are at a point, from the department’s prospective, that this operator is not able to comply with the permit,” Taylor said. “We are continuing our regulatory process and continuing our inspections. We continue to have conversations with our colleagues at the Department of Justice on next steps for the facility.”

BUCKLES RV SALES

Allen said he believed personal problems contributed to Lost Valley Farm’s failure.

In court documents, Lost Valley Farm owner Greg te Velde has said his problems with methamphetamine addiction hurt his ability to run a successful business. Te Velde said he has voluntarily entered a substance abuse treatment program.

“It should be noted that although (the creditor) has pointed out my substance abuse problem, it does not contend that I have cheated, lied, or stolen,” te Velde wrote in court documents. “I have the management operations to handle the

Books of Summer: Kick back and soak up tales of Klamath countryDS

e

By LEE JUILLERAT For the Herald and News June 1, 2018

Yun, one of the book’s main characters, reflects, “When you observe the lake from the shoreline, you have to wonder if they poured in some magical dye to make it so incredibly blue.” It’s an observation lake visitors have made for generations and for generations yet to come.

‘The Azure Dream’ What might Crater Lake National Park be like in another 21 years?

In “The Azure Dream,” J.C. “Jake” Klauder imagines a time in 2049 when, after the United States is conquered by China, the park reopens as the Crater Lake Geopark. It’s a very different place with things like a clear polymer tube, nicknamed the Azure Dream, that descends from Wizard Island to an observation room at the lake’s deepest depth, and a Rim Village that’s brimming with “gaudy glass hotels” while tourists buzz over the lake in hover vehicles.

He says evidence used to date Mazama’s climatic eruption, the carbon 14 to carbon 12 ratio of wood dusted or buried in ash, is based on incorrect assumptions. He questions how a snag covered with Mazama ash could still be standing, insisting, “It’s not possible. It (the ash) is not going to preserve the wood that long.” From another perspective, Anderson believes Native legends “of the fire from the mountain without a written record could not survive back to the beginning of civilization.” And, as a Christian, Anderson believes the 7,700 years ago explosion questions the Bible teachings of Noah and the worldwide flood, insisting, “To me, it’s important

Challenging long accepted beliefs that Crater Lake was formed when Mount Mazama erupted 7,700 years ago is Ralph E. Anderson in, “Trees, Rocks, and Beyond: Crater Lake Eruption 16151665.” Anderson argues the eruption actually happened 200 to 400 years Published Each Wednesday ago.

He bases his sure-to-be disputed findings on various factors — standing snags buried in Mazama ash, findings from Mount Hood’s last eruption, and the faster than expected recovery of lands surrounding Mount St. Helens. A retired carpenter, he writes, “I am in no danger of losing my status as a scientist, so I can write without fear of being ostracized by my peers and colleagues, or fired from my

T b n t f p the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge and Eastern Oregon’s desert country are included in “A Glimpse Into History: What Prominent People Have Said About Nature in Oregon and the Need to Conserve It.” In the book, long-time Sierra Club executive Michael McCloskey provides insights by more than 90 people who have played roles in preserving Oregon’s environment. In protecting lands that became Crater Lake National Park, for example, he keys on Frances Fuller Victor, Judge John B. Waldo and, of course, William Steel. McCloskey includes words Steele wrote after his first lake visit, “An over-mastering conviction came to me that this wonderful spot must be saved — wild and beautiful — just as it was for future generations, and that it was up to me to do something. I then and there had the impression that in some way (I didn’t know how) the lake ought to be a National Park.”

Klauder, a Klamath Falls mailman, is a science fiction buff and Bible reader — “I do share my Christian faith, and that’s important to me.” Both elements are evident in “Dream,” which includes several of his poems, including the vividly alluring “Mother Nature’s Allure.”

Klauder’s familiarity with what we know as Crater Lake National Park goes beyond the lake, including the Pinnacles, Pumice Castle, The Wineglass and Llao’s Hallway, and he also references things familiar, like Upper Klamath Lake, pelicans and dancing grebes.

job because the evidence is contrary to their educated writing and reading.”

because it scoffs at the truthfulness of the Bible. The evidence supports the biblical account.”

Why did he write a book, one he acknowledges won’t be accepted by the scientific community? “I understand to most people it isn’t important,” Anderson said of questioning the date of Mazama’s eruption. “I think they’re already convinced that’s (the 7,700 years ago explosion) the truth. If they disagree that’s fine, and if they agree with me, that’s fine, too.” ”Trees, Rocks, And Beyond: Crater Lake Eruption 1615-1665,” by Ralph E.

In summarizing, Shanks observes, “In Klamath and Modoc basketry we see two very closely related cultures producing highly specialized, creative baskets where tule predominated to an extent found nowhere else in the United States.

These are lovely baskets from an ancient tradition. We are fortunate that the Klamath and Modoc carried on this great tradition so the world could know it.”

Shanks also cites anthropologist Samuel Barrett, who wrote, “on the whole (the Klamath and Modoc) must be placed in a class by themselves are regards their material culture, with their specialized tule ... objects, and implements for use in the water, and their characteristic foods,” most notably the yellow pond lily seeds called wokus.

‘Indian Baskets’ Klamath and Modoc Indian basketry is discussed in “Indian Baskets of Northern California and Oregon,” by Ralph Shanks and edited by Lisa Woo Shanks.

The third in a series of semi-scholarly books about Indian baskets of California, volume three focuses on a region that extends from far Northern California and includes all of Oregon. Of particular regional interest is a chapter

in the north and into California in the south ... The Klamath-Modoc hat apparently was the grandmother of women’s hats in the West.”

Along with baskets, Shanks cites research that credits the Klamath and Modoc wokas mush eating bowls as being possibly the first to be used for eating, and later were used as women’s hat and hanging baskets. “The basic ideas and forms of Klamath-Modoc hats thus possibly spread to the Columbia River

More fun than you can shake a carrot at

By STEPHEN FLOYD H&N Staff Reporter Jun 3, 2018

The Klamath Falls Farmers’ Market sprang to life Saturday for the start of the 2018 season.

C t c c

With an ever-expanding array of vendors and services, organizer Charlie Wyckoff said he is looking forward to a summer of family-friendly shopping opportunities.

H i c a w

“When it starts up, I love it,” he said.

H T f t t 2 m f e s w a

The market is continuing with such successful programs as accepting EBT payments. Shoppers pay at a central booth and receive vouchers they can spend at food vendors.

In years past, the market was able to offer a $10 match through a grant from Farmers Market Fund, however the grant is no longer available this year. Instead they are offering a $4 match with funds raised from a fresh-squeezed lemonade stand, while Wyckoff said he is also interested in business sponsorship to restore the $10 match.

In a repeat of last year, all 55 vendor booths are filled as interest has far outpaced availability. Wyckoff said competition for vendor space has allowed them to be more selective about the producers and artisans they approve, and said he is hoping to have about a 2-1 ratio of produce versus craft items.

Potentially new this year could be the “VeggieRx” program, which would provide “prescription” vouchers for fresh produce. Wyckoff said the market is working with Sky Lakes Medical Center

Chiloquin remembers former mayor, tribal vice-chair the Chiloquin City Council in 2011. Hobbs was elected mayor pro-tem by his fellow councilors in 2013 and, after then-Mayor Patricia Twamley resigned that April, Hobbs became mayor and served through 2016.

By STEPHEN FLOYD H&N Staff Reporter Jun 1, 2018

Chiloquin is saying farewell to Joe Hobbs, long-time tribal council member and former city councilor and mayor.

Hobbs died May 24 at his home in Chiloquin at the age of 67. A career logger, Hobbs brought his appreciation for nature to his work in community leadership.

Vision for the city Teresa Foreman, city recorder for Chiloquin, said Hobbs was a “really good council member and a really good mayor” and had a vision for the city.

Hobbs served on the Klamath Tribes’ Executive Committee from 1994 to 1999 then continued when the group became the Tribal Council in 1999 until 2010, serving as its vice-chairman for 11 years. He advocated for the importance of preserving endangered sucker species, and salmon in the Klamath Basin, as well as responsible forest management.

“Joe Hobbs was devoted to the community he lived in and was the kind of leader, neighbor and friend any person would benefit from knowing,” said Foreman.

Hobbs was part of efforts in 2003 to establish a 690,000-acre reservation for the Tribes on local forestland. The proposal met resistance from residents concerned about preserving the Fremont-Winema National Forest and was ultimately unsuccessful.

Heart for the people Don Gentry, chairman for the Klamath Tribes, remembered Hobbs as a man who lived out the policies he promoted on the council.

“He was a sustenance hunter, fisherman and gatherer and was dedicated to

his job,” said Gentry.

Hobbs was also passionate about working with and serving others and spent time as a pastor for In Jesus’ Name Church.

“He really cared for the people, really his heart was toward the people,” said Gentry.

Following his time in tribal leadership, Hobbs continued to serve his community by seeking an appointment to

regulating medical marijuana dispensaries.

Hobbs’ last year as mayor was marked by declining health after he suffered multiple bone fractures from a vehicle collision in March of 2016. He remained in office but was unable to attend all meetings and did not seek re-election.

A memorial service to remember Hobbs is scheduled for Saturday at 11 a.m. at the Chiloquin High School gym. Gentry said the Tribes plan to present a plaque to Hobbs’ family in his honor.

As mayor, Hobbs worked to strengthen the relationship between the city and the Tribes, including working with the Tribes to seek grants for a skate park and city infrastructure projects. Hobbs also oversaw the city’s re-acquisition of the Chiloquin Rodeo and Event Park in 2015, and Chiloquin’s transition under Oregon’s new legalized marijuana laws that year including an ordinance

County considering animal control savings

By STEPHEN FLOYD H&N Staff Reporter Jun 3, 2018

Klamath County commissioners are considering a new strategy to pay for services in the Animal Control department that could save around $15,000 per year.

During a workshop meeting Wednesday, commissioners discussed the flat fee of $50,000 per year they have been paying the Klamath Animal Shelter since 2015 for the care of seized animals.

animal to the shelter and probably only spend around $35,000 per year.

“The animals are coming in and out of the system really fast,” said Commissioner Donnie Boyd.

Commissioners made no decision Wednesday and would need to approve any changes to the animal shelter contract during a regular Tuesday business meeting.

A change in rates would be part of ongoing efforts to revamp animal control Due to a decrease in the amount of time after commissioners learned in January animals are remaining in custody while the department was spending significourt cases are pending, commissioncantly more than it was taking in. At the ers said they could pay a daily rate per time, the department had expended 75 percent of its budget half-way through Emergency and Social Service the fiscal year.

Changes have included contracting with the animal shelter for front desk services, increasing dog license fees and splitting one assistant animal control officer position with code enforcement.

Though animal control is currently turning a profit, it is still expected to end the fiscal year with a deficit, said Boyd.

Another potential change would need to come from residents who own dogs but have not purchased a license. It is estimated there are around 70,000 pet dogs in Klamath County, but only around 15,000 are licensed.

THINKSTOCK STOCK IMAGE

Boyd said licensing dogs is a matter of public safety, as doing so proves the animal has been properly vaccinated. This will help in the instance of a resident who is attacked by a dog, as a license can be used to verify the animal is not carrying rabies or other dangerous diseases.

Under current fees, if all unlicensed dogs were properly licensed, this could generate between $687,500 and $1.65 million per year for the department, depending on the status of the animal and the owner.
