Title

Water Resources Department memo regarding Rajneesh water permit application

Description

A September 20, 1984 State of Oregon interoffice memo from Bill Young, Director of Water Resources, to Pat Amedeo in the Governor's Office regarding Application 68110. The memo states that the Rajneesh Neo-Sannyas International Commune had submitted an application to appropriate water from the John Day River to irrigate 10.7 acres. Young notes that the section of river was within the Scenic Waterway established in 1971 and that staff were working with the Director of State Parks on required findings before the permit could be issued.

This is one document from a binder containing various notes, memos, and official documents relating to the Rajneesh movement compiled by Gerry Thompson. Thompson was Oregon Governor Victor Atiyeh's Chief of Staff during most of his governorship.
