<P><STRONG><FONT size=3>Jason Phillips Selected as Area Manager for
Reclamation’s Klamath Basin Area Office</FONT></STRONG></P>
<P>The Bureau of Reclamation’s Mid-Pacific Region announces the selection of
Jason Phillips as the Area Manager of the Klamath Basin Area Office located in
Klamath Falls, Oregon. Phillips is scheduled to begin his new job in
January 2011.</P>
<P>Donald R. Glaser, Regional Director, Mid-Pacific Region, stated: “Jason
Phillips’ past experience and demonstrated skills managing complex water
management programs make him extremely well-suited to lead the Klamath Basin
Area Office.” </P>
<P>As Area Manager, Phillips will direct and oversee program activities for the
Klamath Project which provides irrigation water for about 240,000 acres as well
as water for the Klamath National Wildlife Refuges. A key element of the
Area Manager position will be continuing to lead the extensive restoration
programs under way in the Klamath Basin.</P>
<P>Phillips began his federal career working for the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers in Portland, Oregon, and later in Sacramento, California, as a project
manager on flood control and ecosystem restoration projects, including the
Sacramento-San Joaquin River Comprehensive Study. Phillips joined the
Mid-Pacific Region in 2001 and has managed several critical water resources
programs, including the Upper San Joaquin River Basin Storage Investigation, the
San Luis Drainage Feature Re-evaluation, federal CALFED Bay-Delta Program
activities, and currently the San Joaquin River Restoration Program.</P>
<P>Phillips holds a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering from
Portland State University. </P>
