Middle Fork Irrigation District (MFID), which services irrigation customers over thousands of acres of land in the Hood River Valley that are "critically dependent on predictable and sufficient water supply...", is concerned with this application given climate change and specifically shrinking glaciers. MFID states that it and ODFW have a long history of collaboration to achieve mutually beneficial outcomes and that MFID wants to continue a "flexible approach" to meet both "predictable supplies and instream flows..." "MFID asks that OWRD commit to subordinating or modify an eventual instream right where doing so would serve mutual goals in the basin."
