The Hampton Lumber Mill in Willamina, Oregon is building a storm retention system and pond to pump all storm runoff, replacing an existing pond on the other side of the mill.

The project, which has two phases, started in mid-August 2022. The pond's preparation, excavation, and material removal comprised the first phase, which is now finished. Approximately ten thousand cubic yards of material have been removed and excavated thus far. The installation of pipe utilities and the running of the storm line comprise the second phase, which will start shortly.
