  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Tualatin Subbasin Fish Management Plan 1991 - Draft Abstract -- The Fish Management Policy of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) requires that management plans be prepared for each basin or management unit. A high priority of the Willamette Basin Fish Management Plan (ODFW 1988) was the preparation of plans for subbasins within the Willamette system. The Tualatin Subbasin Fish Management Plan (hereafter referred to as the Tualatin Plan) was developed to direct management of the fish resources of the Tualatin Subbasin. The scope of the plan includes the main stem Tualatin River and its tributaries. It excludes lakes and reservoirs (e.g., Henry Hagg Lake) for which mini-management plans will or have been written.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: South Santiam Watershed Assessment Abstract -- The South Santiam River drains approximately 1,040 square miles and is a primary tributary to the Willamette River. The South Santiam River watershed is situated in the Western Cascades and flows into the Willamette Valley. The River runs approximately from east to west, with steep mountainous terrain comprising the eastern 80% of the watershed. The western 20% of the watershed leading to the Santiam River and ultimately the Willamette River, is comprised of a floodplain dominated by grass seed farming and urban/rural development. The basin ranges in elevation from 220 feet to approximately 5,721 feet. The South Santiam watershed was divided into an upper section (Headwaters, Quartzville, Middle Santiam and Foster watersheds) and a lower section (Lower South Santiam, Crabtree, Thomas, and Wiley subwatersheds) due to ecological differences such as ecoregion, management, and elevation. The assessment was conducted in six parts including Channel Habitat Typing, Channel Modification, Riparian, Water Use and Hydrology, Fisheries, and Water Quality. Following is a summary of results from each of the sections.

The focus of iteration 1.0 was the serpentine portion of the watershed on Forest Service lands. The purpose of the current document and analysis is to expand on this earlier analysis by adding the lower elevation BLM land areas. It identifies the various ecosystem components in the lower elevation areas of the West Fork Illinois River fifth field watershed and their interactions at a landscape scale. The analysis looks at historical ecological components, current ecological components and trends. It makes recommendations for future management actions that could be implemented to reach recommended ecological conditions.

This analysis was conducted by Siuslaw National Forest personnel with assistance from the Bureau of Land Management - Coos Bay District. The analysis was focused on fisheries and wildlife issues. The existing resource conditions were compared to expected natural conditions to assess trends in resource conditions. From this information, a strategy of restoration opportunities to enhance resource conditions on federal lands was developed.

The Upper Grande Ronde River (UGRR) and Joseph Creek watersheds support two of the four Major Population Groups (MPG) in the Grande Ronde River basin. These populations are segregated based on topographic, genetic, and behavioral evidence of interactions. Historically, the Grande Ronde River was one of the more significant anadromous fish producing rivers in the Columbia River Basin. Despite recovery efforts, these populations remain depressed relative to historic levels. The goal of this project is to annually evaluate summer steelhead population abundance for the UGRR, and recently Joseph Creek, by conducting surveys of redds and spawning activity. These surveys provide the data needed to estimate adult steelhead escapement, improve our understanding of habitat utilization, and contribute to productivity and survival estimates for these populations.
