The project summarizes the condition of stream habitat, the distribution and abundance of salmonid fishes, and the potential for restoration. The ODFW Aquatic Inventories Project has conducted stream habitat surveys as part of its basin survey project and habitat assessment project under the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds. The goal of these surveys was to document the status and trends of stream conditions in coastal drainages. These surveys in conjunction with fish distribution, fish presence, potential barriers to passage, and past restoration activities form the basis of the analyses.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Salmon, Steelhead and Bull Trout (SSBT) Pre-cursor Layer for Western Oregon Abstract -- This dataset represents both a derivation and synthesis of seven Oregon Fish Habitat Distribution datasets (winter steelhead, summer steelhead, coho salmon, spring Chinook, fall Chinook, chum salmon and Bull Trout) into a single SSBT dataset to support forestry related water protection rules. Stream reaches were filtered to include only the currently accessible habitat for the aforementioned species within the four Oregon Dept. of Forestry georegions in western Oregon: Western Cascade, Interior, Coast Range and South Coast. Basis categories were generalized into the following categories: observation-based or opinion-based. Observation based records include those records with a basis of: "Documented Observation of Fish" or observations of fish made during a protocol based survey, "Undocumented Observation of Fish" or observations of fish made during a non-protocol based survey, "Documented Observation of Habitat" or observation of habitat during a protocol based survey, and "Downstream of Documented Observation of Fish". Opinion based records include only those records which have a "Concurrence of Professional Opinion" amongst multiple fisheries biologists. The Oregon Fish Habitat Distribution Data Standard includes descriptions of these basis categories as well as the rules required for implementing updates. Data were synthesized into this single GIS dataset by selecting the "highest" record basis present across all 7 datasets. If an observation based record occurred within any one of the seven datasets, it was retained. If no observation based records were present across all seven species, the record was identified as opinion based. These data include all ODF stream size classes and also all ownerships and will be processed further by the Oregon Dept. of Forestry to identify where SSBT stream reaches occur on small and medium streams and on private lands in Western Oregon. Original source data are referenced to the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). In some rare cases, records for different species describing the same stream reach may be represented by different stream geometry due to mapping that referenced different versions of the NHD.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Riparian Function and Stream Temperature: Effectiveness of Oregon Department of Forestry’s Protection Rules and Strategies (OWEB #201-733) Abstract -- The Forest Practices Monitoring Program proposes in this report that future monitoring, with the objective to evaluate effectiveness, utilize a pre/post harvest measurement design coupled with control reaches. The proposed project evaluates stream temperature and riparian condition before and after harvesting. Sites will be evaluated on both privately-owned and state-owed forestland. A pre/post- study design that establishes control, treatment, and downstream reaches, 2 years prior to harvest is proposed. Temperature, channel, overstory and understory riparian characteristics will be monitored two years prior to harvest and for 5 years after harvesting to evaluate harvest effects and recovery rates. This project approach, design, and proposed analysis will go through a review process involving reviewers from private research, DEQ, ODF&W, stakeholders, researchers, and representatives of the environmental caucuses.

The goals of this program were discussed by Dalton (1998). Briefly, we examine migration timing and abundance of the various species by size and/or age class. In the Tillamook Bay watershed, the Tillamook County Performance Partnership (TCCP) and the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODFW) have provided funding for monitoring in the Little North Fork (LNF) Wilson and Little South Fork (LSF) Kilchis rivers. Data collected during the 2001 trapping season and an annual report are presented for juvenile salmonid out-migrant trapping on the LNF Wilson and LSF Kilchis rivers. Juvenile chinook salmon numbers had decreased greatly each year from 1998 to 2000 in both rivers, but in 2001 this trend was reversed. Data is presented as tables and figures within the report.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: 2000-2002, Effectiveness Monitoring for the Western Oregon Stream Restoration Program Abstract -- This report characterizes change in habitat conditions of restoration projects competed by Western Oregon Stream Restoration Program biologists. Typical restoration activities included the placement of large wood and/or boulders in stream channels, removal of culvert passage barriers, riparian planting, road decommissioning, and streamside fencing. Implementation occurred coast-wide and in the Willamette Valley, with an overall goal of enhancing aquatic habitat for salmonid species. This program works in cooperation with the Oregon Heritage Foundation, Oregon Department of Forestry, US Fish and Wildlife Service, US Forest Service, industrial and private landowners, and watershed councils. Projects that were implemented in 2000 and 2001 were monitored to assess baseline pre-treatment and one-year post-treatment conditions. Additionally, projects that were treated in 1995 were monitored in 1996 to assess one-year post-treatment conditions and in 2001 to assess six-year posttreatment conditions. The objectives of the monitoring program were to describe changes in channel morphology, channel unit composition, and structural complexity in the restoration project areas.
