  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Rock and Richardson Creek Watershed Assessment Abstract -- The intent of this assessment is to provide a framework for action based on a review of the many recent studies that have been completed in this area. The Clackamas Basin Atlas, funded by the Environmental Protection Agency and coordinated by Metro, provides a basin-wide perspective on the entire area. Metro followed up this effort with a landscape study focused on Rock and Richardson Creeks. Pacific Rivers Council and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) have done fish surveys and analyzed the health of aquatic life. During the development of this assessment Clackamas County was in the midst of completing a stormwater management plan for the proposed urban areas. This assessment summarizes the findings of these and several other studies, and provides a context for moving forward with creek protection and restoration.

These surveys were commissioned by the Midcoast Watershed Council, using funds granted by GWEB. The intent of these surveys was to begin to develop a base line for monitoring trends in the distribution and abundance of juvenile Coho, Steelhead and Cutthroat in Midcoast watersheds. Adult Coho escapement for many of these basins has hovered near all time low levels for multiple brood cycles. These surveys intend to identify the core areas within these basins that, at low spawner densities, provide suitable spawning habitats. They also intend to identify areas important for juvenile salmonid rearing such that restoration activities can focus on recovering reaches that adult salmonids are returning to.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Clear and Foster Creek Watershed Assessment Abstract -- A watershed assessment was completed in the Clear and Foster Creek watersheds to evaluate existing conditions and make recommendations to protect or enhance watershed natural resources. Clear and Foster Creek are tributaries to the Clackamas River below any major dams on the system; consequently these tributaries are positioned favorably to contribute to recovery of important anadromous fish populations. Anadromous fish species in the Clackamas basin include spring and fall chinook, coho salmon, winter steelhead, summer steelhead (non-native), migratory cutthroat trout and lamprey. Clear and Foster Creeks are utilized by fall chinook, winter steelhead and coho salmon. The assessment generally followed the framework described in the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board’s Watershed Assessment Manual (WPN, 1999). The assessment focused on the following components: Channel habitat classification and modification; hydrology and water use; riparian/wetlands; sediment sources; water quality; fisheries; and wildlife and upland vegetation. Generally the approach builds on existing information, and enhances this information with aerial photo interpretation and limited field checking. Additional fieldwork was used to verify channel habitat types and to characterize fish habitat condition. GIS was used as a critical assessment tool and method of displaying results.

Generally the approach builds on existing information, and enhances this information with aerial photo interpretation and limited field checking. Additional fieldwork was used to verify channel habitat types and to characterize fish habitat condition. GIS was used as a critical assessment tool and method of displaying results. Close

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Phillips Creek Watershed Assessment Abstract -- Watershed Assessments for the Grande Ronde River Subwatersheds are being prepared for the Grande Ronde Model Watershed Program. This Watershed Assessment addresses the Phillips Creek Watershed located near Elgin, Oregon. Phillips Creek is a relatively small watershed (4th order HUC – Hydrologic Unit Classification) containing about 33 square miles or slightly over 24,000 acres. Phillips Creek empties into the Grande Ronde River in Elgin. It is an intermittent stream in some reaches, but water flows year around in other reaches. In this Assessment the main emphasis is on the nonfederal lands. The USDA Forest Service – Umatilla National Forest recently completed a watershed assessment on the National Forest area that includes Phillips, Cabin, Gordon and Dry Creeks. For more complete information on watershed condition on federal lands, please refer to the Umatilla National Forest’s Phillips-Gordon Ecosystem Analysis (PGEA). This assessment will describe the Phillips Creek watershed and help to identify the stream processes and features that are working well, and those that are not. Information that is already available from state and federal agencies as well as from private sources (including people that live in the area) will be used. Several public meetings were held to obtain information and insights from people that live in the area. The assessment will identify human’s positive and negative influences to the immediate stream environment. The assessment should provide enough information to develop project plans and monitoring plans that will help to protect and improve water quality and fish habitat in Phillips Creek and its tributaries. This assessment includes a description of Phillips Creek Watershed, historical conditions assessment, channel habitat type classification, hydrology and water use, riparian assessment, wetlands assessment, sediment sources assessment, channel modification assessment, water quality assessment, water rights assessment, fish and fish habitat assessment, upland conditions assessment – Forest, upland conditions assessment – Range, developed area assessment, noxious weeds assessment, and a watershed condition evaluation.

These summaries outline aquatic and terrestrial restoration priorities and geographic focus areas within three major themes: 1) Restoration of habitat connectivity (e.g., fish passage and wildlife corridors); 2) Restoration of key watershed processes and functions (e.g., large wood delivery, water flows, sediment transport, and disturbance regimes); and 3) Restoration of aquatic, riparian, wetland, and upland habitats, including addressing habitats for ESA-listed species and areas that impact water quality. Watersheds included: Scappoose Bay, Columbia Slough, Lower Willamette, Johnson, Tryon, Fanno Creeks, Clackamas, Tualatin, Yamhill & Chehalem, Molalla, Pudding, Glenn-Gibson, Greater Salem-Keizer Area, Rickreall, Santiam, Luckiamute, Calapooia, Mary's, Long Tom, McKenzie, Coast Fork Willamette, Middle Fork Willamette, Middle & Upper Willamette.

With tremendous private cooperation, fish passage information was gathered for all but a handful of artificial barriers known in the Clear and Foster Creek basins during the course of this project. A total of 223 potential artificial barriers were evaluated. In the Clear and Foster Creek Basin there are a total of 159 barriers on fish bearing streams. Of these 159 crossings: 81 had verified fish passage blockage to some degree based on methods described in this report. Of these 81 crossings, 27 had complete blockages and 54 had partial blockages. Of the 81 blockages, 34 are on streams that are thought to have anandromous fish species use. We determined the cost to fix the 81 potential blockages to fish passage. The proposed fixes include bridges, open bottom culverts and slabs, and closed bottom culverts that are embedded to imitate natural streambed conditions. We prioritized crossings using a formula developed specifically for the Clear and Foster basin.

The fish sampling done in 1998 was used to provide an estuary-wide overview of the fish species composition and relative abundance during the mid-summer period and to test sampling gear and sampling strategies for development of a long-term monitoring program. The sampling conducted in 1999 built upon the information gained in 1998 and provided an initial test of a sampling design for long-term monitoring of the Bay's fish community. Sampling of the fish community in 1998 was conducted using beach seine, bottom trawl, fyke net and round-haul net. During 1999, initial testing of the proposed long-term monitoring program was conducted using beach seine, trawl and fyke nets. A total of 40 fish species were collected during this study whereas a total of 59 species were captured during ODFW's surveys during the mid- 1970s. Of the 40 species captured in this study, all but four were present in the mid- 1970s. Eight of the ten most abundant species present in the mid-1970s were among the ten most abundant species captured in this study. All but one of the abundant species in the beach seine catch were found throughout the estuary. All five species of anadromous salmonids known to occur in the Tillamook Bay watershed were collected during this study. However, only juvenile chum and chinook salmon were caught in any abundance. The most abundant non-salmonid species in the estuary were euryhaline marine species.

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.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Little Deschutes Subbasin Watershed Assessment Abstract -- Many of the impacts to fish and wildlife habitat and water quality in the Little Deschutes River Subbasin are concentrated in the areas of housing, roads, and other human development. Most of the human population in the subbasin is concentrated around the community centers of La Pine, Gilchrist, Crescent, and Crescent Lake. There is significant dispersed development along the lower reaches of the Little Deschutes River between the communities of Sunriver and La Pine -an area characterized by gentle topography and depressions with forested wetlands, marshes and shallow lakes. Streams in this area, as illustrated by the Little Deschutes River , are low gradient and originate in the high elevation areas in the southwest portion of the watershed where there is higher precipitation. This ownership pattern has significant implications for natural resource management, as lower gradient floodplain areas tend to provide important wetland, fish, and wildlife habitat. Key Findings Fuel Loading: Having homes safe from wildfires is a concern for many residents. Fire suppression has increased the amount of dry wood in the area, creating a ready source for major wildfires. Riparian Areas and Wetlands: Loss of wetland and riparian areas , especially in the lower areas along the Little Deschutes River , has affected a number of resources. Water quality has been affected by the reduced wetlands that act as filters of nitrogen; the loss of streamside trees and other vegetation reduces shade that helps to cool water temperatures. Finally, loss ofwetlands and riparian vegetation has reduced important fish and wildlife habitats. Wildlife: The growth and development have altered wildlife habitats. Loss of wetlands, streamside vegetation, and other changes in the watershed have reduced important wildlife habitat. Roads and development have impacted migrating mule deer, increasing collisions between deer and cars and altering their migration pathways. Fish: There has been a significant loss of native trout and an increase in introduced brook and brown trout in the Little Deschutes River and tributaries. Loss of native trout is from competition with introduced species and changes in aquatic habitat and water temperatures. Water Quality: A major concern about the water in the river is unusually high temperatures in the summer and the abnormal growth of algae. Other studies indicated that there are problems with groundwater loading ofnitrogen. The high water table (with associated wetlands), and porous pumice soils contributes to increased nitrates, a by-product of septic systems and an indicator of human pathogens.

This non-linear combination of distributaries and an alluvial fan of spring fed creeks is treated by various state agencies and the local community as either a water conveyance network or natural stream, depending on the location being considered, or the time of year. This conundrum needs to be described and evaluated so that a coordinated approach can be developed and implemented to improve these unusual streams and the farms, fish, and wildlife that depend on them. This assessment consolidates information on the Little Walla Walla River and springs area with regards to historic and current flows, water use, land use, fish presence, habitat conditions, fish passage barriers, and water quality. This can then be utilized in developing a plan that aim to improve and preserve the environmental and economic health of this stream network, and to better define management and enhancement options. An Initial Action Plan of Goals and Actions is put forward as a discussion framework. Some of these actions are just conceptual, others are ongoing, but can be expanded to a greater scale.

OCN coho salmon consist of an aggregate of wild coho salmon populations that originate from Oregon coastal river basins south of the Columbia River and north of Cape Blanco. OCN spawning escapement estimates are an integral component of the management of salmon fisheries in the ocean. Escapement estimates are also used to assess progress towards meeting goals addressed in Oregon's Coho Salmon Plan (ODFW 1982), the Salmon Framework Plan of the Pacific Fisheries Management Council (PFMC 1984), the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) Wild Fish Policy, the Oregon Salmon Restoration Plan (Oregon 1997) and various management plans for coastal basins. During 1985-86, the Oregon State University Department of Statistics was contracted by ODFW to review the method used to estimate OCN spawning escapement and to recommend procedures for improving the methodology (Ganio et al.1986). Five sources of bias were identified in the methodology: (1) methods of survey site selection, (2) estimates of the life span of fish in survey sites, (3) counting of nonspawning fish in survey sites, (4) under-counting of fish in survey sites, and (5)estimates of total miles of spawning habitat. The authors concluded that the method of survey site selection was probably the most serious source of bias because of evidence that survey sites were predominantly located in "better than average" spawning habitat. To improve the methodology used to estimate OCN escapement, the authors proposed a sampling plan designed to reduce survey site selection bias and to provide an estimate of the precision of the escapement estimate. The recommended sampling plan incorporated a stratified random sampling (SRS) scheme, where, within geographic 2 sampling units, survey sites are randomly selected from the estimated available miles of coho salmon spawning habitat. Although the SRS survey procedure proposed by Ganio et al. (1986) was a means of vastly improving OCN escapement estimates, more information was needed before this procedure could be adopted. Procedures needed to be developed for selecting and surveying random survey sites (Ganio et al. 1986). The feasibility of incorporating additional levels of stratification to improve the efficiency of the sampling program and account for additional escapement resulting from hatchery fish was needed. More accurate estimates of the available spawning habitat for coho salmon in coastal watersheds were necessary for the development of an effective SRS scheme and ultimately, as a means of improving absolute escapement estimates. Finally, the relationship between spawning densities estimated from the standard coho salmon survey program and spawning densities estimated from a SRS program needed to be determined.

To protect this population, we need to more fully understand the movement and habitat use of bull trout in the South Fork McKenzie watershed, and to develop an emergency action plan should environmental conditions become detrimental to the overall health of the population. Recommendations from this project will be made to the Environmental Coordination Committee in the event that actions to protect bull trout become necessary.

This program functions as the landscape link in the overall Oregon Plan monitoring program. Field work for the habitat monitoring program began in 1998 with coordinated site visitations conducted with the two other Oregon Plan monitoring programs; juvenile rearing survey and adult salmon spawning survey programs. The Oregon Plan Habitat Survey program is nested within the Aquatic Inventories Project (AIP). The AIP was begun by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) in 1990 and has expanded to include a wide variety of inventory, modeling and monitoring efforts. The central purpose of these diverse projects is the inventory of physical aspects of the environment that are important for aquatic life and the habitat needs of salmonids and other fishes during the freshwater stages of their life history. Some of the significant ongoing or recently completed projects that are part of the AIP are: Basinwide cesus surveys, Oregon plan Habitat surveys, Restoration Project Monitoring, Salmonid Habitat and Diversity Watersheds Project, Fish Inventories, Great Basin Redband Trout, Oregon Chub Status and Recovery Project, Salmon River Estuary, and Columbia River Estuary Project.

This plan encompasses the monitoring period of January 2000 to June 2008, and is a continuation of monitoring activities that were started in the fall of 1995 on the North Coast and continued into the Mid-coast in 1996 and 1997. Much of this plan is a compilation of the original North Coast and Mid-Coast monitoring plans (Hodgson 1996, Thom and Moore 1995). Modifications have been made to better define the monitoring activities, increase efficiency, and strengthen the scientific credibility of the project. Four main questions will be answered as a result of the monitoring activities outlined in this plan. They are: 1)How much stream restoration work has been completed? 2)Is the stream restoration work that is completed leading to improved habitat conditions for salmonids in the treated stream reaches? 3)What fish are utilizing the restored habitats? 4)What are the trends in juvenile abundance in the restored stream reaches?

The goal of these surveys is to document the status and trends of stream conditions that exist in coastal drainages of western Oregon. To better interpret landscape patterns in aquatic habitat character, the Aquatic Inventories Project has sought to improve the definition of a set of reference conditions from which to compare habitat survey sites. Over the past three years, the set of reference conditions used in analyses was selected from basin-wide habitat surveys conducted between 1992 and 1997. These conditions did not adequately represent the variety of stream sizes, geologic types, or ecoregions present in all coastal streams. The Aquatic Inventories Project selected a set of new reference survey locations that better represent reference conditions in coastal streams for a variety of ecoregions, geologic types, and basins. The reference sites selected for the year 2000 represented watershed areas with low impact from human activities such as roads, development, and forest management. Ideally, areas would have been selected that were completely free from human disturbance, but we concluded it was more important to represent a larger geographic range of conditions across the landscape.
