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.

  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.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Clear and Foster Creek Fish Passage Assessment and Prioritization Project Abstract -- The project was initiated by Clackamas River Basin Council (CRBC) to address the fact that the vast majority of information on barriers pertains only to public roads. Although public agencies have shown leadership and started to replace culverts (the County and ODFW and US Forest) they were unable to determine whether there were barriers just up stream on private roads or dams. In order to spend public dollars efficiently and to get a sense of biological and cost related priorities, a comprehensive approach, a watershed approach, that included the cooperation of willing private landowners and better information on natural barriers was needed to understand the real priorities for replacement. For this reason, the goal of the basin stakeholders working in partnership with the CRBC was to create a truly comprehensive assessment and prioritization of public and private barriers.

  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.

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 Council approached the land owner and obtained permission to seek fudning to replace the culvert. Two additional culverts on a side tributary, blocking 1/2 mile of additional habitat, and a partial barrier on Thompson Creek, were also also identified for removal. All culverts were slated for removal at one time by a single contractor in hopes of saving money. Final removal and construction of the culverts was completed on August 28, 2006. The landowner will maintain the culverts for 10 years, with periodic inspection by the Elk River Watershed Council. The Elk Creek Watershed Council will take photos of the projects for at least two years, and ODFW will conduct fish presence and spawning surveys to document fish use for two years.
