  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Slate Creek Watershed Assessment Abstract -- The analysis was jointly conducted by the Applegate River Watershed Council (ARWC), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and the Siskiyou National Forest. Accordingly, the assessment method was designed to fulfill obligations for the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and the Federal Guide to Watershed Analysis. Issues and key questions, developed by the federal agencies, ARWC, and landowners guide the content of this analysis. Key issues focus the assessment on the principle concerns of the Slate Creek Watershed. This watershed assessment is grouped into three main categories: Cultural and Social environment, Terrestrial environment, and the Aquatic environment. The cultural and social environment examines the historic and current human uses in the watershed. The terrestrial environment focuses on vegetation patterns, wildlife habitat and fire/fuel conditions. Fish habitat conditions, water quality and riparian zone function are discussed in the aquatic environment.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: MidCoast A - Rapid Bio-assessment 1998 Midcoast Abstract -- Snorkel surveys were conducted in five midcoast watersheds that included the Yachats, Alsea, Yaquina, Siletz, and Salmon Rivers. 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: Limiting Factors Assessment and Restoration Plan for Steer Creek Tributary of Rock Cr Siletz Abstract -- This document provides watershed restoration actions proposed to enhance the Coho Salmon population within the Steer Cr. 6th field in Lincoln County, Oregon. This stream is a 4th order contributor to Rock Creek, which joins the Siletz River near Logsden, Oregon. The stream has been prioritized for restoration by the Midcoast Watershed Council because it appears to provide the best remaining spawning and rearing potential within the Rock Cr. basin. The report contains information on the physical setting, current status of Coho, resources used in developing the plan, general questions that guided the assessment, pre-survey mapping/location of habitat subdivisions, secondary branch habitats, critical contributing areas, lowland area, summer and winter habitat assessment, lake habitat, location of other resources, juvenile Coho, evaluation of habitat quality and Coho production, Field Assessment, location of potential migration barriers, potential sites for restoration work, morphology, rank of restoration efforts, riparian corridor, and core area.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Little Walla Walla River Assessment and Initial Action Plan (2010) Abstract -- The Little Walla Walla River and Spring Branch system is an anomaly when compared to most river systems. 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.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: A Blueprint for Developing a Pacific Northwest Coastal Salmonid Restoration Plan and Interim Actions in Oregon Abstract -- Numerous populations of salmon, steelhead, and trout in coastal rivers of California, Oregon, and Washington are at depressed levels and could possibly be listed under the federal Endangered Species Act, adding to the salmon already listed in the Columbia and Sacramento rivers. West coast states need federal support to restore and sustain coastal salmonids. A change in national policy guidance to federal agencies is needed so that they will elevate the priority of protection and restoration of these fish, and federal funding is needed for restoration activities. In addition, the individual states need to develop and implement a program of restoration activities specific to the needs of their salmonid populations. The following document, built on ideas discussed at the Governor's Coastal Salmonid Restoration Initiative, describes a restoration planning and implementation process that incorporates both multi-state and Federal cooperation, individual state initiative, and public involvement (Fig. 1). This document proposes both technical and political approaches necessary to begin the process of restoring coastal salmonid populations to more desirable levels. This process should be incorporated into the upcoming Timber Summit.

OPRD held an advisory committee meeting and public meetings in February and July 2009. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed plan progress at their July and September 2009 meetings. Following Commission approval, the plan will move to Grant County for their comments and for approval of a land use application for development of the plan facility concepts.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: McKenzie Subbasin Fish Management Plan 1988 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. The McKenzie Subbasin Fish Management Plan (hereafter referred to as the McKenzie Plan) was developed to direct management of the fish resources of the McKenzie subbasin. The scope of the plan includes the mainstem McKenzie River, its tributaries, and Leaburg pool. Separate mini-plans will be written for reservoirs and lakes in the subbasin. ODFW is committed to the planning process as an integral part of all current and future management by the agency. The McKenzie Plan is one element of the Department's planning efforts. Species plans for coho, steelhead, trout and warmwater game fish have been adopted, and a management plan for chinook salmon is being prepared. These statewide plans guide the development of more localized plans for individual river basins and subbasins. Likewise the Willamette Basin Fish Management Plan (ODFW 1988) provides general guidance for management of the McKenzie and other subbasins within the Willamette Basin.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: The Comprehensive Plan for Production and Management of Oregon's Anadromous Salmon and Trout Part IIll: The Steelhead Plan Abstract -- Management of Oregon's diverse steelhead resource is directed by federal court mandates (US vs. Oregon), co-management with the Treaty Tribes (Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon, Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, Nez Perce Tribe and Yakama Indian Nation), legislation, Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission policy, agreements between ODFW and other agencies, and administrative direction from ODFW. The Steelhead Plan contains policies, goals, objectives, strategies and actions that guide the management of steelhead statewide. The plan recognizes the biological diversity among steelhead populations and the varying issues and challenges facing steelhead management throughout Oregon, and therefore allows basin plans to tailor management to fit specific circumstances.
