Timing of In-Water Work to Protect Fish and Wildlife Resources
OREGON GUIDELINES FOR TIMING OF IN-WATER WORK TO PROTECT FISH AND WILDLIFE RESOURCES June, 2008 Purpose of Guidelines - The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, (ODFW), “The guidelines are to assist under its authority to manage Oregon’s fish and wildlife resources has updated the following guidelines for timing of in-water work. The guidelines are to assist the the public in minimizing public in minimizing potential impacts to important fish, wildlife and habitat potential impacts...”. resources. Developing the Guidelines - The guidelines are based on ODFW district fish “The guidelines are based biologists’ recommendations. Primary considerations were given to important fish species including anadromous and other game fish and threatened, endangered, or on ODFW district fish sensitive species (coded list of species included in the guidelines). Time periods were biologists’ established to avoid the vulnerable life stages of these fish including migration, recommendations”. spawning and rearing. The preferred work period applies to the listed streams, unlisted upstream tributaries, and associated reservoirs and lakes. Using the Guidelines - These guidelines provide the public a way of planning in-water “These guidelines provide work during periods of time that would have the least impact on important fish, wildlife, and habitat resources. ODFW will use the guidelines as a basis for the public a way of planning commenting on planning and regulatory processes. There are some circumstances where in-water work during it may be appropriate to perform in-water work outside of the preferred work period periods of time that would indicated in the guidelines. ODFW, on a project by project basis, may consider variations in climate, location, and category of work that would allow more specific have the least impact on in-water work timing recommendations. -
1 Oregon Plan Assessment- Hydropower Program
Part 4(C) ODFW (8) Hydro Final Report May 6, 2005 OREGON PLAN ASSESSMENT- HYDROPOWER PROGRAM OREGON COAST COHO SALMON ESU Perspective The impacts to coho salmon populations from hydroelectric projects are variable among stream basins or within evolutionarily significant units (ESU). Hydropower development within the Oregon Coastal Coho ESU has not been as extensive as within other ESU’s, and impacts are not a significant issue within this ESU, except in the Umpqua River Basin where two major hydroelectric projects have been constructed. These are PacifiCorp’s North Umpqua project (FERC 1927) and Douglas County’s Galesville project (FERC 7161). Both projects were constructed without fish passage facilities and prevent anadromous fish, including coho salmon, from accessing approximately 8 miles of historical habitat in the upper North Umpqua River (North Umpqua project) and 28 miles in Cow Creek (Galesville project), a tributary to the South Umpqua. There are five other small non-FERC licensed hydroelectric projects within this ESU which have hydroelectric licenses authorized by the Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD). All are outside of coho spawning, rearing and migration corridors. ESU Perspective Conclusion Generally, within the majority of the ESU, impacts from hydroelectric projects are insignificant or non-existent. Specifically, within the Umpqua basin, Oregon Coastal coho have been prevented from reaching 36 miles of spawning and rearing habitat by hydroelectric projects. Impacts to downstream reaches include; alteration of flows and interruption of natural sediment and large woody debris regimes. Mitigation measures have already been implemented and additional measures will be implemented as part of hydroelectric project relicensing and reauthorization. -
Geology and Mineral Resources of Douglas County
STATE OF OREGON DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND MINERAL INDUSTRIES 1069 State Office Building Portland, Oregon 97201 BU LLE TIN 75 GEOLOGY & MINERAL RESOURCES of DOUGLAS COUNTY, OREGON Le n Ra mp Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries The preparation of this report was financially aided by a grant from Doug I as County GOVERNING BOARD R. W. deWeese, Portland, Chairman William E. Miller, Bend Donald G. McGregor, Grants Pass STATE GEOLOGIST R. E. Corcoran FOREWORD Douglas County has a history of mining operations extending back for more than 100 years. During this long time interval there is recorded produc tion of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, mercury, and nickel, plus lesser amounts of other metalliferous ores. The only nickel mine in the United States, owned by The Hanna Mining Co., is located on Nickel Mountain, approxi mately 20 miles south of Roseburg. The mine and smelter have operated con tinuously since 1954 and provide year-round employment for more than 500 people. Sand and gravel production keeps pace with the local construction needs. It is estimated that the total value of all raw minerals produced in Douglas County during 1972 will exceed $10, 000, 000 . This bulletin is the first in a series of reports to be published by the Department that will describe the general geology of each county in the State and provide basic information on mineral resources. It is particularly fitting that the first of the series should be Douglas County since it is one of the min eral leaders in the state and appears to have considerable potential for new discoveries during the coming years. -

GENERAL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION 1.1) Name of hatchery or program. Rock Creek Hatchery, Umpqua River Basin Coho Salmon Program (stock-18) in South Umpqua River and Cow Creek. 1.2) Species and population (or stock) under propagation, and ESA status. Umpqua basin wild Coho Salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch are part of the Oregon Coast Coho Evolutionary Significant Unit (ESU), which was listed as a threatened species under the federal ESA on August 10, 1998 (Federal Register Notice 1998). It was subsequently de-listed in 2005 and was relisted effective May 12, 2008 (Federal Register 73FR7816, Oregon Coastal Coho ESU, February 11, 2008). The listing includes all naturally produced Coho Salmon from Cape Blanco north to the Columbia River. Of particular interest for this HGMP is the listing of the Cow Creek stock. The stock is incorrectly identified in the Federal Register Final Species Determination as stock-37 (page 7824), but the text identifies the stock as the Cow Creek stock. Thus in the Umpqua basin, the Coho Salmon stock-18 is an ESA-listed. The listing was reviewed again in 2011 and the threatened listing was upheld. -

38 Chapter III. Human Use and Occupation There Is Very Little
38 Chapter III. Human Use and Occupation There is very little history or other information available about the people who lived in the study area 200 years ago. The area that became coastal Douglas County enters the historical record in the 1700s; particularly during 1788 and thereafter, with the sea voyages of Captain Robert Gray and others, trading furs, hides, and other products from California (“Mexico”), the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, Canada (“New Caledonia”), and Hawaii, with China, the eastern United States, England, and Spain (Carey1971). Beginning in 1826, Hudson’s Bay Company fur trader Alexander McLeod, Scottish botanist David Douglas, and others began keeping journals and sending correspondence of their explorations throughout the interior western parts of Douglas County. In the 1830s, beaver trappers, cattlemen, and others following the “California Trail” from the Columbia River to the Sacramento Valley also began keeping journals, filing reports, and sending correspondence that added to the history of western Oregon. In 1841, a party of the US-funded Wilkes Expedition, under the leadership of George Emmons, precisely mapped, illustrated, and described their journey along the California Trail (the general route of today’s Interstate 5), traveling from north to south. In 1846, pioneers following the Applegate Trail (the “South Road” of the Oregon Trail) kept records and documented memories of their south to north travels along the same route. Douglas County visitors and immigrants in the early 1850s -- most notably George Riddle, of Cow Creek Valley (Riddle 1993) -- and participants in the “Rogue River Indian Wars” of that time (Zybach 2007) also kept records; including those kept by federal and territorial government agencies.
