Hood (OR HWY 35) Corridor. The Hood River-Mt. Hood Corridor Plan is a long-range (20-year) program for managing all transportation modes within the Oregon Highway 35 corridor from the 1-84 junction to the US 26 junction (see Corridor Map). The first phase of that process has resulted in the attached Interim Com'dor Stvategy. The Interim Corridor Strategy is a critical element of the Hood River- Mt. Hood Corridor Plan. The Corridor Strategy will guide development of the Corridor Plan and Refinement Plans for specific areas and issues within the corridor. Simultaneous with preparation of the Corridor Plan, Transportation System Plans (TSPs) are being prepared for the cities of Hood River and Cascade Locks and for Hood River County. ODOT is contributing staff and financial resources to these efforts, both to ensure coordination between the TSPs and the Corridor Plan and to avoid duplication of efforts, e.g.

Too, we hope that all agencies that are interested in retaining existing water access as well as providing additional facilities, whether they be municipal, county, or state will all join in a cooperative effort to carry out this plan in an orderly manner. It is probable that Land and Water Conservation Funds will be available on a 50- 50 matching basis. In order to acquire these funds, it will be necessary to apply through the Oregon State Highway Department. The Pudding River Basin, located in the center of the Willamette Valley, is within close proximity to the large population centers of the Willamette Valley. Numerous highways and county roads either cross or follow the major streams within the basin making them quite accessible by vehicle.

  • ADDENDUM Work Completed for Compliance with the Biological
    ADDENDUM Work Completed for Compliance With the Biological Opinion for Hatchery Programs in the Willamette Basin, USACE funding: 2002-03 J. Firman, M. Buckman Task Order: NWP-OP-FH-02-01 October 2003 Introduction The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) has listed Spring Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and Winter Steelhead (O. mykiss) in the Upper Willamette River Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA; 64 FRN 14308; 64 FRN 14517). Concomitant with this listing, any actions taken or funded by a federal agency must be evaluated to assess whether these actions are likely to jeopardize the continued existence of threatened and endangered species, or result in the destruction or impairment of critical habitat. Several fish hatcheries operate within the ESU and may impact wild populations of listed species. Although all of the artificial propagation programs that potentially affect listed salmonids in the Upper Willamette River ESUs are operated by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), 90% of the funding for these operations comes from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). Possible risks of artificial propagation programs have been well documented. Hazards include disease transfer, competition for food and spawning sites, increased predation, increased incidental mortality from harvest, loss of genetic variability, genetic drift, and domestication (Steward and Bjornn 1990; Hard et al. 1992; Cuenco et al. 1993; Busack and Currens 1995; NRC 1996; and Waples 1999). Hatcheries can also play a positive role for wild salmonids by bolstering populations, especially those on the verge of extirpation, providing a genetic reserve in the case of extirpation, and providing opportunities for nutrient enrichment of streams (Steward and Bjornn 1990; Cuenco et al.

INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS TO SEPTEMBER 30,1955 PART 14. PACIFIC SLOPE BASINS IN OREGON AND LOWER COLUMBIA RIVER BASIN By E. G. Bailey EXPLANATION This index lists the streamflow and reservoir stations in the Pacific slope basins in Oregon and lower Columbia River basin for which records have been or are to be published in reports of the Geological Survey for periods prior to September 30, 1955. Periods of record for the same station published by other agencies are listed only when they contain more detailed information or are for periods not reported in publications of the Geological Survey. The stations are listed in the downstream order first adopted for use in the 1951 series of water-supply papers on surface-water supply of the United States. Starting at the headwater of each stream all stations are listed in a downstream direction. Tributary streams are indicated by indention and are inserted between main-stem stations in the order in which they enter the main stream. To indicate the rank of any tributary on which a record is available and the stream to which it is immediately tributary, each indention in the listing of stations represents one rank.

Please check website for up-to-date information or for changes. Maps are illustrative in nature and should be used for reference only. Abiqua Falls, OR Adventure Description by Tyson Gillard | 05.29.13 Hidden on private land owned by the Mount Angel Abbey, Abiqua Falls is arguably one of Oregon's most spectacular waterfalls. The 92-foot waterfall is perfectly framed by an enormous basalt amphitheater adorned with lichens, mosses and various ferns, but what makes the hike to the classic cascade so special is that it is so difficult to find, making the end destination that much more rewarding. As you venture past Scotts Mills, be sure to watch your odometer as none of the forest roads off of Crooked Finger Road are marked. Passing unfortunately large swaths of clear- cut forest you will eventually reach to the trailhead, which also isn't marked. See our driving directions for details. If you have the time, take one of the best waterfalls tours in the Pacific Northwest by visiting nearby Butte Creek Falls and the 10 falls within Silver Falls State Park. Getting there (from Salem): From Salem, take OR-213 N toward Molalla/Silverton Tyson Gillard | 05.29.13 Once in Silverton, turn east (left) onto W Main St Take the second left onto N 1st St, and then the first right onto OR-213/Oak St After 4.9 miles turn right onto Mt Angel/Scotts Mills Rd Highlights After 2.7 miles turn right onto Crooked Finger Rd After 10.8 miles (watch your odometer), turn right onto DIFFICULTY: Easy unmarked forest road (300 yards beyond the turn-off a TRAILHEAD ELEV.: 1,440 ft (439 m) gravel pit will be on your right) NET ELEV.

  • Chapter 8: Roadway System Needs and Recommended Improvements
    12/21/2005 CHAPTER 8 - ROADWAY SYSTEM NEEDS AND RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS CHAPTER 8: ROADWAY SYSTEM NEEDS AND RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS The County’s rural roadway system is the primary component of the regional transportation system and will continue to serve this function over the next 20 years. To continue in this capacity, a number of enhancements are needed for the safety and mobility of the system. This chapter describes the existing and future needs of the Marion County rural roadway system and the improvements recommended to address those needs. Existing needs include those where projects have already been identified but not completed due to a lack of resources, where current roadway safety or operation standards are not met, and where other issues affect the safety or operation of a County facility. Future needs are defined as expected deficiencies in capacity or safety that do not warrant immediate attention, but are anticipated to need to be addressed in the next 20 years to preserve mobility and safety. This chapter also includes transportation improvements that the planning team has identified are necessary to be completed in the next 20 years to maintain the safety and efficiency of the transportation system at an acceptable level. 8.1 CRITERIA FOR IDENTIFICATION OF EXISTING NEEDS Necessary transportation improvements have been identified through a number of sources. One is the 1998 RTSP, which included an in-depth analysis to identify existing needs and deficiencies. It used a list of issues compiled by input from County staff, the Technical Advisory Committee, the Citizens Review Committee, and citizens attending the public open houses.
