  • Drainage Basin Morphology in the Central Coast Range of Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF WENDY ADAMS NIEM for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in GEOGRAPHY presented on July 21, 1976 Title: DRAINAGE BASIN MORPHOLOGY IN THE CENTRAL COAST RANGE OF OREGON Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy Dr. James F. Lahey / The four major streams of the central Coast Range of Oregon are: the westward-flowing Siletz and Yaquina Rivers and the eastward-flowing Luckiamute and Marys Rivers. These fifth- and sixth-order streams conform to the laws of drain- age composition of R. E. Horton. The drainage densities and texture ratios calculated for these streams indicate coarse to medium texture compa- rable to basins in the Carboniferous sandstones of the Appalachian Plateau in Pennsylvania. Little variation in the values of these parameters occurs between basins on igneous rook and basins on sedimentary rock. The length of overland flow ranges from approximately i mile to i mile. Two thousand eight hundred twenty-five to 6,140 square feet are necessary to support one foot of channel in the central Coast Range. Maximum elevation in the area is 4,097 feet at Marys Peak which is the highest point in the Oregon Coast Range. The average elevation of summits in the thesis area is ap- proximately 1500 feet. The calculated relief ratios for the Siletz, Yaquina, Marys, and Luckiamute Rivers are compara- ble to relief ratios of streams on the Gulf and Atlantic coastal plains and on the Appalachian Piedmont. Coast Range streams respond quickly to increased rain- fall, and runoff is rapid. The Siletz has the largest an- nual discharge and the highest sustained discharge during the dry summer months.

In the alternative, petitioners formally request that NMFS list the North American green sturgeon as a threatened species under the ESA.

  • Introduction to Economic Study
    Ten Year Update on Lincoln County, Oregon's Economy prepared by: The Research Group, LLC prepared for: Lincoln County Board of Commissioners August 2014 SUMMARY Onno Husing, Director, Lincoln County Planning and Development Department Background The Research Group, LLC (TRG) prepared a report for the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners. The report contains results from a ten year check-in on recent economic and social indicators in Lincoln County, Oregon. The front cover of the report features a graph (see Display 1) that speaks volumes about Lincoln County's economy. The graph shows two trend lines and both lines are trending upwards over the last several years. One trend line represents "Covered Employment." The other line represents "Covered Wages." The income line is outpacing the upward movement of the employment line. This trend suggests Lincoln County has experienced a surge in family wage jobs in the last few years. Inside the report you will also Display 1 find a number of important "pie Lincoln County Annual Covered Employment charts" and "bar charts." Like a and Wages in 2003 to 2013 chest X-ray, these representations illustrate what's happening to the different sectors within Lincoln County's economy over time. The report tells us a compelling story. 1J:\boc\board\PIO\Media Releases\Archive - Media Releases 2014\Media Release - August 2014\Economic Study_2014\Introd Display 2 A Larger and More Resilient Coastal Counties Total Personal Income in 2003 and 2012 Economy First, before we go any further, let's glance at Lincoln County's total personal income in 2003 and 2012 (see Display 2).
