  • Chapter 1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Multnomah County CWPP 1 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION Fires are a natural part of the forest ecosystem in Multnomah County, Oregon. In fact, they have shaped the forests valued by Multnomah County residents and visitors. However, decades of forest management, fire suppression and climate change have significantly altered forest composition and structure. The result is an increase in the wildfire hazard as forest vegetation has accumulated to create a more closed, tighter forest environment that tends to burn more intensely than in the past. Rising temperatures and changes to precipitation patters result in drought conditions, making forests more susceptible to ignitions. The exposure to wildfire hazards is also increasing, as recent population growth has spurred more residential development close to the forests in what is referred to as the wildland urban interface (WUI). As development encroaches upon forests with altered fire regimes that are more conducive to larger, more intense fires, the risk to life, property, and natural resources continues to escalate. The Multnomah County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (MCWPP) provides direction and helps facilitate a wildfire-based approach to managing our forestlands and the human development in the interface. In August, 2010, the Wildfire Planning Steering Committee was established to provide oversight and guidance for the development of the MCWPP. Membership included representation from the county’s Fire Defense Board and the public agencies responsible for natural resource management and fire protection. The Steering Committee actually began as the “Wildfire Technical Committee, “ established by Portland City Council in 2009 to implement the Action Plan of the City’s Wildfire Readiness Assessment: Gap Analysis Report (2009) 1 and manage future wildfire mitigation and fuels reduction projects associated with the Portland Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan.

  • 4. Lower Oregon Columbia Gorge Tributaries Watershed Assessment
    4. Lower Oregon Columbia Gorge Tributaries Watershed Assessment 4.1 Subbasin Overview General Description Location and Size The Lower Oregon Columbia Gorge Tributaries Watershed consists of the 19 small Columbia River tributaries located between Bonneville Dam and the Hood River. Its major streams are Herman and Eagle creeks. The watershed is located in Hood River County, except for a small part of the Eagle Creek drainage, and includes the City of Cascade Locks and part of the City of Hood River. The watershed covers a drainage area of 63,714 acres or 99.6 square miles. Geology Volcanic lava flows, glaciers, and flooding were the key forces forming the Columbia Gorge landscape of basalt cliffs, waterfalls, talus slopes and ridges. Land elevations rise rapidly from 72 feet above sea level to approximately 5,000 feet. Mt. Defiance is the highest peak at 4,960 feet. Landslides are the dominant erosional process in recent history (USFS, 1998). Debris torrents and ice and snow avalanches are not uncommon in the winter months. Alluvial fan deposits at the mouths of the steeper, more constricted creeks suggest the frequent routing of debris torrents down these channels. The lower mile or so of creeks have gradients of about 5 percent, rising steeply at middle elevations, with lower gradient channels in glaciated headwater valleys. Climate and Weather The watershed lies in the transition zone between the wet marine climate to the west and the dry continental climate to the east. Precipitation amounts vary dramatically from east to west and with elevation, ranging from 40 to 125 to inches annually.

  • A Lasting Legacy: the Lewis And
    WashingtonHistory.org A LASTING LEGACY The Lewis and Clark Place Names of the Pacific Northwest—Part II By Allen "Doc" Wesselius COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2001: Vol. 15, No. 2 This is the second in a four-part series discussing the history of the Lewis and Clark expedition and the explorers' efforts to identify, for posterity, elements of the Northwest landscape that they encountered on their journey. Columbia River "The Great River of the West" was on the maps that Lewis and Clark brought with them but the cartographic lore of its upper reach influenced William Clark when he identified the supposed upper fork as "Tarcouche Tesse." British explorer Alexander Mackenzie had called the northern reach of the river "Tacoutche Tesse" in his 1793 journals and map. When the explorers realized they had reached the Columbia River on October 16, 1805, they also discerned that they would not discover the source of the drainage, important as that was for establishing the future sovereignty of the region. After Lewis & Clark determined that there was no short portage route between the Missouri and Columbia rivers, the myth of a Northwest Passage evaporated. The priority for the expedition now was to achieve the primary goal of its mission by reaching the mouth of the Columbia River. American rights of discovery to the Columbia were based on Robert Gray's crossing of the bar in 1792 at the river's discharge into the Pacific. He explored the waterway's western bay and named it "Columbia's River" after his ship, Columbia Rediviva.
