  • Coarse Woody Debris in Streams of the Drift Creek Basin, Oregon by Curt N. Veldhuisen a THESIS Oregon State University in Partia
    Coarse Woody Debris in Streams of the Drift Creek Basin, Oregon by Curt N. Veldhuisen A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Completed February 20, 1990 Commencement June 1990 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Curt N. Veldhuisenfor the degree of Master of Science in Forest Engineeringpresented on February 27, 1990. Title: Coarse Woody Debris in Streams of the Drift Creek Basin. Oregon Abstract Approved: Robert L. Beschta This study examined the occurrence ofcoarse woody debris (i.e., pieces greater than 0.15m in diameter and 2.0 m in length) in first- through fifth-order streams located within the Drift Creek Basin of the Oregon Coast Range. Nine "tributary reachest were surveyed to determine how three land management treatments (undisturbed, patch clearcut with buffer strip, and entirely clearcut) and/or geomorphologywere associated with CWD loadings or piece characteristics. An additional 45 km of third- to fifth-order channelswere surveyed to identify CWD distribution patternsover changing stream size. All surveys recorded channel characteristics and the dimensions and attributes ofeach CWD piece. Coarse woody debris loadings varied greatly (11 to 62 pieces/lOOm, 0.3 to 4.3 m3/100m2 of inchannelvolume) between the tributary reaches, but were not significantly (p > 0.10) related to harvest treatment. However, reaches associated with clearcut treatment containedless hardwood CWD and pieces were significantly shorter, and more decayed than in the other treatments. This suggested that little CWD recruitment had occurred in the 15 to 20 years since harvest. The undisturbed and buffer strip tributaries contained CWD that reflected continued recruitment of both hardwood and conifer trees.

  • No-Rise Certification for Georgia-Pacific Toledo Llc 15- and 30-Acre Ponds on the Yaquina River Toledo, Oregon
    ENGINEERING CERTIFICATION NO-RISE CERTIFICATION FOR GEORGIA-PACIFIC TOLEDO LLC 15- AND 30-ACRE PONDS ON THE YAQUINA RIVER TOLEDO, OREGON March 25, 2020 This is to certify that I am a duly qualified registered professional engineer licensed to practice in the State of Oregon. This is further to certify that the attached report supports the finding that the grading inside the 15-acre and 30-acre ponds of the Georgia-Pacific Toledo LLC facility on the south side of the Yaquina River in Toledo, Oregon as shown on plans titled “Stockpile Plan and Profile” (dwg no. 6166-18-0843-C-FIG-21 Revision C dated April 16, 2019), if constructed in substantial accordance with the horizontal and vertical alignments shown on the drawings, copies of which were provided to Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. (Wood), will not change the 1-percent-annual-chance (100-year) regulatory (base) flood elevations or flood conveyance on the Yaquina River at published or unpublished cross-sections in the vicinity of the proposed ponds. There are no mapped floodway or cross-sections in this reach of the Yaquina River, so no floodway would be affected by this project. The attached report dated March 20, 2020 supports this finding. This certification was prepared exclusively for Georgia-Pacific Toledo LLC (GP) by Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. (Wood). The quality of information, conclusions, and estimates contained herein is consistent with the level of effort involved in Wood services and based on: i) information available at the time of preparation, ii) data supplied by outside sources, and iii) the assumptions, conditions, and qualifications set forth in this report.
