ISSN 0458-7227 TSILTCOOS LAKE POST OFFICES by David A. Ramstead Tsiltcoos is an Indian name which has been shortened to Siltcoos by the uS. Board of Geographic names. Siltcoos Lake in Douglas and Lane Counties is a fresh body of water covering several square miles. Siltcoos River,several miles in length, connects it with the Pacific Ocean. Tsiltcoos is said to be the name of a local Indian chief or an Indian family name. Another version is that it means "plenty elk". Tsiltcoos Lake was originally called Ten Mile Lake by the early settlers. Siltcoos Lake was formed by sandbars and dunes drowning out the stream mouth from Postmaster's desk and post office of ADA. the sea. courtesy of Mrs. Millard Martin. Many settlers came to the area in the late 1880s and early 1890s to line change. The post office was in claim land under the National Stone their home, previously built by Fred and Timber Acts.

  • LANE COUNTY OREGON MULTI-JURISDICTION HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN Page | 46
    3. RISK ASSESSMENT 44 CFR Requirement §201.6(c) (2) [The plan shall include] A risk assessment that provides the factual basis for activities proposed in the strategy to reduce losses from identified hazards. Local risk assessments must provide sufficient information to enable the jurisdiction to identify and prioritize appropriate mitigation actions to reduce losses from identified hazards The purpose of risk assessment is to identify and describe hazards that affect Lane County and analyze potential losses for human life and material assets. Through better understanding of potential hazards and the degree of risk they pose, more successful mitigation strategies can be developed and implemented. This risk assessment follows the four-step process described in the FEMA publication 386-2, Understanding Your Risks: Identifying Hazards and Estimating Losses, listed as follows: Step 1: Identify Hazards Step 2: Profile Hazard Events Step 3: Inventory Assets Step 4: Estimate Losses This section is organized into three subsections that address the four steps of the risk assessment process. 3.1 Identifying Hazards. This subsection addresses Step 1 and lists the hazards considered during the planning process and those ultimately profiled in the plan. It also describes methods, definitions and data sources used for the hazard identification and profile process. 3.2 Hazard Profile. This subsection addresses Step 2 and presents a detailed outline for each identified hazard. Each hazard profile is addressed as a plan subsection and includes a general description, affected geographic area, and discussion of previous occurrences, probability of future occurrence, magnitude and severity and an assessment of overall vulnerability to each hazard.

  • On Reconciling Lake Classification with the Evolution of Four Oligotrophic Lakes in Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF DOUGLAS WILLIAM LARSON for the DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Name) (Degree) inFISHERIES presented on 7)_ (Major) (Date)1 Title: ON RECONCILING LAKE CLASSIFICATION WITH THE EVOLU- TION OF FOUR OLIOT Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy A John R. Donaldson Limnological data were collected from studies of four Oregon lakes that are classified as oligotrophic--Crater, Odell, Waldo, and Woahink.Phytoplankton primary production was estimated periodi- cally using a standard carbon-14 in situ method. Bioassay experi- ments were conducted to determine whether water samples, treated with various kinds and concentrations of inorganic nutrients, might stimulate carbon uptake by phytoplankton.Chlorophyll a measure- ments complemented production estimates made with carbon-14. In comparing the lakes, differences were noted concerning lake origin, watershed features, basin morphometry, surface elevation, optical and thermal properties, and water chemistry. More notable, however, was the significant difference in phytoplankton primary production and biomass among the four lakes.During July and August, 1969, productivity averaged 253. 1 (Crater), 1533. 2 (Odell), 35.5 (Waldo), and 301. 1 (Woahink)mgC/m2dar.For the same period, concentrations of chlorophyll a averaged 34. 4 (Crater), 99. 03 (Odell), 4. 7 (Waldo), and 24. 7 (Woahink)mg/rn2.This resulted from the dif- ferent uses each lake received.It is suggested that, on the basis of productivity, lakes are unique environments and are evolving at dif- ferent rates in response to natural and artificial (cultural use) enrich- ment. The need for an adaptable classification system that would take into account the continuous process of lake evolution was emphasized.

  • Chemical Control of Elodea Densa Planch. and Other Submersed Aquatic Plants As Influenced by Several Environmental Factors
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF JOHN WILLIAM MACKENZIE for the DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Name) (Degree) in FARM CROPS presented on 5-j/q70 (Major) (Date-) Title: CHEMICAL CONTROL OF ELODEA DENSA PLANCH. AND OTHER SUBMERSED AQUATIC PLANTS AS INFLUENCED BY SEVERAL ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy W. R. Furtick Elodea densa Planch. was exposed to diquat (6, 7 dihydrodipyri- [do1,2-a:2',11-c]pyrazinediium dibromide), alone and in combina- tion with disodium endothall (disodium salt of 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1] heptane-2, 3-dicarboxyclic acid), and copper sulfate pentahydrate. Studies were conducted in coastal lakes of Oregon infested with E. densa.Dichlobenil (2, 6 dichlorobenzonitrile) was applied following diquat treatments in an attempt to extend length of the control period. Plant samples were collected from trials in Siltcoos Lake for diquat analysis.Laboratory studies were conducted to determine the effects of water temperature, exposure time, light quality, and time of appli- cation on the activity of diquat and diquat combinations against E. densa.Weights of stem, length of stem, and visual control evalua- tions were used to measure effectiveness of herbicide application. In field trials, effective seasonal control of E. densa was achieved by application of 0.25 ppmw diquat.Addition of 0.25 ppmw endothall or 0.5 ppmw copper sulfate pentahydrate did not enhance the activity of the 0.25 ppmw rate of diquat.The optimum elodea control from 1.0 ppmw diquat did not prevent extensive regrowth the following season.Dichlobenil at 10 and 20 pounds active per acre suppressed but did not completely prevent regrowth in previously diquat-treated plots.Levels of diquat in treated plants were not increased by addi- tion of endothall or copper sulfate.The influence of water movement in Siltcoos Lake from wind and flood water resulted in drift of chemi- cal from treated areas and consequent control of exposed E.

We write this letter to support EPA and NOAA in their proposed disapproval of Oregon’s Coastal Nonpoint Pollution Control Program (CNPCP). Oregon does not have an approvable program that meets agency requirements for a coastal nonpoint pollution program. The State has gotten by for years with an ineffective piecemeal approach, including promises to tighten TMDL’s, increase the size of riparian buffers under Department of Forestry rules for logging on private lands, decommission and/or restore so-called legacy roads in forestlands, and craft a voluntary approach to onsite septic leakage. All of these things are necessary, but none are remotely sufficient to solve the problems facing coastal communities. will concentrate specifically on the “public and private drinking water” designated use, because of its obvious importance to coastal communities. Oregon’s Failure to Create a Nonpoint Pollution Program for the Coastal Region Oregon has so far refused to create, use, enforce and maintain a nonpoint program that protects the designated uses. Currently, EPA/NOAA provide no management measures to protect drinking water from the effects of logging – yet this is the central issue facing coastal communities.
