  • 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.

  • Setting the Vision for Gorge Future Public, Governors, Senators, Voice Support for Funding Gorge Protection at Gorge Forum
    FRIENDS OF THE COLUMBIA GORGE Setting the Vision for Gorge Future Public, Governors, Senators, Voice Support for Funding Gorge Protection at Gorge Forum On April21, Congressman Earl Blumenauer sponsored the Columbia River Gorge Forum, hosted by McMenamins Edgefield. A standing­ room-only crowd heard panels discuss issues and opportunities for economic development and recreation in the Gorge. Representatives from the offices of Governor Kitzhaber, Governor Locke, Senator Ron Wyden, and Senator Patty Murray spoke in support of funding Gorge protection through the Columbia Gorge Commission. Repre­ sentative Marc Boldt from Washington, who has led the attack on the Gorge protection budget, spoke briefly. Representatives Val Ogden from Washington and Chris Beck from Oregon spoke in support of full funding for Gorge protection. More than 20 people testified during public comment. The overwhelming majority of people supported Gorge protection, and several people raised "Those who seek to slash funding for concerns that the Act is not strong the Gorge Commission and reduce its enough.

  • 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.

  • Cascade Locks Trail System Hood River County, OR
    Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area | July 2021 Cascade Locks Trail System Hood River County, OR Final Decision Notice and Finding of No Significant Impact and Consistency Determination (CD-21-01-S) Introduction The Forest Service proposed to develop a 14.8-mile, shared-use trail system on National Forest System (NFS) lands surrounding Cascade Locks and within the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area (CRGNSA) and Hood River County, Oregon. The purpose of this project is to help meet the growing demand for mountain biking opportunities in the Pacific Northwest consistent with the 1986 Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Act. This project, developed in coordination with the Port of Cascade Locks and responsive to the 2019-2023 Oregon Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, envisions a trail system to connect to the existing Gorge 400 Trail, Herman Creek Trail, and Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCT) and expand biking, hiking, and equestrian trail opportunities near the community of Cascade Locks. A Draft Environmental Assessment was prepared by the Forest Service and made available for public review and comment March 3 through April 2, 2021. A Final Environmental Assessment is now available. This Finding of No Significant Impact and Decision Notice identifies the selected alternative and rationale for the decision. The environmental analysis is conducted according to the Council on Environmental Quality’s (CEQ) 1978 regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §§1500-1508, as amended). The CEQ issued revised regulations for implementing the procedural provisions of NEPA effective September 14, 2020.
