  • Cooper Spur Land Exchange Draft Environmental Impact
    Draft Environmental Impact Statement Chapter 3 – Affected Environment and Environmental Consequences Chapter 3 – Affected Environment and Environmental Consequences Introduction This chapter presents the relevant resource components of the existing environment. It describes the resources of the area that would be affected by the alternatives. This chapter also discloses the environmental effects of implementing the alternatives. These form the scientific and analytical basis for comparing the alternatives described in chapter 2. Most specialists used a Geographic Information System (GIS) to calculate the miles and areas affected, or to model habitats. If specialists used models other than GIS, it would be described in their report. Analysis Assumptions The following assumptions were identified regarding the future use and management of the conveyed and acquired lands, as an aid in identifying the resources that may be affected by the proposal. All assumptions were based on the best scientific, social, and economic information available at the time of analysis. References to the information from which each assumption is based are provided. Government Camp: The Federal Lands to be Conveyed Future development is based on Clackamas County zoning regulations and the existing condition of the private parcel that lies between the two Government Camp parcels. This private parcel is assigned the same zoning criteria as the parcels to be conveyed. The Clackamas County Planning and Zoning Division was contacted for assistance in interpreting the zoning regulations (Project Record). The lands to be conveyed would be zoned primarily as Hoodland Residential (HR), with Open Space Management (GCOSM) buffers along the property lines (see figure 14).

    September 2021 Dear PNSA Competitor, PNSEF, PNSA and PNSAA would like to invite you to participate in the Elite Season Pass Program for the 2021 – 22 season. The Elite Pass has been offered to PNSA athletes for nearly 40 years. The program is unique in the U.S. ski racing world. The benefits for athletes is obvious – one pass good for all the ski areas in the Northwest, literally saving the athlete money while training at their home hill and racing across the Northwest. Proceeds from a pass purchase benefits the PNSAA office, ski areas in the Northwest, and PNSEF. As you might know, PNSEF is the fund raising arm of PNSA. PNSEF provides grants for PNSA camps, individual grants to athletes to help offset competion costs, scholarships to athletes moving onto college, and education grants for coaches. PNSEF is also a huge contributer to the safety of all PNSA athletes – the foundation made the initial purchase of B-net that is used across PNSA to keep racing venues safe. Every alpine athlete who races in PNSA has benefited from the efforts PNSEF has made to support ski racing in the Northwest. Purchasing an Elite Pass benefits you in more ways than imagined. Elite Pass Rules US Ski & Snowboard National Points are used to determine eligibility: Women: 280 Pts or less in GS, SL or SG Men: 230 Pts or less in GS, SL or SG (National Points list 21 from the 2020-21 season used to qualify athletes) This download contains your pass application and mandatory forms.
