Preface This study was undertaken to estimate the effects of agricultural development on natural flows in the Upper Klamath River Basin. A large body of data was reviewed and analyzed to obtain the results included in this assessment of the natural hydrology of the Basin. Within this report, the term natural represents typical flows without agricultural development in the basin. The term predevelopment describes watershed conditions existing during the pre-settlement period which ended in the mid-19th century. The last vestige of predevelopment watershed conditions unaffected by agricultural development was probably gone by about 1960. Changes in forest conditions and land-use management activities were considered but not addressed in this study. Only within remote alpine and some sub-alpine watersheds are present-day environmental conditions similar to those that existed before settlement began. A draft of this report was released for review and comment in December 2003. The report was reorganized and additional explanations and elements were added in December 2004 based on the comments received from the reviewers of the December 2003 draft report. During early 2005, a workgroup representing an array of Klamath Basin interests was convened by Reclamation. In three workgroup meetings (March 2-3, 2005, and April 26-27, 2005, and September 1-2, 2005), several technical aspects of the natural flow study were discussed and review comments were offered by the workgroup on the December 2004 report. Comments on the December 2004 report were documented in a comment/response matrix prepared by Reclamation’s Klamath Basin Area Office. This November 2005 report incorporates research of additional data recently collected. The Excel® model spreadsheet application, input and output files, and results are included in the CD which contains this report and all its attachments.

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    Frequently Asked Questions Why are we doing this project? The City of Klamath Falls is working to upgrade the Spring Street Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) due to its aging infrastructure and the need to meet new, stricter treatment standards. The project is an important, long-term investment for the community. The City has operated the Spring Street STP since 1958, serving Klamath Falls for over 60 years. Many of the plant’s parts are original since their installation in the 1950s. As repairs are becoming necessary due to age, it is more cost-efficient to replace them entirely them than to repair them. A comprehensive upgrade is a smart investment in the plant, avoiding short-term, quick-fix solutions that add up in the long run. What benefits will this project provide to the City of Klamath Falls? The City’s Wastewater Division provides services to approximately 21,000 city residents and Klamath Basin area customers, cleaning an average 2.2 million gallons of wastewater per day from over 7,400 service connections. These upgrades will provide the following benefits to this process and to the community: • Improved health, safety, and welfare of the public. • Reliable, robust treatment with sufficient process and equipment redundancy (allowing the plant to stay operational while routine maintenance and repairs occur), and operator-friendly facilities. • Energy efficiency, which will result in additional funding from the Energy Trust of Oregon and reduced power bills. • Reduction in operation and maintenance costs due to the elimination of two existing processes: primary clarification and digestion. Along with being a smart long-term investment, the upgrades will help keep the City in compliance with Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) regulations and protect the area’s natural resources such as Lake Ewauna, the headwaters of the Klamath River where the treated wastewater is discharged.

  • Historical Evidence
    Distribution of Anadromous Fishes in the Upper Klamath River Watershed Prior to Hydropower Dams— A Synthesis of the Historical Evidence fisheries history Knowledge of the historical distribution of anadromous fish is important to guide man- agement decisions regarding the Klamath River including ongoing restoration and regional recovery of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). Using various sources, we determined the historical distribution of anadromous fish above Iron Gate Dam. feature Evidence for the largest, most utilized species, Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus ABSTRACT tshawytscha), was available from multiple sources and clearly showed that this species historically migrated upstream into tributaries of Upper Klamath Lake. Available infor- mation indicates that the distribution of steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) extended to the Klamath Upper Basin as well. Coho salmon and anadromous lamprey (Lampetra tri- dentata) likely were distributed upstream at least to the vicinity of Spencer Creek. A population of anadromous sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) may have occurred historically above Iron Gate Dam. Green sturgeon (Acipenser medirostris), chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta), pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki clarki), and eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus) were restricted to the Klamath River well below Iron Gate Dam. This synthesis of available sources regard- ing the historical extent of these species’ upstream distribution provides key information necessary to guide management and habitat restoration efforts. Introduction John B. Hamilton Gary L. Curtis Gatschet’s statement is that salmon ascend the Klamath river twice a year, in June and again in autumn. This is in agreement with my information, that the run comes in the middlefinger Scott M. Snedaker month [sic], May–June, and that the large fish run in the fall...They ascend all the rivers David K.

  • Little Butte Creek Watershed Assessment
    Little Butte Creek Watershed Assessment Little Butte Creek Watershed Council August 2003 Abstract The Little Butte Creek Watershed Assessment has been prepared for the Little Butte Creek Watershed Council with funding from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB). The Assessment was prepared using the guidelines set forth in the Governor’s Watershed Enhancement Board’s 1999 Oregon Watershed Assessment Manual. The purpose of this document is to assess the current conditions and trends of human caused and ecologic processes within the Little Butte Creek Watershed and compare them with historic conditions. Many important ecological processes within the watershed have been degraded over the last 150 years of human activity. This Assessment details those locations and processes that are in need of restoration as well as those that are operating as a healthy system. The Assessment was conducted primarily at the 5th field watershed level, that of the entire Little Butte Creek Watershed. List and describe field watershed levels below. Where possible, the analyses was refined to the smaller 6th field watershed level, thirteen of which exist within the Little Butte Creek Watershed. The assessment also notes gaps in data and lists recommendations for future research and data collection. It is intended that this document, and the Little Butte Creek Watershed Action Plan be used as guides for future research and watershed protection and enhancement over the next decade. The document was developed using existing data. No new data was collected for this project. Where data was lacking, it was detailed for future work and study. Acknowledgements This assessment was compiled and written by Steve Mason.

  • Crooked River Mitigation Bank
    Crooked River Mitigation Bank Section G of the Environmental Resource Permit Application Introduction The Crooked River Mitigation Bank (CRMB, Bank) consists of 323.10 acres of a mixture of degraded natural wetland and upland habitats, and agricultural areas where the historical natural habitats have been converted to citrus grove. In general, the site consists of variable hydroperiod herbaceous and forested wetlands intermixed with pine flatwoods in the south, along with herbaceous and forested wetlands surrounding a citrus grove in the north. Old Polk City Road bisects the CRMB near the northern boundary. The entire site is currently degraded by habitat conversion, intensive agriculture, exotic species invasion, trash deposition, fire suppression, and hydrological impacts. Hydrological impacts include the continuous deposition of soil runoff, herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizer from the active citrus grove into all onsite and some offsite wetlands. The CRMB site exhibits both additional exempt agricultural development potential as well as residential development potential due to the proximity to County Road 557 and Interstate 4. Establishment of Crooked River Mitigation Bank will save this site from current aquatic impacts, further development and irreversible loss of aquatic function. The entire CRMB is owned fee-simple by the Hillbilly Holdings, LLC. There are old mineral reservations with no right of entry in some areas of the CRMB; these old mineral reservations will not interfere with Bank establishment. Part 1: Location of the Proposed Mitigation Bank (62-342.450(1), F.A.C.) The CRMB is located in Sections 4, 5, 8, 9, Township 27S, Range 26E with the approximate center of the site located at Latitude 28° 09’ 23.39” N, Longitude -81° 43’ 17.24” W.
