S. Department of the Navy.) Reproduction in whole or in part is permitted for any purpose of the United States Government. SOME RECENT PHYSICAL CHANGES OF THE OREGON COAST by Samuel N. Dicken assisted by Carl L. Johannessen and Bill Hanneson Department of Geography University of Oregon Eugene, Oregon November 15, 1961 Reprinted in the public interest by the EugeneRegister-Guard and the Lane County Geographical Society,Inc., April, 1976. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The subject of coastal changes is of interest to many people living on or near the Oregon coast and, as a result, numerous interviews, only a few of which can be acknowledged, furnished much information not otherwise available. Valuable assistance came from persons concerned professionally with some aspect of coastal change. The staff of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Portland District, was most helpful, especially H. A. Kidby of the Rivers and Harbors Section, Lloyd Ruff of the Geology Section, Mr. Charles Oros of the Photogrammetry Office and Dorothy McKean, Librarian. Mr. E. Olson of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey located copies of old charts and other materials.Ralph Mason of the Oregon State Department of Geology and Mineral Industriescon- tributed notes on Ecola Park and other areas. Robert L. Brown and the staff of the U. S. Soil Conservation Service furnished photographs andspec- ific information on vegetation changes of the dunes.Park Snavely of the U. -

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. -
Comprehensive Plan Is a General Plan for the Logical and Orderly Development of Dunes City Over the Years
CHAPTER I GOALS, POLICIES, RECOMMENDATIONS, AND PLAN IMPLEMENTATION October 10, 2013 INTRODUCTION A. Foreword This Comprehensive Plan is a general plan for the logical and orderly development of Dunes City over the years. There are reasons for writing it beyond the State requirements that each city and county in Oregon have a plan. There are already in existence building codes, zoning ordinances, health and safety codes, anti- pollution requirements, and many more laws that restrict what a person may do with their own property. These are necessary rules so that we can have some assurance of what our neighborhoods will generally be like in the future. Developers should be able to put the proper type of construction in the right place with the least damage to the environment. New citizens may be attracted by having some assurance of what their future surroundings will look like. Residents who are already here should gain confidence that their city will not deteriorate as has been the case in so many unplanned communities. The first section of the plan contains the policies that guide the city decision-makers. Following the policies are sections that contain inventory material that were used to develop the policies and a section on the history of Dunes City and the surrounding area. The original plan, adopted September 9, 1976, was put together by a group of area citizens with a variety of backgrounds. New members were appointed by the Mayor and the City Council at public meetings from a list of interested citizens. This Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee met 24 times in 1974. -

The three streams are the Siltcoos River, Tahkenitch Creek and Tenmile Creek. The format for this appendix has changed considerably from what it was in the DEIS. This is because the appendix now contains the report for the full suitability study while the DEIS contained only the report for the eligibility portion of the study. Two important substantive changes have been made between the DEIS and this FEIS. They are a result of changes in the Preferred Alternative (PA). They include: The PA no longer finds the Siltcoos River suitable for inclusion in the Wild and Scenic Rivers System, and The PA finds that Tahkenitch Creek is suitable with a classification of "wild" rather than "scenic." Other changes reflect better information regarding acreages, private land, and some of the management practices which might take place as a result of managing for Western snowy plover, a species identified as threatened after the DEIS was printed.
