  • Resource Management
    Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Resource Management Section 2.1 Introduction Background Resource lands are essentially available assets. In 1973 Oregon passed legislation with the intent of providing statewide protection to many of Oregon’s land use resources. At that time, farming and wood products were the primary economic drivers for the State, so farm and forest lands were specifically noted for protection and are often referred to as resource lands. Other resources were also identified. The structure for protecting Oregon’s lands is provided by five of the 19 Statewide Planning Goals and the associated Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) and Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR). This chapter includes resources protected through the Statewide Goals. Farm lands are protected by Statewide Goal 3, Agricultural Lands, ORS 215 and OAR 660-033. Goal 3 requires all counties to inventory and protect farm lands. The ORSs and OARs further define which land should be designated farm land and what uses are permissible. The State regulations for managing farm lands are comprehensive and complex. Forest lands are protected by Statewide Goal 4, Forest Lands, various sections of ORS and OAR 660-006. The Goal again requires all counties to inventory forest lands and adopt policies that will conserve forest lands for forest uses. Statewide Goal 5, Natural Resources, Scenic and Historic Areas and Open Spaces, establishes a process for inventorying and evaluating more than a dozen natural and cultural resources. The process is defined in OAR 660-016 and OAR 660-023. If a resource is found to be significant, local government can protect it, allow uses that conflict with it, or find a balance.

  • An Analysis of Two Post-Mazama Prehistoric Flaked Stone Scatters in the Upper Deschutes River Basin of Central Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Janine Ruth McFarland for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in the co-departments of Anthropology, History, and Geography presented on February 1, 1989. Title: An Analysis of Two Post-Mazama Flaked Stone Scatters in the Upper Deschutes River Basin of Central Oregon Abstract approved: Richard E. Ross During the summer of 1986, an archaeological testing projectwas completed at seven prehistoric campsites primarily located in the upper Deschutes River Basin of central Oregon. Testing was focused on two low-density "lithic scatters", an archaelogical sitetype which is especially abundant in this obsidian-rich region but which,to date, has not been extensively studied. Excavations indicated that the obsidian flake scatters post-date the 6800 B.F. eruption ofMount Mazama and represent the remains of huntingcamps focused along Fall River. The testing strategy employed providedan alternative approach to testing and evaluating the archaeological significanceof obsidian flake scatters located throughout the pumicezone of central Oregon.

  • Upper Deschutes Subbasin Assessment August 2003
    Upper Deschutes Subbasin Assessment August 2003 By Kolleen E. Yake EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Upper Deschutes Subbasin Assessment began work in 2002 as a project of the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council. From its inception, the assessment has been a cooperative venture with multiple partners, participants, and advisors. Funding for the project came from grants received from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. In-kind donations of time, technical assistance, contract services, and equipment were generously contributed to the project by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, Deschutes National Forest, the Deschutes Resources Conservancy, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Bureau of Land Management, OSU-Cascades, the Nature Conservancy, the Oregon Water Resources Department, Deschutes County Soil and Water Conservation District, and GeoSpatial Solutions among many others. The purpose of the Upper Deschutes Subbasin Assessment was to gather together existing data and information on all the historic and current conditions that play a role in impacting the watershed health of the subbasin. The details, recommendations, and data gaps discussed within the assessment will assist the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council and other natural resource managers in the area identify key restoration projects and opportunities to enhance fish and wildlife habitat and water quality in the subbasin. By combining all of the existing available information on watershed resources, the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council hopes to raise community awareness about the interconnections and impacts within the whole Upper Deschutes Subbasin system. The key findings and recommendations within the assessment identify and prioritize opportunities for voluntary actions that are directed toward improving fish and wildlife habitat and water quality.
