Acknowledgements . . . the Bureau of Land Management Klamath Falls Acknowledgements . The Bureau of Land Management Klamath Falls Resource Area acted as a cooperator in the development of this report and environmental assessment; their assistance was critical in its development. Much of this document was taken directly from, or based on, the Bureau of Land Management's earlier studies of the Klamath River: the Final Eligibility and Suitability Report for the Upper Klamath Wild and Scenic River Study and the Draft Klamath Falls Area Resource Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement. This assessment also borrowed heavily from the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Salt Caves Hydroelectric Project prepared by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. These publications will be examined in considerable detail throughout the course of this text. The art in this report was donated by Paul Chattey, Terri Taylor and Marsha Tolon with the National Park Service's Cultural Resources Division. Each drawing represents one of the seven nationally significant categories of resources found along the upper Klamath River. The cover, for example, represents Native American traditional use of the Klamath River. i Table of Contents INTRODUCTION Purpose.. 1 Report Structure.. 2 Wild & Scenic Rivers Act - Criteria and Process. 2 Klamath River Segment Proposed For Designation. 3 Existing Assessments and Reports.. 3 Nationwide Rivers Inventory. 3 Congressional Wild and Scenic River Study. 3 Application for Federal Energy Regulatory Commission License.. 4 Bureau of Land Management Resource Management Plan.. 5 STATE DESIGNATION AND MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK State Scenic River Designation. 7 State and Local River Management Framework. 7 Klamath River Basin Compact. 7 Oregon Comprehensive Waterway Management Plan. 8 Oregon Scenic Waterways Act. 8 Conclusions. 8 EVALUATION OF ELIGIBILITY & CLASSIFICATION Eligibility Findings. 9 Free-Flowing Condition.. 9 Outstandingly Remarkable Values.. 9 Recreation Resources.. 10 Wildlife. 10 Fish.. 11 Prehistoric Resources.. 13 Historic Resources. 13 Scenic Resources. 13 Native American Traditional Use. 14 Other Exceptional Values. 14 Classification. 16 Water Resource Developments. 17 Shoreline Development. 17 Accessibility.. 17 Water Quality.. 17 Conclusions. 18 ii Table of Contents EVALUATION OF RESOURCE PROTECTION & MANAGEMENT Federal Laws and Regulations. 19 Statutes and Regulations Common to All Lands. 19 Statutes and Regulations Specific to Federal Lands. 19 State and Local Laws and Regulations. 20 Oregon Land Use Act.. 20 Oregon Scenic Waterways Act. 20 Oregon Forest Practices Act. 20 Interstate Compacts. 21 Resource Management Plan.. 21 BLM Allocations and Resource Classifications. 22 BLM Site-Specific Management Plan. 23 Old-Growth Forest Directives. 23 Riparian Reserve. 24 Administratively Withdrawn Area.. 24 District-Defined Reserve. 24 Other Resource Classifications. 24 Wild Rainbow Trout Stream. 24 Significant Resource Area. 25 Northwest Power Planning Council Protected Area. 25 Peregrine Falcon Management Unit.. 25 Agreements with Other Landowners. 25 Conclusions. 25 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Purpose and Need. 27 Description of the Area. 27 Physiography. 27 Socioeconomics. 28 Land Ownership.. 28 Existing Rights.. 28 Regional Transportation.. 29 Access. 29 Land Uses.. 30 Description of Resources. 34 Alternatives. 51 Alternative A: No Action. ..

The resources of the project are strongly associated with the early development of electricity in the southern Oregon and northern California region and played a significant role in the area’s economy both directly, as a part of a regionally-significant, locally-owned and operated, private utility, and indirectly, through the role that increased electrical capacity played in the expansion of the timber, agriculture, and recreation industries during the first six decades of the 20th century. The Klamath Hydroelectric Project is considered regionally significant and eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion “A” for its association with the industrial and economic development of southern Oregon and northern California. [See Statement of Significance, Page 19] Copco No. 1, Dam and Gatehouse, 2002 In my opinion, the property ___ meets ___ does not meet the criteria for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

They have been doing so since time immemorial, an important indigenous concept which describes a time continuum that spans from ancient times to present day. In post- contact years, interactions expanded to include explorers, traders and missionaries, who brought with them new opportunities for trade and intermarriage as well as the devastating circumstances brought by disease, warfare, and the reservation era. Through cultural adaptation and uninterrupted treaty rights, the CTUIR never ceased to continue to travel to the lower Columbia and Willamette River and falls for seasonal traditional practice and for other purposes.

The NOCSAE® standard is aimed at reducing the risk of skull fractures. The standard has not been correlated with reducing the risk of concussions from such impacts. NOCSAE® standards require that a batting helmet withstand all test impacts at an established peak severity index (SI). Helmets also must survive all test protocols substantially intact and ready for use. NOCSAE® baseball batting helmet standards involve tests of baseballs fired from a cannon at 60 mph at a distance of 2 ft, which is roughly equivalent to an impact resulting from a pitch speed of 68 mph at a distance of 60 ft.

FOREWORD. For several years it has been my effort to assemble the names of the de­ scendants of William Wilson and Elizabeth Blackburn, who settled finally in what is now Hardy County, West Virginia. The task has been an arduous one with many discouragements, but after much labor it is here presented in the best form pos­ sible under the circumstances. It was my main purpose merely to assemble the names of which there are now over 7,200. It is my guess, (not even an estimate,) that at least 1,500 are not yet included. Many of the "children" disappeared in the early part of the eigh­ teenth century and no further traces have been found. A word as to the accuracy of this list. Please remember all had to be ac­ cumulated by correspondence. In many cases no replies were received and informa­ tion had to be gathered from the best available sources. Very often the data were given from memory. Many of the dates and the spelling of the names have been changed three or four times as later information would come in.
