  • Interior the Following Appropriations Requests Were Submitted by Senator
    Interior The following appropriations requests were submitted by Senator Merkley to the Appropriations Committee for consideration as part of the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies appropriations bill for fiscal year 2011. Bend Surface Water Project - $2,000,000 EPA, Bend, OR The Surface Water project has three major components: water treatment, pipeline replacement, and hydroelectric development. Funds will be put toward the estimated overall $71,000,000 cost of the project, which is to construct a water treatment plant, replace an 11 mile water pipeline, and install a small hydroelectric facility, gaining 1.2 MW of green power, further defraying the long term cost of the project. The project is required in order to replace aging infrastructure, and comply with EPA LT2 drinking water regulations governing surface water. Eastside Sewer Interceptor Project: Oak to Antler - $1,375,000 City of Redmond, Redmond, OR The east side of Redmond is poised for significant industrial and commercial growth. The City’s Desert Rise Industrial Park (State Certified, 75 shovel ready acres), Pioneer Business Park (40 acre, incubator lots), Crown Mill redevelopment (70 acre former sawmill), Greenway Business Campus (220 acre ―green-themed‖ re-development) and several other planned development or redevelopment projects exist east of US 97 and the BNSF rail line. Full buildout of the east side industrial development cannot occur without construction of a planned large diameter sewer line which parallels the BNSF rail line and intercepts/collects wastewater effluent from all east side development. The project, known as the Eastside Sewer Interceptor Project, will also have the capacity to serve the potential 900-acre large lot Department of State Land (DSL) project south of the Deschutes County Fairgrounds and Expo Center.

The Oregon parks system owes its beginning to the thought of highway beautification advocated by many leaders of the state, including the Governors, the early State Highway Commissioners and Highway Engi- neers.

  • Economic Analysis of Outdoor Recreation in Oregon Executive Summary
    ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF OUTDOOR RECREATION IN OREGON EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Across all of Oregon, there are thousands of recreation sites and opportunities where one can hike, HOW THIS COMPARES TO OTHER ANALYSES camp, bike, picnic, hunt, kite surf, and more; and every year, billions of dollars are spent by folks enjoying Oregon’s outdoors. Recognizing that outdoor recreation is a major contributor to the state’s economy, This analysis is consistent with findings from other research conducted on Oregon’s outdoor recreation economy. In Travel Oregon, the Oregon Office of Outdoor Recreation (OREC), and Oregon Department of Fish and 2017, the Outdoor Industry Association estimated that $16.4 billion was spent on outdoor recreation trips and gear Wildlife (ODFW) came together to commission a study on the impacts of the outdoor recreation economy. purchases in Oregon, an estimate slightly higher than the one presented here. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) estimated that spending on outdoor recreation in Oregon in 2019 contributed $7.2 billion to Oregon’s GDP and The study found that in 2019, outdoor recreation in Oregon supported $15.6 billion in spending. supported 88,000 jobs. While these estimates vary from the findings of this analysis, it is important to understand Consumer spending on outdoor recreation supports businesses and jobs throughout the state, and then that the BEA analysis does not consider local recreation in their analysis, making the results more comparable to the ripples throughout Oregon’s economy as business income and wages are re-spent, causing economic visitor expenditure estimate presented earlier. effects in sectors not directly tied to outdoor recreation.

Riding on the leading edge of the moving North American plate, Oregon reflects the underlying mecha- nism of the plate collision boundary in virtually all aspects of its geology. In the seven years since the fourth edition was written, an irregular but continuing drumbeat of earthquakes reminds us of the forces beneath our feet and the need to prepare for catastrophic changes be they quakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, floods, or massive earth movements. Most profound is the discovery of irrefutable evidence that these catastrophes have been visited on the state quite regularly over the past few thousands of years as well as the absolute surety that similar disasters will oc- cur in the near and distant future.
