Instead, please join us at the annual COF picnic on Thursday, August 18 at Aspen Hall in Shevlin Park, 6:30PM. Random Casts River access rights and ground water pumping continue to be a “hot button” issue in the State and Central Oregon. One proposed piece of legislation was stopped in committee that would have guaranteed a piece-meal approach to river management. There would have been different rules throughout the State, and rules could change in different reaches of a river. The conflict for river rights would have continued with a convoluted management process that could diminish access over time. The maintenance of this right is important to any river user, but we must recognize this right comes with responsibilities and demands respect for the adjacent land owners. The high water mark is only a boundary, and we must leave the banks clear of debris and trash. DO NOT venture on to other people’s property. In a quick few days, the legislature passed a law to circumvent a recent court ruling that had limited ground water pumping in the Upper Deschutes basin.

  • 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.

  • Central Oregon Interior Redband Genetic Status Project
    Central Oregon Interior Redband Genetic Status Project State(s): Oregon Managing Agency/Organization: USDA Forest Service – Deschutes National Forest Type of Organization: Government Project Status: Underway Project type: WNTI Project Project action(s): Assessment Trout species benefitted: Interior Redband Trout Population: Tumalo Creek Watershed and South Fork Crooked River Watershed Project summary: The project would determine the genetic status of Interior Columbia River Basin Redband Trout populations in Central Oregon within the Tumalo Creek and South Fork Crooked River watersheds, where rainbow trout of hatchery origin have been liberally stocked in the past. Determining the status is critically important to fishery managers with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for the management and conservation of this species, which are classified as a sensitive species with the Forest Service, BLM, and the State of Oregon. Future and ongoing land management practices in these watersheds could potentially impact water quality and Redband Trout habitat. An ongoing project within the Tumalo Creek watershed, located approximately 15 miles west of Bend on national forest lands, is the diversion of headwater springs to supply the City with municipal water, which affects streamflow in both Bridge and Tumalo Creek. Populations of either native Redband Trout or hatchery- origin rainbow trout exist above Tumalo Falls on Tumalo Creek, which is a vertical 97 foot high migrational barrier. A possible scenario is that streamflow that would naturally flow from the springs into Redband- occupied habitat of Tumalo Creek is instead being diverted into Bridge Creek that is considered void of fish upstream of the municipal water intake.
