  • Willamette Basin Review Feasibility Study
    US Army Corps of Engineers Portland District Willamette Basin Review Feasibility Study DRAFT Integrated Feasibility Report and Environmental Assessment November 2017 Willamette Basin Review Feasibility Study Executive Summary The Willamette River basin is located entirely within the state of Oregon, beginning south of Cottage Grove, and extending approximately 187 miles to the north where the Willamette River flows into the Columbia River. The basin is more than 11,200 square miles, averages 75 miles in width, and encompasses approximately 12 percent of the total area of the state (Figure ES-1). Within the watershed are most of the state’s population (nearly 70 percent), larger cities, and major industries. The basin also contains some of Oregon’s most productive agricultural lands and supports nationally and regionally important fish and wildlife species. Thirteen of Oregon’s thirty-six counties intersect or lie within the boundary of the Willamette River basin. Through a series of Flood Control Acts the U.S. Congress authorized the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to construct, operate, and maintain thirteen major dams1 in the Willamette River basin. Collectively, these dams, reservoirs and associated infrastructure are known as the Willamette Valley Project (WVP). With a combined conservation storage capacity of approximately 1,590,000 acre-feet, the WVP is capable of providing important benefits for flood damage reduction, navigation, hydropower, irrigation, municipal and industrial water supply, flow augmentation for pollution abatement and improved conditions for fish and wildlife, and recreation. Feasibility Study History The Willamette Basin Review Feasibility Study began in 1996 to investigate future Willamette River basin water demand.

  • Response to Watershed Analysis Amendment Request
    Upper Middle Fork Watershed Analysis Update Response to the Watershed Analysis Amendment Request Listed below are analysis and responses provided by the Middle Fork District to issues/concerns listed in the U.S.D.I. Fish and Wildlife Service November, 1996. In this portion of the analysis amendment, the original issue is listed, as stated by the Fish and Wildlife Service. Following this, the key question and issue from the 1996 Watershed Analysis is stated. Below each key question is the scientific, analytical, and professional response to these issues. In some cases the issue presented by the Fish and Wildlife Service do not related to the key issues presented in the original watershed analysis. In these situations a new key question is developed. For the most part, the original key questions are still valid with minor changes. Listed below are the eleven aquatic habitat condition concerns. Eleven Listed Aquatic Concerns 1. Identify and map important bull trout rearing and spawning habitat, as well as current and future re-introduction sites, and potential future distribution down to Hills Creek Reservoir – if this information is known or available. Functional Relationship – Bull Trout Habitat Historical references indicate that bull trout Salvelinus confluentus in Oregon were once distributed throughout 12 basins in the Klamath River and Columbia River systems. Bull trout were probably found throughout the Willamette Basin, however available documentation is limited (Buchanan et al. 1997). Bull trout in the upper Middle Fork Willamette Watershed likely ranged throughout the mainstem Middle Fork Willamette and associated larger tributaries (Figure 1-1, Historic Bull Trout Distribution Map).

    John Day - Snake River RAC October 7, 2016 Boardman, Oregon Meeting called to order at 8:05 a.m., October 7, 2016. Designated Federal Officials begin their respective reports: • Vale, BLM • Umatilla National Forest 1. Jim Reiss: Concerns over water rights pertaining to mining-what happens to water pools from mining activities once the operations have concluded? a. Randy Jones: It is generally left to evaporate. 2. Randy Jones: How can the John Day- Snake River RAC interact with the land management agencies in terms of providing comments and suggestions related to the Blue Mountain Forest Resiliency Plan? a. Gen Masters: The RAC can recommend increased budgetary support for the Umatilla National Forest as well as encourage public support of upcoming and ongoing projects. Also, the Umatilla National Forest will be bringing projects to the John Day- Snake RAC for review in the near future. • Prineville, BLM 1. Jim Reiss: Pertaining to potential State Park establishment, what is the anticipated use of the park? a. Carol Benkosky: Use of the roads to access the area are different than anticipated-users are preferring to access the river via Starvation Lane. 2. Jim Reiss: How are grazing permits being managed? a. Carol Benkosky: Grazing is currently being managed by Western Rivers, as a private contract. The land is being leased and if the land becomes federal land, grazing will continue per federal grazing regulations. 3. Bryan Sykes: It sounds like the goal of acquiring these lands is to maintain public access? a. Carol Benkosky: Yes. There are also maintenance concerns with the area, so a plan will be required to be developed.
