Members of the commit- tee include Clean Water Services (CWS), Tualatin Valley Irrigation District (TVID), Joint Water Commission (JWC), Lake Oswego Corporation (LOC) and Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD). Highlights for 2015 include: • Both Scoggins and Barney Reservoirs filled. • Weather highlights: –Much of the winter was drier than average with the exception of February. –Spring (April through June) was exceptionally dry and warm which resulted in low streamflow and one of the earliest dates of river regulation. –Fall had a series of large storms, the largest of which occurred in December. –December was the wettest on record. Streamflows in December rivaled those during the flood of 1996 at some locations. • Wapato Lake was pumped out in Spring and the lakebed was farmed as in a normal summer. • Regulation of river water use began early (May 8th) due to low flows caused by the dry spring weather. • Clean Water Services to begin releasing water for flow augmentation on June 9th, the earliest date since 1992 (June 5th). The last year that flow augmentation occurred in June was 2002. June releases have only occurred 6 times since flow augmentation began in 1987.

The headwaters are in the Coast Range and flow in a generally easterly direction to the confluence with the Willamette River. The basin lies almost entirely in Washington County. (See map below) The Tualatin River is about 80 miles long and changes dramatically from its headwaters to its mouth. The mountain or headwater reach (upstream of RM 55) is narrow (about 15 ft) and steep with an average slope of about 74 ft/mi. The meander reach (RM 55–33) is wider with an average slope of about 1.3 ft/mi. The reser- voir reach (RM 33–3.4) is very wide (up to 150 ft) and has an estimated slope of only 0.08 ft/mi. It includes several deep pools. Travel times through this reach are very long. The slow movement of the water causes this reach to act much like a lake. In the riffle reach (RM 3.4–0), the Tualatin River flows through a short reservoir section and then drops into a narrow gorge near the City of West Linn before it enters the Willamette River just upstream of Willamette Falls. The average slope in this reach is 10 ft/mi .

The amount of rainfall ranges from 110 inches on the eastern slopes of the Coast Range to 37 inches in the southeastern area of the drainage basin. Peak months for rainfall are November through February while the driest months are normally June through October. The peak streamflow month is usually February and the lowest streamflow month is August. Barney Reservoir: Barney Reservoir is located behind Eldon Mills Dam on the Middle Fork of the North Fork of the Trask River (outside of the Tualatin Basin). A trans-basin aqueduct carries water over a low Coast Range divide to a pipeline that discharges into the Tualatin River at RM 78. Barney Reservoir has a capacity of 20,000 acre-feet and stores water for the Joint Water Commission (Cities of Hillsboro, Forest Grove and Beaverton, and the Tualatin Valley Water District) and Clean Water Services. The Barney Res- ervoir Joint Ownership Commission owns, operates and manages Barney Reservoir. Reservoir content is monitored through calibrated reservoir elevations; water releases are monitored using a stream gage located in the outlet flume. Water is released during the summer low-flow season to supplement shortages in natural flow. The water is used for municipal supply and for instream water quality.

Shively Department of Geosciences Oregon State University The Tualatin River Basin studies are being done under a grant from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to the Oregon Water Resources Research Institute . Tualatin River Basin Water Resources Management Report Number 6 TUALATIN RIVER BASIN SPECIAL REPORT S The Tualatin River Basin in Washington County, Oregon, is a complex area wit h highly developed agricultural, forestry, industrial, commercial, and residential activities. Population has grown in the past thirty years from fifty to over 270 thousand . Accompanying this population growth have been the associated increases i n transportation, construction, and recreational activities . Major improvements have occurred in treatment of wastewater discharges from communities and industries in th e area. A surface water runoff management plan is in operation, Agricultural and forestr y operations have adopted practices designed to reduce water quality impacts . In spite of efforts to-date, the standards required to protect appropriate beneficial uses of water hav e not been met in the slow-moving river . The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality awarded a grant in 1992 to the Oregon Water Resources Research Institute (OWRRI) at Oregon State University to review existing information on the Tualatin, organize that information so that it can be- readily evaluated, develop a method to examine effectiveness, costs and benefits of alternative pollution abatement strl ategies., and allow -for the evaluation of various scenarios proposed for water management in the Tualatin Basin .

  • Henry Hagg Lake Environmental Assessment and FONSI
    FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT PN FONSI -04-01 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR HENRY HAGG LAKE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN Introduction The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) has completed a mUlti-year planning and public involvement program for the purpose of preparing a Resource Management Plan (RMP) for Henry Hagg Lake and the surrounding Reclamation lands, known as Scoggins Valley Park. The RMP program is authorized under Title 28 of Public Law 102-575. Reclamation has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) of the plan in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. The purpose of the RMP is to manage natural and cultural resources, facilities, and access on Reclamation's lands at Henry Hagg Lake for the next 10 years. This RMP will also serve as guidance for Washington County's (WACO) management of Scoggins Valley Park, Reclamation's public entity, and non-Federal managing partner. Alternatives Considered The National Environmental Policy Act requires Reclamation to explore a reasonable range of alternative management approaches and to evaluate the environmental effects of these alternatives. Three alternatives are evaluated and compared in this document, including a No Action Alternative and a Preferred Alternative. Alternative A - No Action - Continuation of Existing Management Practices. Management would be conducted according to the priorities and projects proposed under the preferred alternative in the 1994 EA for Scoggins Valley Park/Henry Hagg Lake Recreation Development, including camping. Reclamation would continue to adhere to all applicable Federal and State laws, regulations, and executive orders, including those enacted since the 1994 EA was adopted. Alternative B - Minimal Recreation Development with Resource Enhancement_ Alternative B accommodates the increasing demands for recreation at Henry Hagg Lake primarily by expanding and upgrading existing facilities.
