Exhibit E: Recreation Resources E7.0 RECREATION RESOURCES This section of Exhibit E of the license application for the Klamath Hydroelectric Project (Project) (FERC Project No. 2082) provides a report on recreational resources potentially affected by the Project as stipulated in Title 18 Section 4.51 (f) (5) of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations: The report must discuss existing and proposed recreational facilities and opportunities at the Project. The report must be prepared in consultation with local, state, and regional recreation agencies and planning commissions, the National Park Service, and any other state or Federal agency with managerial authority over any part of the Project lands. Consultation must be documented by appending to the report a letter from each agency consulted indicating the nature, extent, and results of the consultation. The report must contain: (i) A description of any existing recreational facilities at the Project, indicating whether the facilities are available for public use; (ii) An estimate of existing and potential recreational use of the Project area, in daytime and overnight visits; (iii) A description of any measures or facilities recommended by the agencies consulted for the purpose of creating, preserving, or enhancing recreational opportunities at the Project and in its vicinity (including opportunities for the handicapped), and for the purpose of ensuring the safety of the public in its use of Project lands and waters; (iv) A statement of the existing measures or facilities to be continued or maintained and the new measures or facilities proposed by the applicant for the purpose of creating, preserving, or enhancing recreational opportunities at the Project and in its vicinity, and for the purpose of ensuring the safety of the public in its use of Project lands and waters, including an explanation of why the applicant has rejected any measures or facilities recommended by an agency and described under paragraph (f)(5)(iii) of this section; and (v) The following materials and information regarding the measures and facilities identified under paragraphs (f)(5) (i) and (iv) of this section: (A) Identification of the entities responsible for implementing, constructing, operating, or maintaining any existing or proposed measures or facilities; (B) A schedule showing the intervals following issuance of a license at which implementation of the measures or construction of the facilities would be commenced and completed; © February 2004 PacifiCorp Exhibit E Recreation Resources.DOC Exhibit E Page 7-1 PacifiCorp Klamath Hydroelectric Project FERC No. 2082 (C) An estimate of the costs of construction, operation, and maintenance of any proposed facilities, including a statement of the sources and extent of financing; (D) A map or drawing that conforms to the size, scale, and legibility requirements of Sec. 4.39 showing by the use of shading, cross-hatching, or other symbols the identity and location of any facilities, and indicating whether each facility is existing or proposed (the maps or drawings in this exhibit may be consolidated); and (vi) A description of any areas within or in the vicinity of the proposed Project boundary that are included in, or have been designated for study for inclusion in, the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, or that have been designated as wilderness area, recommended for such designation, or designated as a wilderness Project area under the Wilderness Act. E7.1 EXISTING RECREATION RESOURCES AND FACTORS AFFECTING RECREATION RESOURCES Five recreation studies were conducted during relicensing and are presented in the Recreation Resources Final Technical Report (FTR). These studies are as follows: • Recreation Flow Analysis • Recreation Visitor Surveys • Regional Recreation Analysis • Recreation Needs Analysis • Recreation Resource Management Plan (Draft) Annotated Outline The recreation resource study area included all Project-related recreation facilities, sites, and use areas (developed and dispersed undeveloped); Project reservoirs; the Klamath River corridor connecting the Project reservoirs; and a general ¼-mile buffer around each reservoir (Keno reservoir/Lake Ewauna, J.C. Boyle reservoir, Copco reservoir, and Iron Gate reservoir) (Figure E7.1-1). Recreation resources within this study area were categorized into seven resource areas, though the Lower Klamath River Corridor was not analyzed to the same level of detail as the other six resource areas. The seven resource areas are as follows: • Link River/Lake Ewauna/Keno reservoir • J.C. Boyle reservoir • Upper Klamath River/Hell’s Corner reach • Copco reservoir • Iron Gate reservoir • Below Iron Gate dam • Lower Klamath River Corridor © February 2004 PacifiCorp Exhibit E Page 7-2 Exhibit E Recreation Resources.DOC LEGEND #* FISH HATCHERY !( DEVELOPED RECREATION SITE ! ! 21 22 23 DEVELOPED NON-PROJECT 19 20 !

  • Palynological Perspectives on Younger Dryas to Early Holocene Human Ecology at Paisley Caves, Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Chantel V. Saban for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology presented on May 11, 2015. Title: Palynological Perspectives on Younger Dryas to Early Holocene Human Ecology at Paisley Caves, Oregon Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Loren G. Davis The Younger Dryas climatic event is a global phenomenon associated with a 1,000 year return to glacial conditions during the late Pleistocene period between 12,800 and 11,500 cal BP. Because of its significant effects on paleoenvironmental conditions in some parts of the world, archaeologists commonly seek to assess whether the Younger Dryas climatic event had any measureable influence on prehistoric human societies. The early, well preserved archaeological and paleoenvironmental records held in the Paisley Caves site of Oregon’s Northern Great Basin provide an opportunity to examine questions human-environmental interaction at the end of the Pleistocene Epoch. Based on a study of pollen records and artifact frequency in the site’s Cave 2 deposits, this thesis reports a positive relationship between artifact deposition and marsh expansion in the Summer Lake sub- basin during the Younger Dryas chronozone. While not indicative of a major change in early forager cultural patterns in the Northern Great Basin, these results provide an important perspective on early settlement patterns and human ecology in the far western region of North America. © Copyright by Chantel V.

Malheur Lake Hutchinson’s classic, four-volume series, A Treatise on Limnology, theA pen-and-ink sketch on page 15 of Harney Lake Volume I is perhaps most intriguing. The Summer Lake sketch, credited to I.C. Russell (1895), depicts Oregon’s Lake Abert* lying on a tilted fault block in a region of the state Warner Valley Lakes called the high desert country. The caption Lake Abert refers to Lake Abert as a “beautiful example of a lake against a fault scarp.” Hutchinson’s expressive description befits the sketch, given that it is the only aesthetic rendition of a lake in his entire four-volume series. Russell was more pragmatic, as Hutchinson (1957) noted, calling Lake Abert the “finest example” of a lake of this type in the basin-and-range topography of the Great Basin (Figure 1). Native Americans lived along the shores of Lake Abert thousands of years before white men arrived in Figure 1. Photorealistic imagery of lakes in the Oregon high desert country.

Kovaichik, Associate Ecologist Those who participate in management of National Forests whether they are foresters, engineers, landscape architects, biologists, hydrologists, fuels managers, geologists, or any other specialists, must in reality WHY WE CLASSIFY function as applied ecologists a large part of the time. PLANT ASSOCIATIONS The reason is that all parts of the ecosystems we manage are linked, and any decisions or recommendation made about one part produces impacts in the other parts when implemented. Thus, an understanding of the interre- lationships between all the ecosystem components is essential to making good choices about land management. One way to index the nature of ecosystem components is through vegetation. Over time, a relatively stable group of plants, or plant association, comes into equilibrium with the physical, chemical and biological environment on a given site (Daubeninire 1968). By know- something about the habitat requirements of these plants, we can often infer a great deal about a site's characteristics, just by looking at the vegetation. William and Lillybridge (1983) highlight three areas where plant associations are most useful: In planning management strategies - evaluating productivity, resource condition and response to disturbance.
