It is surrounded closely by the Coastal Range except at its southeast end, where the town of Tillamook sits near the mouths of the Kilchis, Wilson, Trask and Tillamook rivers, which flow quickly down from the surrounding timber-producing regions of the Coastal Range to converge at the bay. The short Miami River enters the north end of the bay. The small fishing village of Garibaldi sits near the cliffs opening of the Bayocean Park bay in the ocean. The rivers that feed the Resort bay are known for their prolific steelhead and salmon runs. The mixing of freshwater from the rivers with the ocean's saltwater makes the bay an estuary. The name "Tillamook" is a Coast Salish word meaning "Land of Many Waters", probably referring to the rivers that enter the bay. At the time of the arrival of Europeans, the area along the coast was inhabited by the Tillamook and other related Coast Salish tribes. The first American at Tillamook Bay was Captain Robert Gray who in August, 1788 arrived and explored the surrounding area. He was the first known American to set foot on Oregon shore. 6 2014-03-09 Peninsula also has deer, bobcats and elk.

  • Sediment Accumulation in Tillamook Bay, Oregon: Natural Processes Versus Human Impacts
    Sediment Accumulation in Tillamook Bay, Oregon: Natural Processes versus Human Impacts Paul D. Komar, James McManus, and Michael Styllas College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331, U.S.A. (e-mail: [email protected]) ABSTRACT Tillamook Bay on the northern Oregon coast has experienced significant sediment accumulation and shoaling. Anal- yses show that part of the increased sedimentation was a result of substantial human impacts in the watersheds of the five rivers that drain into the bay. River discharges were enhanced by approximately 13% during the period 1931– 1954, when commercial logging and a series of devastating forest fires occurred, compared with discharges in the years after reforestation. Potential annual sediment yields calculated from daily discharges were enhanced by 29% during 1931–1954, but actual yields would have been substantially greater as a result of increased erosion rates because of deforestation. Sand transported by the rivers consists primarily of rock fragments, in contrast to the quartz and feldspar sand carried into the bay from the ocean beach. Surface sediments collected throughout the bay consist, on average, of about 40% sand from the rivers and 60% from the ocean beach. Cores show increasing percentages of beach sand beneath the surface, with evidence for major episodic inputs rather than the higher percentages of river- derived rock fragments that human impacts would have produced. Subduction earthquakes have struck the Oregon coast repeatedly during the past several thousand years; the most recent was in January 1700. The down-core increase in beach-derived sand in Tillamook Bay is from sand transport by the tsunami that accompanied the 1700 earthquake and the deepening of the bay from land subsidence at the time of the earthquake, which permitted more frequent and extensive spit overwash events during storms.

  • History of the Siletz This Page Intentionally Left Blank for Printing Purposes
    History of the Siletz This page intentionally left blank for printing purposes. History of the Siletz Historical Perspective The purpose of this section is to discuss the historic difficulties suffered by ancestors of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (hereinafter Siletz Indians or Indians). It is also to promote understanding of the ongoing effects and circumstances under which the Siletz people struggle today. Since time immemorial, a diverse number of Indian tribes and bands peacefully inhabited what is now the western part of the State of Oregon. The Siletz Tribe includes approximately 30 of these tribes and bands.1 Our aboriginal land base consisted of 20 million acres located from the Columbia to the Klamath River and from the Cascade Range to the Pacific Ocean. The arrival of white settlers in the Oregon Government Hill – Siletz Indian Fair ca. 1917 Territory resulted in violations of the basic principles of constitutional law and federal policy. The 1787 Northwest Ordinance set the policy for treatment of Indian tribes on the frontier. It provided as follows: The utmost good faith shall always be observed toward the Indians; their land and property shall never be taken from them without their consent; and in the property, rights, and liberty, they never shall be invaded, or disturbed, unless in just, and lawful wars authorized by Congress; but laws founded in justice and humanity shall from time to time be made for preventing wrongs being done to them, and for preserving peace, and friendship with them. 5 Data was collected from the Oregon 012.5 255075100 Geospatial Data Clearinghouse.

  • Tillamook Bay Watershed
    Tillamook Bay Watershed (Portions extracted from “Tillamook Bay Environmental Characterization: A Scientific and Technical Summary”, Tillamook Bay National Estuary Project, July 1998) WATER QUALITY CONCERNS: The federal Clean Water Act (CWA) requires each state to undertake specific activities to protect the quality of their rivers, estuaries and lakes. DEQ is required to develop and implement water quality standards that protect sensitive beneficial uses of waters throughout Oregon. Section 303(d) of the CWA requires each state to develop a list of waters that do not meet the water quality standards. These are called Water Quality Limited waters. The Tillamook Bay Watershed is Water Quality Limited for Temperature and Bacteria. The number of segments and parameters that exceed water quality standards in the Tillamook Watershed are summarized below. In addition, sedimentation is a parameter of concern throughout the basin and several sloughs in the lower watershed have low dissolved oxygen levels. For more information on streams that are listed in the Tillamook watershed, go to: http://waterquality.deq.state.or.us/WQLData/SubBasinList98.asp. Water Quality Limited Waters in Tillamook (from 1998 303(d) List) Total Number of Water Bodies Listed 20 Parameter Number of Segments Listed Bacteria 15 Temperature 12 Total Maximum Daily Loads: The CWA further requires DEQ to develop Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for all water quality limited waters. Generally speaking, TMDLs define the maximum amount of controllable impacts a water body can accept and still assure that designated beneficial uses are being adequately protected. DEQ has developed TMDLs for temperature and bacteria in the Tillamook Bay Watershed.

  • RESULTS of BACTERIA SAMPLING in the WILSON RIVER Joseph M
    RESULTS OF BACTERIA SAMPLING IN THE WILSON RIVER Joseph M. Bischoff and Timothy J. Sullivan April 1999 Report Number 97-16-02 E&S Environmental Chemistry, Inc. P.O. Box 609 Corvallis, OR 97339 ABSTRACT Water quality monitoring was conducted at eight sites on the Wilson River during the period late September, 1997 through early March, 1998, from river mile 8.6 to river mile 0.2 near where the river enters Tillamook Bay. Samples were collected approximately weekly by the Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA) during the course of the study, plus at more frequent intervals during two storm events in October, 1997 and March, 1998. Samples were analyzed by TCCA for fecal coliform bacteria (FCB) and E. coli. E&S Environmental Chemistry, Inc. provided the data analysis and presentation for this report. FCB concentrations and loads in the Wilson River were higher by a factor of two during the October, 1997 storm than during any of the other five storms monitored by TCCA or E&S. Similar results were found for the Tillamook and Trask Rivers by Sullivan et al. (1998b). Lowest loads in the Wilson River were found during the monitored spring storms in 1997 (by E&S) and 1998 (this study). By far the highest FCB loads were contributed by the land areas that drain into Site 7 (in the mixing zone just below the TCCA outfall) during the October 1997 and March 1998 storms. This site was the only site in the Wilson River basin that has contributing areas occupied by urban land use. Relatively high FCB loads were also found at a variety of other sites.

  • Tillamook Bay Fish Use of the Estuary
    1999 Monitoring Report TILLAMOOK BAY FISH USE OF THE ESTUARY Prepared for The Tillamook Bay National Estuary Project And Tillamook County Cooperative Partnership Garibaldi, Oregon Prepared by Robert H. Ellis, Ph. D. Ellis Ecological Services, Inc 20988 S. Springwater Rd. Estacada, Oregon 97023 October 22, 1999 SUMMARY In 1999, a Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) was completed for the Tillamook Bay watershed. The CCMP lays out a variety of management actions designed, in part, to achieve the goal of protecting and restoring estuarine habitat for improvement of the fishery resources of Tillamook Bay and its watershed. Baseline information on the present status of the estuary's fish community and periodic updating of the baseline information through monitoring were identified as essential for evaluation of the CCMP's management actions. This study was conducted to describe the present status of the fish community in Tillamook Bay and to design and test a long-term monitoring strategy for fish. The study was conducted during the summer and autumn of 1998 and the spring and summer of 1999. The fish sampling done in 1998 was used to provide an estuary-wide overview of the fish species composition and relative abundance during the mid-summer period and to test sampling gear and sampling strategies for development of a long-term monitoring program. The sampling conducted in 1999 built upon the information gained in 1998 and provided an initial test of a sampling design for long-term monitoring of the Bay's fish community. Current fish use of the estuary was described by updating the comprehensive fish survey data collected by Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) during the mid- 1970s.
