    Section 319 NONPOINT SOURCE PROGRAM SUCCESS STORY Watershed Approach Reduces Pollution in the TualatinOregon River Nonpoint and point sources of pollution caused water quality Waterbodies Improved problems in Oregon’s Tualatin River basin. As a result, between 1998 and 2002 the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) added 31 segments to the state’s Clean Water Act section 303(d) list of impaired waters for one or more of the following pollutants: temperature, bacteria, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll a, toxics (arsenic, iron and manganese), biological criteria and low pH. Using a watershed-based approach, stakeholders have upgraded wastewater treatment plants, restored riparian areas, and implemented agricultural and urban best management practices (BMPs). Data show that levels of many pollutants have declined significantly. Problem Photo by M.O. Stevens The Tualatin River drains 27 sub-basins across a 712-square-mile area and empties into the Willamette River in the northwest corner of Oregon (Figure 1). The basin is fairly evenly divided among forest (39 percent), agriculture (35 percent) and urban (26 percent) land uses. Wastewater treatment plant discharge and runoff from agricultural, forested and urban areas con- tributed multiple pollutants to the Tualatin River. Low dissolved oxygen, elevated pH and high chlorophyll a levels in the river prompted ODEQ to develop total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for ammonia and phosphorus in 1988. In 2001 ODEQ Figure 1. The lower Tualatin River, near Sherwood, revised those TMDLs and developed new TMDLs Oregon. for additional parameters (temperature, bacteria and dissolved oxygen). By 2002, 31 segments across and protect stream channels and riparian, upland, 27 Tualatin River sub-basins had been identified as wetland and urban areas.

    GALES CREEK WATERSHED ASSESSMENT PROJECT Prepared by Nancy Breuner Resource Assistance for Rural Environments Tualatin River Watershed Council September 1998 Abstract This document is the Gales Creek Watershed Assessment Report prepared for the Tualatin River Watershed Council. This report contains detailed information about the Gales Creek Watershed and follows the guidelines described in the 1997 Draft Governor’s Watershed Enhancement Board’s Oregon Watershed Assessment Manual. It was written to partially satisfy the watershed assessment action item #1described in the Tualatin River Watershed Council’s Action Plan. This report should be periodically updated, as new information becomes available. Acknowledgement The completion of the Gales Creek Watershed Assessment Project was accomplished through the combined efforts of private citizens, students, private and non-profit organizations, and local and state agencies. Production of this document was made possible with assistance from the Washington County Soil and Water Conservation District and Unified Sewerage Agency. Geographic Information System maps were compiled by Interrain Pacific. Technical advice for the report was provided by the Tualatin River Watershed Council’s Technical Assistance Committee made up of local and regional experts.

  • The Tualatin River Watershed Balancing People, Nature and Water
    The Tualatin River Watershed Balancing People, Nature and Water Every day, half a million people depend on the Tualatin River. Regardless of what we do or where we live, our personal wellness, economic prosperity and environmental health are tied directly to the water that flows from Oregon’s Coast Range to the Willamette River — through forests, farms and urban backyards. An incredible diversity of birds, fish and other wildlife depend on the river as well. The river and its tributaries weave us together. Fifty years ago, the Tualatin River Basin was under tremendous pressure from agriculture, industry and population growth. River flows were reduced to a trickle, wetlands were drying up and wildlife habitat was disappearing. Water pollution was so severe that the state imposed a building moratorium. At risk was the well-being of everyone who called Washington County home. The community responded with a resounding commitment to rescue the river, and an exciting restoration movement was born. Thanks to the combined and enduring efforts from communities across the region, Mother Nature is making a comeback and people are discovering ways to live, work and recreate in harmony with the Tualatin River. Catalyzing Change Clean Water Services has been caring for the Tualatin River Watershed in Washington County, Oregon, since 1970. The first 30 years were all about the traditional use of pipes, pumps and plants to clean water. Over time, Clean Water Services expanded its mission to include watershed restoration and resource recovery. A commitment was made to strengthen the connections between a healthy river and a prosperous economy.

Water Quality Data 45 ii ABSTRACT We conducted fish, habitat, and water quality surveys on ten tributaries of the Tualatin River and two reaches of the upper Tualatin River as part of an effort to assess the biotic health of the watershed. We sampled lower, middle, and upper reaches of most streams. Habitat surveys were conducted in the summers of 1999 and 2000, whereas fish and water quality surveys were conducted in summer, fall, winter, and spring 1999-2001. Periodic monitoring is needed to ensure that important habitat and existing populations of native fish are protected. We found 16 fish species from 7 families during seasonal sampling. The native reticulate sculpin Cottus perplexus, was the most abundant and widely distributed species. Accounting for 62.6% of our total catch, the reticulate sculpin was found in all stream reaches sampled.

    Department of Energy Bonneville Power Administration P.O. Box 3621 Portland, Oregon 97208-3621 ENVIRONMENT, FISH AND WILDLIFE July 15, 2015 In reply refer to: KEC-4 To: Parties Interested in the Proposed Atfalati Pairie Land Acquisition under the 2010 Willamette Wildlife Habitat Agreement The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) intends to fund the purchase of approximately 213 acres of floodplain, riparian and wet prairie habitats, located along the Tualatin River in Washington County, Oregon state. When the purchase is complete Columbia Land Trust will own and manage the property for fish and wildlife conservation purposes and BPA will receive a conservation easement to ensure that the habitat values on the property are always protected. BPA is sending this letter to inform nearby residents and other interested parties of this land purchase. Funding this land purchase partially fulfills commitments made by BPA in the 2010 “Willamette River Basin Memorandum of Agreement Regarding Wildlife Habitat Protection and Enhancement between the State of Oregon and the Bonneville Power Administration.” This is part of ongoing efforts to mitigate for the impacts to fish and wildlife from the construction and operation of federal flood control and hydroelectric facilities in the Willamette River Basin. When the transaction is complete, this property will become one of a growing network of conservation lands in the Willamette Valley providing important and long lasting fish and wildlife habitat benefits. Conserving habitat on the Tualatin River property also partially fulfills BPA’s habitat restoration and protection responsibilities under the Willamette Project Biological Opinions (NMFS 2008, USFWS 2008). Enclosed you will find a map detailing this land transaction.
