Forest Plan directs that watershed be analysis completed prior to significant management activities on Federal lands within watershed In order to understand how activities affect the within management may ecosystem processes watershed it is necessary to consider all lands in watershed regardless of jurisdiction or ownership National Forest lands in the Caiapooia Watershed amount to less than 11 percent of the total acres The Weyerhaeuser Company owns approximately68 percent of the lands within the watershed Due to the mutual of the Forest Service and the for interests U.S Weyerhaeuser Company scientifically sound information and coordination of analysis at the watershed scale the two parties entered into Challenge Cost-Share agreement to produce Watershed Analysis of the Calapooia Watershed The Weyerhaeuser Company completed an analysis of the watershed based on the Standard Methodology for Conducting Watershed Analysis Version 4.0 Washington Forest Practices Board 1997 This methodology concentrates on five areas of iuterest mass wasting surface erosion riparian functioning hydrology and anadromous fish and their habitat The Synthesis section this of analysis contains review of land ownership patterns and land use history This supplement to the Calapooia Watershed Analysis will incorporate the findings of the Weyerhaeuser analysis as well as information germain to National Forest management in order to identify key issues and management recommendations for management of National Forest lands in the watershed It incorporates information from reports written or data collected for each It is core topic somewhat general in nature but is based on great amount of detail that is found in these reports or analysis files They are listed in the Appendix of this document and can be obtained from the Sweet Home Ranger District office or the Willamette National Forest Office if Supervisors more in-depth information is desired The Federal Guide for Ecosystem at the Watershed Analysis Scale version 2.2 provided guidance for the process The Place The portion of the Calapdoia watershed under Federal ownership is located in eastern Linn in the County Oregon headwaters of the Calapooia River Figure The Calapooia is watershed tributary to the Willamette Basin which is part of the Columbia River system Approximately 11% of the watershed is managed by the Willamette National Forest and the the majority of remainder is owned by industrial timber companies most notably the The District of the Bureau of Land Weyerhaeuser Company Eugene Management manages less than 3% of the watershed The watershed is within the Western Cascades totally physiographic province and the range of the Northern Spotted Owl USFS Supplement to the Calapooia Watershed Analysis

are managed by the Eugene District under the 1994 Resource Management Plan Issues and Key Questions The issues and key questions were initially developed by Sweet Home Ranger District personnel at meeting on August 1998 The Core Team further sorted developed and refined those issues and key questions Fire/Hazard Level Relationships Conditions in this watershed indicate that large high intensity stand replacement fires 1000s of acres occur infrequently Moderate intensity fires are more frequent and have created patches 5-5 00 acres of younger stands within these large blocks The watershed is nearing the end of the current large fire return interval 400-600 years as well as the moderate intensity fire return interval 150-200 years Fire suppression activities of the last century may have allowed more down wood to accumulate on south-facing slopes and more understory to develop than would be found under natural fire regime Due to an abundance of flashy fuels there is high fire hazard

  • Volume II Willamette Spring Chinook
    Oregon Native Fish Status Report – Volume II Willamette Spring Chinook Existing Populations The Willamette Spring Chinook SMU consists of six populations (Table 63). The status of four of these populations including the Molalla, South Santiam, Calapooia, and Upper Willamette is somewhat uncertain. Little is known about these populations, but what is known indicates that the native populations are extremely depressed. While some natural spawning occurs, it is likely that these spawners are the offspring of naturally-spawning hatchery fish since hatchery fish comprise almost the entire naturally-spawning population each year in these basins. Future inventory work is needed for these populations so that they may be more appropriately assessed. Table 63. Population list and existence status for the Willamette Spring Chinook SMU. Exist Population Description Yes Molalla Molalla River basin. Yes North Santiam North Santiam River basin. Yes South Santiam South Santiam River basin. Yes Calapooia Calapooia River basin. Yes McKenzie McKenzie River basin. Yes Upper Willamette Willamette River basin upstream from mouth of McKenzie River. Habitat Use Distribution The distribution criterion was based on proportions of accessible and inaccessible habitat. It must be recognized that these estimates are derived at the 1:100,000 scale and thus will not capture habitat lost in many smaller (1:24,000) streams resulting from barriers such as culverts. Habitat lost in smaller streams will vary by population, but is not likely to account for 50% of any population, and thus does not alter assessment outcomes derived using data at the 1:100,000 scale. Data presented in this report on accessibility of habitat should be viewed as general approximations and not as a definitive analysis on habitat availability/accessibility.

    Chapter 5 State(s): Oregon Recovery Unit Name: Willamette River Recovery Unit Region 1 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Portland, Oregon DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate reasonable actions that are believed necessary to recover and protect listed species. Plans are prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and, in this case, with the assistance of recovery unit teams, contractors, State and Tribal agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views or the official positions or indicate the approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Recovery plans represent the official position of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the Director or Regional Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks.

  • Four Deaths: the Near Destruction of Western
    DAVID G. LEWIS Four Deaths The Near Destruction of Western Oregon Tribes and Native Lifeways, Removal to the Reservation, and Erasure from History THE NOTIONS OF DEATH and genocide within the tribes of western Oregon are convoluted. History partially records our removal and near genocide by colonists, but there is little record of the depth of these events — of the dramatic scale of near destruction of our peoples and their cultural life ways. Since contact with newcomers, death has come to the tribes of western Oregon in a variety of ways — through epidemic sicknesses, followed by attempted genocide, forced marches onto reservations, reduction of land holdings, broken treaty promises, attempts to destroy tribal culture through assimilation, and the termination of federal recognition of sovereign, tribal status. Death, then, has been experienced literally, culturally, legally, and even in scholarship; for well over a century, tribal people were not consulted and were not adequately represented in historical writing. Still, the people have survived, restoring their recognized tribal status and building structures to maintain and regain the people’s health and cultural well-being. This legacy of death and survival is shared by all the tribes of Oregon, though specific details vary, but the story is not well known or understood by the state’s general public. Such historical ignorance is another kind of death — one marked by both myth and silence. An especially persistent myth is the notion that there lived and died a “last” member of a particular tribe or people. The idea began in the late nineteenth century, when social scientists who saw population declines at the reservations feared that the tribes would die off before scholars could collect their data and complete their studies.

  • Willamette River Oregon Chub
    Oregon Native Fish Status Report – Volume II Willamette River Oregon Chub Interim Risk Assessment Oregon chub (Oregonichthys crameri), small minnows endemic to the Willamette Valley, were federally listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act in 1993. Factors implicated in their decline included loss of habitat and predation and competition by non-native fish species (USFWS 1998). Historically, this species was widely distributed throughout the Willamette Valley (Markle et al. 1991). Oregon chub prefer off-channel habitats with minimal or no flow, an abundance of vegetation, and depositional substrate including sloughs, backwater pools, stable beaver ponds, oxbows, and low gradient tributaries (Pearsons 1989; Scheerer and McDonald 2003). The status of the Willamette River Oregon Chub SMU was assessed by compiling the results of assessments of each constituent population. For each interim criterion, the designation of “pass” or “fail” for the SMU was dependant on the percentage of populations passing a particular criterion. The SMU passed each criterion if 80% of the constituent populations passed that particular criterion. If a pass/fail designation could not be made at the population level, then those populations were not incorporated into the SMU level assessment. The Willamette River Oregon chub SMU is classified as “at risk” because three of the six interim criteria were met. Existing Populations The Willamette River Oregon chub SMU is comprised of 15 populations that were once a large metapopulation. Currently eight populations exist. One large population dominates the SMU (Middle Fork Willamette River). Six smaller populations exist in the North Santiam River, South Santiam River, Mid Willamette River, McKenzie River, Marys River, and Coast Fork Willamette River (Scheerer et al.

The abundance of the area's fossil wood is evident even to the casual traveler. It may be seen crushed or as fill in driveways, in fences and retaining walls, and in decorative garden work. Larger pi eces -- stumps and logs -- mark driveway entrances and hold up mailboxes; barn floors have been built of it and abandoned wells filled with it. Farm people of an earlier day considered it a great nuisance -- a feeling perhaps carried over, justifiably, by today's landowners at times harried by avid rock hunters. Of particular interest to the author is a small area near Holley which has yielded, and which still contains, much significant paleobotanical material in the form of al­ most perfectly preserved and exquisitely detailed silicified fossil woods with much variety as to species. This small area is on the J. J. Marker ranch (SWa sec. 12, T. 14 S., R.
