Metolius Basin Forest Management Project Final Environmental Impact Statement METOLIUS BASIN FOREST MANAGEMENT PROJECT Final Environmental Impact Statement Jefferson County, Oregon Lead Agency: USDA Forest Service Responsible Official: Leslie Weldon Deschutes National Forest 1645 Highway 20 E Bend, OR 97701 For Information Contact: Kris Martinson, Project Leader Sisters Ranger District P.O. Box 249 Sisters, OR 97759 541-549-7730 Abstract: The USDA Forest Service is proposing to implement fuel reduction and forest health management activities in order to meet the goals of reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfire, insect or disease events in the project area; protecting people, property and tribal and natural resource values; restoring old-growth forests, and protecting water and soil quality. Proposed actions include thinning dense forest stands, burning surface fuels, mowing dense shrubs, and closing roads, on approximately 12,600 acres of National Forest lands. Approximately 1.6 miles of temporary roads may be developed to aid in the access to and removal of trees. An additional action would be a site-specific amendment of visual quality standards and guidelines in the Deschutes National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan to allow short-term visibility of thinning and burning activities. In addition, a site-specific, non-significant amendment of fuelwood standard and guideline in the Forest Plan is also proposed to allow the Forest Service to permit commercial and personal use fuelwood collection in the Metolius Heritage area. This project is located in the Metolius Basin on the Sisters Ranger District in Central Oregon. The entire project area is within a Late-Successional Reserve and encompasses a portion of the Metolius Basin Wild and Scenic River. Five alternatives were fully analyzed to gain an understanding of potential impacts of different strategies for meeting project goals. Alternative 3, as described and analyzed in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) is the Selected Alternative. Modifications have been incorporated into the Selected Alternative. The modifications included in the Selected Alternative are fully analyzed and disclosed in the different alternatives presented in the Draft and Final EIS and its associated specialists reports and appendices. The Record of Decision describes the Selected Alternative as Alternative 3 – Modified and the rationale for the decision. i Metolius Basin Forest Management Project Final Environmental Impact Statement TABLE OF CONTENTS Summary 3 Chapter 1.

Nine reaches were designated based on changes in channel morphology and contributions from major tributary junctions. The river channel was constrained by terraces and hillslopes. Land uses were mature trees (50-90cm dbh), large timber (30-50cm dbh), rural residential property, and second growth timber (15-30cm dbh). The crew floated the river with inflatable kayaks in the lower reaches (Reaches 1-4) where the river was too swift and deep for safe and accurate measurements by foot. The upper reaches (Reaches 5-9) of the river were surveyed by foot. Overall stream substrate was a combination of gravel (36%), sand (24%), cobble (18%), and silt and organic fines (11%). The stream habitat types were predominately riffles (50%), scour pools (28%), and rapids (14%). Large wood debris volume ranged from 1.5-17.8m3/100m. The trees observed most frequently in the riparian zones were conifers ranging from 3-50cm dbh (based on thirty-one riparian transects). REACH DESCRIPTIONS: Reach 1: (T12S-R09E-S02NE) Length 3029 meters. Reach 1 began at the confluence with Jefferson Creek and continued to Bridge 99.

  • Metolius River by Bart Wills the Metolius River Is a Spring-Dominated Tributary of the Deschutes River in Central Oregon
    Metolius River By Bart Wills The Metolius River is a spring-dominated tributary of the Deschutes River in central Oregon. The river is named for the Warm Springs Sahaptin word for "white fish," which refers to a light-colored Chinook salmon. The river is a sacred place for the Wasco, Warm Springs, and Northern Paiute of the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs, who have hunted, gathered, and fished from the river for thousands of years. The vibrant, crystalline, turquoise water of the twenty-nine-mile-long Metolius flows north from the base of Black Butte, passing the small community of Camp Sherman and eleven Forest Service campgrounds. After it passes Candle Creek, the river begins a relatively secluded journey, hooking east around Castle Rock, a nine-million-year-old volcanic plug, on the south and the Warm Springs Reservation to the north. The Metolius then flows southeast into Lake Billy Chinook, a reservoir, where it joins the Deschutes and Crooked Rivers. The portion of the Cascade Range immediately west of the Metolius valley is mostly younger than one million years—geologically young compared to the rest of the range. The moderate fault scarp, known as Green Ridge, has only 2,000 feet of vertical relief above the valley, with the rock at the top of the ridge preserving the geologic history of a slow collapse of volcanic lava flows five million years ago. Volcanic activity remained constant through time and continued to form new volcanoes, whose lava flows slowly filled the deep valley. Every hundred thousand years or so, the mountains were covered in hundreds of feet of ice, and glaciers ground down the volcanoes and deposited their remains in the valley as sediments of sand, gravel, and boulders.
