  • 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.

  • Nehalem River Watershed Assessment 1 1.0 Introduction
    Nehalem River Watershed Assessment 1 1.0 Introduction Purpose Watershed assessment is a process for evaluating how well a watershed is working. The purpose of this assessment was to determine how natural and human- induced changes have impacted the sustainability of salmon populations in the Nehalem River Watershed. Both historical and current information is included regarding the watershed’s ability to produce clean water and healthy salmon habitat. The assessment was prepared for the Upper and Lower Nehalem River Watershed Councils. It will be a baseline for developing and prioritizing potential restoration projects in terms of fish habitat. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) was used for much of the analysis and has been provided to the watershed councils. GWEB Draft Oregon Watershed Assessment Manual The assessment followed the procedures and guidelines described by the Governor’s Watershed Enhancement Board’s (GWEB) January 1999 Draft Oregon Watershed Assessment Manual. The riparian conditions component was started prior to 1999 and reflects the methodology described in the 1998 draft manual. The GWEB manual provides a consistent way of conducting watershed assessment. It is a framework for using existing data to evaluate important watershed components including historical conditions, channel habitat types, hydrology and water use, riparian conditions, sediment sources, water quality, channel modifications, and fish and fish habitat. Gaps in available data are identified and a summary of watershed conditions is included with recommendations for potential restoration projects. Background Physical Location The Nehalem River Watershed is located on the Oregon Coast. It lies completely within the temperate coniferous rain forest belt. Historically, the basin was dominated by old growth coniferous ecosystems with marshlands in the lower gradient areas and estuaries (Kostow, 1995).

  • 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.
