Eastern Washington Pheasant Release Program The number of pheasants released on each site is based on several factors including the estimated numbers of hunters using those sites.

This part of the state has retained a stable pheasant population over the years. Similar population of pheasants can be found near irrigated farms of the Columbia and Yakima river basin. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers own many of the pheasant release sites in these counties. The sites are managed for wildlife as part of the Snake and Columbia River dam mitigation. In addition to public lands, WDFW’s Private Lands Access Program has over 300,000 acres of private land open for hunting under access agreements in Region 1. A small number of pheasants are released on some of these lands. For maps and information about private and public hunting lands, please visit WDFW's online mapping REGION 1 program Go Hunt at www.

  • Washington Grain Train
    How does the Washington Grain Train generate revenues? Washington Usage fees for grain cars are generated on the BNSF Railroad based on a combination of mileage traveled and number of days on that railroad (time and mileage). The further the car travels Grain Train and the longer it is on a particular railroad, the more money the car earns. The shuttle service between grain elevators and the barge terminal in Wallula use a different system. A car use fee per trip was June 2011 established for the shuttle service based on estimates of time and mileage. One car use fee was established for shipments on the PV Hooper rail line, and another for the BLMR. These fees are deposited directly into accounts managed by each of the three Grain Train Revolving Fund (Washington State-Owned Cars) port districts. These funds are used for grain car maintenance, car tracking, and Dollars in millions eventual car replacement (based on a 20- $1.4 year depreciation schedule). A portion of $1.2 these fees are also set aside and used as $1.0 a “reserve” fund that is periodically tapped for fleet expansion. $0.8 Once the reserve fund has grown large $0.6 enough to purchase rail cars and there is $0.4 a demonstrated need for additional cars, WSDOT can instruct the port districts to $0.2 send funds to a rail car sales firm selected $0 by WSDOT. This firm then delivers the cars 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 to Washington for rehabilitation and then Twenty nine additional grain hopper rail cars were purchased in 2010.

HUNTTING, Supervisor Bulletin No. 45 WASHINGTON'S CHANNELED SCABLAND By .T HARLEN BRETZ l•or sate by Department or Conservation, Olympia, Washington. Price, 50 cents. FOREWORD Most travelers who have driven through eastern Washington have seen a geologic and scenic feature that is unique-nothing like it is to be found anywhere else in the world. This is the Channeled Scab­ land, a gigantic series of deeply cut channels in the erosion-resistant Columbia River basalt, the rock that covers most of the east-central and southeastern part of the state. Grand Coulee, with its spectac­ ular Dry Falls, is one of the most widely known features of this ex­ tensive set of dry channels. Many thousands of travelers must have wondered how this Chan­ neled Scabland came into being, and many geologists also have speculated as to its origin. Several geologists have published papers outlining their theories of the scabland's origin, but the geologist who has made the most thorough study of the problem and has ex­ amined the whole area and all the evidence having a bearing on the problem is Dr. J Harlen Bretz.

Representatives Val Ogden from Washington and Chris Beck from Oregon spoke in support of full funding for Gorge protection. More than 20 people testified during public comment.
