    Coarse Woody Debris in Streams of the Drift Creek Basin, Oregon by Curt N. Veldhuisen A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Completed February 20, 1990 Commencement June 1990 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Curt N. Veldhuisenfor the degree of Master of Science in Forest Engineeringpresented on February 27, 1990. Title: Coarse Woody Debris in Streams of the Drift Creek Basin. Oregon Abstract Approved: Robert L. Beschta This study examined the occurrence ofcoarse woody debris (i.e., pieces greater than 0.15m in diameter and 2.0 m in length) in first- through fifth-order streams located within the Drift Creek Basin of the Oregon Coast Range. Nine "tributary reachest were surveyed to determine how three land management treatments (undisturbed, patch clearcut with buffer strip, and entirely clearcut) and/or geomorphologywere associated with CWD loadings or piece characteristics. An additional 45 km of third- to fifth-order channelswere surveyed to identify CWD distribution patternsover changing stream size. All surveys recorded channel characteristics and the dimensions and attributes ofeach CWD piece. Coarse woody debris loadings varied greatly (11 to 62 pieces/lOOm, 0.3 to 4.3 m3/100m2 of inchannelvolume) between the tributary reaches, but were not significantly (p > 0.10) related to harvest treatment. However, reaches associated with clearcut treatment containedless hardwood CWD and pieces were significantly shorter, and more decayed than in the other treatments. This suggested that little CWD recruitment had occurred in the 15 to 20 years since harvest. The undisturbed and buffer strip tributaries contained CWD that reflected continued recruitment of both hardwood and conifer trees.

II INDEX GUIDE III INDEX GUIDE IV INDEX GUIDE v STREET GUIDE (QUICK REFERENCE)) . SECTION 1 STREET NAMES AND DESCRIPTION . SECTION2 MAJOR FOREST SERVICE ROADS SECTION 3 MAPS. SECTION 4 COPYRIGHT @ 2009 by LINCOLN COUNTY, a Political subdivision of the State of Oregon I PREFACE This is the fourteenth edition of the Lincoln County Street Location Index (S.L.I.). It is a numerical and alphabetical listing of all officially adopted or established street names in Lincoln County. The S.L.I. was primarily developed to assist emergency service personnel; however, it has also proven beneficial for delivery agencies and motorists in helping them find their way around Lincoln County. Some study of the Index Guides, which are located in the front of this book, is highly recommended to receive the most benefit from this book. Once you, the reader, have become familiar with the S.L.I.'s method and format of description information, the Index can become an indispensable street location tool. It has been about 2 years since the last edition; however, there are a few new streets that are listed in this Index that were never included before. In addition, a continuing audit has resulted in many revised street names and descriptions. Please report any erroneous information you may find to the Lincoln County Addressing Department. The final section of this book, as before, consists of a set of maps that are referred to in the description information for each street listed.
