  • State Highway Department
    Description of WOrk of the State Highway Department in the Counties of the State 1923 -1924 BAKER COUNTY There was less activity in highway constructjon in Baker County dur- ing the biennium just past than in previousyears. However, the main trunk line highway known as the Old Oregon Trailwas completed during this period, and some work was doneon the Baker-Cornucopia and the Baker-Unity Highways. The work on the Baker-Cornucopia Highway involved theconstruction of the grade down the Powder River Canyon, which eliminated the high Sparta summit and materially improved existing communicationbetween the Eagle and Pine Valleys and Baker.However, there still remains a very bad section between Middle Bridge and Love Bridge, and the section between Black Bridge and Richland, through the Dry Gulch country, is impassable to automobile traffic during the spring of theyear. On the Baker-Unity Highway the gradeon both sides of Dooley Moun- tain was completed. Those who were forced to travel the old mountain grade, which was narrow, crooked, and in places reacheda gradient of 22 per cent, will appreciate traveling over thenew highway now open to traffic. The total length of grading completed in Baker County during the past biennium was 18.11 miles, of which 8.95 mileswere surfaced. in addition to this work there were 25.90 miles surveyed. The Baker County bond issue of 1918, amounting to $500,000,was in- sufficient to meet the State in cooperating to complete the state highways through the county, and on November 4, 1924,an additional $500,00G was voted to complete the Baker-Cornucopia and the Baker-Unity High- ways.

FEMA awarded the grant to support the update of natural hazards mitigation plans for eight counties in the region. The region’s planning process utilized a four- phased planning process and plan development support provided by the University of Oregon’s Institute for Policy Research and Engagement (IPRE) which includes the Resource Assistance for Rural Environments (RARE), and the Oregon Partnership for Disaster Resilience (OPDR). This project would not have been possible without technical and financial support provided by the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD).

  • City of John Day Comprehensive Plan
    CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT The John Day City Planning Commission is the City’s Committee for Citizen Involvement (CCI) and has been since the City’s earliest involvement in the Oregon planning process. Cities and counties were required to establish Citizen Involvement Committees (CICs) to aid in the planning process by ensuring the public had the opportunity to participate in the formulation and adoption of the Comprehensive Plan and Implementing Ordinances. The process has now evolved to a point where there are formalized notice processes for most land use actions, including Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map Amendments contained within the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance, including such things as variances, conditional uses, partitions, and subdivisions. Legislative amendments are normally broadly advertised in the local newspaper and other media venues to provide an opportunity for the general public to be involved in the planning process. All public hearings, both legislative and quasi judicial, and Planning Commission workshops are open public meetings and subject to the Oregon Open Public Meeting law. The policies of citizen involvement remain the same. 1. To conduct periodic community surveys as deemed necessary to ascertain public opinion and collect information. 2. To provide the opportunity for people to attend and participate in Planning Commission and City Council meetings and hearings and provide ample public notice thereof. 3. To establish citizen advisory committees as deemed necessary or advisable to study community problems and make recommendations for their solution. 4. To make future Comprehensive Plan changes and revisions available for public review and comment. 5. To make technical reports available for public inspection.

In the autumn of 1852, the young Reverend Condon and his wife, representing the Home Missi onary Board of the Congregati onal Church, sai led from New York around the Horn to San Francisc o, and fr om there continued their trip to Oreg on. Mr. Condon was forced to leave behind him his ge ology books and his collecti ons of rocks and fossils, which were his hobby . But on ce settled at his first church in St. Helens, Oregon, he soon began to ob serve the geologic formati on s about him, and noted in his first rep ort to the Home Missi on ary Board that the village was "built on a bl uff of porous volcanic rock."

  • 1.0 Purpose and Need for Action
    Starr Rock Pit Project Environmental Assessment Chapter 1 — Purpose and Need 1.0 Purpose and Need for Action 1.1 Introduction The Blue Mountain Ranger District, Malheur National Forest, is proposing the expansion of the Starr Rock Pit (as referred to as the Pit) to provide a long-term, economical, and readily accessible source of aggregate material that meets quality standards for transportation projects. Use of the pit is consistent with the Regional Memorandum of Understanding between USDS Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Region and State of Oregon Department of Transportation (Appendix A). A permit for expansion and use of the rock pit would be issued to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for a 10 year period. As part of the expansion, a site specific non-significant Forest Plan amendment would be required to harvest live trees 21 inch diameter at breast height (dbh) or greater. This Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and other relevant Federal and State laws and regulations. This EA discloses the direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental impacts that would result from the proposed action and alternatives. The document is organized into four parts: Chapter 1: Purpose and Need: This chapter discusses the regulatory direction, federal and state regulations, purpose of and need for the Project, and scope of the analysis. Chapter 2: Alternatives: This chapter provides a detailed discussion of issues identified from scoping comments received. It describes the issues that were used to develop alternatives. The alternatives are described in detail, along with design criteria and mitigation measures.
