Willamette Basin Review Feasibility Study
US Army Corps of Engineers Portland District Willamette Basin Review Feasibility Study DRAFT Integrated Feasibility Report and Environmental Assessment November 2017 Willamette Basin Review Feasibility Study Executive Summary The Willamette River basin is located entirely within the state of Oregon, beginning south of Cottage Grove, and extending approximately 187 miles to the north where the Willamette River flows into the Columbia River. The basin is more than 11,200 square miles, averages 75 miles in width, and encompasses approximately 12 percent of the total area of the state (Figure ES-1). Within the watershed are most of the state’s population (nearly 70 percent), larger cities, and major industries. The basin also contains some of Oregon’s most productive agricultural lands and supports nationally and regionally important fish and wildlife species. Thirteen of Oregon’s thirty-six counties intersect or lie within the boundary of the Willamette River basin. Through a series of Flood Control Acts the U.S. Congress authorized the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to construct, operate, and maintain thirteen major dams1 in the Willamette River basin. Collectively, these dams, reservoirs and associated infrastructure are known as the Willamette Valley Project (WVP). With a combined conservation storage capacity of approximately 1,590,000 acre-feet, the WVP is capable of providing important benefits for flood damage reduction, navigation, hydropower, irrigation, municipal and industrial water supply, flow augmentation for pollution abatement and improved conditions for fish and wildlife, and recreation. Feasibility Study History The Willamette Basin Review Feasibility Study began in 1996 to investigate future Willamette River basin water demand. -
WIN Quarterly: Summer 2020
WIN Quarterly: Summer 2020 Greetings, friends and colleagues, I hope you all had a relaxing weekend. It sure felt a little different, this year! The relative calm of the holiday gave me a chance to think about what Independence Day means to me, how that may differ from others and a chance to finish working through my thoughts about Juneteenth. We just declared Juneteenth a holiday at CPRCD and, considering current events, it felt weird to take a day off for the holiday. Ultimately, I did what many privileged white folk do and I donated some money to a charity and went about my day (HBCU Foundation). I instantly felt guilty and knew I needed to do better, so I'm working on that. When congress passed the Lee Resolution on July 2nd, 1776 I would bet that few foresaw another seven years of war with the British. Similarly, I can only imagine that people of color in the United States did not anticipate their fight to continue for another 155 years after Major General Gordon Granger read General Order No. 3 in Galveston on June 19th, 1865. For my whole life, I've celebrated an independence from a "tyranny" I never experienced. What I've really celebrated was my privilege. In fact, I would've been on the other side as my great grandfathers and great uncles were generals for the British Army; one of the former leading numerous decimations of the Americans during the Revolutionary War until being crushed at Yorktown; one of the latter leading the British to victory at the Battle of Alexandria. -

Fish Screening Exemption Proposal
BakerCounty MasonDamHydroelectricProject _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ FishScreeningExemptionProposal October2013 Introduction: Baker County is seeking an exemption from screening for the existing Mason Dam in the following proposal. On April 30, 2013 Baker County filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for a new hydroelectric license at the existing Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) Mason Dam. Because of the addition of the hydroelectric project this triggers Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 498.301 through 351 screening criteria. The following proposal provides background describing the project, a summary of the project impacts from the Entrainment and Mortality report, Baker County’s proposed mitigation and an explanation of how those measures will provide resource protection. Background: Existing Project Mason Dam is located in Baker County, Oregon approximately 11 miles southwest of Baker City on State Highway 7(Figure1). Mason Dam was built by the BOR on the Powder River for irrigation, water delivery and flood control. Mason Dam was constructed from 1965 – 1968 and has a total height of 173 feet and a maximum hydraulic height of 157 feet. Phillips Reservoir is a 2,234 acre-reservoir that was formed by the construction of Mason Dam. The reservoir has a total storage capacity of 95,500 acre-feet and an active storage capacity of 90,500 acre-feet. Existing Operation Water is generally stored between October through March with some releases above the minimum flow starting to occur in late March through April. Irrigation season starts in May and runs through September. Releases average approximately 10 cubic feet per second (cfs) between October and January, increase to an average of 20 to 50 cfs during February and March, gradually increasing to 100 cfs during April to early-May. -

Implications of Fish Stocking at Waldo Lake, Oregon by Jessica Bliss
Implications of Fish Stocking at Waldo Lake, Oregon by Jessica Bliss Nearly a century of fish stocking at Waldo Lake, Oregon, has had a visible effect on the lake’s limnological properties. The renowned ultraoligotrophic waters of Waldo Lake witnessed an increase in nutrient concentrations, a decrease in zooplankton diversity, and reduced clarity as a result of the introduction of over 20 million fish between 1912 and 1990. Human use of the area has increased considerably over the last 49 years, requiring adjustments to the way Waldo Lake is managed. The termination of fish stocking at Waldo in 1991 suggests a shift in management priorities: recreation in this case did not take precedence over science or conservation. Independent research regarding the lake’s unique characteristics complements considerable public interest in maintaining the lake’s pristine quality. The combination of these two factors is the primary reason for the continued ban on fish stocking at Waldo Lake. I. Background: Basic Biology and Settler Use of Waldo Lake Waldo Lake, the headwaters of the North Fork of the Willamette River, is located approximately 110 km east of Eugene, Oregon, on the north side of State Highway 58. Waldo stretches 9.6 kilometers in length and 2.65 kilometers in width, giving it a total surface area of roughly 26 sq. km and making it the second largest lake in the Oregon Cascades. Its maximum depth (128 m), located at its southern basin, is considerably greater than its mean depth (39 m). Its elevation (1,650 meters above median sea level) and water clarity (Secchi-disk reading 40.5m) classify Waldo Lake as an ultraoligotrophic high-mountain lake (Bronmark 175, Larson 2000: 6). -

Salmon and Trout Enhancement Program 2017-2018 Executive Summary LEGISLATIVE REPORT This annual legislative report summarizes the activities and accomplishments of The Salmon and Trout Enhancement Program (STEP) STEP volunteer efforts from October 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018. STEP activities are integral are valued at to accomplishing Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (ODFW) fish management objectives. During the 2017-2018 period, statewide STEP volunteer $2,830,000 efforts involved 2,250 young and 4,950 adult volunteers equaling 38 full-time annually equivalents (FTEs). STEP volunteer efforts are valued at $2,830,000. The types of projects conducted through STEP reflect the diverse ways that volunteers can assist with fish and habitat management needs throughout Oregon. The issues and priorities within individual watersheds are often unique to those areas and the focus of STEP efforts can vary across the state. Generally, activities can be grouped into four main categories. EDUCATION AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT INVENTORY AND MONITORING 66,350 people Nearly 660 volunteers participated in STEP contributed to fish monitoring educational activities and inventory efforts These include trainings, classes, tours, presentations, Participants logged 8,150 hours in 96 projects workshops, and public events. Oregon ranks number 2 statewide, assessing sport fisheries, conducting in the nation for number of classrooms using classroom fish passage inspections and surveying habitat in incubators through STEP’s Fish Eggs-to-Fry program. streams and rivers HABITAT IMPROVEMENT FISH CULTURE STEP volunteers million improved more than 3.8 Chinook salmon, Coho salmon, 500 miles steelhead and trout were reared of waterways for fish or released by STEP volunteers 650 participants improved Oregon’s fish habitat by fish These fish were used for enhancement or augmentation passage, in-stream, riparian and fish carcass placement purposes.
