Project Objectives: This project will create community fuel breaks, defensible space around structures, ingress and egress route fuel management by reducing fuels through thinning, pruning, chipping, and burning on approximately 204 acres with a benefit to approximately 90 family dwellings. This project is a coordinated and collaborative effort between the Douglas Forest Protective Association (DFPA), Umpqua National Forest’s North Umpqua Ranger District (NURD), BLM’s Swiftwater Resource Area, Glide RFD, private industrial landowners, and homeowners along the North Umpqua River. This area does not have structural fire protection. The goal is to improve the survivability for people, homes, and the environment as identified in the Douglas County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). The NFP goals are incorporated in the Douglas County CWPP. The Eastern reaches of the Cavitt Ck. CWPP encompasses portions of the NURD. The checker boarded ownership of the BLM is throughout the remainder of the CWPP. Name of CWPP: Douglas County's Cavitt Creek Name of Communit(y/ies) at Risk: Cavitt Creek and Wolf Creek Proposed Project Start Date: 07/01/2007 Proposed Project End Date: 12/31/2009 Federal Funding Request: $199,595.00 Total Project Cost: $223,415.00 Are you submitting multiple projects?

Yes Please indicate planned treatments and associated acres: Treatment Acres Treatment Acres Thinning 204 Mastication/Mowing 30 Treatment Acres Treatment Acres Hand Pile Burn 60 If you have a treatment type other than standard types above: Acres Acres Treatment Treatment 0 0 Project Evaluation Criteria Applications for funding must include narrative responses that address the following criteria. Be sure you address every one briefly, yet thoroughly. 1. Reducing Hazardous Fuels (40 points) A. Describe the community infrastructure that will be protected. This should include how this project implements all or part of the CWPP strategy. (15 points) Response: The community infra-structure that will be protected by this project is: ingress and egress routes for approximately 90 homes in the Wolf Creek, Cavitt Creek, and Little River areas, major power transmission lines pass through the area for down river communities, Wolf Creek Job Corp facility, and a covered bridge. This project will create community wildfire fuel breaks, survivable space around structures, as well as reduce fuel loadings along access routes as defined in the Mitigation Action Plan of the CWPP. B. Explain how the proposal reduces fire behavior in high hazard areas by describing the fuels to be disposed or removed, the techniques and timing of the treatments, and the treatment location relative to the values to be protected. (15 points) Response: The reduction of hazardous fuels in and around structures promotes the likelihood of the structure surviving a wildfire threat because it reduces the amount of available fuel to burn. The fuels in this high hazard area are comprised of grass, mixed conifer, hardwood, blackberry, and Scotch Broom. Fuels reduction work will include removing overgrown grasses, brush, pruning limbs, thinning overstocked stands, and debris disposal with hand and mechanized equipment. The thinning and pruning will occur from Oct. to June, and handpile burning will be done during the winter months. See (A) for values C. Explain how the project is designed to reduce smoke production impacts that affect public health. (10 points) Response: Most of the fuel reduction material removed will be chipped for landscape uses and/or utilized by the landowners as fencing materials or firewood. This project has limited planned burn activity. In the areas with limited access, small handpiles will be created for burning. These piles will be covered to maintain fuel dryness and only burned between November and March when environmental conditions are most favorable to limit smoke impacts and maintain fire safety. 2. Increasing Local Capacity (20 points) A. How would the implementation of the proposed project improve or lead to the improvement of the local economy in terms of jobs and sustainable economic activity assuming that these grant funds would be used as "seed monies" for future projects. i.e. How many community supported jobs would be created and for how long would they expect to last? (10 points) Response: This project will provide employment during the grant period for one individual to provide technical assistance to homeowners. In addition, this project will help provide employment for DFPA crews, local contractors, the Douglas County Corrections Community Service Crews, local forestry and fire contract crews, and community service organizations. Project successes will be a visual reference to neighbors for the related benefits and to motivate them to utilize contractors on their ownership. B. Will biomass that is produced by the project be utilized; if so, in what manner and how much? (10 points) Response: 75% to 80% of the material from the project sites will be utilized by the landowners for fencing poles, posts, firewood, chipped onsite for landscaping material, or recycled as mulch or compost material through the Douglas County Public Works Department. Contacts will continue to be made with area facilities with supplemental Co-gen plants to provide chipped material from project sites. 3. Demonstrating Community and Intergovernmental Collaboration (20 Points) A. Describe how this project has been collaborated and coordinated with adjacent landowners, local/state/Tribal/federal agencies, and community groups such as neighborhood associations. (10 points) Response: The DLCG has established a sub-committee to coordinate fuel reductions projects on private, ODF, USFS, BLM, and Tribal lands within Douglas County CWPP’s. The DFPA, North Umpqua Ranger District, and Swiftwater Resource Area staffs have collaborated on current and proposed fuel reduction projects within this CWPP. Planning is continuing to identify areas where coordinated projects can provide contiguous fuel breaks across property boundaries. Field Coordinator will coordinate with partners. B. Describe the communities/partners contributions to this project such as: cash or in-kind contributions, cost share agreements, equipment, or labor (including volunteer work). (10 points) Response: Agency representatives provide in-kind time for planning for this project. Each participating private landowner is required to sign a fuel reduction project agreement. Landowners are encouraged to share the cost of the project through in-kind participation or cash. DFPA will utilize area Forest Officers to provide fuel reduction education to landowners and identify lands in need of treatment. 4. Managing Cost Efficiency (20 points) Discuss the process you used to arrive at your cost structure for the main Project Budget areas

    STATE OF OREGON DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND MINERAL INDUSTRIES 1069 State Office Building Portland, Oregon 97201 BU LLE TIN 75 GEOLOGY & MINERAL RESOURCES of DOUGLAS COUNTY, OREGON Le n Ra mp Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries The preparation of this report was financially aided by a grant from Doug I as County GOVERNING BOARD R. W. deWeese, Portland, Chairman William E. Miller, Bend Donald G. McGregor, Grants Pass STATE GEOLOGIST R. E. Corcoran FOREWORD Douglas County has a history of mining operations extending back for more than 100 years. During this long time interval there is recorded produc­ tion of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, mercury, and nickel, plus lesser amounts of other metalliferous ores. The only nickel mine in the United States, owned by The Hanna Mining Co., is located on Nickel Mountain, approxi­ mately 20 miles south of Roseburg. The mine and smelter have operated con­ tinuously since 1954 and provide year-round employment for more than 500 people. Sand and gravel production keeps pace with the local construction needs. It is estimated that the total value of all raw minerals produced in Douglas County during 1972 will exceed $10, 000, 000 . This bulletin is the first in a series of reports to be published by the Department that will describe the general geology of each county in the State and provide basic information on mineral resources. It is particularly fitting that the first of the series should be Douglas County since it is one of the min­ eral leaders in the state and appears to have considerable potential for new discoveries during the coming years.

    Radio Telemetry of Steelhead in the North Umpqua River A RADIO TELEMETRY STUDY OF STEELHEAD IN THE NORTH UMPQUA RIVER BASIN 1998-2001 Dave Loomis John Raasch Rod Thompson Bob Ryan Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Umpqua Watershed District 4192 North Umpqua Highway Roseburg, Oregon 97470 December 2003 A radio telemetry study of Steelhead in the North Umpqua River Basin By Dave Loomis, John Raasch, Rod Thompson and Bob Ryan INTRODUCTION The North Umpqua steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) represents one of the few remaining native anadromous fish populations in Oregon still at a relatively healthy level. The sustainability of the North Umpqua steelhead population and its' habitat is a very high priority. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) develops, on a continuing basis, practices designed to ensure the health and viability of this population. However, continued management success depends critically on the availability of data necessary for a detailed understanding of relevant life history issues. To address these data needs, ODFW began a radio-telemetry study of North Umpqua steelhead in June of 1998. Tagging at Winchester dam was terminated 10/26/00 but monitoring continued until the end of May 2001. This study has provided detailed information on movement patterns of adult steelhead in the basin at a level that is available in no other way and is the most comprehensive project of its type for the Umpqua Basin. A radio tagging study whose scope was limited to the Steamboat Creek subbasin was carried out previously (Wroble, 1990). Also, a previous study of temperature trends in that subbasin is of interest (Hostetler, 1991).

  • Historic Overview of Douglas County
    C H A p T E R 2 Ear ly Prune Dryer in Douglas County CHAPTER II HISTORICOYERVIEW O F DOUGLAS COUNTyl Douglas County possess a rich· cultural heritage. This is substantiated by a variety of publications recording its people, places and events. As partof their respective cultural resource managementprogram s, theUmpqua National Forest andthe Bureau ofLan d Management(R oseburg District)have retained theservices of theDepartment Ant of hropology, Oregon State University to preparea report which reconstructsmaj or prehistoric andhistoric events and sequences that pertain to lands under the jurisdiction of these agencies. Additional consideration was given to adjacent landswhich maybe affected by planning decisions undertakenby these agencies. InMarch, 1980, a Draft of thisreport was completed. This Draft is titled"CULTURAL RESO URCEOVERVIEW-­ UMPQUA NATIONAL FOREST AND BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT - ROSEBURG DISTRICT." The fo llowing excerpts are taken from this report in order to gaina comprehensive overview regardingthe cultural resources in the County. Cultural Resources - A Summary The Prehistorical Chronology fo r WesternOregon including Douglas Countyis: Earliesthuman penetration and occupation 14,000 - 7000 BC Uplandhunting adaptations - early phases 6000 - 2000 BC Lower riverine adaptations 3000 - 1500 BC Uplandhunting adaptations - later phases 2500 BC - AD 1600 Coastal adaptations 2500 BC - AD 1600 Athabaskanintru sions 1500 - 1000 BC Ethnographic present AD 500 - 1800 14.000 - 7000 BC. This phase involved movements of peoples fromthe eastern regions, probably thesouthern Plate au or northern Great Basin, throughthe Cascade Mountains and into the Umpqua Basin. This movement is poorly documented in the County--dates of 14,000 BC to 12,000 BC are only speCUlative and based upon comparisons.

  • Rooseveltelk
    RooseveltElk Rooseveltelk are a speciesof concernbecause it is believedthat past clearcutting and forage seedingprograms have resultedin abnormallyhigh populations. Current downward trendsin timber harvestingare expectedto reducefuture amountsof foraging habitat for elk. This may resultin decreasingherd sizesand perhapsdecreased health. It is alsoexpected to causeelk to concentrateon private agricultural lands. Historical Background Rooseveltelk rangedfrom SanFrancisco to British Columbiaand from the PacificOcean to the summit of the Cascades.Many fur trappersand settlersreported them as abundantwithin the river valleysand bottom landsof westernOregon @ailey 1936)including the westernslopes of the Cascades.In 1848,populations began declining due to markethunting for meat,hides and tallow to supporthuman demands associated with the gold rush and settlement.Legislation was passedin 1872to restrict hunting and selling of both elk and deer, betweenFebruary to June,but was not strictly enforced. Beginningaround the 1880s,many elk were killed solelyfor their tusks (uppercanine teeth) which broughtthe selleranywhere from ten to twenty dollarsper pair, a lot of moneyback in thosedays. The situationgot so bad that marketand tusk huntingwere made illegalin 1899. In 1902,statewide hunting restrictions were implementedand the seasonwas officially shut down in 1905. In 1910,Forest Service officials reported Roosevelt elk as very scarcealong the coastalforests and as"formerly abundant"on tlrc UmpquaNational Forest. By the mid-1920s,herd numbers were reportedas increasingon the UmpquaNational Forest, however, the statewidepopulation was still very small(slightly more than 436 head). In the late 1920s,Rocky Mountain elk were beingtransplanted within westernOregon to increaseherd numbers.Herd populationsbecame high enoughto convincethe Oregon StateGame Commission to reopenthe huntingseason in 1938. Today, OregonDepartment of Fish and Wildlife estimatesthe populationof Rooseveltelk residingwithin the UmpquaNational Forest to be approximately5,800 head(Beiderbeck 1994).
