  • Timing of In-Water Work to Protect Fish and Wildlife Resources
    OREGON GUIDELINES FOR TIMING OF IN-WATER WORK TO PROTECT FISH AND WILDLIFE RESOURCES June, 2008 Purpose of Guidelines - The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, (ODFW), “The guidelines are to assist under its authority to manage Oregon’s fish and wildlife resources has updated the following guidelines for timing of in-water work. The guidelines are to assist the the public in minimizing public in minimizing potential impacts to important fish, wildlife and habitat potential impacts...”. resources. Developing the Guidelines - The guidelines are based on ODFW district fish “The guidelines are based biologists’ recommendations. Primary considerations were given to important fish species including anadromous and other game fish and threatened, endangered, or on ODFW district fish sensitive species (coded list of species included in the guidelines). Time periods were biologists’ established to avoid the vulnerable life stages of these fish including migration, recommendations”. spawning and rearing. The preferred work period applies to the listed streams, unlisted upstream tributaries, and associated reservoirs and lakes. Using the Guidelines - These guidelines provide the public a way of planning in-water “These guidelines provide work during periods of time that would have the least impact on important fish, wildlife, and habitat resources. ODFW will use the guidelines as a basis for the public a way of planning commenting on planning and regulatory processes. There are some circumstances where in-water work during it may be appropriate to perform in-water work outside of the preferred work period periods of time that would indicated in the guidelines. ODFW, on a project by project basis, may consider variations in climate, location, and category of work that would allow more specific have the least impact on in-water work timing recommendations.

The name of the lake is obviously taken from its geometric shape; however, in the latter part of the nineteenth century it was variously known as Loon Lake, Echo Lake, and Lake of the Woods. Although there are hundreds of natural lakes on the Oregon Coast, there are very few in the Coast Range. The explanation lies with the geologic and climatic history of the area. The Pleistocene Epoch was a time of high precipitation and this fact combined with tectonic uplift of the mountains produced very steep-walled, narrow valleys throughout the range. Glacial and volcanic processes, Source: Oregon National Guard, 1981-82. View looking southeast. responsible for most of the Cascade Mountain lakes, were virtually non-existent in the Coast Range. However, landslides in the rugged topography are quite common, and the few natural ` lakes that do exist were formed where massive slides blocked a river valley, impounding Drainage Basin Characteristics water behind it.
