  • Date: April 27, 2011 CD-07-05-S- Sandy River Delta Confluence
    m Date: April 27, 2011 m CD-07-05-S- Sandy River Delta Confluence Project CD-07-06-S-Sandy River Delta Parking Area, Wetlands Closure, Trails, Reforestation AMENDED CONSISTENCY DETERMINATION for the SANDY RIVER DELTA CONFLUENCE PROJECT, PARKING AREA, WETLANDS CLOSURE, TRAILS, REFORESTATION USDA Forest Service, Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area PROPOSED ACTION A decision was made on July 30, 2007 for the Sandy River Delta parking area. Subsequent changes to the project necessitate notification ofthe minor changes and review ofthe minor changes for consistency with the original findings. Changes include the use ofbioswales to treat runoff instead ofpermeable paving, trailhead improvements, a picnic area within one ofthe parking islands and an entrance gateway and sign. All additions are ofwood and native stone. The trailhead of the confluence trail will have a low (less than 2' stone wall) to delineate the trailhead. Two additional kiosks will be installed (3 total on site). Confluence Project: The Confluence Project proposes a "Bird Blind" observation platform designed by artist Maya Lin. This proposal also identifies the trail connection to the Columbia River near the Confluence Project. As identified in the Sandy River Delta Plan, the trail to the Columbia River at this location is foot-only. The Confluence Project must be issued a Special Use Permit by the Forest Service to install the structure. New Parking Lot Design: The current informal parking area next to 1-84 would be replaced with a 100 space parking lot at the location identified in the Sandy River Delta Plan. The proposed design includes 9 spaces for large vehicles such as horse trailers, a restroom, two bulletin boards and a defined parking for those who wish to immediately set out in a no-leash area, and a defmed parking area which will require dogs to be leashed.· Approximately 1,000 feet ofnew fence is proposed to delineate the southwestern wetland closure boundary.

  • Educational Curriculum – May 8, 2018
    May 8, 2018 Dear Educators: We are happy to share the following electronic binder of lesson plans for grades 4-12 for your use in both formal and informal settings. This curriculum is part of a larger interpretive plan for the Condit Hydroelectric Project. PacifiCorp tasked Cascade Mountain School, a program of the Mt. Adams Institute, to collect existing and develop new curricular resources to educate students in a variety of classroom scenarios that could also be adaptable to river guides and outfitters. The curriculum included here mostly focuses on the history of Condit Dam and dams more generally, current and historical use of the White Salmon River by native people and others, salmon and watershed health, and stakeholder involvement during the decommissioning process. We’ve also included a spreadsheet of local resources, including speakers and field trips, to allow you to dive further into this topic with your students. The binder is filled with photos, maps, presentations, and articles that may be of use to you as you teach your students. Our hope is that we’ve compiled useful, relevant, and exciting information here that can be used in a variety of different ways. Many thanks to many individuals who shared their resources with us for this project. Sincerely, Emily Martin and Heather Kowalewski Condit Hydroelectric Project Overview: The Condit Hydroelectric Project was located on the White Salmon ​ River in south-central Washington, approximately three river miles upstream from its confluence with the Columbia River. PacifiCorp agreed to decommission and remove the project dam and water conveyance system in accordance with the 1999 Condit Hydroelectric Project Settlement Agreement and the related Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Surrender Order issued in December 2010.

This dissertation argues that the literary and cultural history of the Pacific Northwest becomes coherent only when the environmental, cultural, socio-economic and generational histories of this watershed are placed at the center of scholarly inquiry. The project maps and traces ways that local and national narratives from the late- nineteenth and early-twentieth century worked alongside the federal government to transform the Columbia River Basin into an awaiting “Promised Land” of socio- economic progress, while writers and activists since the 1960s have used bioregional prose and poetry to spark a revival of localized counter-reclamation that stresses the importance of social activism and the attempt to find more sustainable methods of inhabiting the Pacific Northwest.
