  • RESULTS of BACTERIA SAMPLING in the WILSON RIVER Joseph M
    RESULTS OF BACTERIA SAMPLING IN THE WILSON RIVER Joseph M. Bischoff and Timothy J. Sullivan April 1999 Report Number 97-16-02 E&S Environmental Chemistry, Inc. P.O. Box 609 Corvallis, OR 97339 ABSTRACT Water quality monitoring was conducted at eight sites on the Wilson River during the period late September, 1997 through early March, 1998, from river mile 8.6 to river mile 0.2 near where the river enters Tillamook Bay. Samples were collected approximately weekly by the Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA) during the course of the study, plus at more frequent intervals during two storm events in October, 1997 and March, 1998. Samples were analyzed by TCCA for fecal coliform bacteria (FCB) and E. coli. E&S Environmental Chemistry, Inc. provided the data analysis and presentation for this report. FCB concentrations and loads in the Wilson River were higher by a factor of two during the October, 1997 storm than during any of the other five storms monitored by TCCA or E&S. Similar results were found for the Tillamook and Trask Rivers by Sullivan et al. (1998b). Lowest loads in the Wilson River were found during the monitored spring storms in 1997 (by E&S) and 1998 (this study). By far the highest FCB loads were contributed by the land areas that drain into Site 7 (in the mixing zone just below the TCCA outfall) during the October 1997 and March 1998 storms. This site was the only site in the Wilson River basin that has contributing areas occupied by urban land use. Relatively high FCB loads were also found at a variety of other sites.

    You have successfully arrived at the Nestucca/ Sand Lake Water Trail online guidebook. Please scroll down for your viewing pleasure. tillamook county water trail OREGON Nestucca and Sand Lake WATERSHEDS FLATWATER & WHITEWATER Produced by the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership WELCOME to the nestucca, Sand lake, & neskowin creek watersheds Tillamook County Water Trail - The Vision The Tillamook County Water Trail encourages the quiet exploration and discovery of the ecological, historical, social, and cultural features of Tillamook County from the uplands to the ocean. The Water Trail is a recreational and educational experience that promotes and celebrates the value of Tillamook County’s waterways with direct benefit to the economic, social, and environmental well-being of the County. The Water Trail enhances the identity of Tillamook County by establishing an alternative, low-impact way to enjoy and appreciate the wonders of all five Tillamook County estuaries and watersheds. A water trail is a path on a waterway connected through signs, maps, and access points providing a scenic and educational experience for non-motorized users. South Tillamook County boasts three impressive watersheds that together span 357 square miles and contain the unassuming hamlets of Beaver, Hebo, Cloverdale, Pacific City, and Neskowin, among others. History establishes these waterways as valued sites for sustenance, trade, and recreation. The waters of the Neskowin, Sand Lake and Nestucca estuaries flow through land dominated by dense forests, serene refuges, and tranquil parks. Bustling dairies dot the banks as you follow the path blazed by many a salmon making their way to and from the sea. Overhead you can spy migrating birds as they circle down to find the perfect spot to land.

  • Date: October 2, 2017 To: Hilary Foote, Tillamook County From: John Runyon, Cascade Environmental Group and Barbara Wyse, Highla
    Date: October 2, 2017 To: Hilary Foote, Tillamook County From: John Runyon, Cascade Environmental Group and Barbara Wyse, Highland Economics, Steve Faust, Cogan Owens Greene Re: Tillamook SB 1517 Pilot Project: Wetland and Agricultural Use Inventory Introduction This memo describes the inventory of wetland features and agricultural uses on Exclusive Farm Use (EFU or F-1 zone) lands in Tillamook County (hereafter referenced as “Agricultural Lands” or “EFU”). The purpose of the wetland feature inventory step is to use existing data, reports, and aerial imagery to characterize current and historical wetlands and other features that shape wetland and associated stream and river habitat restoration potential within EFU lands. The purpose of the agricultural use inventory is to compile information on agricultural uses on EFU lands and classify and describe key aspects of agricultural land uses. Information from the wetland and agricultural use inventories will provide the foundation for the subsequent assessment of agricultural land use patterns, wetland values, habitat restoration benefits, and agricultural economic values. The purpose of the inventory is to present the data, but not to analyze it. In other words, each inventory provides little to no analysis of the relationships between different characteristics or land use patterns. Such analysis will be provided in the next step, assessment of EFU Agricultural Lands and assessment of wetlands. The memo starts with methods and data (page 1), and then presents an overview of the County’s watersheds and EFU agricultural lands (page 11). After these introductory sections, the wetland inventory (page 16) agricultural inventory (page 30) are presented. Some of the datasets are important to both the wetland inventory and the agricultural inventory.
