Rockslide and Landslide Areas Map EXECUTIVE SUMMARY What Is Corridor Planning and Why Is It Being Done The Oregon Department of Transportation is developing plans for 31 transportation corridors identified in the Oregon Transportation Plan (OTP) as being of statewide or interstate importance. The process began in 1991. A corridor plan is a long-range program for managing and improving transportation facilities and services to meet the needs for moving people and goods. A key element of corridor planning is consideration of the linkage between land use and transportation needs. This document provides for the interim strategy for the 125.2-mile Highway 221US 20 corridor between Salem and Bend. The corridor provides for accessibility among growing cities and rural communities, freight movement, tourism, and commute and recreational travel. The benefits of long-range planning in this corridor include: (a) resolution of planning issues, (b) preservation of future transportation rights-of-way, (c) protection of transportation investments, (d) cooperation among diverse organizations to implement projects, programs and services, and (e) ensuring safe, efficient, and timely journeys for the motoring public. The Oregon Transportation Plan establishes the general policies and planning direction for the development of corridor plans. It also responds to related modal plans for highways, rail, aviation, pedestrianlbicycle, public transportation, and safety. Corridor plans assist in the development of transportation projects for implementation through the Statewide Transportation lmprovement Program (STIP). The purpose of the Oregon Transportation Plan is to guide development of a safe, convenient, and efficient transportation system that promotes economic prosperity and livability for all Oregonians. Corridor planning is organized into three phases, proceeding from the general to the specific. In the first phase, transportation goals and management objectives are identified in the development of the Corridor Strategy. The second phase, referred to as the Transportation lmprovement Management Element (TIME) consists of preparing System Plans, which define the transportation improvement needs and accompanying land use framework. The TIME , together with the corridor strategy is adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) as the corridor plan. ES- 1 Refinement Plans can be developed as a third phase for sections of the corridor with particular environmental, land use, or operational concerns. This interim corridor strategy addresses the operation, preservation, and improvement of transportation facilities in the Highway 22lUS 20 corridor. It covers a 20-year planning period building upon federal, state, and local transportation and land use policies and plans. The involvement of residents, users, and other participants has resulted in extensive input to the strategy which will guide subsequent development of the Corridor Plan and Refinement Plans and serve as the basis for selection of individual improvement projects and implementation of new or expanded transportation services. 1. Corridor Overview The corridor extends along Highway 22 from the east side of Salem (the urban growth boundary) to Santiam Junction and along US 20 east to the city limits in Bend. It is designated as a Statewide Highway in the National 'Highway System and a Statewide Highway in the draft 1998 Oregon Highway Plan. The corridor is part of a state scenic byway, the West Cascades Scenic Byway and part of a newly designated national scenic byway, the McKenzie Pass - Santiam Pass Scenic Byway. The corridor is also designated as a route of the State Highway Freight System in draft 1998 Oregon Highway Plan. A railroad in the corridor extends from Mill City to small cities north and south of the west end of the corridor to Stayton, Mt. Angel, and Albany. The corridor connects the communities in the North Santiam Canyon and west along the North Santiam River, as shown on Map ES-1. The corridor provides commuter access to cities along the route and is a primary link between the Willamette Valley and Central Oregon. Bend is the regional trade and service center for central Oregon. It is the largest urban area in Oregon east of the Cascade Mountains. Daily traffic volumes on Highway 22 currently range from about 2,600 vehicles per day near Marion Forks to 20,700 at Deer Park Drive, the west end of the corridor. On US 20 the traffic volumes range from 4,300 at Santiam Pass to 12,100 just west of the US 97 junction. Future traffic volumes on Highway 22 are predicted to range from about 4,700 in Marion Forks to more than 36,000 at the Deer Park Drive interchange (near 1-5). ' Future traffic volumes on US 20 are projected to range from approximately 8,200 at Santiam Pass to 26,500 just west of the SEGMENT ONE 0 N MP1.21 TO MP22.42 SEGMENT TWO I MP22.42 TO MP39.67 SEGMENT TI.IREE MP39.67 TO MP54.09 - - - JEFFERSON COUNTY SEGMENT FIVE COUNTY MP74.80 TO MP93.07 --- SEGMENT FOUR MP54.09 TO MP8 1.74 SALEM TO BEND CORRIDOR SEGMENT SIX MAP ES-1 US 97 junction. Trucks currently comprise 7 to 17 percent of traffic volume in the corridor. Intercity bus service through the corridor is provided by Valley Retriever and Porter Stage Lines. Greyhound serves Salem and Bend. There is no public transit service currently with the corridor communities other than dial-a-ride services. The term "corridor communities" is used extensively throughout this document

Future Outlook for Kokanee Populations in Detroit Reservoir 21 X. Considerations for Future Management of Kokanee 22 I INTRODUCTION Kokanee were originally stocked in Detroit Reservoir in 11959. This species was introduced in hopes that it would utilize pelagiczoo plankton and provide a more varied sport fishery. The trout fishery in the reservoir depends primarily on heavy plants of legal-sized rainbow trout, supplemented by stocking fingerling rainbow. As the introduction of the kokanee has been somewhat successful in this fluctuating impoundment, a compilation of all known biologi- cal data would be of interest and aid in the future management of this species. II ENVIRONMENT AND FOOD HABITS Detroit is a multi-purpose reservoir maintained by the Corps of Engineers and contains 3,580 surfaceacres at full pool and 1,250 acres at minimum pool. Elevation is 1,569 feet at full pool. An annual drawdown of about 1)40 feet is usually accomplished by December 1. The reservoir is normally maintained at full pool from May to SepteMber. As Detroit is subjected to extreme fluctuations and is character- ized by a steeply sloping shoreline, it cannot be classedas a productive water.

  • Interior the Following Appropriations Requests Were Submitted by Senator
    Interior The following appropriations requests were submitted by Senator Merkley to the Appropriations Committee for consideration as part of the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies appropriations bill for fiscal year 2011. Bend Surface Water Project - $2,000,000 EPA, Bend, OR The Surface Water project has three major components: water treatment, pipeline replacement, and hydroelectric development. Funds will be put toward the estimated overall $71,000,000 cost of the project, which is to construct a water treatment plant, replace an 11 mile water pipeline, and install a small hydroelectric facility, gaining 1.2 MW of green power, further defraying the long term cost of the project. The project is required in order to replace aging infrastructure, and comply with EPA LT2 drinking water regulations governing surface water. Eastside Sewer Interceptor Project: Oak to Antler - $1,375,000 City of Redmond, Redmond, OR The east side of Redmond is poised for significant industrial and commercial growth. The City’s Desert Rise Industrial Park (State Certified, 75 shovel ready acres), Pioneer Business Park (40 acre, incubator lots), Crown Mill redevelopment (70 acre former sawmill), Greenway Business Campus (220 acre ―green-themed‖ re-development) and several other planned development or redevelopment projects exist east of US 97 and the BNSF rail line. Full buildout of the east side industrial development cannot occur without construction of a planned large diameter sewer line which parallels the BNSF rail line and intercepts/collects wastewater effluent from all east side development. The project, known as the Eastside Sewer Interceptor Project, will also have the capacity to serve the potential 900-acre large lot Department of State Land (DSL) project south of the Deschutes County Fairgrounds and Expo Center.

ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS PORTLAND DISTRICT – WILLAMETTE VALLEY PROJECT 333 SW First Ave. Portland, Oregon 97204 Prepared by: Kathleen G. O’Malley1, Melissa L. Evans1, Marc A. Johnson1,2, Dave Jacobson1, and Michael Hogansen2 1Oregon State University Department of Fisheries and Wildlife Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station Hatfield Marine Science Center 2030 SE Marine Science Drive Newport, Oregon 97365 2Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Upper Willamette Research, Monitoring, and Evaluation Corvallis Research Laboratory 28655 Highway 34 Corvallis, Oregon 97333 SUMMARY For approximately two decades, hatchery-origin (HOR) spring Chinook salmon have been released (“outplanted”) above Detroit Dam on the North Santiam River. Here we used genetic parentage analysis to evaluate the contribution of salmon outplants to subsequent natural-origin (NOR) salmon recruitment to the river. Despite sampling limitations encountered during several years of the study, we were able to determine that most NOR salmon sampled in 2013 (59%) and 2014 (66%) were progeny of outplanted salmon. We were also able to estimate fitness, a cohort replacement rate (CRR), and the effective number of breeders (Nb) for salmon outplanted above Detroit Dam in 2009. On average, female fitness was ~5× (2.72:0.52 progeny) that of males and fitness was highly variable among individuals (range: 0-20 progeny). It is likely that the highly skewed male:female sex ratio (~6:1) among outplanted salmon limited reproductive opportunities for males in 2009. The CRR was 1.07, as estimated from female replacement.

The updated assessment is intended to provide information and resources to assist you and your community to implement local drinking water protection efforts. Since the first source water assessments were completed in 2005, state agencies have significantly expanded analytical capabilities, including more detailed data for analyzing natural characteristics and potential pollutant sources. DEQ is currently completing the updated assessments for surface water systems and OHA is updating the groundwater system assessments. As you know, assuring safe drinking water depends on public water suppliers implementing multiple successful practices. First, protect the drinking water source. Second, practice effective water treatment. Third, conduct regular monitoring for contaminants to assure safety. Fourth, protect the distribution system piping and finished water storage from recontamination. Finally, practice competent water system operation, maintenance, and construction. These practices are collectively called “multiple barrier public health protection”. Source water protection is an important first step because starting with the best possible quality source water helps assure that water treatment can be effective at all times.
