Presented is a description of the entire Salmonberry Trail project for context and information relating to the specific project request of this application. Following the general overall project description we will present specific request il}formation relating to this application.

The Port of Tillamook Bay (POTB) railroad once connected the Willamette Valley to the Oregon Coast on a 86-mile rail corridor formerly owned by

1 9 of 38- TILLAMOOK COUNTY TRANSIENT LODGING TAX (TL T) GRANT PROGRAM FOR TOURISM RELATED FACILITIES- GRANT CONTRACT 2015-F15 Southern Pacific, running from Banks to the Tillamook Airport through the canyon of the Salmonberry River and the Tillamook State Forest. Following a catastrophic storm with over 20 inches of rain over 2 days in December 2007, this rail connection was cut off due to major damage, particularly in the 16-mile stretch of tunnels and trestles deep within the Coast Range. After detailed engineering assessments, the POTB decided not to re establish the rail connection due to the costs involved and a changing market for rail service. An undamaged portion of the line is currently being used by the Oregon Coast Scenic Railway to conduct tours between Garibaldi and Milepost 816 at the confluence of the Nehalem and Salmonberry Rivers, but the remainder of the trail corridor lies unused except by a few hikers, hunters and fishermen.

This unique passage, which is referred to as the Salmonberry Trail, has a rich history, an outstanding scenic context and has the potential to connect urban and rural Oregon while tapping into a wide network of existing recreation trails and parks, educational opportunities and heritage sites. This wilt create strong economic opportunities for Tillamook County and help revitalize communities along the rail corridor, including the small towns along the coast from Wheeler to Tillamook. It will also define a new trail for active, human-powered transportation, from the urban population of the Willamette Valley through the wild wooded Coast Range to the beaches and farms of Tillamook County.

The Salmonberry Trail offers a potential connective trail link between the Willamette Valley and the Oregon Coast- realizing a long-term vision of many hikers, cyclists and equestrians. It can become part of a grand "infinity loop" that conceptually connects to the Cascade Range and Columbia Gorge. This Trail is identified as one of the top 24 regional trails, and will also connect a number of existing and proposed trails at several points, which will provide a source to users as well as potential loop options.

There are gateways to the Salmonberry Trail, as well as communities that can be considered as likely to benefit from recreational improvements. In studies of present corridors across North America, such communities are often referred to as "trail towns." These are communities typically have existing commercial resources. Most tourists revenue from a full or partial trail on the Trail would likely be derived in trail towns on the Oregon Coast, specifically Tillamook, Bay City Garibaldi, Rockaway Beach and Wheeler. There may be some benefit for Banks, as a small bike rental and repair shop has recently opened near the trailhead to the Banks-Vernonia Trail. Oregon State University researches found clear economic benefits to coastal communities from state parks on the coast (White, Goodding, and Rosenberger, 2012). A significant amount of research on the economic

? 10 of 38- TILLAMOOK COUNTY TRANSIENT LODGING TAX (TLT) GRANT PROGRAM FOR TOURISM RELATED FACILITIES- GRANT CONTRACT 2015-F15 benefits of trails is collected in the Portland State University student-led report entitled "The Long Trails Project' as well as in numerous publications coordinated by the national Rails to Trails Conservancy.

The Salmonberry Trail will provide 86 miles of mixed-use, non-motorized path. Each segment of the trail will provide unique experiences and opportunities for users.

The entire trail consists of four segments; the Coast Segment- a 26-mile section of the trail hugs the coast from the city of Wheeler on the north to Tillamook on the south. Nehalem River Segment- this section spans 17 miles from the confluence of the Salmonberry and the Nehalem rivers to the City of Wheeler, located on the shores of scenic Nehalem Bay. Salmonberry River Segment- this 16-mile section is the wildest, passing through the rugged and remote Salmonberry River canyon. Valley Segment - approximately 25 miles of "rail to trail" this segment starts at the City of Banks and rises 1 ,600 feet in elevation to its summit at Cochran, west of Timber. Each segment is identified in the Concept Plan with a 'Trail Atlas". Segment also have "Tiles" which identify specific locations and aerial photographs with key information such as nearby roads, pubic lands and streams.

The fact that this Trail traverses a relatively wild section of the Coast Range, with few roads, will make it popular with hikers, campers, kayakers and anglers. It is currently highlighted in some blogs as a hiking destination and was featured in a now out-of-print Sierra Club hiking guide to the Tillamook State Forest. Anglers are walking along the rail line and driving down the Beavers !ide Road to access the river. There is a state Water Trail from the Nehalem Confluence west and some kayakers have ventured east toward Enright to paddle the rapids within the Salmonberry Canyon Segment. Some even travel crass-country to access the North Fork of the Salmonberry. ·

When completed, the trail will afford users and opportunity to explore dense Douglas fir forests, iconic Oregon Rivers, lush coastal farmlands, and the scenic beaches, bays and estuaries of Tillamook County. On foot, bicycle or horseback, the trail will connect users with the diversity of forests, rivers and coastline that makes Oregon unique.

The Specific Project Request and Description relating to this application is a Coastal Segment Supplemental Planning Project Through a professional services contract with a qualified firm, retained through a request for proposal solicitation process, OPRD will supervise a contract or to implement a planning process with the following key components:

11 of 38- TILLAMOOK COUNTY TRANSIENT LODGING TAX (TL T) GRANT PROGRAM FOR TOURISM RELATED FACILITIES- GRANT CONTRACT 2015-F15 Phase 1 Identify representative areas within Tillamook County (Coastal Segment) where significant potential barriers to implementation exist (physical constraints, regulatory constraints, and right-of-way issues).

In consultation with OPRD, Tillamook County, the Port of Tillamook Bay and staff from local cities, identify 4-6 tiles in the study area that are included in Coastal segments tiles numbered 33-48 which have been identified in the Salmonberry Corridor Concept Pl~m. previously prepared by Walker Macy.

Phase2 Conduct a review ofthe concept Plan and other available information to support analysis of the following alternatives on the selected ''tiles"- Rail to Trail, Rail with Trail, or Bypass.

Conduct site investigations of study areas to document existing conditions, and identify specific limitation and constraints to implementing alternatives.

Phase 3 Prepare feasibility analysis relative to physical constraints (geotechnical, civil engineering), regulatory constraints (permitting hurdles), and right-of-way issues, to include: Identifying significant barriers or fatal flaws to implementation on representative study areas (tiles)

Developing rough order of magnitude (ROM) costs for additional studies, engineering and permitting for representative segments.

Provide recommendations for further study as needed.

2. Describe how this project will have a positive economic impact on the county and local community; how will it lead to increased and sustained jobs,· how it will enhance current services or provide an identified need; and how it will increase community capacity for tourism.

There is increasing demand for this type of trail. The Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) includes survey data

12 of 38- TILLAMOOK COUNTY TRANSIENT LODGING TAX (TL T) GRANT PROGRAM FOR TOURISM RELATED FACILITIES- GRANT CONTRACT 2015-F15 for recreational activities in Region 1, the NW Coast- and Region 2, Portland Metro, which brackets the length of the Trail. Recent survey results (November 2012) note that the top two activities in both regions include "walking on local sidewalks" (61.6% in Region 1 and 68.9% in Region 2) and "walking on local trails/paths (59.9% and 62.1% respectively). With an aging population, low impact activity such as walking is increasing dramatically in popularity, with biking and day hiking also gaining. Accordingly, the highest priority needs noted by the SCORP surveys are walking paths, public access to waterways, nature viewing, off street cycle trails and paved paths. In fact, 7 of the top 10 needs identified are trail-related.

In preparation the 2015-2024 Oregon Trails Plan, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department contracted with Oregon State University to conduct surveys of Oregon residents regarding their participation in four categories of trail-related recreation non-motorized trail, non-motorized boating, motorized (AlV/OHV), and snowmobile recreation. Each survey was designed to elicit information of current use patterns (amount, location, and type of use, user experiences and preferences and the economic contribution of the recreation activity.

Walking and hiking was the most popular trail activity with respect to both participation frequency and usage rate. The number of hours per day spent on trails varied across activities engaged in -with backpacking and horseback riding having the highest percentage of people spending six or more hours. Almost all respondents (98%) took at least one trail related day trip and 81% took at least one multi-day trip in the past 12 months.

Trial user expenditure varied across regions and trip types ..;... day trips versus multi-day trips. There are an estimated 162 million annual trail activity user days by Oregon residents in the state. This level of participation in non-motorized trail activit!es led to an estimated $2.1 billion in expenditure across the state. In turn, this expenditure contributed 21,730 jobs, $1 billion in value added and $672 million in labor income. When out of-state visitors are included, the estimated amounts increase to 24,340, $1.2 billion in value added and $753 million in labor income.

Using this multiplier the Banks Vernonia Trail with 97,389 visitors would have generated $1 ,262,161 in expenditures, 13 jobs, $600,890 value added and $404,164 in labor income.

Recognizing the demand for such recreational amenities, The Salmonberry Trail project will provide a positive experience for visitors and communities along the trail and businesses will develop by providing needed support and amenities.

13 of38. TILLAMOOK COUNTY TRANSIENT LODGING TAX (TLT) GRANT PROGRAM FOR TOURISM RELATED FACILITIES- GRANT CONTRACT 2015-F15 Extensive public comment was solicited in the development of this project. And several comments recognized that the development of the trail would assist with tourism and local economic growth. One future example maybe Rex, an avid hiker who leads trips down the Salmonberry every summer. He needs to arrange car shuttles and support information for his clients so more of the Canyon and remote scenety can be accessed.

3. Describe how this project would improve the visitor experience, attract new visitors or encourage a longer stay and return visits; how it will increase non-peak destination spending by visitors; and how it aligns with Visit Tillamook Coast tourism priorities.

Based on the research the demand for trail access and inventory is growing. The opportunity to explore a trail that has been for the most part unrecognized and/or inaccessible to most visitors will provide a great draw to the region. This project meets Tillamook County's Tourism priorities:

The Salmonberry Trail project partners have given strong consideration to the impact the trail will have on the region's ecological and natural resources and to the cultural and historical importance of the project. (Reference page 13-15 of the Concept Plan.) Care will be given to protect the vegetation, wetlands, river and tributaries, fish and wildlife in the area. As a significant historical story of Oregon, the project recognizes its setting, history, economic importance and connection communities feel to the region.

Tourism growth that improves economic conditions year-round create and require a unique project and set of partners. Fortunately there are aspects of this trail that differentiate it from other long trails in the US. If the entire trail is eventually built it is unlikely the many cyclists or hikers would attempt to ride to the coast and back in a single trip, simply because of the physical distance and difficulty. A one-way trip would be more feasible, the result of which would be more usage of motels, campsites, restaurants and other amenities.

Given the International popularity of Oregon and the Coast it can be anticipated that completed lengths of the trail in the coastal and Nehalem segments will introduce increased opportunities on existing facilities accessible from the Trail. Significant portions of the trail in Tillamook County can be constructed to a durable, all weather surface, providing a high quality trail experience for non-motorized users during the wet season. This presents a high probability of increasing visitation to the area during what is considered to be the off-season.

14 of 38- TILLAMOOK COUNTY TRANSIENT LODGING TAX (TLT) GRANT PROGRAM FOR TOURISM RELATED FACILITIES- GRANT CONTRACT 2015-F15 A key goal of this plan is to create a strong pedestrian connection of trail segments linking parks, recreation areas and cities together. A maintained and interconnecting system of trails will provide a variety of recreation opportunities for walkers, hikers, cyclists and other trail users. The cities of Tillamook, Wheeler, Rockaway Beach, Bay City and Garibaldi, along with the City of Banks and Washington County are reviewing their local plans to include or participate with The Salmonberry Trail Project As the project moves forward, and the marketing and awareness materials are created and distributed, it will benefit the entire region bringing greater awareness and visitation.

New and current industries will be needed to meet the needs of trail visitors. Tourists cycling, hiking, fishing or horse riding will spend on lodging, meals and other needs, bringing a boost to the coast economy. In addition they will enjoy some of the most beautiful forests and mountain scenery in the world. The buzz among cyclists and travelers will provide a multiplier effect bringing more visitors as the word spreads of this exciting travel resource. Tillamook County as a partner and recipient will benefit from this project.

4. Who will operate and maintain {O&M) the completed project and how will O&M be funded over the life of the project? Submit a written O&M plan signed by the party who will be performing the O&M.

This substantial project includes the participation of regional, county, and community leaders, and State Agencies and boards. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, the Oregon Department of Forestry, the Board of Commissioners for Tillamook County, and the Port of Tillamook Bay recently formed a new intergovernmental agency under ORS Chapter 190, the Salmonberry Trail Intergovernmental Agency (STIA). The STIA was formed for the expressed purpose of providing oversight and governance for the development and operation of the trail. ·

Voting Members of the STIA are: Port of Tillamook Bay, Tillamook County, Oregon Department of Forestry and Oregon Parks and Recreation.

Ex-Officio Members: Washington County. Washington County Visitors Association, Tillamook Forest Heritage Trust, Cycle Oregon, State Senator - District 16, State Representative - District 32, and the North Coast Regional Solutions Director.

The Salmonberry Trail Intergovernmental Agency's purpose will be to plan the development and maintenance of the Salmonberry Trail. As the project moves forward work will fit into tree distinct phases - Planning, Development and Operation.

5. Describe the extent of community support for this project. Does the project have multi-agency support and/or match through dollars, labor, donations, or technical assistance from one or more sources?

In recognition of the demand for such recreation amenities, there is also significant political support for this project The North Coast Regional Solutions Team, which includes the Department ofTransportation (ODOT}, Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD), Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and other state agencies, has identified The Salmonberry Trail project as a regionally significant project In March of 2014, the Oregon Legislature passed Senate Bill1516 that directs OPRD and ODF to work with the Salmonberry Coalition to identify potential sources of funding and management options by October 1. 2015. The Coalition has a visible and vocal supporter in State Senator Betsy Johnson, and Representative Debbie Boone.

The 14-month process to develop the concept plan for the trail, included a range of opportunities for stakeholder and public review and discussion. OPRD and ODF are the lead State agency partners in managing this concept plan, with OPRD serving as direct project managers and facilitators of the public meetings, as well as the recipient of public input through a variety of sources, including a regularly updated blog. This blog has been viewed over 28,000 times by visitors from over 32 countries.

6. Is the project ready to be constructed? Has due diligence been done regarding bids, zoning, permits, funding designs, and plans? What more needs to be done before the project can begin?

The overall Salmonberry Trail Project is still in the planning phase. The specific planning that could be accomplished with funds from this grant will move us closer to the trail construction by providing more detailed siting, engineering and cost information for the most challenging trail sections along the coast. This additional planning, combined with the other efforts descried below, will provide information needed to put specific cost figures to different sections of the trail, which is critical to seeking the grants an donations needed to fund the overall project. The Tillamook Forest Heritage Trust, with help from the Metropolitan Group of Portland has conducted a fundraising feasibility study and developed a capital campaign plan for the project. The capital campaign plan has a 10-year goal to raise $23 million for the trail construction. The TFHT is currently implementing the initial stage of this campaign effort, focused on raising $300,000 in up~ front capacity funds. Several significant donations have already been received through this initial effort, and others are pending. These initial fuf!dS will enable the TFHT to hire the necessary staff, develop additional outreach tools, and implement the full capital campaign.

The vision for a connected recreational corridor over the Coast Range between Tillamook and the Willamette VaHey has inspired many Oregonians. The Salmonberry Trail concept plan is an ambitious proposal that will take many years to realize. The energy displayed by the thousands of citizens who have participated ·in shaping the plan will be needed in the

a 17 of 38- TILLAMOOK COUNTY TRANSIENT LODGING TAX (TL T) GRANT PROGRAM FOR TOURISM RELATED FACILITIES- GRANT CONTRACT 2015-F15 coming years to continue refining and propelling the project forward while making sure The Salmonberry Trail respects the values and ongoing interests of all people who currently live, work and recreate nearby.

The Salmonberry Trail traverses several different zones in Tillamook County and cities of Tillamook, Bay City, Garibaldi, Rockaway and Wheeler.

The Salmonberry Trail Local Code Adoption Project The Port of Tillamook Bay was awarded a Transportation Growth Management (TGM) grant from the Oregon Department of Transportation. The TGM grant is being used to conduct transportation and land use plan assessments for the Trail within Tillamook County. After assessments of current local plans, suggested local plan amendments will be developed for the cities of Wheeler, Rockaway Beach, Garibaldi, Bay City and Tillamook as well as Tillamook County to incorporate the trail description and alignment into each jurisdiction's local comprehensive transportation and other plans. Information will also be provided on regulatory agencies that may be involved in permitting trail development.

An Environmental Protection Agency Brownfields Assessment Grant was awarded to Tillamook County in December 2014. This grant will further the planning efforts for the Salmonberry Trail. The three year grant funds an inventory of sites eligible for environmental assessments along the 62 miles of potential trail within Tillamook County. The project goal is to determine what properties along the proposed trail would most benefit the community by being cleaned up and redeveloped. 40 sites have been identified and will undergo a Phase 1 Assessment, 6 of those sites identified will go through a Phase 2 Assessment, which will include collecting and analyzing environmental samples. These assessment's will help identify which properties will eventually be cleaned up to ultimately support the development of the Salmonberry Trail.

~~RE: Support for Tillamook Forest Heritage Trust Grant Application~~

~~Dear Ms. Devlin,~~

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is \Vrlting to convey our support for the grant application being submitted by the Tillamook Forest Heritage Trust (TFHT) for a Tillamook Transient Lodging Tax Facility Grant. OPRD is one of several agencies that have formed a new intergovernmental agency to provide governance for the Salmonberry Trail Project. In addition to the four public agencies that formed the Salmonberry Trail futergovemmental Agency (STIA), there are also a number of ex-officio members of the new agency, one of which is the TFHT. The intergovernmental agreement forming the STIA designates TFHT as the fundraising partner to develop and initiate a fundraising plan for the initial phases of development of the Salmonberry TraiL

The specific work TFHT is proposing to fund through the Transient Lodging Tax Facility Grant program is critical for up-front planning and design work for the coastal section of the trail. This work will enable STIA partner agencies and TFHT to be well positioned for future grants and donations focused on actual trail construction, and development of related infrastructure.

The Salmonberry Trail has the potential to bring significant economic benefits to Tillamook County, as well as providing a world class non-motorized trail for local residents. For these reasons we encourage you to consider this project a high priority for the use of available facility grant funds.
