  • An Evaluation of Spring Chinook Salmon Reintroductions Above Detroit Dam, North Santiam River, Using Genetic Pedigree Analysis P
    AN EVALUATION OF SPRING CHINOOK SALMON REINTRODUCTIONS ABOVE DETROIT DAM, NORTH SANTIAM RIVER, USING GENETIC PEDIGREE ANALYSIS Prepared for: U. S. 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.

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.

Too, we hope that all agencies that are interested in retaining existing water access as well as providing additional facilities, whether they be municipal, county, or state will all join in a cooperative effort to carry out this plan in an orderly manner. It is probable that Land and Water Conservation Funds will be available on a 50- 50 matching basis. In order to acquire these funds, it will be necessary to apply through the Oregon State Highway Department. The Pudding River Basin, located in the center of the Willamette Valley, is within close proximity to the large population centers of the Willamette Valley. Numerous highways and county roads either cross or follow the major streams within the basin making them quite accessible by vehicle.

Dasch Malia Allen Project Supervisor: Doug Parker Lebanon City Planner ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Without the hours donated by the following individuals, it would not be possible to produce a document of this type with the time and monies allotted. Pat Dunn, Shirlee Harrington, May D. Dasch and Malia Allen spent hours pouring over microfilm reels of Lebanon newspapers and an ., equal number of hours in the County Recorder and Assessor Offices researching individual properties. They also donated many hours toward the end of the project assisting with the last minute details of assembling a product of this type. There were a number of other individuals that accomplished important tasks. Steve and Elyse Kassis spent many hours taking photographs of Lebanon buildings. Pat Dunn located historical views of Lebanon. John Miles assisted in historical research on donation land claim holders and Mel Harrington assisted with deed research. Joella Larsen and Lee and Betty Scott provided information on Lebanon history. Jim Nelson offered his services to create a very comprehensive index. The City of Lebanon was very supportive in this endeavor with Doug Parker, City Planner, very responsive to the needs of the project. The Lebanon Historic Resource Commission supplied the • enthusiasm so important to make the project successful. City staff Anna Rae Goetz and Donna Martell were a great help in the last minute rush to compile this document.

  • Chapter 5 State(S): Oregon Recovery Unit Name: Willamette River
    Chapter 5 State(s): Oregon Recovery Unit Name: Willamette River Recovery Unit Region 1 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Portland, Oregon DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate reasonable actions that are believed necessary to recover and protect listed species. Plans are prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and, in this case, with the assistance of recovery unit teams, contractors, State and Tribal agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. Recovery plans do not necessarily represent the views or the official positions or indicate the approval of any individuals or agencies involved in the plan formulation, other than the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Recovery plans represent the official position of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service only after they have been signed by the Director or Regional Director as approved. Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks. Literature Cited: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 2002. Chapter 5, Willamette River Recovery Unit, Oregon. 96 p. In: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus) Draft Recovery Plan. Portland, Oregon. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Two working groups are active in the Willamette River Recovery Unit: the Upper Willamette (since 1989) and Clackamas Bull Trout Working Groups. In 1999, these groups were combined, and, along with representation from the Santiam subbasin, comprise the Willamette River Recovery Unit Team.

Never a test and refusal to ask USGS to come in and tell us the truth. How many dollars does it take to ignore the health of the future generations. I have spent years trying to bring science into the schools and the public but was blocked at every turn. People talk and know the true history and science will tell the rest. I am done asking you all to protect the water. So I will continue my search for the truth of what you have done to the next generation. Not one drop more should be taken from the Siletz River nor should one more gram of toxic waste should be added to the 11 million gallons a day pouring into the Ocean and River as their accidental spill history has proven.

    1 Timeline--North Santiam Canyon (Please forward documented corrections or additions to PO Box 574, Gates OR 97346.) 1844 “The story is told that three French-Canadian trappers from the Gervais area trapped for furs in the Santiam canyon” in 1844 (from Lawrence E. "Bud" George, Oregon State Highway Division retiree, in talk given in April, 1989 at North Santiam Historical society meeting.) 1845 By 1845, the price of furs dropped, the Santiam area had been trapped out, and few or no people used the trail up the Canyon above Mehama for several years. (Bud George) 1846 A public meeting was held in Salem in 1846 and elected a committee to "make an examination of the trail" up the Santiam toward eastern Oregon. They apparently went not up the river but "over the top of some of the broken and jagged part of the range." Col. Gilliam reported that it was "absolutely impossible for wagons up there" and returned to Salem. From 1846- 1873, the pass was not used and "was sort of forgotten." (Bud George) 1850 Senator L.F. Linn of Missouri was credited with passage of the Donation Land Claim (DLC) Law, September 27, 1850, which allowed individuals over 18 to claim 320 acres 1852 1)About 1852, Fox Valley, a cove on the south side of the North Santiam River 3.2 miles east of Lyons, was named for John Fox.. (see Santiam Lyons, Lyons Methodist Church from 1893 to 1963 by Earl B.Cotton, published jointly by North Santiam Historical Society and the Lyons Methodist Church in 1993.
