  • 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.

  • Wildfire Impacts
    THE IMPACTS OF THE 2017 WILDFIRES ON OREGON’S TRAVEL AND TOURISM INDUSTRY 16 July 2018 Prepared for Oregon Tourism Commission (Travel Oregon) 319 SW Washington St. #700 Portland, Oregon 97204 Project Manager Ladan Ghahramani Dean Runyan Associates, Inc. Destination Analysts, Inc. 833 SW 11th Avenue, Suite 920 1728 Union Street, Suite 310 Portland OR 97205 San Francisco CA 94123 503.226.2973 415.662.0732 www.deanrunyan.com www.destinationanalysts.com Executive Summary 2017 Fire Season 1.2 million acres burned during Oregon’s 2017 wildfire season, with some fire activity in every county. Smoke from these fires was particularly widespread, causing 451 unique unhealthy air quality readings across the state, a 65% increase over the previous high number of readings between 2000and 2016. Compared to previous years, smoke intruded more into populated areas, including the Portland Metro Area According to respondents to the business and organization survey conducted as part of the study, the Eagle Creek Fire (Columbia River Gorge) and Chetco Bar Fire (Curry County on the Southern Oregon Coast) had the most impact, followed by several fires and fire complexes in the Central Oregon Cascades. Businesses reported that smoke was the most prominent problem, followed by customer perceptions regarding fire-related discomfort; road closures and evacuations were also notable concerns. Economic Impacts There was a $51.5 million loss in visitor spending attributable to Oregon wildfires in 2017. $16 million in earnings for employees and working proprietors was lost, as was $368,000 and $1.5 million in local and state tax receipts, respectively. In terms of absolute sales lost, impacts were largest in Deschutes and Multnomah Counties, followed by Curry and Jackson Counties.

  • 2020 Fire Weather Report
    2020 FIRE WEATHER REPORT – WFO PQR 1 2020 Fire Weather Summary The 2020 fire season was historic on multiple levels. The forecast area experienced several catastrophic and deadly wildfires in early September. Communities were devastated and several lives lost. These deadly wildfires were not confined to the Cascades. The Echo Mountain Complex, just a few miles east of Lincoln City devastated the coastal community of Otis. The magnitude of these fires was something the Portland Fire Weather area has not experienced since the Tillamook burns over 50 years ago. It is extremely rare to have a 100,000 acre fire within the forecast area. In 2020 the Beachie Creek and Riverside Fires each scorched over 175,000 acres. The Holiday Farm fire ravaged the McKenzie River corridor, burning over 173,000 acres and destroying over 400 structures, including the entire community of Blue River. The Lionshead Fire, which started on the east slopes of the Cascades near Mt. Jefferson, blew west across the Crest and merged with the Beachie Creek Fire. The Echo Mountain Complex, although much smaller at around 2500 acres, destroyed hundreds of homes in the community of Otis. Spot forecast requests were close to average. The majority of wildfire spots occurred late in the season for the large wildfires, after IMET support had ended. Spot forecast service was utilized during the recovery phase. There were four Red Flag events during the 2020 season, all for wind/RH and dry/unstable conditions. Overall, national IMET support was the fourth highest on record. There were nearly 190 missions in 2020, well above the average of 113.

  • Introduction and Background
    DATE: May 6, 2018 TO: Rebecca McCoun FROM: ECONorthwest Project Team (Kristin Lee, Laura Marshall, and Sarah Reich) SUBJECT: NORTH SANTIAM BASIN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS PHASE 1 SUMMARY MEMO—ANNOTATED LIST OF RESOURCES REVIEWED Introduction and Background This memo presents an annotated list of potential sources of data and information that will support the economic analysis in Phase 2. We organize these resources around the analytical questions that will guide the assessment, as outlined in the Phase 2 scope of work: 1. Water Supply: Resources that describe the quantity and quality of water available in the North Santiam basin. 2. Water Use and Demand: Resources that describe the characteristics of demand for water for various uses, including primarily consumptive (i.e., irrigation and municipal/industrial) and primarily non-consumptive (i.e., recreation and fish). The list of uses is not exhaustive, but covers the major categories of uses that we will include in the analysis. 3. Water Value: Resources that focus on describing the economic value associated with various uses of water. 4. Future Trends: Resources that describe expected future changes in water supply, water use, and value of water, including potential changes resulting from climate change. This category also includes the extensive set of resources resulting from drought and resiliency planning in the basin. We have organized these resources into the categories described above to begin to assess the availability and quality of data to support our analysis related to each question. However, many of the resources will contribute information and data to multiple categories. We have listed each resource only once according to the primary category of data it would support, but the annotation notes the full range of topics covered.

  • Upper North Santiam Watershed Revision
    Upper North Santiam Watershed Revision Willamette National Forest Detroit Ranger District September 2007 Upper North Santiam Watershed Revision September 2007 Executive Summary Since the original Upper North Santiam Watershed analysis was prepared in 1995, there have been a number of natural events and management activities that have reshaped natural processes and management opportunities in the watershed. Significant natural events since 1995 include two large fires which have burned approximately 15% of the acres in the watershed (the B&B fire in 2003 burned 15,000 acres in the watershed and the Puzzle Fire in 2006 burned another 6,000 acres), the 1996 flood event, and the Pamelia Creek torrent. Management activities that have helped to reshape the baseline conditions1 in the watershed since 1995 include the replacement of four Highway 22 bridges, the redefinition of the Northwest Forest Plan (particularly direction related to Survey and Manage and the Aquatic Conservation Strategy), and the increased emphasis on active restoration. The management activities and natural events of the last 12 years have resulted in some notable changes to the baseline conditions of the watershed. Perhaps most significant is the fire-related change in vegetation patterns. Stands affected by the B&B and Puzzle Fires were largely in the stem exclusion stage. After these fires, it is estimated that 90% of the acreage affected by the B&B Fire and 45% of the acreage affected by the Puzzle Fire have converted back to the stand initiation class. For aquatics, it appears as though recent restoration activities (including wood placement in streams) and protection of riparian areas are improving the condition of the watershed.
