  • Fish Screening Exemption Proposal
    BakerCounty MasonDamHydroelectricProject _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ FishScreeningExemptionProposal October2013 Introduction: Baker County is seeking an exemption from screening for the existing Mason Dam in the following proposal. On April 30, 2013 Baker County filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for a new hydroelectric license at the existing Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) Mason Dam. Because of the addition of the hydroelectric project this triggers Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 498.301 through 351 screening criteria. The following proposal provides background describing the project, a summary of the project impacts from the Entrainment and Mortality report, Baker County’s proposed mitigation and an explanation of how those measures will provide resource protection. Background: Existing Project Mason Dam is located in Baker County, Oregon approximately 11 miles southwest of Baker City on State Highway 7(Figure1). Mason Dam was built by the BOR on the Powder River for irrigation, water delivery and flood control. Mason Dam was constructed from 1965 – 1968 and has a total height of 173 feet and a maximum hydraulic height of 157 feet. Phillips Reservoir is a 2,234 acre-reservoir that was formed by the construction of Mason Dam. The reservoir has a total storage capacity of 95,500 acre-feet and an active storage capacity of 90,500 acre-feet. Existing Operation Water is generally stored between October through March with some releases above the minimum flow starting to occur in late March through April. Irrigation season starts in May and runs through September. Releases average approximately 10 cubic feet per second (cfs) between October and January, increase to an average of 20 to 50 cfs during February and March, gradually increasing to 100 cfs during April to early-May.

Glossary of Terms 61 The McKenzie River Subbasin Assessment was funded by grants from the Bonneville Power Administration and the U.S. Forest Service. High Priority Action Items for Conservation, Restoration, and Monitoring Our analysis indicates that aquatic and wildlife habitat in the McKenzie River subbasin is relatively good yet habitat quality falls short of historical conditions. High quality habitat currently exists at many locations along the McKenzie River. This assessment concluded, however, that the river’s current condition, combined with existing management and regulations, does not ensure conservation or restoration of high quality habitat in the long term. Significant short-term improvements in aquatic and wildlife habitat are not likely to happen through regulatory action. Current regulations rarely address remedies for past actions. Furthermore, regulations and the necessary enforcement can fall short of attaining conservation goals. Regulations are most effective in ensuring that habitat quality trends improve over the long period.

    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.

  • Fiscal Year 2006
    United States Department of Agriculture Monitoring and Forest Service Evaluation Report Pacific Northwest Willamette National Forest Region Fiscal Year 2006 Gold Lake on the Middle Fork Ranger District, Willamette National Forest ii May, 2007 I am pleased to present the Willamette National Forest’s 16th Annual Monitoring and Evaluation Report for your review. The climate in which we began implementing the Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP), in 1991, has changed considerably. The largest change occurred in 1994 when the Northwest Forest Plan amended our LRMP by establishing new land allocations. The Forest Plan is a dynamic document, designed to adapt to changing circumstances. I am proud to say that the Forest has kept its promise to change as the world changes in order to keep our plan fresh and responsive. The Willamette is currently scheduled to begin Forest Plan revision in 2011. Until we begin Plan revision, it is my commitment to keep you informed of the results of monitoring through this report; however if you would like more information, feel free to contact the Forest or visit our website at www.fs.fed.us/r6/willamette. Your continued interest in the Forest Plan is just one way for you to stay current with activities on your public lands. Sincerely, DALLAS J.

  • Forest Vegetation and Soils of Terraces and Floodplains Along the Mckenzie River, Oregon
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF GLENN MARTIN HAWK for the MASTER OF SCIENCE (Name) (Degree) in BOTANY (PLANT ECOLOGY) presented onpi 1.71977___ (Major) J (Date) Title: FOREST VEGETATION AND SOILS OF TERRACES AND FLOODPLAINS ALONG THE MCKENZIE RIVER, OREGON Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy DonaB. Zobl A study of the McKenzie River floodplains, terraces and glacial outwash plains was undertaken to classify and describe the vegetation and soils of a previously little studied synecological unit. During the summer of 1971, 54 analytic vegetation and soil plots (stands) were studied.Cover and frequency of all trees, shrubs, herbs and mosses were recorded as well as a soil description for each stand.Using Braun-Blanquet manual-visual association tables and computerized SIMORD analysis, four communities wereidentified. Further analysis of the four communities revealed two sequencesof seral associes leading to the development of two basichabitat types: one a climatic climax and theother a topo-edaphic climax association. Succession on floodplains, terraces, and glacialoutwash plains appears initially to follow achange from coarse, shallow soils to fine, deep soils.The climatic climax (Tsuga heterophylla/Acercircinatum/ Polystichum munitum- Oxalis oregana association) thendevelops on floodplains and terraces with deep, fine textured soils.The topo- edaphic climax (Tsuga heterophylla/Berberis nervosa-Gaultheria shallon/Linnaea borealis association develops on terraces and glacial outwash plains with shallow, coarse textured soils that have large amounts of stones and cobbles in all horizons of the soil profile. Further modifications of sites by fire and flooding also create different plant communities which add to the total diversity of forest vegetation occurring on alluvial deposits of the McKenzie River, Oregon.

  • Age, Growth, and Diet of Fish in the Waldo Lake Natural-Cultural System
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Nicola L.Swets for the degree of Master of Science in Fisheries Science presented on June 24, 1996. Title: Age, Growth, and Diet of Fish in the Waldo Lake Natural-Cultural S Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved priam J.Liss Waldo Lake, located in the Oregon Cascades, is considered to be one of the most dilute lakes in the world. Even with very low nutrient concentrations and sparse populations of zooplankton, introduced fish in the lake are large in size and in good condition when compared to fish from other lakes. Fish were originally stocked in Waldo Lake in the late 1800's. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife began stocking in the late 1930's and continued stocking until 1991. Species existing in Waldo Lake today include brook trout, rainbow trout, and kokanee salmon. The overall objective of this thesis was to increase the understanding of the interrelationships that affect the age, growth, and diet of fish in Waldo Lake. The specific objectives were to summarize and synthesize available information on the substrate, climate, water, and biota of the Waldo Lake Basin; describe the cultural history and current cultural values of the Waldo Lake Basin; determine the age, growth, length, weight, condition, diet, and reproduction of introduced fish species in Waldo Lake; interrelate the above information to show how these components of the natural-cultural system are related. Fish were collected one week per month from early June through mid-October in 1992 and 1993. Variable mesh experimental gillnets set in nearshore areas were used to capture fish in 1992.
