Constructed between 1941 and 1969, these structures function in collaboration to comprise the Willamette River Basin Reservoir System (WRBRS). The motivation for this project derives from a growing awareness of the biophysical impacts that dam structures can have on riparian habitats. This project compares each of the 13 dams being assessed, to prioritize their level of utility within the system.

  • Lookout Point Watershed Analysis Update
    Lookout Point Watershed Analysis Update August, 2012 Introduction The Lookout Point Watershed Analysis was prepared by personnel of the old Lowell Ranger District in 1997, so this analysis is now about 15 years old. In that time considerable new information has come to light and some conditions have changed. Additionally, the original WA contained some misinformation, or the watershed conditions are better understood now. There is also a new land management project proposed in this watershed (the Outlook Landscape Diversity Project) the analysis of which would be facilitated by this watershed update. In addition to updating current conditions, this reanalysis updates the list of recommendations. Specific conditions or occurrences creating the need for this update include: • vegetation growth which has changed the conditions of the 28% of the watershed consisting of young stands created by past regeneration harvest, • a better understanding of the fire history of the area, • the presence of a new invasive plant species, false brome, • reintroduction of Chinook salmon and bull trout into upstream watersheds, • construction of additional infrastructure elements such as cell phone towers and fiber optic lines, and • continuing deterioration of road conditions. The 1997 “Lookout Pont Watershed Analysis Area” document covered only the 49,638 acres of federally owned lands within the 100,000+ acre Lookout Point Reservoir Fifth Field watershed, which is one of nine within the Fourth-Field Middle Fork of the Willamette River watershed. This update will also address only the National Forest portion of this watershed. Some 60,000 acres of BLM and privately owned lands occur in the lower portions of the full 5th Field watershed, which include the Lookout Point dam and the lower half of the associated reservoir, the Dexter dam and reservoir, the Lost Creek drainage, and the communities of Dexter and Lowell.

  • Willamette Valley Projects Configuration/Operation Plan (COP)
    Phase II Report Willamette Valley Projects Configuration/Operation Plan (COP) October 2015 Final Report Willamette Valley Projects Configuration/Operation Plan, Phase II Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Configuration/Operation Plan (COP), Phase II Report, for the Willamette Valley system provides recommendations to address the Reasonable and Prudent Alternative (RPA) contained in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries or NMFS) 2008 Biological Opinion (BiOp) for the Willamette System (WS) operated and maintained by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE or Corps). The RPA listed actions to be implemented to avoid jeopardy to Upper Willamette River (UWR) spring Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and UWR winter steelhead (O. mykiss) from continued operations and maintenance of the WS. This COP Phase II report was guided by the development of alternatives documented in the 2009 COP Phase I Report. Although this document does not meet the EC 11-2-208 (dated 31 Mar 2015) definition as a “Decision Document”, it is being used to document the long-term plan for implementing the 2008 Willamette Biological Opinion. BACKGROUND The WS system consists of 13 multipurpose dams and reservoirs, and approximately 92 miles of riverbank protection projects in the Willamette River Basin in Oregon. Each project contributes to the overall water resources management in the basin which is designed to provide flood risk management, hydropower generation, irrigation, navigation, recreation, fish and wildlife, and improved water quality on the Willamette River and many of its tributaries. The fish species listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) affected by operation of the WS1 include UWR spring Chinook salmon, UWR winter steelhead, and bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus, threatened).
