  • Voluntary Local Watershed Council" Under Oregon Law
    BEFORE THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOR MULTNOMAH COUNTY, OREGON RESOLUTION NO. 2015-016 Recognizing the COLUMBIA SLOUGH WATERSHED COUNCIL as a "Voluntary Local Watershed Council" Under Oregon Law. The Multnomah County Board of Commissioners Finds: a. "Voluntary local watershed councils" consist of a majority of local residents, including local officials. (Oregon Revised Statute 541.910(1)). b. "Voluntary local watershed councils" must report their activities periodically to the Board of County Commissioners. (Oregon Revised Statute 541.910(3)). c. The Columbia Slough has been declared water quality limited by the State of Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. d. The Columbia Slough Watershed lies within the jurisdictions of Multnomah County, City of Portland, City of Gresham, and City of Fairview. e. The Columbia Slough Watershed Council is a local, citizen-led organization organized in 1994 reflecting the interests of the watershed, with representation from local government, special purpose districts, neighborhoods, businesses, environmental interests, recreation advocates, scientists, and educators. f. The Columbia Slough Watershed Council meets State and Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board guidelines. g. The Columbia Slough Watershed Council has requested formal recognition by the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners. h. Formal recognition will enable the watershed council to be eligible for Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board grant funds to support council activities directed to assessing watershed conditions, developing action plans, implementing projects, and educating watershed residents. Public stewardship and public involvement are critical elements in improving and protecting water quality and watershed health in the Columbia Slough watershed to meet County goals for clean water.

  • Columbia Slough Sediment Analysis
    Columbia Slough Sediment Analysis 2006 Sampling Prepared by: City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services January 2009 Prepared for: Oregon Department of Environmental Quality Page intentionally left blank EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Portland, Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) have been engaged in investigating and improving sediment quality in the Columbia Slough for over ten years. During this time, extensive remedial investigations, focused investigations, and feasibility studies have been conducted. BES is currently participating in the state’s Voluntary Cleanup Program to address contaminated sediments in the Slough. As part of the program, BES and DEQ signed an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) which describes the actions each agency will take to address sediment quality including conducting long-term monitoring. The Long-term Monitoring Plan, which is an element of the remedial approach for the Columbia Slough, includes sampling fish and sediment every 10 years to assess progress in achieving protective levels, evaluate spatial and temporal trends, and identify areas where more focused remedial efforts may be warranted. During the summer of 2006, BES collected 78 surface sediment samples for analysis of contaminants of interest (COI). The sediment samples were analyzed for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), metals, and pesticides. The first broad-scale sampling event was conducted in 1994. These data were comprised of sediment samples from 10 segments/reaches throughout the slough. The 2006 samples consisted of 78 sediment samples from the same reaches. In the 2006 sediment data, metals and PAHs were nearly always detected, pesticides ranged widely in percent detection, and many PCB Aroclors were never detected in any sample while others were detected infrequently.

  • The Benefits of Three Columbia Slough Restoration Projects on The
    1 The Benefits of Three Columbia Slough Restoration Projects on the Natural and Urban Environment. Chris Brown, Arielle Glade, Mary Head, Joe Miller and Brian Thatcher Abstract: We sampled three different restoration projects; the Whitaker Ponds, the Vanport Wetlands and the Section 1135 Project, to determine what ecological and community benefits restoration is having on the slough and the local community. The Whitaker Ponds, once a junkyard, has been restored to a semi-pristine state and now acts as a community environmental learning center to create awareness of watershed importance. The Vanport wetlands is a young mitigation project that has already shown to aid in wildlife recovery and species diversity. The $4.5 million section 1135 restoration project consists of several components to focus on system restoration. Each of these projects has shown to be successful early on, and a more concerted effort to collect quantitative data will help in steering future projects. Key Words: Columbia River Slough, ecosystem, wetland restoration, urban ecosystems 2 Introduction The Columbia River Slough is a heavily industrialized and highly impacted area located in north Portland, Oregon. Within the past decade the value of its natural state has been realized, and efforts are being made to restore various areas. As land becomes available, the regional Metro government and other government agencies are acquiring lands to use as open space, recreation, and wildlife habitat (personal communication, Jay Mower, CRS watershed council). Currently, there are dozens of restoration projects by various government agencies, non-profit groups and volunteer workers. However, there is no concise relationship between these projects, nor any methodology to measure the projects’ effectiveness.

Existing Conditions The Hillsboro Airport (HIO) and other lands in the vicinity owned by the Port of Portland encompass 965 acres. Of this area, 1.59 acres have been designated as stream habitat. This habitat consists of Glencoe Swale, an intermittent tributary of McKay Creek that crosses the north end of HIO. McKay Creek is a tributary to Dairy Creek, which in turn is a tributary to the Tualatin River, which joins the Willamette River at approximately river mile 28.5. At the southeast corner of HIO, a stormwater ditch conveys stormwater to Dawson Creek, which flows to Rock Creek, a tributary of the Tualatin River. McKay and Dairy Creeks provide habitat for several fish species including torrent sculpin (Cottus rhotheus), reticulate sculpin (Cottus perplexus), prickly sculpin (Cottus asper), redside shiner (Richardsonius balteatus), speckled dace (Rinichthys osculus), largescale sucker (Catostomus macrocheilus), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki), Pacific lamprey (Entosphenus tridentate), Western brook lamprey (Lampetra richardsoni), and crayfish (Leader, 2001).
