Summary of Regulation Changes Attachment 6 STATEWIDE REGULATIONS 2008 Proposal Reg Number General (Statewide) Regulations Rationale Page Guide to rule language changes: The Administrative Procedures Act requires that all changes to administrative rules be displayed and underlined in a particular format -- that is, with new material in bold typeface; example: Herring Jig and deleted material in brackets with strike through, example: [Herring jig]. The page number referenced is the page where the rule is found in the 2008 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations. If the rule is a new entry, the page number where it would appear in the 2008 regulations is listed along with “new entry”. The Proposal numbers are listed for each proposed rule change. The Category numbers reflect the classifications following the August 8th meeting and the seven rules reclassified from C to B are also noted. Only category “A” and “B” proposals are listed in these tables. For all categories staff recommendations are listed. All category “A” proposals are recommended to be Adopted. The Rational entry is an abbreviated summary of the rational included with the original proposal. The outline of the tables follows that in the 2008 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations. There are General Statewide Regulations, followed by the nine Angling Zone. For most all rules, the entire rule for the Water Body has been reproduced, but for Waterbodies with a long list of rules, only the specific rule subject to change is listed (Rogue River). Proposed rule changes are highlighted in yellow. Also shown are minor rule changes or universal date changes for the Waterbody rules under consideration. These changes reflect that the actual 2009 rules would look line in the 2009 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations. Some of the proposed rule changes will appear in multiple locations due to the nature of the rule change. Attached at the end of this document are the rule changes in the NW and SW Zones that would result from adopting proposal 132P. The “Rational” column is replaced by an “Implications” column to describe the impact of the specific rule change.

  • State Highway Department
    Description of WOrk of the State Highway Department in the Counties of the State 1923 -1924 BAKER COUNTY There was less activity in highway constructjon in Baker County dur- ing the biennium just past than in previousyears. However, the main trunk line highway known as the Old Oregon Trailwas completed during this period, and some work was doneon the Baker-Cornucopia and the Baker-Unity Highways. The work on the Baker-Cornucopia Highway involved theconstruction of the grade down the Powder River Canyon, which eliminated the high Sparta summit and materially improved existing communicationbetween the Eagle and Pine Valleys and Baker.However, there still remains a very bad section between Middle Bridge and Love Bridge, and the section between Black Bridge and Richland, through the Dry Gulch country, is impassable to automobile traffic during the spring of theyear. On the Baker-Unity Highway the gradeon both sides of Dooley Moun- tain was completed. Those who were forced to travel the old mountain grade, which was narrow, crooked, and in places reacheda gradient of 22 per cent, will appreciate traveling over thenew highway now open to traffic. The total length of grading completed in Baker County during the past biennium was 18.11 miles, of which 8.95 mileswere surfaced. in addition to this work there were 25.90 miles surveyed. The Baker County bond issue of 1918, amounting to $500,000,was in- sufficient to meet the State in cooperating to complete the state highways through the county, and on November 4, 1924,an additional $500,00G was voted to complete the Baker-Cornucopia and the Baker-Unity High- ways.

FULTON, Fishery Biologist Bureau of Commercial Fisheries 'Biological Laboratory Seattle, Washington 98102 ABSTRACT Chinook salmon, the most abundant species of salmon in the Columbia Basin, formerly spawned in nearly a11 tributaries ofthe Columbia River and in many areas of the main river. Over the past 60 years, the construction of dams has inundated, impeded, or blocke.d acces!, to spawning areas. Despite these heavy losses, large areas of spawning grounds in the middle and lower portions of the drainage are sti11 available to chinook salmon. Stream im­ provements by State and Federal fishery agencies have rehabilitated some areas and have brought others into production for the first time. Important spawning areas are listed and charted in this report according to their past use (before 1965) and present use (1966). Estimates of recent spawning populations in major tributaries and in segments of the main stem are also given.

The book presents detailed information on the biology, habitats, and life histories of the 96 species of mammals of the Oregon coast. Soils, geology, and vegetation are described and related to wildlife habitats for the 65 terrestrial and 31 marine species. The book is not simply an identification guide to the Oregon coast mammals but is a dynamic portrayal of their habits and habitats. Life histories are based on fieldwork and available literature. An extensive bibliography is included. Personal anecdotes of the authors provide entertaining reading. The book should be of use to students, educators, land-use planners, resource managers, wildlife biologists, and naturalists.

U.S. Department of Agriculture. Forest Service. Pacific Northwest Research Station. Forestry Sciences Laboratory. 3200 Jefferson Way. Corvallis, Oregon 97331. Foreword In 1971, I joined the Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Exper- iment Station as Station Director and, among other duties, be- came chainman of the Interagency Committee on Research Natural Areas. It was a chair that I held for 4 years, and it is a - - pleasure to reflect, more than 10 years later, on the progress that has been made. Oregon and Washington already had a vigorous program of preser- vation of Natural Areas for scientific and educational purposes in 1971. In preparation at that time were several publications important to identifying and protecting Natural Areas, including a description of natural vegetation of Oregon and Washington (Franklin and Dyrness 1973), an inventory of Federal Research Natural Areas in Oregon and Washington (Franklin and others 1972),1/ and a comprehensive inventory of Natural Areas rec- ognized by the Society of American Foresters (Buckman and Quintus 1972). The Interagency Committee, with participation from The Nature Conservancy and the States of Oregon and Washington then asked, "What should a well-balanced program of Research Natural Area preservation include?" This led to the publication, "Research Natural Area Needs in the Pacific Northwest: A Contribution to Land-Use Planning" (Dyrness and others 1975).

  • IN OREGON Abstract Approved: E
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF ERIC FORSMAN for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in FISHERIES AND WILDLIFE presented on October 22, 1975 Title: A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF THE SPOTTED OWL IN OREGON Abstract approved: E. Charles Meslow Between 1970 and 1974, data were collected on the distribution and biology of the spotted owl (Strix occidentalis) in Oregon. One- hundred and sixteen pairs and seven single birds were located. Spotted owls occurred throughout the mountains of western Oregon and on the east slope of the Cascade Range at least as far east as Badger Butte, Hood River County; Abbot Butte, Jefferson County; and Swan Lake Point, Klamath County. The upper elevational limits of the species increased from about 1,350 meters in northern Oregon to 1,770 meters in southern Oregon. Although spotted owls were not uncommon in some areas, evidence indicated that the population was declining as a result of habitat loss. A total of 2,647 prey items were identified from 42 pairs of owls. Prey species included 29 mammals, 20 birds, 2 reptiles, a crayfish, a terrestrial snail, and 26 genera of insects. Mammalian prey comprised over 90 percent of the biomass consumed. The flying squirrel (Glaucomvs sabrinus) was the principal prey species (13-48 percent of total biomass consumed), except in dry forest areas, where wood rats (Neotoma fuscipes and N. cinerea became most important (7-78 percent of total biomass). Other important prey included snow- shoe hares (Lepus americanus), red tree voles (Phenacomvs longi- caudus), deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus), western red-backed voles (Clethrionomys occidentalis), Mazama pocket gophers (Thomomvs mazama), pikas (Ochotona princeps), and small birds.
