  • Executive Summary for the Pacific Northwest Recreation Resource Advisory Committee
    Executive Summary for the Pacific Northwest Recreation Resource Advisory Committee Site: Illinois River Scenic Area Site Type: HIRA Proposed Action: New Fees Recommended Fees: Area Fee: Begin charging $5.00 per vehicle per day Site Description - The Illinois River Scenic Area is a highly used area within the nationally designated Illinois Wild and Scenic River corridor located on the Rogue River- Siskiyou National Forest, Wild Rivers Ranger District. The area is about 15 miles south of Grants Pass and within a 1 to 2 hour drive from the Rogue River Valley and Medford- Metropolitan area. The approximate 2,970 acre area is nestled in an old growth forest setting. The area has four campgrounds, five picnic areas, two scenic overlooks and interpretive sites, one historic site, five trailheads, four developed parking areas with swimming and rafting opportunities, and one private commercial lodge. The area is the gateway to the east side of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness and the Wild Section of the Illinois W&S River. The unique mix of recreation opportunities is significant to southern Oregon. Visits to the scenic area currently exceed 180,000 people per season. Fee Assessment - Recent capital investments of 1.2 million dollars in road and parking improvements, new picnic tables, shelters, trails, and campgrounds have been built to help serve the public, improve visitor safety and prevent resource damage. Subsequently, fees are needed to provide law enforcement presence, operation and maintenance. The recommended fees are based on 1) a Market Value analysis, 2) the Regional Campground Pricing rating, and 3) the Recreation Facility Analysis process.

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 123 FERC ¶ 62,021 FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION PacifiCorp Project No. 2630-004 ORDER ISSUING NEW LICENSE (April 8, 2008) INTRODUCTION 1. On June 27, 2003, PacifiCorp filed an application for a new license pursuant to sections 4(e) and 15 of the Federal Power Act (FPA),1 to continue operation and maintenance of the Prospect Nos. 1, 2, and 4 Hydroelectric Project No. 2630. The project’s authorized capacity being licensed is 41.56 megawatts (MW). The project is located on the Rogue River, Middle Fork Rogue River, and Red Blanket Creek in Jackson County, Oregon.2 The project does not occupy federal lands. 2. On October 26, 2006, PacifiCorp filed a Settlement Agreement (settlement) signed by it and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (Oregon DFW) that addresses certain resident trout issues related to this relicense proceeding, including ramping rate effects and large woody debris management. 3. As discussed below, I am issuing a new license for the project. The license incorporates most of the settlement’s provisions. 1 16 U.S.C. §§ 797(e) and 808 (2000). 2 The project is part of PacifiCorp’s interconnected system that transmits power across state lines for public utility purposes. The project was constructed in different segments, the first of which was completed in 1911 (Prospect No. 1) and the last in 1944 (Prospect No. 4). Because the project (1) is located on a body of water over which Congress has Commerce Clause jurisdiction, (2) affects interstate commerce through its connection to an interstate power grid, and (3) has had significant post-1935 construction, it is required to be licensed pursuant to section 23(b)(1) of the FPA, 16 U.S.C.

  • Little Butte Creek Watershed Assessment
    Little Butte Creek Watershed Assessment Little Butte Creek Watershed Council August 2003 Abstract The Little Butte Creek Watershed Assessment has been prepared for the Little Butte Creek Watershed Council with funding from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB). The Assessment was prepared using the guidelines set forth in the Governor’s Watershed Enhancement Board’s 1999 Oregon Watershed Assessment Manual. The purpose of this document is to assess the current conditions and trends of human caused and ecologic processes within the Little Butte Creek Watershed and compare them with historic conditions. Many important ecological processes within the watershed have been degraded over the last 150 years of human activity. This Assessment details those locations and processes that are in need of restoration as well as those that are operating as a healthy system. The Assessment was conducted primarily at the 5th field watershed level, that of the entire Little Butte Creek Watershed. List and describe field watershed levels below. Where possible, the analyses was refined to the smaller 6th field watershed level, thirteen of which exist within the Little Butte Creek Watershed. The assessment also notes gaps in data and lists recommendations for future research and data collection. It is intended that this document, and the Little Butte Creek Watershed Action Plan be used as guides for future research and watershed protection and enhancement over the next decade. The document was developed using existing data. No new data was collected for this project. Where data was lacking, it was detailed for future work and study. Acknowledgements This assessment was compiled and written by Steve Mason.

  • Ear Grazing Authorization Renewal Environmental Assessment Ea# Or-115-05-01
    10-YEAR GRAZING AUTHORIZATION RENEWAL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT EA# OR-115-05-01 Proposed Action : Bureau of Land Management, Medford District Office, Butte Falls Resource Area, proposes to re-issue 10-year grazing authorizations on the Flat Creek and Summit Prairie allotments. Lead Agency: Bureau of Land Management, Medford District Office, Butte Falls Resource Area. For further information: Bob Budesa Bureau of Land Management Medford District Butte Falls Resource Area 3040 Biddle Road Medford, Oregon 97504 (541) 618-2287 [email protected] Abstract: There are several authorities1 that mandate or allow BLM to authorize livestock grazing on public lands as part of multiple-use management of natural resources. As a consequence, all Land Use Plans (LUP’s) for BLM have established grazing allotments and grazing allocation decisions, or reference those that do. Pertinent decisions guiding livestock grazing on the Butte Falls Resource Area and which guide livestock grazing on allotments described in this environmental assessment are listed in the Medford District Resource Management Plan (RMP), 1994. This LUP was supported by the Medford Grazing Management Program Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), 1984. By the authority cited above, the BLM issues grazing authorizations and leases, hereinafter referred to as authorizations, for a term not to exceed 10 years unless 1) land is being considered for disposal, 2) the land will be devoted to a public purpose which precludes grazing prior to the end of 10 years; 3) the term of the base property lease is less than 10 years, in which case the term of the Federal authorization or lease shall coincide with the term of the base property lease; or 4) the authorized officer determines that an authorization or lease of less than 10 years is the best interest of sound land management.
