ES407 Senior Seminar Working Group Earth and Physical Science Department Western Oregon University Monmouth, Oregon

River Restoration Restoration Defined:  Improving hydrologic, geomorphic, and ecological processes  Replacing lost or damaged elements of the natural system Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds:  Restoring fish populations and aquatic systems  OWEB: 1997 Legislation (Lottery Fund)

Historical Framework Lewis and Clark Expedition ca Hudson’s Bay Co. Trappers ca Willamette Valley Settlement ca  Logging and Timber Industry  Agricultural Development Columbia Basin Dam Projects ca ’s Urbanization of Puget-Willamette Lowland Moral of Story: 150 – 200 years of intensive management

Most Common Remedial Actions Riparian Vegetation / Planting:  Tree cover for stream channels  Invasive plant mitigation Large Woody Debris Replenishment:  LWD placement and recruitment Erosion Mitigation Fish Passage:  Culverts and dams

Session Overview Katie Halvorson: “Watershed Assessment and River Restoration Strategies” Dylan Castle: “Salmonid Habitat as a Guiding Principle in River Restoration” Ryan Johnson: “Fluvial Hydrology, Fish Passage, and Sedimentation” Ian McBride: “Riparian Vegetation, Land Use and Habitat Restoration” Esteban Quiles: “Channel Modification and Restoration”
