The Malheur Subbasin

Key Subbasin Facts 40 + Irrigation Dams – Impoundments & Irrigation Projects Primary Land Uses – Agricultural Production and Processing 95% of Watershed is listed under 303d list Existing Plans Pertaining to Subbasin - Oregon Plan - Malheur River Management Plan (ODFW 1990) - ICBEMP (BLM/USFS) - Vale/Burns District Resource Management Plan (Draft 2002) - Malheur River Wild & Scenic Management Plan - North Fork Malheur River Wild and Scenic Management Plan - Malheur Basin Action Plan (MOWC) - Bull Trout Recovery Plan (USFWS, Draft) - Logan Valley Wildlife Mitigation Plan (BPT, Draft out for review) - Malheur River Wildlife Mitigation Plan (BPT, Draft April 2002)

Fish and Wildlife Needs Within the Malheur Subbasin Critical limiting factors for fish include: - anadromous and resident fish habitat, - migration routes and connectivity of isolated populations of bull trout and redband trout, - water quality, - minimum winter flows below reservoirs.

Critical limiting factors for wildlife include: - the lack of natural disturbance in riparian, meadow, and upland communities, - excessive grazing of certain sensitive areas by livestock, - limited bighorn sheep range, - reduction of native shrub and grass cover in deer and elk winter range, - expansion of noxious weeds.

Mitigation History within the Subbasin Pre-mitigation - lack of coordination between agencies and private interests. Current successes resulting from mitigation efforts - cooperative relationships established or enhanced.

Partnership Developments MOU with BLM and USFS – Natural Resource & Cultural Management MOU with USDA ARS – Mitigation Sites Advisory Panel for Logan and Malheur River Wildlife Mitigation Projects Malheur River Bull Trout Working Group Cooperative Management Partnerships – TNC, DU & OWT Pending MOU with OSU – Research and Development Partnership with Center for Invasive Plant Management Local Coordination with Watershed Groups, NRCS and SWCD

Strategic Plan for Ongoing and Future Mitigation Projects All projects are working together to promote habitat enhancement throughout the subbasin by: - setting the stage for long-term fisheries recovery, - addressing noxious weed issues directly, - forming advisory groups and ensuring public participation and involvement, - coordinating efforts with other subbasins.
