The Water Resources Department and the Department of Fish and Wildlife jointly identified priority areas for streamflow restoration in basins throughout the state. These priority areas represent watersheds in which there is a combination of need and opportunity for flow restoration to support fish recovery efforts under the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds. WRD is focusing its efforts under the Oregon Plan on these priority areas. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>The </SPAN><A href="http://www.oregon.gov/OPSW/pages/index.aspx"><SPAN>Oregon Plan </SPAN></A><SPAN>includes two interrelated measures—WRD 6 and ODFW IVA8—for establishing priorities for streamflow restoration. The measures are included in the Oregon Coastal Salmon Restoration Initiative (CSRI) submitted to the National Marine Fisheries Service in March 1997. Similar measures also are included in the Steelhead Supplement which was submitted in February 1998. Under the measures, the Water Resources Department (WRD) is responsible for evaluating deficits in streamflows for instream water rights and the Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is responsible for prioritizing the areas where fish habitat is most dependent on restoration of streamflows.WRD and ODFW staff worked closely in developing the methodology for identifying streamflow restoration priorities in the five major coastal basins included under the CSRI.1 ODFW developed and implemented a process to identify the watersheds in which fish were more likely to respond to increased flows. WRD identified those watersheds in which there are the best opportunities to restore flows. The rankings of expected response by fish and of opportunities for flow restoration were combined to produce the streamflow restoration priorities. A similar process was used by the agencies in establishing priorities for flow restoration in the remaining basins.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV> |
