ProjectTitle:
BEAR CREEK, R-Y TIMBER GRAZING & ROAD PLAN

Milestones:
Improve management of 11,000 acres  in Bear Creek and Lostine River drainage developing 13 springs/ water troughs, 3 watering ponds, six miles of cross fencing and additional boundary fencing, cattle guards, vegetative control of rose bush, junipers and noxious weeds, improve road stream crossing.  O & M by R-Y.

ProjectShortDescription:
Habitat enhancement project on R-Y timber lands (Bear Creek) funded through the Wallowa Soil and Water Conservation District.  Create cross and boundary fencing, develop springs, watering trough, and ponds, control obnoxious vegetation.

ProjectTitle:
N FORK CLARK CREEK/HINDMAN RD CROSSING IMPROVEMENT

Milestones:
Remove the existing corrugated metal pipe at the Chumos Road intersecting Hindman Road and replace with a better sized and designed structural plate aluminum bottomless culvert.  Remove the existing corrugated metal pipe 1 1/2 mile upstream at the Hindman Road crossing of the North Fork of Clark Creek and replace with a better sized and designed structural plate aluminum bottomless culvert.

ProjectShortDescription:
Replace two improperly sized and designed culverts or the North Fork of Clark Creek with  better sized and designed structural plate aluminum bottomless culverts on Hindman/ Chumos Road.

ProjectSummaryDescription:
Replace two improperly sized and designed culverts or the North Fork of Clark Creek with  better sized and designed structural plate aluminum bottomless culverts on Hindman/ Chumos Road.

ProjectBackground:
The current condition of road crossings is posing an impact to water quality and fisheries resources.  Frequent road washout as result of inadequate culvert capacity and poor road design is increasing sediment loads.  Culvert upgrades and associated road improvements would improve water quality and minimize impacts to fisheries resources.

LongTitle:
Union County Public Works N. Fork Clark Creek/Hindman Rd. Crossing


Milestones:
Treat 400 feet of streambank.  Install 5 directional barbs along the banks of the Grande Ronde to slow the velocity of stream flow against the streambank. Locate boulder clusters in stream for fish habitat.  Establish a vegetative buffer 15-30 feet wide.  Remove the car body from the stream.  O&M will be conducted by the land owner.

ProjectShortDescription:
Habitat enhancement project funded through the Union Soil and Water Conservation District. Protect and enhance 400 feet of eroding streambank downstream from Elgin.  Install barbs and boulders. Enhance the riparian zone through protection and plantings.  O&M will be conducted by the land owner.

ProjectSummaryDescription:
Protect and enhance 400 feet of eroding streambank downstream from Elgin.  Install barbs and boulders. Enhance the riparian zone through protection and plantings.  O&M will be conducted by the land owner.

ProjectBackground:
This project has been reviewed and approved by the Grande Ronde Model Watershed program.  The project is consistent with the overall goals and objectives of the Grande Ronde Model Watershed Operations Plan.  The Elgin water treatment facility is situated across the river from the site and has eliminated the flood plain on that side of the river.  This has directed additional erosive energy on the opposite streambank.  Streambank erosion is resulting in soil loss and sediment loading. This project addresses the lack of vegetation along the Grande Ronde River.


Milestones:
Elimate 4350 feet of existing dike near Imbler and revegetate with grass and willow plantings.  Build 1400 feet of new dike up to one quarter mile from the main channel and revegate with sod-forming grasses.  Set back 400 feet of dike 50-100 feet from the edge of the main channel.  Return 110 acres to flood plain.  Build 1.4 miles of temporary fence for the first and second growing season for protection from grazing, allow it thereafter utilizing NRCS standards and specifications.  Rework existing irrigation improvements to faciitate fish passage.  O&M will be by the landowners.

ProjectShortDescription:
Remove existing dike built too close to the Grande Ronde River and reconstruct at a more suitable distance.  Revegetate the disturbed areas and protect from grazing for 2 years by temporary fence.  Owners will continue O&M.

ProjectSummaryDescription:
Remove existing dike built too close to the Grande Ronde River and reconstruct at a more suitable distance.  Revegetate the disturbed areas and protect from grazing for 2 years by temporary fence.  Owners will continue O&M.

ProjectBackground:
The Grande Ronde river in this reach near Imbler was altered by dike construction during the 50's and 60's.  dikes were built in the reach at different spacings from the river.  The majority of the dikes in the project area were built directly along the river while others were set back up to 2000 feet.  Land use varies from pastureland to irrigated crop field.  Flooding as been a reoccurring problem when the dikes have failed as in the last two years.  The dike to be altered has not been maintained and is directly adjacent to the river channel for 1.4 miles.

TROY STREAMBANK PROTECTION / WALLOWA RIVER


ProjectTitle:
TROY STREAMBANK PROTECTION / WALLOWA RIVER

Milestones:
Erect 2,000 feet of riparian fence approximately 30 feet or more from the Grande Ronde streambank [T5N R43E S4] and install vegetative plantings as appropriate per site.

ProjectShortDescription:
This was a combined effort with the county and other groups funding part of the Grande Ronde streambank restoration separately and BPA funding the erection of a riparian fence and riparian plantings.

ProjectSummaryDescription:
This was a combined effort with the county and other groups funding part of the Grande Ronde streambank restoration separately and BPA funding the erection of a riparian fence and riparian plantings.

ProjectBackground:
Accelerated runoff and flooding occurred throughout the Grande Ronde River drainage in February of 1996.  Flooding left numerous streambanks eroded and deposited large amoungs of gravel and moved the stream channel.  These impacts affected land near Troy.  Wallowa County, landowners and NRCS are paying for elevating the roads and the approach to the Troy Bridge and the cleaning out of an old flood channel.  Additional funds are being provided by BP to help with the installation of the fence and vegetative plantings.
