At the February 16th meeting of the CRBC Board of Directors, two new members were ratified.
Ivars Steinblums previously served on the Council as Liaison to the US Forest Service, and now joins the Council as a Citizen-at-Large. Jack Williamson now represents the USFS.
Clay Courtright, Park Supervisor with the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, will represent State Natural Resource Agencies.
We thank all new board members for their commitment to the Clackamas watershed!
The Clackamas River Basin Council is pleased to share that the Shade Our Streams project has hit another accomplishment -- all four of our demonstration sites (over ¾ of a mile) have been planted. This was accomplished using a total of 11,330 native plants, local restoration crews, and 57 dedicated volunteers! CRBC is currently contacting landowners in the watershed to set up site visits, sign up interested individuals and prepare for invasive weed removal activities this summer!

Prioritized Crossings - 2004 Deep, Goose and Eagle Creeks Fish Passage Assessment
293 total potential barriers were examined in the Deep, Goose, and Eagle Creek watersheds. Of these, 163 potential instream barriers were field surveyed. The remaining 130 possible barriers were not surveyed because they were situated on non-fish bearing and/or headwater reaches. Of the 163 potential barriers that were examined, 76 had some degree of blockage to fish passage (based on methods described in the Final Report). Of these 76 crossings, 37 were complete blockages and 39 were partial blockages. Full fish passage blockage occurs on crossings with jumps greater than 4 feet and a culvert gradient greater than 4%. Partial fish passage blockage occurs in culverts greater than 6 inches in diameter with a slope greater than 0.5% if adequate downstream backwatering is not present.
