Description

Abstract: This analysis of the Lower Umpqua River watershed (2% of the total Umpqua River drainage area) in the southern Coast Range includes watershed characterization, issues, inherent landscape instability, aquatic species' habitat and population, terrestrial species' habitat and population, and restoration opportunities. This analysis was conducted by Siuslaw National Forest personnel with assistance from the Bureau of Land Management - Coos Bay District. The analysis was focused on fisheries and wildlife issues. The existing resource conditions were compared to expected natural conditions to assess trends in resource conditions. From this information, a strategy of restoration opportunities to enhance resource conditions on federal lands was developed. Watershed Analysis is one of the key components of the Aquatic Conservation Strategy (ACS) developed for the Northwest Forest Plan (NFP) (USDA-USDI 1994). The analysis is intended to facilitate watershed planning that: 1) achieves Aquatic Conservation Strategy and Late-Successional Reserve objectives and 2) provides the basis for monitoring and restoration programs.
