Description

Abstract: The Bates State Park Master Plan is the result of a public involvement process that engaged local residents, neighboring agencies, The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, natural resource agencies and advocacy groups, The Friends of Bates, recreation advocates and fish habitat advocates in creating a viable long-term vision for the park. OPRD held an advisory committee meeting and public meetings in February and July 2009. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed plan progress at their July and September 2009 meetings. Following Commission approval, the plan will move to Grant County for their comments and for approval of a land use application for development of the plan facility concepts.

Purpose: Work with resource agencies and others to define a multifaceted approach for park habitat enhancements that identify short-term projects for immediate improvement and a long-term plan; ?? Focus initially on increasing riparian vegetation along Bates Pond, creeks and river; Assess other options for improving water quality in the creeks, river and Bates Pond to enhance fish habitat; OPRD will work with natural resource agencies in developing a potential mitigation and compliance approach for Bates Pond that can be consistent with water quality standards. (Final decisions about long-term habitat restoration projects will be made after further study, following the approval of the master plan.) Protect and improve the native meadow and coniferous forest habitats over time; and Improve the scenic qualities of the park.
