Description
- Abstract: The project will occur on the Upper Calapooia River, between the Holley Bridge (USGS RM 45.5) and the
perceived end of anadromy for salmonids (USGS RM 72.9). Historically the Calapooia River marked the upper end
of winter steelhead distribution in the Willamette Basin, and a spawning tributary for spring chinook. These are both
DPS/ESU listed species, and little is known about their distribution and life history in the Calapooia River. A Rapid
Bioassessment was completed in 2015 as well as winter steelhead redd survey in 2017 to try and establish
baseline data including spawning gravel abundance/seeding availability, adult escapement, a foundation for long
term trend analysis, as well as identify anchor habitats. The survey was also intended to inform ODFW with vital
information regarding the possibility of jump-start seeding the Calapooia with Chinook, as well as guide the
Calapooia WC’s restoration approach in this vital area. The 2017 return of Winter steelhead over the Willamette
Falls (pinch point for all anadromy in the Willamette Valley) was the lowest on record, and the CWC and partners do
not feel a proper baseline was established. The CWC proposes to complete 2 years of STW redd Surveys to create
a baseline of adult escapement from 2 different cohorts, as well as collect summer water temperature data through
the deployment of Hobo temperature loggers. This data can be used to create a reach wide restoration plan that will
focus CWC restoration efforts in areas where they will be the most efficient and effective. Partners include ODFW,
Weyerhaeuser, US Forest Service, Miners Association, and private residents.
