Description
- Abstract: The assessment of the Ashland and Neil Creek watersheds began June 23,
2004 and concluded with this report submitted December 31, 2007. The area
studied lies along Interstate 5 about ten miles north of the Oregon-California
border as shown on Map 1. This project, one of many being completed across
Oregon with funding from the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB),
followed the components and methods outlined in OWEB’s Watershed
Assessment Manual (July, 1999) supplemented by a later draft chapter to address Urban Issues. The process identifies voluntary individual and community Action Plans and fish-friendly practices that address priority local issues.
The focus of this assessment is to document current and historic conditions;
identify social and physical processes within the watershed that affect fish and riparian habitat, water quantity and quality; and current and potential hazards to the urban and rural residential environment. Soil conservation, erosion prevention, and flood protection are important factors in these issues. Most emphasis is on aquatic, hydrologic, and riparian systems. This watershed assessment builds on regional restoration priorities identified previously and provides a framework for the Bear Creek Watershed Council (BCWC) to better identify and prioritize issues affecting this watershed. Recommendations from this assessment help plan, propose and implement watershed restoration and improvement activities.
