Description

Abstract: The intent of this assessment is to provide a framework for action based on a review of the many recent studies that have been completed in this area. The Clackamas Basin Atlas, funded by the Environmental Protection Agency and coordinated by Metro, provides a basin-wide perspective on the entire area. Metro followed up this effort with a landscape study focused on Rock and Richardson Creeks. Pacific Rivers Council and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) have done fish surveys and analyzed the health of aquatic life. During the development of this assessment Clackamas County was in the midst of completing a stormwater management plan for the proposed urban areas. This assessment summarizes the findings of these and several other studies, and provides a context for moving forward with creek protection and restoration.

Purpose: The Clackamas River Basin Council initiated this watershed assessment to catalyze community involvement in watershed restoration and to offer and alternative to conventional urban development.
