Section 635-500-0267 - Habitat

Objectives for habitat management in the McKenzie River subbasin:

(1) Promote habitat conditions that contribute to achieving the desired status of spring Chinook salmon identified in the Upper Willamette Conservation and Recovery Plan for Chinook salmon and steelhead (OAR 635-500-6600). This includes, but is not limited to, the following actions:

(a) Maintain and improve upstream and downstream passage for anadromous fish at dams, diversions, power projects, and, where appropriate, at natural barriers;

(b) Provide necessary in-stream flows for fish production;

(c) Reduce the impacts of reservoir management on fish production;

(d) Protect existing stream habitat from degradation associated with timber harvest and other related activities on forested lands, with road construction, and with development on private and agricultural lands;

(e) Inventory streams and assess watershed characteristics that affect fish production.

(2) Promote habitat conditions for other species where they may be different than for spring Chinook.
