Section 635-500-1370 - Habitat

Objectives for habitat management in the Molalla and Pudding subbasins:

(1) Promote habitat conditions that contribute to achieving the desired status of spring Chinook salmon and winter steelhead 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 water diversions, dams, and where appropriate, at natural barriers;

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

(c) Improve the water quality of the subbasin;

(d) Protect stream habitat from degradation associated with timber harvest, and other related activities on forested lands;

(e) Protect stream habitat throughout the lower subbasin from degradation associated with agricultural, residential and commercial development, and other human activities;

(f) Restore and enhance riparian and in-stream fish habitats;

(g) 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 and winter steelhead.
