Note | The introduction provides a general description of the watershed in terms of its natural and human-made features, ownership and current land uses, and the communities within the watershed. Information in sections 1.2 and 1.3 were compiled from the following documents: The Oregon Watershed Assessment Manual (Watershed Professionals Network, 1999), the Lower South Umpqua Watershed Analysis (USDI Bureau of Land Management, 2000), and the Middle South Umpqua Watershed Analysis (USDI Bureau of Land Management, 1999). Additional information is from the following sources’ databases: The Oregon Climate Service, the US Census Bureau, and the Douglas County Assessor. |
Abstract | The Lower South Umpqua Watershed Assessment has two goals: 1) To describe the past, present, and potential future conditions that affect water quality and fish habitat within the Lower South Umpqua Watershed; and 2) To provide a research-based action plan that suggests voluntary activities to improve fish habitat and water quality within the watershed. The Lower South Umpqua Watershed is 110,419 acres. The eastern-most section of this watershed was assessed by the UBWC in the Deer Creek Watershed Assessment and Action Plan. Therefore, this assessment focuses only on the western portion of this watershed, which is 67,329 acres. Most of the City of Roseburg and all of the City of Winston are within the Lower South Umpqua Watershed, as well as the population areas of Green, Shady, and Melrose. Land ownership is primarily private (94%). |
