MAJOR PROGRAMACCOMPLISHMENTS-
WICKIUP BIOENGINEERING PROJECT- # 00-05-01
Objective
The objective of this project was to stabilize eroding banks in three locations using
bioengineering techniques.
Implementation date
Project construction began in October of 2001.
Project completion summary
This project was originally conceived in the Fall of 1998 with a proposal sent to the Restoration
& Enhancement Board. Numerous internal struggles within the Deschutes National Forest
delayed the implementation until October of 2001.
The project is located approximately %Z mile downstream of Wickiup Dam and consists of
discreet sites on both sides of the river. Habitat issues at the site are: high flows during summer,
low flows during winter, tall eroding banks, lack of large woody debris and a lack of continuous
riparian vegetation. The goal of the project was to improve bank stability by increasing the
amount of large woody debris and replanting riparian vegetation. Success will be achieved if
deposition of fines occurs and riparian vegetation continues to grow and spread.
A contract for design and implementation for the Deschutes River Bioengineering Project was
awarded to Henderson Land Services LLC of Lake Oswego, OR on August 29, 2001. This firm
was the low bidder but also the most qualified based on the evaluation criteria enclosed in the
contract bid package. The contract was awarded for $52,500, which exceeded the contract funds
available at the time. Additional Forest Service funds were obligated, and the Deschutes
Mitigation & Enhancement Program contributed additional funds. .
The design of the project incorporated large woody material, light bank sloping, organic matting,
and transplants of sedges, willows, and Douglas spirea to increase bank stability on nearly 1,000
lineal feet of the Deschutes River.
The instream phase of the project has been implemented on the ground. Instream activities
started on October 16, 2001. Large woody material (whole trees with crowns and roots wads)
were placed near the toe slope of the eroded banks. Other large trees were angled upstream to
act as flow deflectors. A small floodplain of 3-6 feet width was constructed between the trunks
of the trees lying near the toe slope and the bank, using materials from the upslope banks. These
excavated materials were wrapped with bio -degradable organic matting, then sedge plugs taken
from on site areas were placed on top, forming the floodplain. The sedge plantings are
anticipated to expand within the bankfull channel width over time. Equipment access points to
the river were rehabilitated by forming barriers with large boulders, de -compaction of soils, and
4
planting with bitterbrush seedlings. Other bitterbrush seedlings were planted in upslope areas
within the project area.
Willows and other riparian and upland vegetation will be planted during the spring of 2002 by
the contractor. Approximately 2,000 willow and Douglas spirea, and 500 ponderosa pine
seedlings will comprise the plantings. Implementation of the plantings, along with a project as -
built drawing, will complete the contract with Henderson Land Services LLC, for which 10% of
the contract is currently being withheld ($5,250).
The forest photographer, John Hutmacher, completed pre -project photos and was on site during
implementation. A press release was submitted, but no media responded. Another press release
will be made in the spring of 2002 when the plantings occur. Volunteer and youth work crew
will assist in the collection of native vegetation to be planted at the project site.
Monitoring
Pre -project monitoring included erosion bank pins, photo points, cros'-sectional surveys, and
electrofishing. Post -project monitoring began immediately after the instream work was
completed with a re -survey of the cross-sectional surveys and placement of erosion pins.
An evaluation of the project's success will have to wait for at least year. It may take additional
time before we know if erosion is reduced, sediment is depositing and the plants are free to grow.
Literally hundreds of these types of projects are needed in the Upper Deschutes basin from
Wickiup Dam to Bend.
Future monitoring will include re -surveys of the cross-sectional stations, measurement of erosion
pins, measure of bank stability, survival rates of willow and other plantings, electrofishing to
evaluate fish response, and photo documentation.

BEITH FISH HABITAT RESTORATION PROJECT- no M&E project number
Objective
The objective of this project was to assist a contractor with stabilizing an eroding streambank
using the trees within the footprint of the house he was building.
Implementation date
Project construction began in August of 2001
Project completion summary
Charlie Beith Construction contacted us in the summer of 2000 about restoring the river in front
of a private home he was building (Speikerman's). The owner is a fish nut and he wondered if
the 25 trees being removed from the footprint of the house could be used to create fish habitat.
The river had a high (30 ft.), nearly vertical bank of raw dirt with fast current at the toe. Any dirt
that fell off the bank was immediately washed away and boat wakes caused similar erosion.
Beith was willing to do all the paperwork involved in moving the project forward including
contacting the USFS for Wild & Scenic analysis and the Oregon Division of State Lands for fill
permits. We informed him of how this type of project proceeds and helped him along the way to
ensure the process happened. The day of tree placement we directed the work and later anchored
the trees with supplies provided by Beith. Tree placement took one day and cabling took one
day.
8
Twenty-five trees (mainly ponderosa) were placed with a 50 -ton crane and one large ponderosa
(live, standing) was pushed in with a backhoe. Beith's crew hand -placed slash remaining from
the tree pile. This will help stabilize the sloughing dirt. Construction took one day and
anchoring V2 day. Beith and the homeowner will be planting willow and sedge from local stock.
We had communication problems between the crane operator and the choker crew. They could
not see each other, did not have common hand signals and the signals were relayed through a
intermediate person. It was the first time for all of us working with a large crane placing trees.
A more intensive training session for the crew and additional staff experience will solve these
problems on future projects.
The upstream neighbor may be interested in a similar project. We had to access the live
ponderosa through his property and he asked about how to stop the erosion on his property. We
discussed the general principles and asked him to contact us.
Projects of this type are excellent justification for the M&E program. Without a permanent
source of funding (seed money) and personnel no ODFW fish district can sustain fish habitat
restoration. Dollars are rarely available to purchase the expensive and specialized tools required
and the knowledge to implement restoration can only be acquired through a long-term
commitment to restoration. It is unlikely the Upper Deschutes Fish District would be able to
respond to landowners willing to restore habitat, in a timely manner, without such a program in
place.
Monitoring
Water current is now absent or reduced to very little and boat wakes cannot reach the water's
edge. Fish finder surveys immediately after tree placement showed fish under the trees; surveys
a week later showed similar results. Quantitative electrofishing was done two weeks later to
document fish usage.
The project is very successful at reducing erosion from irrigation water delivery. Over the next 5
or more years we will know how if this will be a permanent solution to this particular location.
The effect of the tall bank and success of plantings cannot be predicted but the techniques are the
best known method and have worked in other locations.
An additional unknown factor is the homeowner's stewardship in taking care of the project. The
builder has not been willing to let us contact the owners directly so we don't know if he
understands the importance of completing the planting and doing additional planting each year
until they are free -to -grow. We will continue to work on this educational aspect.

GARY AUSTIN FISH HABITAT RESTORATION PROJECT- no M&E project number
Objective
The objective of this project was to assist a contractor with stabilizing an eroding streambank
using the trees within the footprint of the house he was building.
Implementation date
Project construction began in May of 2001.
Project completion summary
We were contacted by the Creekside and Timber Creek developments in Sisters (May 2000)
about repairing stream damage caused by a rain -on -snow event in 1998. A row of boulders
directed the creek into an unprotected bank and caused two large ponderosa to fall into the creek.
A debris jam built up behind these trees and the creek went out of its channel and caused
multiple damage sites throughout the reach.
I drew up a rehabilitation plan for the entire % mile reach. The plan was distributed to both
developers and the Oregon Division of State Lands. One of the builders on the Creekside
development, Gary Austin, contacted us about the rehabilitation work at the home he was
building (Fall 2000). Seven large ponderosa were being removed from the footprint of the house
and he wanted to use them as part of the rehabilitation project. He agreed to go through the
permit process and we would assist with design, placement and anchoring.
The trees were removed (May 2001) with a skidder, cherry picker and excavator and set aside
while waiting for the instream work period to begin in July 2001. Austin claimed he saw
rainbow trout spawning within the work site.
The trees were placed with a 50 -ton crane and boulders added with an excavator. We cabled the
trees to the boulders with supplies provided by Austin. Due to the size of the trees (largest
weighed 19,000 lbs) we used 7/16" cable and glued directly into the boulders using Epcon
construction adhesive (similar to Hilti acrylic adhesive).
An adequate seed source exists within the stream bed that riparian plantings will not be needed.
Cottonwood, alder and willows starts are already growing at the project site. The project should
encourage the trees to grow by diverting high flows and causing deposition.
This project is another excellent justification for the M&E program. Without a permanent source
of funding (seed money) and personnel no ODFW fish district can sustain fish habitat
restoration. Dollars are rarely available to purchase the expensive and specialized tools required
and the knowledge to implement restoration can only be acquired through a long-term
commitment to restoration. It is unlikely the Upper Deschutes Fish District would be able to
respond to landowners willing to restore habitat, in a timely manner, without such a program in
place.
11
Monitoring
The project has collected several tons of sediment, tree branches and needles (and a mountain
bike) and in this sense it is successful. Deposition is occurring and the creek channel has moved
away from the bank 8-10 feet. Permanent success will depend on natural revegetation, the
project on the north side of the creek and the future homeowners (home is still for sale)
stewardship in maintaining the project. We will continue to work at moving the northside
project along and contacting the future homeowners about the care of the project.
The other issue at hand is zoning in the City of Sisters. The concrete deck of the house is
approximately 1 foot from the edge of the bank (7 foot drop) and the construction debris (rock,
dry concrete) goes over the edge of the bank. The north edge of the house and deck is actually
built over an undercut bank. The north gutter is plumbed to drain directly into the creek. The
view from inside the house is frightening. The view from the kitchen window looks directly up
the creek.
We are surprised that Sisters zoning allowed the house to be built that close to the geek. Several
manholes are within the 5 -year (or less) flood zone. One of the houses further down appears to
have the crawl. space lower than the 1 -year flood zone.

Project Update: Sunriver Phase I
Objective
The objective of this project was to restore bank stability and fish habitat from Harper Bridge to
the Sunriver Marina.
Implementation date
Project construction began in October of 1998.
Project completion summary
Planning for this project originally began in 1997 and tree placement was done in October of
1998 (see 1998 Annual Report for details). Initial riparian planting started in March of 1999 and
continues today. Planting on the Sunriver side was delayed for two years until a riparian
management plan was completed with Sunriver Resort and Sunriver Owner's Association.
This year we completed planting the east side if the Deschutes River along 3.5 miles of Sunriver
ownership. Funding came from a Mr. Lawrence who donated money to ODFW to restore native
trout habitat. We used the funds to hire the National Guard Youth Challenge crew. We received
$2,200 and were able to have the kids for 10 days. We finished the planting in only four days so
we will use the rest of the time for riparian planting in 2002. Over 4,277 willows were planted in
the four days. Sunriver Anglers spent two days planting and placed 623 willows; grand total of
14
4,900 willow sticks in ground. At the request of the program leader I wrote up a written test
covering all aspects of willow planting.
The project has been very successful at causing deposition and stopping erosion. Hundreds of
tons of sediment have deposited and some of the trees are being buried by it and the subsequent
spread of existing sedge beds. Planting success has been varied because this was only our
second attempt at riparian planting and we were short on experience. Since then we have learned
more about the "art" of riparian plantings and are having more success.
Critical elements of successful planting include: quality planting stock and good planting
techniques, judging water flow and planting elevation for the year of planting and subsequent
years (matter of inches), beaver activity in the area and the presence of large woody debris to
protect plantings and cause deposition. Learning how is a matter of one-on-one teaching and
willingness to go back year after year to learn from mistakes and successes. Plantings take
several years to mature and become established (free to spread on their own).

La Pine State Park willow planting
Objective
The objective was to experiment with willow planting in a medium slope area with a gravel toe
using the driven willow stick method.
Implementation date
Willow planting occurred in April of 2001. The original M&E funding for the wood placement
portion of this project occurred in 1992; actual placement was in 1997.
Project completion summary
Local fishing clubs occasionally ask us if we want help on field projects such as fish habitat
restoration. It is good as education for both the clubs and ODFW. COF has an annual field
project calendar and willow planting was on the schedule for 2001. Five members volunteered
to help us for a day planting willows at La Pine State Park.
Thousand Trails Resort, near Sunriver, allowed us to come in and cut willows and we
transported them with an ODFW trailer. Thousand Trails was very happy to have us cut willows
and they will be a future source for many years. Approximately 800 willows sticks were planted
in 4 locations. Cutting was done in the morning and planting in the afternoon. ODFW and the
M&E Program supplied lunches.
We planted in areas we had previous success as well as an experimental area. Overall survival
varied from 5% — 25% depending on location. The experimental area was a medium -slope bank
(but very tall) with no woody debris and a gravel toe slope. Success was about 25% and we will
try other techniques next time. We are testing to see if willows and sedge are sufficient to
stabilize the toe of sites with these characteristics.
Lack of success is partially related to high placement of wood during high water that occurred in
1997. Gaps under the trees are not diverting water and the wood needs to be repositioned during
a low-water year. This coming winter will probably be low but funding is not sufficient to keep
the project technician working. Repositioning and anchoring is approximately a 1.5 month job
with a walking excavator, anchoring crew, technician and biologist. Cost will be in the
neighborhood of $11,000.
The park will need additional planting in 2002.

Odell Creek Phase I & II projects cable replacement
Objective
The objective was to replace cable that had rusted out and pull wood back to the channel that
floated away.
Implementation date
Cable replacement took place during several days in July, August and September 2001.
Project completion summary
We replaced all the rusted out cable on these two projects with larger 7/16" cable. This should
last until the wood becomes non-functional.
The original projects were completed in 1992 and 1994 with 1/4" and 3/16" cable. This cable
was dewatered every year so we had a useful life of 7-9 years. Similar -age cable in Wickiup
Reservoir that does not get dewatered every year is in good condition and should provide many
more years of life. This was completed during the late summer and many fish were observed
traveling upstream from the warm water in Davis Lake and holding in the structures.
Several trees had broken loose of the boulders and floated up on dry ground. We planned on
moving these back with a battery and pickup winch but this proved useless. The winch was very
slow and it used up batteries very quickly.
Our fallback position was to use the rubber -tracked machine owned by the Deschutes National
Forest. Unfortunately by the time the machine and operator could be scheduled fish were
already spawning in Odell Creek. Redds were most likely built by kokanee but we never saw
fish spawning or carcasses present.
Hopefully, the wood rearranging will be done next year with additional wood and boulders
supplied by the Crescent Ranger District for a Phase III project. No photos are available for this
cable replacement project.

Oldham sedge planting with 4-H Fishing Club
Objective
The objective was to work with the 4-H club to supplement sedge plantings at the Oldham
project.
Implementation date
Project construction originally began in Fall of 1997. The initial sedge and willow planting
occurred later that winter during Spring 1998.
Proiect comDletion s
Bill Dilworth, 4-11 Fishing Club coordinator, contacted us in August 2001 about projects for his
kids. They were boys and girls age 6-16 from the local area. The Oldham project needed
replanting so we planned a day (November 2001) to dig and rep!ant sedge. The M&E Program
supplied lunches and tools and the club supplied labor.
Approximately 416 sedge clumps were planted in 2 1/2 hours; work conditions were cold and
windy, the kids worked very hard. George Oldham assisted with planting and transported the
crew and sedges across the river with his boat. At lunch they fired up their grill and we had
some hot hamburgers in addition to the cold lunches; his wife baked cookies for the crew. Next
time we will make sure we have hot food on cold days and cold food on hot days.
We, consider the Oldham project to be completely planted and just have the large woody debris
replacement on the Jon Moreland property to put the project to rest. We will be working with
Moreland to replace the trees he cut and moved. Oldham captured 2 trees drifting by with his
boat and chained them to existing material.
We do plan on using the Oldham property for additional plantings as experiments. We have a
good working relationship with the Oldham's and they are willing to continue to build on the
project. Photos of this project are on the front cover of this report.
