USGS - NHD – National Hydrography Dataset

USGS – DEM – Digital Elevation Model – 10 Meter resolution.

Inventory Method: The delineations were done “heads-up” in ArcMap using ARCGIS 9.3 software on

USGS digital ortho-photo quadrangles (DOQs) Natural Color imagery (1-meter ground resolution).

Imagery for the DOQ production was acquired in 20091. Aerial photo interpretation and heads-up

mapping were completed in the USFWS NWI Region 1 office in Portland, Oregon by Tim O’Neill, Rick

Griffin and Nicholas Jones, SWCA Environmental Consulting. QC during the mapping was provided

by Chris Moller, SWCA Environmental Consulting. Final QA was provided by Jim Dick, Region 2

NWI.

Field reconnaissance was conducted in August 2011. The purpose of the field work was to correlate

varying signatures found on the photography to actual ground conditions. Vegetation, soils, and

hydrologic conditions were examined at field sites.

Data Limitations: The user of the map is cautioned that, due to the limitation of mapping primarily

through aerial photo interpretation, a small percentage of wetlands may have gone unidentified. Since

the photography was taken during a particular time and season, there may be discrepancies between the

map and current field conditions. Changes in landscape which occurred after the photography was taken

would result in such discrepancies.

Classification: The wetland classifications that appear in the Oregon Coast National Wetlands

Inventory (NWI) Maps are in accordance with the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of

the United States (Cowardin et al. 1979).

General Description of the Project Area:

The project area is located in Land Resource Region A, Northwestern Forest, Forage, and Specialty

Crop Region. The area covers a portion of 93 1:24,000 USGS quads in Western Oregon. The project

area includes the communities of Tillamook, Otis, Lincoln City, Newport, Siletz, Green, Winston plus

several other rural Oregon communities. The primary economies of the region include agriculture,

grazing, forestry, fisheries, and tourism/recreation.

In this area, summer is warm and hot in most valleys and cooler in the mountains. Summer precipitation

falls as showers with some thunderstorms occurring. Winters are temperate. Snow and freezing

temperatures are not common except at higher elevations. Precipitation falls in the mountains throughout

the year, and some deep snowpack accumulates.

Average annual temperatures range from a minimum of 27 to a high of 53 degrees F and an average

daily temperature of 45 to 55 degrees. There are between 185 and 365 frost-free days per year

depending on elevation.

The average annual precipitation is between 20 and 140 inches in the area. A majority of the

precipitation in the fall, winter and spring is rain and some snow in higher elevation throughout the

coastal mountains, which averages from 80 to 140 inches.

The major geologic features of the area are diverse. These include igneous, metamorphic and

sedimentary features. Soils are diverse as well. Andisols, Alfisols, Inceptisols, Mollisols, Spodisols,

Entisols, and Ultisols present within the soil landscape.

Description of wetlands: A diversity of wetlands occurs within the Oregon Coast project area. The

complex geology of the region supports wet meadows, slope wetlands, sloughs, springs, lacustrine

fringe wetlands, palustrine wetlands adjacent to riverine systems, tidally influenced riverine and

estuarine systems, and other estuarine wetlands. Wetland systems of Lacustrine, Riverine, Estuarine,

and Palustrine are represented in the subject area. Deepwater habitats are areas that are permanently

flooded and are characterized by open water on the aerial photography. These habitats are present in the

Estuarine, Lacustrine and Riverine systems. Unvegetated wetlands, present in all systems, include bars,

flats, and rocky shores. Emergent wetlands occur in the Estuarine, Palustrine, and Lacustrine systems.

There is a prevalence of wet meadow. Scrub-shrub and forested wetlands occur within the Palustrine

systems. In the Palustrine system, these wetlands occur along the banks and floodplains of drainages, in

bogs, swamps, at or below seeps and springs, and in depressions.

Description of attribute values: This table reflects classification to the class level and the water

regime only. No intent is made to capture Subclasses in this table since subclass designations were

made for each polygon associated with the geodatabase.

Description of Special Modifiers:

SPECIAL MODIFIER DESCRIPTION

b

Beaver - Wetland is created, modified or supported by

the action of beavers. The beaver modifier is used on all

delineations where visible hydrologic changes have

occurred due to beaver activity.

d

Partially Drained - The water level has been artificially

lowered, but the area is still classified as wetland

because soil moisture is sufficient to support

hydrophytes. This modifier is also used to indicate

extensive ditch networks in wetlands where, due to the

complexity or narrow width of the ditches, individual

delineation is not possible.

f

Farmed - The soil surface has been mechanically or

physically altered for production of crops, but

hydrophytes will become re-established if farming is

discontinued.

h

Diked/Impounded - Created or modified by a man-made

barrier or dam which obstructs the inflow or outflow of

water.

r

Artificial - Substrates classified as Rock Bottom,

Unconsolidated Bottom, Rocky Shore and

Unconsolidated Shore that were emplaced by man using

natural or synthetic materials.

x Excavated - Lies within a basin or channel excavated by

man.

Memorandum

To: Chief, Division ofHabitat and Resource Conservation, Region 9 Washington D.C.

From: Assistant Regional Director, Ecological Services, Region 1 Portland, Oregon

Subject: National Wetland Inventory, Region 1, Quality Review Certification, 2011 Projects

The National Wetland Inventory (NWI) Region 1 staff completed the wetland and deepwater habitat maps for:

• Siletz Bay National Wildlife Refuge (NWR), Oregon • Oregon Coast Range, • Northern Idaho map updates, and • Owyhee River Basin, southwest Idaho scan data conversion.

Per program policy, the database for each project was transmitted to the National Standards and Support Team for their use in updating the NWI Master Geodatabase. The purpose of this memo is to transmit the NWI Quality Review Certifications (Attachments 1, 2, 3 and 4).

The map update for Siletz Bay NWR, the Oregon Coast Range and the Northern Idaho project areas were provided by NWI contractors; Rusty Griffin, Tim ONeill, Nick Jones, Rick Griffin, and Joey Roberts, SWCA Inc. Regional Quality Control (QC) during the interpretation and on the final submission for national Quality Assurance (QA) was provided by Rusty Griffin and Chris Moller, SWCA Inc., and the Region 1 NWI Coordinator, Bill Kirchner. National QA for the three projects was provided by the Region 2 NWI Coordinator, Jim Dick. The Region certifies that the wetlands geospatial data submission for these projects has gone through all regional quality review steps and meets NWI data requirements for completeness and quality.

Funding for the digitizing ofraster scans in the Owyhee River Basin, southwest Idaho, was provided by the Idaho Bureau ofLand Management. Digitizing of 83 NWI scanned maps was conducted by Tim ONeill and Westin Kemtz. QC for the conversion and for the final submission was provided by Rick Griffin. Final QA for the scan conversion data was provided by Bill Kirchner. The Region certifies that the wetlands geospatial data submission for this project has gone through all regional quality review steps and meets NWI data requirements for completeness and quality.
