Riparian And Wetlands Project Inventory Updates
This page provides the most current and past project inventory reports. The inventory is updated as new information is produced and collected by project staff.
Benton County Voluntary Program for Riparian Resources - Monitoring Protocol, Findings
Project staff are currently working with Advisory Group members with intern support from Oregon State University-Biological Engineering to finalize a protocol for monitoring riparian vegetation cover. A final draft of the monitoring protocol will be provided for review.
Benton County Riparian and Wetlands Inventory Report (5/8/11 draft)
Review the full Benton County Riparian and Wetlands Inventory Report (below)
The first Draft Benton County Riparian and Wetlands Inventory Report was released for public review on 12/17/10; notice was provided via email, project website, and local newspapers and newsletters. Public comments were provided by county landowners and residents, Riparian and Wetland Advisory Group participants, State/local government, and many others. In addition, Benton County held additional community meetings with approximately one-hundred attendees in the community of Alsea, to share project work to date, and was provided with additional input on improving the draft report.
Ongoing Listening Sessions led by a Benton County graduate student intern, also provided landowners with additional one-on-one discussions to learn more about the project and provide ideas for improving the inventory and any proposed code.
Based on the range of input received from December 2010 to April 2011, several updates to the Draft Inventory were completed by project staff.
