North Fort Siuslaw Road and Landslide Assessment Sampling and Analysis Plan
Client - Tillamook Estuaries Partnership
Tillamook Bay Watershed Physical Habitat Study Demeter Design has developed and implemented an aquatic habitat monitoring and assessment program for the Tillamook Bay Watershed. This project utilized and extended the core statistical procedures and field protocols developed by the EPA under the Environmental Assessment and Monitoring Program. The report above represents the results and conclusions of a two year, detailed assessment of current condition. A monitoring program utilizing a stratified, rotating panel design will build upon the results of this initial assessment. This project was conducted under contract to the Tillamook Estuaries Partnership. This project was funded by the CWA and NEP and OWEB. Initial phase completed 2009.
Tillamook Bay Watershed Sediment Study Quality Assurance Plan
Netarts Bay Watershed Habitat Study, Limiting Factors Analysis, and Restoration Plan Demeter Design has developed a site specific restoration plan for the Netarts Bay Watershed based on project specific field surveys, available data on aquatic habitat, salmonid abundance, water quality, fish passage, and land management practices. As a component of this project, Demeter Design is collecting a comprehensive dataset on aquatic and riparian habitat. This project was funded by OWEB. Project completed 2008.
Client - Tillamook Bay Watershed Council
Tillamook River Limiting Factors Analysis and Coho Restoration Plan Demeter Design has developed a site specific restoration plan for the Tillamook River Watershed based on project specific field surveys, available data on aquatic habitat, salmonid abundance, water quality, fish passage, and land management practices.
