Coast Fork Willamette Watershed Council

The Lower Coast Fork Willamette Watershed Sub-basin Assessment -- Oregon

Completed June 2005

The Assessment Credits

Project Manager
Phil Jones

The project manager is responsible for assigning tasks, contacting stakeholders, and tracking and coordinating the completion of the assessment components. The project manager may also help with data acquisition and facilitate data transfer between the people working on individual components.

Community Input

Local property owners, local and community leaders, community action groups, and other stakeholders in the watershed were kept appraised of the assessment actions through regular monthly meetings and other methods of contact. It is important that all parties understand that a watershed assessment cannot address all potential community concerns or issues.

Assessment Team

Completing an assessment is a big commitment in time and resources. It would be very difficult for a single person to compile an entire watershed assessment in a timely manner. Hence, a team of people are involved in completing the process. This watershed assessment process is designed for people who do not necessarily have specialized technical training. We will utilize staff on the watershed council, volunteers, students, consultants, and a mix of people who have the skills and can commit the time to complete this assessment.
