| Notes | Water. The Siletz River had it, and somebody wanted part of it. This document , a U.S. Dept. of the Interior Appraisal Report, provides support for a proposed dam on Big Rock Creek in Polk County. There was less worry about native salmon runs in the early 1980s, and more reliance on hatcheries. The report stresses the benefits of more water for the hatchery as well as the benefits of streamflow regulation, while failing to consider potential impacts to native salmonid species. It does list proposed picnic tables and campgrounds. The dam was not built. |
