Appendix A: Public Participation Legacy

 This appendix describes the original planning process of the Corvallis Forest Stewardship Plan, which was developed over a 2-year period in 2005 and 2006.  Appendix A
Appendix B: Fish and Aquatic Resources This appendix describes the current physical and biotic condition of the Rock Creek aquatic corridor, which is strongly influenced by historic upslope forest management, as well as municipal infrastructure (roads, dams, trash racks and water diversions). This includes fish habitat condition, fish populations, Basin Scale temperature regimes, and cumulative Impacts on fish.  Appendix B

Appendix D: Natural Resources Inventory 2010 Final Report: Understory vegetation baseline monitoring in the City of Corvallis Rock Creek Watershed. The purpose of the project was to provide baseline data on understory vegetation in forested habitats within the Corvallis Forest so that effects of forest management actions on plant diversity, understory structure, and exotic species can be monitored in the future. 2010 Understory vegetation baseline monitoring report
Appendix E: Social Impact Analysis 2012 Analysis of social impact on the Corvallis Forest.  Social Impact Analysis
Appendix F: Stream Temperature Monitoring 2010-2013 Corvallis Watershed Stream Temperature Monitoring report. This report documents the results of the 2013 monitoring, and compares the 2013 data to previous years’ monitoring data. Stream temperatures in the tributaries continue to meet state standards for summer water temperatures. 2013 Stream Temperature Monitoring Report
