Dams within Deschutes HCP

After over a decade of development, the Deschutes Basin Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) was finalized and approved by FWS on December 31, 2020 and guides irrigation water management in the Deschutes River Basin in central Oregon for the next 30 years. The HCP covers the storage, release, diversion, and return of irrigation water from five major reservoirs in the basin, and includes conservation measures that adjust the timing, volume, and duration of irrigation releases to better align with wildlife needs. Spanning six counties and over 10,000 square miles, the scope of the HCP is vast and its effects to streamflows, to wildlife, and to thousands of downstream water users is complex and varied. The first year of implementation of the HCP finds central Oregon in record drought conditions, where low reservoir levels and water shortages can be felt by all who rely on the river for their livelihoods. Public interest in this HCP is high, and solid, proactive outreach from FWS on how the HCP impacts the basin – and how it benefits both people and wildlife – is imperative. The Deschutes Basin HCP Web App is a visual complement to our outreach and education efforts on the effects of the HCP. The Web App will be critical in our efforts to inform partners and the public about the various and intricate ways water management in the basin is changing under the HCP and its implications for people and for wildlife.
Resilience View

Overview of Spatial Design Goals and Process: A key principle of Landscape Conservation Design is that “Stakeholders design landscape configurations that promote resilient and sustainable social-ecological systems” (Campellone et al, 2018). From Campellone et al: (2018): “A beneficial aspect of stakeholder engagement in spatial design is the development of a deeper trust that the models used to identify priorities integrate their interests with other information and knowledge, which furthers social learning and collective agreement on resource allocation and landscape objectives (Melillo et al., 2014). Overall, the co-development of a spatial design helps organize landscape elements while maintaining and improving stakeholder buy-in (De Groot, Alkemade, Braat, Hein, &amp; Willemen, 2009; Melillo et al., 2014).”Analytical Question: Create a prototype landscape design that integrates multiple values on the landscape including wildlife conservation, forest and agriculture production, recreation, cultural and human health. The prototype will be created based upon readily available data. This analysis will be used to understand landscape-scale conservation and working landscape priorities, while incorporating other important values. The blueprint will be used to represent a sustainable landscape in the future. We can include social network perspective as part of a potential suite of design products, such as implementation capacity.Desired Outcome: A map or maps that represents a balance of multiple values on the landscape, with a focus on conservation and working landscape values.

Middle Deschutes River

Measure DR 1: Middle Deschutes River Flow Outside the Irrigation Season Responsible Permittees: [AID], [COID], [SID] Species Affected: bull trout, steelhead, sockeye salmon Three DBBC Districts (AID, COID and SID) will coordinate stock water diversions and other diversions of live flow from the Deschutes River between November 1 and March 31 to prevent such diversions from resulting in a 1 day average flow of less than 250 cfs (±25 cfs) at [Hydromet Station DEBO] ([OWRD Gage 14070500]) below Bend. If flow in the Deschutes River upstream of Bend ([Hydromet Station BENO]) is less than 250 cfs, the three DBBC Districts will not conduct stock water diversions or other diversions of live flow from the Deschutes River, but they also will have no obligation to release storage beyond the requirements of Conservation Measure WR 1, or otherwise augment flow, in order to provide 250 cfs at DEBO. AID, COID and SID shall have no obligation to reduce diversions to account for simultaneous diversions by other parties between BENO and DEBO. If the flow at BENO minus the combined diversions by AID, COID and SID is ≥250 cfs, but the flow at DEBO is <250 cfs due to simultaneous diversion or retention of water by another party, AID, COID and SID shall be considered in compliance with this measure. In addition, none of the three Districts shall be found out of compliance with this measure during any time they are not actively diverting water from the Deschutes River.

VAFO_Priority_Bird_Areas

This geospatial layer depicts priority migratory bird areas in Virginia identified as Important Bird Areas (IBAs) by Audubon as the U.S. partner for BirdLife International. They identify, monitor, and protect the most important places for birds, which depend upon a large range of habitats and face numerous threats. The purpose of the layers to provide a tool to help prioritize conservation efforts in these places upon which birds depend. The geospatial layer includes the name of the IBA, the common name of the highest priority bird species, the identification number of the Bird Conservation Region (BCR), and the BCR rank. According to the U.S. North American Bird Conservation Initiative (NABCI), "Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) are ecologically distinct regions in North America with similar bird communities, habitats, and resource management issues within their boundaries".

GCJV FY 2017 NAWCA Standard Grant Projects Feature Layer

NAWCA grants increase bird populations and wetland habitat, while supporting local economies and American traditions such as hunting, fishing, bird watching, family farming, and cattle ranching. Wetlands protected by NAWCA provide valuable benefits such as flood control, reducing coastal erosion, improving water and air quality, and recharging ground water. In the past two decades, the North American Wetlands Conservation Act has funded over 3,000 projects totaling $1.83 billion in grants. More than 6,350 partners have contributed another $3.75 billion in matching funds to affect 30 million acres of habitat. ABOUT THE GRANTS PROGRAM The NAWCA program provides matching grants to wetlands conservation projects in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. There is a Standard and a Small Grants Program. Both are competitive grants programs and require that grant requests be matched by partner contributions at no less than a 1-to-1 ratio.

This layer depicts the conservation easements within National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska that are jointly administered by the State of Alaska and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. This is one of four conservation easement layers that are shown in the FWS Alaska Region Land Mapper. The U.S. Fish & wildlife Service, Region 7 (Alaska) Land Mapper is an online mapping application that depicts land ownership and other related features within and adjacent to the sixteen National Wildlife Refuges within Alaska. Users can selectively display and query the various data layers to get information relevant to the Refuges. This can be useful for trip planning, field work, hunting, fishing, and other recreational activities. Additionally, the Mapper provides links to downloadable maps of the Refuges.
