| Notes | Accounts of the December, 1981 floods are given. The account for the Umpqua River Basin is extensive. "In the Umpqua River area, biologist Dave Anderson tells another story of too much water and dirt. Anderson writes, 'Slides have been occurring on the Smith and Lower Umpqua River tributaries for the last 8-10 years, since logging has accelerated in that couty. Some streams that had spawning ground counts were no longer counted in the late '60's and '70's due to habitat destruction. . . . this past winter had serious slide problems . . . . I would estimate that 40 percent of the entire coho production in the Umpqua basin was destroyed during the winter of 1981-82." |
