1.0 INTRODUCTION
The City of Depoe Bay (City), through a grant from the Department of Land Conservation and
Development, hired Pacific Habitat Services, Inc. (PHS) to condtzct a Local Wetlands Inventory
(LWI), a Riparian Inventory and a review of wildlife habitat, shoreline, forest lands, and open
space areas within the City's approximately 1,140-acre Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The
UGB extends from just south of Boiler Bay State Wayside in the north to Whale Cove in the
south. Highway 101 is the main road through the City.
The goal of the study is to address the requirements of Statewide Planning Goal 5 (Natural
Resources, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Open Spaces) and Goal 17 (Coastal Shorelands)
Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) Section 660, Division 23.
The objective of Goa15 is to "protect natural resources and conserve scenic, historic and open
space resources for present and future generations." Goal 17 specifically addresses coastal
shorelands. It is intended "to conserve, protect, where appropriate, develop and where
appropriate restore the resources and benefits of all coastal shorelands, recognizing their value
for protection and maintenance of water quality, fish and wildlife habitat, water-dependent
uses, economic resources and recreation and aesthetics." Goal 17 applies to an area called the
coastal shorelands planning area, which is generally all lands bordering the ocean, estuaries,
and coastal lakes, and lands west of Highway 101.
Specifically, the City hired PHS to determine the location and extent of wetlands; assess the
quality of the wetlands; determine which of the Goa15 wetlands are Locally Significant
Wetlands according to state administrative rules (OAR 141-86-300-350); determine which of
the Goal 17 wetlands are Major Marshes and inventory and assess the quality of riparian
areas. This report presents the results of both the wetlands and the riparian inventories and
assessments. It also discusses wildlife habitat, open space, forested lands, and the shoreline.
The study area is defined by the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and the City limits of the City
of Depoe Bay. Depoe Bay is located in the coastal area of Lincoln County (Township 9 South,
Range 11 West, Sections 5, 8, 17 and Township 8 South, Range 11 West, Section 32, Willamette
Meridian).
The two major streams within the study area are North and South Depoe Bay Creeks. The
approximate study area is shown on Figure 1. All figures are in Appendix A.
l.l Report Format
This report begins by discussing the definitions used in the report and inventory (Section 2),
followed by the methodology used to conduct the field work for the LWI and the riparian
inventozy, the wetland and riparian assessment methodology, and the methodology used to
produce the maps for the inventory (Section 3). Section 4 discusses the project cartography.
Section 5 is the study area characteristics, such as the climate, topography, soils and
vegetation; Section 6 discusses the Local Wetlands Inventory results, including wetland
City of Depoe Bay

Page 1
distribution, acreage, Cowardin classification and the results of the Oregon Freshwater
Wetland Assessment Methodology; Section 7 presents the significant wetlands in the project
area; Section 8 provides the results of the riparian inventory and assessment results; Sections
9, 10, 1 l, and 12 discuss the results of wildlife habitat, shorelands, forested lands, and open
space, respectively. Section 13 presents the staff qualifications, while Section 14 summarizes
the project; and Section 15 provides a list of the references used in the report.
There are eight appendices to the report. Appendix A contains figures illustrating general
location, soils and the National Wetlands Inventory maps of the study area. Tt also contains maps
showing the wetland, riparian, wildlife habitat, shorelands, forested lands, and open space
inventory results.
Appendix B contains the wetland characterization forms for each wetland, organized by wetland
code. The characterization sheets note wetland location, tax lots, acreage, Cowardin
classification, Hydrogeomorphic classification, soil series, wetland vegetation; adjacent upland
vegetation, and other notes related to adjacent wetlands or hydrology. This form was completed
for each wetland unit, regardless of whether it was an on-site or off-site determination. If it was
an on-site determination, sample point numbers are noted. Locally significant wetlands and major
marshes are also noted on the characterization form. A suminary sheet showing which tax lots
contain wetland is also included.
Appendix C contains the wetland determination data forms. These forms document the sample
points taken for the on-site wetlands and adj acent uplands. Hydrology, soils, and dominant
vegetation are recorded for each sample point in order to determine whether it is wetland or
upland.
Appendix D is the Oregon Freshwater Wetland Assessment Methodology data and summary for
each wetland unit. Each wetland's functions and conditions are assessed according to an
established state methodology. The results and rationale are also suinmarized for each wetland
unit. Appendix E contains the determination of significance for each wetland unit.
Appendix F contains the riparian characterization, riparian width forms, and the riparian
assessment, and a summary sheet show the tax lots with riparian areas. Appendix G contains the
Wildlife Habitat Assessment Forms, and Appendix H contains a listing of plant species
encountered or expected within the project area. Appendix I includes OFWAM Field Fortns and
Watershed Summary Tables, that helped answer the OFWAM Assessment.
2.0 DEFINITIONS
These terms helped define the methodology used for the City of Depoe Bay Local Wetlands
Inventory and may be referred to in this report.
1987 Manual
The Corps o�En�aneers Wetlands Delineation Manual, Technical Report Y-87-1.
(Environmental Laboratory 1987)
City of Depoe Bay
Local Wetlands and Riparian Inventories
Page 2
This manual is used by the Army Corps of Engineers ("Corps") and the Oregon Division
of State Lands ("DSL") to document the location of wetlands within the State of Oregon.
The 1987 manual provides technical criteria, field indicators, and recommended
procedures to be used in determining whether an area is a jurisdictional wetland.
Undisturbed areas require three criteria for them to be classified as wetland. These
criteria are hydric soils, a dominance of hydrophytic vegetation, and wetland hydrology.
Cowardin Wetland Classification
The classification of wetlands as defined by plants, soils and the frequency of flooding
as described in "Classification of wetlands and deepwater habitats of the United
States. "(Cowardin, et. a1. 1979) See Palustrine System and Estuarine System.
Estuarine System
"All tidal wetlands domanated by trees, shrubs, persistent emergents, emergent mosses
or lichens and all such wetlands that occur an tidal areas where salinity is greater than
D.S%. This includes areas traditionally called swamps, marshes, fens, as well as
shallow, permanent or intermittent water bodies called ponds. " (Cowardin et. al. 1979)
Goa15
Goal S(OAR 660, Division 23) is intended "to protect natural resources, and conserve
scenic and historic areas and open spaces. " (DLCD, 1995)
Goa117
Goal 17 specifically addresses coastal shorelands. It is intended "to conserve, protect,
where appropriate, develop and where appropriate restore the resources and benefits
of all coastal shorelands, recognizing their value for protection and maintenance of
water quality, fish and wildlife habitat, water-dependent uses, economic resources and
recreation and aesthetics. " ( DLCD, 1995)
Goal 17 applies to an area called the coastal shorelands planning area defined in the
goal, which is generally all lands bordering the ocean, estuaries, and coastal lakes.
Coastal shorelands include "natural or man-made riparian resources, especially
vegetation necessary to stabilize the shoreline and to maintain water quality and
femperature necessary for the znaintenance of fish habitat and spawning areas." Coastal
jurisdictions must inventary or identify coastal shorelands, including riparian resources.
Growing Season
"The portion of the year when soil temperatures at 19.7 inches below the soil surface
are higher than biological zero (41 ° Fahrenheit, S Celsius). "(COE, 1987)
The growing season for any given site or location is determined from Natural
Resource Conservation Service (NRCS, formerly the U.S. Soil Conservation Service
SCS) data and information. The length of the season can be approximated from frost-
free days, based on air temperature.
City of Depoe Bay
Local Wetlands and Riparian Inventories
Page 3
Hydric Soils
"Soils which are ponded, flooded, or saturated for long enough during the growing
season to develop anaerobic conditions. "(USDA, SCS, 1985)
Periodic saturation of soils causes alternation of reduced and oxidized conditions
which leads to the formation of redoximorphic features (gleying and mottling).
Mineral hydric soils will be either gleyed or will have bright mottles and/or low matrix
chroma. The redoximorphic feature known as gley is a result of greatly reduced soil
conditions, which result in a characteristic grayish, bluish or greenish soil color. The
term mottling is used to describe areas of contrasting color within a soil matrix. The
soil matrix is the portion of the soil layer that has the predominant color. Soils that
have brightly colored mottles and a low matrix chroma are indicative of a fluctuating
water table.
Hydric soil indicators include: organic content of greater than 50% by volume, sulfidic
material or "rotten egg" smell, and/or presence of redoximorphic features and dark soil
matrix, as determined by the use of a Munsell Soil Color Chart. This chart establishes
the chroma, value and hue of soils based on comparison with color chips. Mineral
hydric soils usually have a matrix chroma of 2 or less in mottled soils, or a matrix
chroma of 1 or less in unmottled soils.
Hydrogeomorphic (HGM) Wetland Classification
A method of assessing wetlands usang the physacal, chemical, and biological functions
of wetlands. It is based on the relationship of geomorphic setting, water source, and
hydrodynamics. (Brinson, 1993)
Hydrophytic Vegetation
"Plant life growing in water or on a substrate that is at least periodicaldy deficient in
oxygen as a result of excessive water content. "(National Resource Council, 1995)
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in the National List of Plant Species that Occur in
Wetlands, has established f ve basic groups of vegetation based on their frequency of
occurrence in wetlands. These categories, referred to as the "wetland indicator status,"
are as follows: obligate wetland plants (OBL), facultative wetland (FACW),
facultative (FAC), facultative upland (FACi�, and obligate upland (UPL).
Local Wetlands Inventory (LWI)
An inventory of all wetlands greater than 0.5 acres in size within a local jurisdiction
using the standards and procedures of OAR 141-86-110 through 141-86-240.
In 1989, the Oregon State legislature authorized DSL to develop a statewide wetlands
inventory for planning and regulatory purposes. Accordingly, DSL established Local
Wetlands Inventory (LWI) standards and guidelines under ORS 196.674. An approved
LWI replaces the National Wetlands Inventory maps and is incorporated into the
statewide wetlands inventory.
City of Depoe Bay
Local Wetlands and Riparian Inventories
Page 4
An LWI is conducted using color or color infrared aerial photographs taken within 5
years of the inventory initiation and at a minimum scale of 1 inch = 400 feet
(1" = 400'). Wetlands are located using the on-site option where access to property is
allowed, or off-site where access is denied. Wetlands can be mapped off-site by using
information such as topographic and National Wetlands Inventory maps, aerial
photographs, and soils surveys.
The approximate location of wetlands is placed on a parcel-based map. The parcel-
based map allows the property owner, the local jurisdiction, and DSL, to know which
tax lots may contain wetlands.
The maps and documents produced for the LWI are intended for planning purposes
only. Mapped wetland boundaries are accurate to within 25 feet; however, there may
be unmapped wetlands that are subject to regulation. In all cases, actual field
conditions determine wetland boundaries.
Palustrine 5ystem (e.g. PEM)
"All nontidal wetlands dominated by trees, shrubs, persistent emergents, emergent
mosses or lichens and all such wetlands that occur in tidal areas where salinity is less
than 0.5%. This includes areas traditionally called swamps, marshes, fens, as well as
shallow, permanent or intermittent water bodies called ponds. "(Cowardin et. al. 1979)
• Unconsolidated bottom (PUB)
A wetland and deepwater habitats with at least 25% cover of particles smaller than
stones and a vegetative cover less than 30%.
• Emergent Wetland (PEM)
These wetlands have rooted herbaceous vegetation which stand erect above the water
or ground surface.
Scrub-shrub Wetland (PSS)
Wetlands dominated by shrubs and tree saplings that are less than 20 feet high.
• Forested Wetland (PFO)
Wetlands dominated by trees that are greater than 20 feet high.
Riparian Area
"The area immediately adjacent to a water resource, which affects or is affected by the
water resource. Riparian areas do not include the water resource itself. "(PHS, 1998)
City of Depoe Bay
Local Wetlands and Riparian Inventories
Page 5
Riparian Assessment
"Determining the relative quality of a riparian area by assessing its functions. " (PHS,
1998)
An evaluation of the ability of the riparian area to provide water quality, flood
management, thermal regulation, and wildlife habitat functions. The methodology
generally used to determine the relative quality of riparian areas for purposes of an
inventory is The Urban Riparian Inventory and Assessment Cncide.
Riparian Function
A characteristic action or role provided by riparian areas, such as water quality;
flood management; thermal regulation; and wildlife habitat. (PHS, 1998)
Riparian Inventory
An inventory of location and extent of riparian areas within the boundaries of the Local
Wetlands Inventory using "The Urban Riparaan Inventory and Assessment Guide. "
Riverine System
°'The riverine system ancludes all wetlands and deepwater habitats contained within a
channel. " ( Cowardin, et. al. 1979)
Waters of the State
Natural water-ways ancluding all tidal and nontidal bays, intermittent streams,
constantly flowing streams, lakes, wetlands and other bodies of water an this state,
navagable and nonnavigable. Natural waterways are definecl as: waterways created
naturally by geologacal and hydrological processes, and waterways that would be
natural but for human-caused disturbances (e.g. channelized or culverted streams,
ampounded waters, partially drained wetlands or ponds created an wetlands). (ORS
196.800-196.990, 1995)
Water Resource
"An intermittent or perennial stream, pond, river, lake and including their adjacent
wetlands. " ( PHS, 1998)
Wetland
"Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a
frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do
support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil
conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas. "
(Federal Register 1982).

Wetland Assessment
Determining the relative quality of a wetland by assessang its functions and
conditions. The methodology generally used to determine the relative quality of
wetlands for purposes of an LWI is the Oregon Freshwater Wetland Assessment
Methodology. (Roth, et. al. 1996)
Wetland Condition
"The antegrity of a wetland's physical and biological structure. This determines the
ability of the wetland to perform specific functaons, as well as ats resaltence and
enhancement opportunataes. " (Roth et al., 1996)
Wetland Function
'A characteristic action or behavior associated with a wetland that contributes to a
larger ecological condition such as wildlife habitat, water quality and/or flood
control. " ( Roth, et. al. 1996)
Wetland Hydrology
"Permanent or periodic inundation or prolonged soil saturation sufficient to create
anaerobic conditions in the upper soil profile. " (COE, 1987)
Wetland hydrology is related to duration of saturation, frequency of saturation, and
critical depth of saturation. The 1987 manual defines wetland hydrology as inundation
or saturation within a major portion of the root zone (usually above 12 inches),
typically for at least 12.5% of the growing season. The wetland hydrology criterion
can be met, however, if saturation within the major portion of the root zone is present
for only 5% of the growing season, depending on other evidence.
Wetlands Regulation
Wetlands in Oregon are regulated by the Division of State Lands (DSL) under the
Removal-Fill Law (ORS 196.800-196.990) and by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(Corps) through Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
3.0 PROJECT METHODOLOGY
3.1 Public Involvement
Prior to beginning the inventory, the City of Depoe Bay mailed notices to selected landowners
who may have wetlands or riparian areas on their property. Landowners who had areas of
mapped hydric soils, soils with hydric inclusions, National Wetlands Inventory mapped
wetlands, or suspected wetland or streams received a notice of permission for site access.
City of Depoe Bay
Local Wetlands and Riparian bzventories
Page 7
Individual landowners were contacted directly by either the City or PHS. Access information
was then transferred to the base map for use in the field.
Two public meetings were held during the course of the inventory. The first meeting was held
on August 13, 2003, to introduce the project to the residents of Depoe Bay. This meeting was
held prior to the date required for return of the access request letters to answer any questions
affected landowners may have for representatives of the City and PHS.
The second public meeting was held on December 4, 2003, to present the draft results of the
inventory to members of the City Planning Commission, City Council and residents of Depoe
Bay.
3.2 Local Wetlands Inventory Methodology
3.2.1 Routine Off-site Determination
Prior to beginning field work, off-site mapping was conducted to determine the approximate
location of wetland boundaries based on available information. This information included the
USGS topographic quadrangles, the draft soil survey maps for Lincoln County Area (NRCS,
2001), the National Wetlands Inventory maps (USFWS, July 1982), and true color aerial
photographs (July 9, 2002; 1"=400'). If access was allowed, the wetland boundaries were
verified in the field (see Section 3.2.2). If access was not granted, the boundaries were based on
the mapping conducted in the office, and on observation of wetland boundaries from adjacent
roads, or properties, if possible.
3.2.2 Routine On-site Determination
Where property access permission had been granted, on-site observation and inspection of
soils, vegetation, and hydrology were made using the Routine On-site Method of the 1987
manual. Soil pits were excavated up to a depth of approximately 18-inches in selected
locations. The soil profiles were examined for hydric soils and wetland hydrology field
indicators. A visual percent-cover estimate of the dominant species of the plant community for
a maximum 30-foot radius was conducted at each sampling location. Samp�ing locations were
chosen to document a change in the wetland boundary and a particular plant community, Data
was recorded in the field and transferred to computer-generated wetland delineation data sheets
(Appendix C).
Field work for the inventory was conducted between May and October, 2003. No wetland
boundaries were staked or flagged in the field.

3.3 Wetland Quality Assessment
3.3.1 The Oregon Freshwater Wetland Assessment Methodology
The quality of wetlands in the study area was assessed using the Oregon Freshwater Wetland
Assessment Methodology (OFWAIV� (Roth et al. 1996). OFWAM was developed by an
interagency committee to assess the relative quality of wetlands primarily for planning and
educational purposes. Copies of the methodology are available from DSL for a fee. OFWAM
does not assign a numeric ranking to the wetlands, but does determine the relative quatity of
six functions and three conditions for each of the wetlands. A description of each of the
functions and conditions is included below.
Wetland Functions
Wildlife habitat: Evaluates the habitat diversity for species usually associated with wetlands,
without emphasizing one particular species. Wetlands assessed by OFWAM can provide
diverse habitat for wildlife, habitat for some wildlife species, or does not provide habitat.
�'ish habitat: Evaluates how a wetland contributes to fish habitat in streams, ponds or lakes
associated with a wetland. The questions are suitable for both warmwater and coldwater fish
and no particular species is emphasized. Wetlands assessed by OFWAM can have fish habitat
function intact, impacted or degraded, or lost or not present.
Water Quality: Evaluates the potential of a wetland to reduce the impacts of excess nutrients in
storm water runoff on downstream waters. A wetland's water quality function can be assessed
by OFWAM as intact, impacted or degraded, or lost or not present.
Hydrologic control: Evaluates the effectiveness of a wetland to reduce downstream flood peaks
and store floodwaters. A wetland's hydrologic control functions can be assessed by OFWAM
as intact, impacted or degraded, or lost or not present.
Education: Evaluates the suitability of a wetland to provide educational opportunity and act as
an "outdoor classroom." A wetland assessed by OFWAM can have educational uses, have the
potential to provide, or not be appropriate for educational uses.
Recreation: Evaluates the suitability of a wetland and associated watercourses for non-powered
boating, fishing, and similar recreational activities. A wetland assessed by OFWAM can
provide, have the potential to provide, or not provide recreational opportunities.
Wetland Conditions
Sensitivity to Future Impacts: Evaluates the wetland's ability to sustain itself and its ability to
recover from future impacts. It is an indication of risk to the wetland because of future changes
in the watershed and surrounding Iand. A wetland can be assessed by OFWAM as sensitive to
future impacts, potentially sensitive to future impacts, or not sensitive to future impacts. An
undisturbed forested wetland is more sensitive to future impact than a wetland that has already
been disturbed, such as agricultural wetland.
City ofDepoe Bay
Local Wetlands and Riparian Inventories
Page 9
Enhancement Potential: Evaluates the suitability of a degraded wetland for enhancement. A
wetland providing this condition does not provide one or more of the functions assessed by
OFWAM. A wetland fulfilling this condition, therefore, would be of lower overall quality than
a wetland providing wildlife habitat, fish habitat, etc. Wetlands that provide diverse wildlife
habitat were not assessed in this section, as per the revised OFWAM. Wetlands are assessed as
either high enhancement potential, moderate enhancement potenfial, or little enhancement
potential.
Aesthetic quality: Evaluates the visual and aesthetic quality of the wetland. Wetlands can be
considered pleasing, moderately pleasing, or not pleasing.
3.3.2 Wetlands of Special Interest for Protection
The first filter in OFWAM is to determine whether the wetland is in a management plan, is
protected by regulatory rules or statutes, or is uncommon in Oregon. Ten questions are
answered for each wetland and a"yes" answer to any of the questions puts the wetland into
the "special interest for protection" category. If the wetland falls into this category, it is noted
on the wetland characterization sheet.
3.3.3 Field Methodology
During the process of determining the boundaries for the LWI, data were also collected for
the process of determining its relative quality. Data collected for this purpose are explained in
the Wetland Characterization section of OFWAM. Data collected in the field included the
Cowardin classes, the types of disturbance (if any) in the wetland area, the hydrology of the
wetland area (e.g. the location of constrictions), the presence of fish, large woody debris, the
degree of vegetative cover, and other information necessary to complete the assessment of the
wetland in the office.
If the wetland determination was off-site, the OFWAM section and wetland characterization
was based on review of the aerial photographs and knowledge of other similar or adjacent
wetlands.
3.3.4 Of�ce Assessment
Subsequent to the field work, the data collected for each wetland were used to answer
questions for each function and condition. Additional information on the wetlands, the
landscape and the general area were gathered in the office. The answers within each function
and condition section of the methodology were entered into a computer spreadsheet, which
automatically displays the results of the assessment methodology.
Prior to starting the OFWAM assessment certain criteria or baseline information was
established. The following is a list of the criteria used in answering the questions:
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has not mapped any bodies of water within
the Depoe Bay study area as water quality limited.
City of Depoe Bay
Local Wetlands and Riparian Inventories
Page 10
Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) has electroshocked creeks throughout the
study area to determine fish presence. North and South Depoe Bay Creeks contain coho,
steelhead, and cutthroat trout (ODFW, pers. comm.). This information was used in Fish
Habitat, question 6. These creeks are considered to be Essential Indigenous Anadromous
Salmonid Habitat by ODFW and DSL (DSL, OAR 141-102-030, 1996). Surprisingly, no
other creek within the Depoe Bay study area, including those within the Little Whale Cove
residential area, provide habitat for any species of fish.
The enhancement potential section was not required if the wetland was assessed with "diverse
wildlife habitat," as per OFWAM directive. In addition, question 3 was specifically directed
towards wetlands whose primary source of hydrology was surface water. If this was not the
case (i.e. primary source of hydrology is groundwater), question 3 was not answered.
3.4 Riparian Inventory
3.4.1 Urban Riparian Inventory and Assessment Guide
The Urban Riparian Inventory and Assessment Guide (Riparian Guide) was used for the
Depoe Bay Riparian Inventory. The Riparian Guide depends on a combination of best
available knowledge, field observations, and best professional judgment. The methodology is
comprised of the riparian inventory and the riparian assessment. The riparian inventory
involves gathering and assimilating information pertinent to the project site, developing a base
map, and completing the Riparian Characterization Form.
The guide was designed to work in conjunction with the LWI and relies on the same aerial
photograph or base map. In addition, coding of the riparian areas is based on hydrologic
basins, reflecting the coding system established for the LWI. The inventory portion of the
Guide depends on the completion of a Riparian Characterization Form and Riparian Width
Detertnination Form.
A completed Riparian Characterization Form provides information on the physical and
biological characteristics of the riparian area, such as vegetation, slope, adjacent land uses,
and degree of disturbance. Most of the form was completed on-site, provided access was
allowed. However, some portions, such as the mapped soil series, were completed in the
office.
The riparian width is measured from the edge of the water resource, typically either the top of
a streambank or the outer edge of a wetland, lake, or pond. The riparian potential width is
based on the dominant riparian tree species within 100 feet of the water resource. The height
of the dominant tree species at maturity will be used as a distance to define the outer riparian
boundary. The height of this tree species at maturity is called the potential tree height (PTH).
PTH is used as the potential riparian width because it represents a distance in which a tree can
still affect the water resource (e.g. shade, organic material).
City ofDepoe Bay
Local Wetlands and Riparian Inventories
Page II
Where riparian trees have been eliminated by land-use activities or natural causes, such as
development, land slides, or logging, it may be necessary to extrapolate tree heights from a
reference site. The reference site should be similar in character and landscape position and
should be located as close as possible to the riparian reach. If a reference site is used, it is
noted on the Width Determination Form. If a reference site cannot be located, field
observations and reference materials must be used to establish PTH.
Although the riparian width will never exceed the PTH, it may be less than the PTH if
impervious surfaces or permanent structures (e.g. buildings or roads) are inventonied within
the riparian area.
Completion of the Riparian Width Determination Form also requires drawing a typical cross
section through the riparian area.
3.4.2 Riparian Assessment
Riparian areas provide numerous and complex functions that affect both aquatic and
terrestrial systems. Many ecological functions of riparian areas are also provided by wetlands,
floodplains, and vegetated upland areas.
The Riparian Function Assessment evaluates the ability of the riparian area to provide water
quality, flood management, thermal regulation, and wildlife habitat functions. The results
indicate whether the functions of each reach are intact, degraded, or severely impacted. The
assessment is completed by answering a series of questions. Most of the questions are
intended to be answered using data from the Riparian Characterization Form.
Because certain elements or characteristics of a riparian area are more critical to its function,
the answers are "weighted." The points are then totaled for each side and for each function.
Based on the score, the riparian function will be assessed as high, medium or low.
The results of the Riparian Function Assessment for all of the riparian areas within the
inventory study area are then transferred to a Riparian Function Assessment Summary Tab1e.
3.4.3 Riparian Functions
Water Quality
Riparian areas can enhance water quality in many ways. Undisturbed, densely vegetated
riparian areas trap sediments, inhibit erosion and filter runoff originating from impervious
surfaces, lawns, golf courses, etc.
Sedimentation and erosion, although natural processes, are accelerated in urban areas by
increased impervious surfaces. Impervious surfaces also inhibit infiltration. Sediment within a
riparian area can be from erosion of poorly vegetated uplands, runoff from impervious
surfaces, or floods from an adjacent water resource. Sediments often carry nutrients (e.g.
phosphates and nitrates) and pollutants (e.g. heavy metals, hydrocarbons) to water resources,
altering water chemistry, burying spawning gravels and impacting fish and wildlife habitat.
City of Depoe Bay
Local Wetlancls and Riparian Inventories
Page 12
Excessive concentration of nutrients in the water can trigger algal blooms, depleting the water
of oxygen required by fish and other aquatic orgarusms.
The ability of a riparian area to resist erosion is related to slope, soil type, type of vegetation,
vegetation cover, landscape position, and degree of human disturbance.
Flood Management
Riparian areas and associated wetlands and floodplains provide a valuable flood management
function by reducing the force and volume of floodwaters. Floodwaters flowing into a
vegetated flood prone ripanian area can be slowed or temporarily stored, reducing peak flows
and flooding downstream. Woody vegetation, in particular, resists floodwaters and reduces its
velocity. Topographic features, such as swales and depressions, can enhance a riparian area's
ability to manage flood flows. Reducing the velocity of floodwaters in the riparian area allows
infiltration of water into the soil. Water entering the soil is slowly released into the main
channel, delaying its movement downstream.
Thermal Regulation
Water temperature affects the ability of a stream to support viable populations of certain
aquatic organisms. Riparian shade, especially forest canopy, moderates temperature within
and adjacent to a water resource. Although stream temperatures are important throughout the
year, swnmer temperature is generally more critical for fish species such as salmonids. High
water temperatures and sunlight are factors that can promote algal blooms, reducing dissolved
oxygen required by anadromous fish and other cold-water dependent organisms.
The aspect or orientation of the water resource and the height of the adjacent riparian
vegetation play important roles in how effective riparian vegetation is in providing shade.
Wildlife Habitat
Riparian areas provide valuable habitat for wildlife and influence fish habitat. The highest
quality wildlife habitat in urban areas has a variety of plant species and layers, a perennial
water source, and some degree of protectian or buffering from disturbance.
Riparian areas are particularly important migration comdors between upland and aquatic
systems for a wide variety of species. It has been reported that the majority of Oregon's major
wildlife species, including amphibians and reptiles, use wetlands or riparian areas during
some portion of their life cycle.
3.5 Wildlife Habitat
To determine wildlife habitat within the Depoe Bay study area, PHS reviewed the information
from the Oregon Natural Heritage Information Center and discussed wildlife habitat and
species presence with representatives of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Aerial
photographs of Depoe Bay were reviewed to document existing conditions and to identify
areas of potential habitat. The focus of the research was to Iocate areas that appeared to have a
canopy cover of native vegetation or that could provide a corridor for wildlife passage within
the study area.
Ciry of Depoe Bay
Local Wetlands ancl Rzparian Inventories
Page 13
Large tracts of forested land still exist within the Depoe Bay study area. These tracts of forest
provide habitat for a variety of wildlife species. However, according to ODFW, the most
important habitat is within the rip.arian areas. Ground visits to riparian areas were conducted,
where a Wildlife Habitat Assessment Form (WHA), similar to those adopted by other
municipalities during their Goa15 Inventories, was completed. The Habitat Assessment Forms
generate a numerical score that can be used as an indication of habitat quality. Various aspects
of the three primary habitat components, food, water and cover are scored in terms of quality,
diversity and availability. These scores are then totaled for an existing habitat score. The
wildlife habitat assessment was conducted at the same time as the LWI and riparian inventory.
As such, on-site observation, where possible, were made and assessments were performed
from adjacent properties or nearby roads where access was denied.
4.0 CARTOGRAPHY
Color aerial photographs were obtained for use in the field. These photos are 2002 true color,
with a scale of approximately 1 inch = 400 feet. Clear acetate was overlaid and permanently
registered on the photographs and preliminary wetland boundaries and data point locations
were drawn directly on the acetate in the field. In addition, areas within the project area where
permission to enter was denied were drawn on the acetate overlays. The wetland boundaries
and approximate affected tax lot boundaries were then transferred into a digital format and
inserted into a computer-based map derived from the County's GIS base.
Additional layers added to the AutoCAD base map included watershed basin boundaries,
streams from the USGS, additional geographic names, wetland codes, riparian codes, wildlife
habitat codes, forested lands, open space and sample point locations. A hydrologic basin refers
to the drainage area for an individually named stream or creek.
Each wetland was assigned a code beginning with the two letter hydrologic basin designation
and the number of wetlands within each watershed (e.g. NDB- # for North Depoe Bay Creek,
SDB-# for South Depoe Bay Creek, WC-# for Whale Cove). Wetlands that were
hydrologically connected but separated by roads or were similax in character and in close
proximity, were labeled with a code modifier (e.g. WC-la and lb). Several wetlands that are
less than one-half acre in size were labeled with a different modifier "PW" ("probable
wetland").
The riparian mapping was drawn on the 1" = 400' base maps and scanned into the base as a
separate layer. The riparian areas were labeled with a riparian code (e.g. R-NDB-2). Each reach
was assigned a separate code. Riparian widths were transferred to the base map. They were
measured horizontally from the outer edge of the stream or associated wetland. The final digital
maps include a legend, north arrow, scale, and a disclaimer if not all wetland or riparian areas
were assessed on-site or if mapping inaccuracies occur. The map projection is the Universal
Transverse Mercator (LTTNI), Oregon State Plane NAD 83 South.

5.0 STUDY AREA CHARACTERISTICS AND EXISTING
INVENTORY INFORMATION
5.1 Geologic Setting
The oldest geologic materials in Depoe Bay are sediments of the Astoria Formation. These
early to middle Miocene marine sediments consist of clastics deposited in a shallow marine
environment The Astoria Formation, which extends to the north all along the Oregon coast,
consists of mica-bearing siltstones and sandstones with numerous shell fossils.
Overlying and intruding the marine sediments are the Depoe Bay basalts, a sequence of pillow
basalts that forms the base of Depoe Bay. These basalts, which have the geochemical
signature of the Grande Ronde flows of Columbia River basalts, have apparently been
extruded into an environment of seawater and unconsolidated sediments. The emplacement
mechanism is probably multiple with numerous dikes intruding the underlying sediments. The
dikes in many cases have numerous inclusions of the surrounding clastic sediments. A 15-
meter section of similar basalt was found 10.8 miles seaward in the Nautilus well at a depth of
about 3,730 feet.
Within and overlying the pillow basalt is a sandstone known locally as the Whale Cove
Sandstone. This coarse and massive sandstone occupies channels cut into a thin-bedded �
estuarine siltstone. Sedimentary structures within the sandstone suggest contemporary rapid
deposition and soft sediment disturbance from the rapid loading.
Overlying the Whale Cove Sandstone and forming the headlands that define Depoe Bay are
the Cape Foulweather Basalts. These thick basalts have the geochemical signature of the
Frenchman Springs member of the Wanapum flows of the Columbia River basalts.
Although the notion of subaerial flood basalts intruding marine sediments at great distance
from the vents is an unusual one, many geologists have come to regard these basalt intrusions
of nearly contemporary unconsolidated sediments as the Pacific equivalent of the remote
Columbia River basalts.
Subsequent downward faulting between northwest and southwest trending faults around
Depoe Bay have emplaced the Cape Foulweather basalt headlands that define the bay. All the
rocks within the sequence are presently dipping gently (10°-20°) seaward.
5.2 Topography
The City of Depoe Bay rests on marine terrace materials that in turn overlie sandstone and
basaltic rock formations. The project area is comprised of a narrow level terrace along the
north and south sides of Depoe Bay and steep slopes to the south, north and east. Several
perennial creeks and numerous intermittent drainages are within the study area, including the
North Depoe Bay Creek, South Depoe Bay Creek, Depoe Bay Creek and Deadhorse Creek.
City of Depoe Bay
Local Wetlands and Riparian Inventories
Page I S
The nearly level area located between the ocean and just east of Highway 101 is a
combination of residential, light industrial, marine and commercial properties. Witlun this
area, the Port of Depoe Bay operates a marina, and landings and floats to accommodate
excursion and commercial fishing boats.
Elevations range from 0 feet National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) to approximately
820 feet NGVD at the tops of hills in the northeast region of the UGB.
5.3 Hydrology
5.3.1 Hydrologic Features of the Depoe Bay Study Area
Major hydrologic features of the project area include North and South Depoe Bay Creek,
which flow into Depoe Bay; and Depoe Bay Creek, which is a tributary to South Depoe Bay
Creek. Minor hydrologic features include several intermittent drainages originating in the
steep hillsides. One such drainage is Deadhorse Creek, which flows into Whale Cove; another
drainage flows into Pirate Cove.
North Depoe Bay Creek is a tributary to Depoe Bay. Within the Depoe Bay UGB, North
Depoe Bay Creek is a 6` stream. North Depoe Bay Creek provides spawning and
rearing habitat for several anadromous salmonids and is DSL-designated essential habitat for
that reason.
Another main drainage is South Depoe Bay Creek, located in the central third of the UGB. It
is also salmonid-bearing and DSL-designated essential salmonid habitat. Several tributaries to
South Depoe Bay Creek are present, but have their points of origin outside the UGB.
Deadhorse Creek drains from the eastern hillsides west to the Pacific Ocean at Whale Cove in
the southern tip of the UGB. A small unnamed drainage also flows into the Pacific Ocean in
the southern tip of Depoe Bay. Minor drainages, spring and seeps are also present in the study
area; however, due to the steep topography and permeable soils, they are generally
intermittent.
In addition, low-lying areas along the coastline and adjacent to the major creeks are mapped
within the 100-year floodplain by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
5.3.2 Hydrologic Basin Designation
The study area was divided into three primary hydrologic basins: North Depoe Bay Creek
(NDB), South Depoe Bay Creek (SDB) and Whale Cove (WC). Determination of the basins
was based on USGS topography and observations of drainage patterns from the aerial
photographs. The watersheds and their sizes are listed in Table 1.

Direct indicators of hydrology observed during the inventory included soils saturated at or
near the surface, inundatian, and a shallow water table. Indirect indicators included oxidized
rhizospheres with living roots, algal mats, drift lines, and wetland drainage patterns.

5.5 Vegetation
5.5.1 Vegetation Overview
The City of Depoe Bay is located within the Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis) Forest Zone (as
characterized by Franklin and Dyrness, 1973). This vegetation zone occupies a low-elevation
strip along the immediate coastline, often only a few miles wide, and is subject to a relatively
wet and mild climate. The zone is distinguished largely by the presence of Sitka spruce,
frequent summer fogs, and proximity to the ocean. This portion of the Oregon coast is drier
however, than other coastal areas to the north. Areas to the east of the first ridge or sheltered
from prevailing winds and fog begin to assume plant compositions more similar to the interior
valleys.
Common trees found in this region include Sitka spruce, western hemlock (Tsuga
heterophylla), western red cedar (Thuja plicata), Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), grand
fir (Abies grandis) and red alder (Alnus rubra). Other trees observed in the drier or more
protected areas include shore pine (Pinus contorta). Further discussion of coastal plant
communities within the Sitka Spruce Zone can be found in Natural Vegetation of Oregon and
Washington (Franklin and Dyrness 1973).
5.5.2 Local Vegetation Communities
Generalized plant communities encountered within the City of Depoe Bay study area include
upland broadleaf-scrub/shrub thicket, upland coniferous forest, upland mixed
coruferous/deciduous forest, developed-urban, wetland, and riparian. Wetland communities
are further distinguished as freshwater (palustrine emergent, palustrine scrub-shrub, palustrine
forested; and riverine systems), and brackish (estuarine emergent, estuarine scrub-shrub, and
estuarine forested) following the Cowardin classification system developed for the US Fish
and Wildlife Service (Cowaxdin, et. al., 1979). Each of the above communities is described in
the sections below. A list ofplant species known or expected to be in the area is included in
Appendix H.
Upland Broadleaf Scrub/Shrub Thicket
Shrub communities are typically associated with relatively recent or periodically occumng
disturbances (i.e, following logging, grading, and fire; or subject to flooding). Dominant
species may include saplings of regenerating conifers such as Sitka spruce or pouglas-fir,
deciduous trees such as red alder, and shrubs such as salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis),
thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus), salal (Gaultheria shallon), vine maple (Acer circinatum),
evergreen huckleberry (Yaccinium ovatum), rhododendron (Rhododendron macrophyllum),
and blackberries (Rubus spp.). Introduced Scots' broom (Cytisus scoparius) and Himalayan
blackberry (Rubus discolor) are also rapid colonizers in disturbed areas. Herbaceous species
are common in cleared openings, often being the first plants to colonize disturbed ground.
City of Depoe Bay
Local Wetlands and Riparian Inventories
Pczge 18
Upland Coniferous Forest
The dominant species in the coniferous overstory are Douglas-fir, Sitka spruce, western
hemlock, and western red cedar. Sitka spruce is more common closer to the ocean, with the
other species becoming more dominant further inland or in managed forests. Understory
plants vary greatly with the density of the tree canopy. A closed canopy forest tends to
suppress understory species diversity and density, though species such as false lily-of-the-
valley (Maianthemum dilatatum) and sword fern (Polystichum munitum) are commonly
encountered. Openings in the canopy allow greater shrub development, with salmonberry,
salal, rhododendron, and evergreen huckleberry often evident.
Upland Mixed Coniferous Deciduous Forest
The conifer species mentioned above may be codominant with deciduous hardwoods such as
red alder, bigleaf maple, and willows (Salix spp). Shrub understories are often well-developed
due to a more open tree overstory for much of the year. Common shrubs include salmonberry,
red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa), vine maple, evergreen huckleberry, salal, and cascara
(Rhamnus purshiana).
Developed-Urban
In general, plant communities in the City of Depoe Bay study area have been influenced by
human activities for most of this century. The study area includes developed commercial
areas and single-family residential subdivisions, as well as widely dispersed rural residential.
No old growth stands exist. As such, there are few undisturbed natural areas within the UGB.
Residences, businesses, parking areas, roads, and sidewalks all represent unvegetated or
landscaped areas. Vegetation is often of horticultural origin or weedy in these areas. The
fringes of these developed areas may have been subject to disturbance as well, often allowed
to regenerate as red alder, Scot's broom or blackberry thickets. More frequent disturbance
may maintain areas as open spaces dominated by weedy grasses and forbs.
Wetlands
Wetland areas are generally transitional between upland or riparian areas and truly aquatic
sites with permanentiy open water. Open water may or may not be present, in wl�ich case the
wetland can occupy a position where the groundwater table comes close to the surface for an
extended period at some time duning the growing season.
Palustrine forested wetlands (PFO) in the area are dominated primarily by an overstory of
Sitka spruce, western hemlock, western red cedar, and red alder. Palustrine scrub/shrub (PSS)
wetlands typically include sapling red alder, willows and twinberry (�onicera involucrata).
Palustrine emergent wetlands (PEM) are dominated by herbaceous species such as sedges
(Carex spp.) water parsley (Oenanthe sarmentosa), rushes (Juncus spp.), birds foot trefoil
(Lotus corniculatus} and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens).
City of Depoe Bay
Local Wetlands and Riparian Inventories
Page 19
Riparian
Riparian forests are often similar to the upland mixed evergreen-deciduous forests, though
species preferring wetter sites may be more common. Alder and willow dominate in the
wetter areas, with Sitka spruce and bigleaf maple more common in the drier riparian zones.
5.5.3 Wetland and Upland Indicator Species
Species lists of commonly encountered plants, along with their status as indicators of wetland
conditions, have been prepared for all regions of the country by the USFWS (1988). The
status of a particular plant, as discussed in Section 2.0, is the probability of that plant
occurring in a wetland. Table 3 suirunarizes the wetland indicator codes.
Table 3. Wetland Indicator Codes and Status
OBL Obligate wetland. Estimated to occur almost exclusively in wetlands (>99%)
FACW Facultative wetland. Estimated to occur 67-99% of the time in wetlands.
FAC Facultative. Occur equally in wetlands and non-wetlands (34-66%).
FACU Facultative upland. Usually occur in non-wetlands (67-99%).
UPL Obligate upland. Estimated to occur almost exclusively in non-wetlands (>99%).
If a species is not assigned to one of the four groups described above it is
assumed to be obligate upland.
NI Has not yet received a wetland indicator status, but is probably not obligate upland.
Many plants are found in transitional areas between wetlands and uplands. These areas are
usually characterized by flat to gradually sloping terrain where the species composition may
not reflect true wetland boundaries. In such areas, a species with a status of FACU may
extend into the wetland areas, just as FACW species may also be present in upland areas.
A non-comprehensive listing of plant species encountered or expected within the project area,
and their wetland indicator status, is included in Appendix H.
5.6 Wildlife
5.6.1 Threatened or Endangered Species
The federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) is administered through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The Oregon Endangered
Species Act of 1987 (OESA) is administered by the state Departments of Agriculture (ODA) and
Fish and Wildlife (ODFW). Each have particular powers and limitations depending on the
ownership status and/or actions being considered on the sensitive species' habitat. In addition,
individual land management agencies (including the US Forest Service) typically maintain their
own sensitive species lists. These may be more inclusive than required by the ESA, with
management goals set for un�isted sensitive species as well.

The Oregon Natural Heritage Information Center (ORNHIC, previously the Oregon Natural
Heritage Program, or ORNHP) maintains a statewide database that tracks population trends
for individual plant and animal species (ORNHP, 2001). The sensitivity of species to various
influences, regardless of origin, is monitored through many sources, including public
agencies, academic institutions, and private groups. Trends are re-evaluated periodically to
assess whether an individual species warrants legal protection under the federal and state
endangered species acts. ORNHIC has records of the following species occurrences within or
near the UGB of the City of Depoe Bay:
Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
Federal status: Threatened, Proposed Delisted; State status: Threatened
Use of habitat by bald eagles within and immediately adjacent to the Depoe Bay UGB has
been documented by ORNHIC. This species forages aerially over water bodies, and Depoe
Bay waters (e.g., the Pacific Ocean) have sufficient fisheries resources to support bald eagles.
Several nesting sites have been documented in Whale Cove (in the southern portion of the
UGB), with successful fledging within the past 3 years.
Bald eagles nest in tall snags or mature trees, often utilizing the tallest tree in a given area to
facilitate location of prey. These nest sites are usually near water (e.g., within riparian
corridors). Primaxy habitat use within the city limits is likely feeding. Critical habitat has not
been designated for this species.
Coho salmon (Oregon Coastal Run ESin (Oncorhynchus kisutch)
Federal status: Threatened; State status: Sensitive-Critical
Coho salmon are anadromous fish species that use aquatic resources within the City of Depoe
Bay. This species has been documented by ORNHIC and StreamNet (2003) as using Depoe
Bay for migration and rearing habitat. Coho use North Depoe Bay Creek as spawning and
rearing habitat (from river mile 0.0 to 0.6), and South Depoe Bay Creek for migration and
rearing habitat (from river mile 0.0 to 0.2); and spawning and rearing habitat (from river mile
0.2 to 3.4).
Coho spawn in small coastal streams and tributaries of large rivers. They prefer areas of mid-
velocity water with small to medium-sized gravels and ample riparian vegetation. Coho fry
are usually found in the pools of small coastal streams and the tributaries of larger rivers
(ORNHIC, 2003). Critical habitat for this species has been vacated by NOAA fisheries,
pending further developments.
Steelhead (Oregon Coast Winter Run) (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
Federal status: Candidate; State status: Sensitive-Vulnerable
Steelhead are anadromous fish species that use habitat within the City of Depoe Bay. This
species has been documented by ORNHIC and StreamNet (2003) as using Depoe Bay for
migration. Steelhead use North Depoe Bay Creek as spawning and rearing habitat (from river
mile 0.0 to 0.4), and uses the entirety of South Depoe Bay Creek for spawning and rearing
habitat.
City of Depoe Bay
Local Wetlands and Riparic�n Inventories
Page 21
Steelhead generally prefer fast water in small-to-large mainstem rivers and medium-to-large
tributaries. In streams with steep gradient and large substrate, they spawn between the steep
areas, where the water is flatter and the substrate is small enough to dig into. The steeper areas
make excellent rearing habitat for juveniles. Fry use areas of fast water and large substrate for
rearing (ORNHIC, 2003). Critical habitat for this species has been vacated by NOAA
f sheries, pending further developments.
Oregon silverspot butterfly (Speyeria zerene hippolyta)
Federal status: Threatened; State status: Not listed
Oregon silverspot butterfly was last seen within the vicinity of the City of Depoe Bay in 1971.
That population is now considerea to be extinct (ORNHIC, 2003). However, Critical Habitat
was designated in nearby Lane County in 1980, and the Recovery Plan, initially completed in
1982, was updated in 2001 (Federal Register. Vol. 66, No. 231. November 30, 2001.
Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service). No other occurrence of this species has
been documented within the vicinity of the UGB.
This species depends on coastal grasslands (salt spray meadows) that contain early blue violet
(Viola adunca), This open vegetation type has always had a patchy.distribution that was
maintained through wildfire, salt-laden winds, grazing and controlled burning (Federal
Register. Vol. 66, No. 231, p. 59807. November 30, 2001. Department of the Interior, Fish
and Wildlife Service).
In addition to those species documented by ORNHIC, other listed species may utilize habitat
within the UGB. The City of Depoe Bay's rocky shorelines provides potential habitat for
many protected terrestrial wildlife species, and its streams and riparian areas provide
important habitat for numerous fish and wildlife species.
Marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus, Threatened) has been documented feeding
offshore but does not likely utilize the fragmented mature forest habitats within the UGB for
nesting and roosting. Brown pelican (Pelicanus occidentalis, Endangered) has also been
documented feeding offshore.
5.6.2 Other Wildlife Habitat
The coast range provides habitat for a wide variety of wildlife. The large tracts of forest to the
east provide cover for many species of migratory and shorebirds and other terrestrial wildlife
species. Additionally, the rocky shorelines of Depoe Bay may provide roosting habitat for
pelagic birds including black cormorant, black oyster-catcher, rhinoceros auklet, common
murre, tufted puffin and pigeon guillemot.
Wetlands in coastal areas may provide key migration and overwintering habitat for waterfowl
and numerous other species protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. There was no
documentation of migratory waterfowl utilizing wetland habitats at the time of survey, but
birds may use these areas at other times of year (e.g., springtime migration).

5.6.3 Managed Wildlife Areas
Special marine fish and wildlife managed areas (regulated by state agencies) within the UGB
include Whale Cove Habitat Refuge (Intertidal Research Area) and Pirate Cove Research
Reserve (Subtidal Research Area) (Oregon Deparhnent of Land Conservation and
Development, Ocean-Coastal Management Program, Rocky Shores Management Strategy).
Whale Cove Habitat Refuge is 0.� miles of cliffs, rocky intertidal habitat and subtidal habitat
located in the southern tip of Depoe Bay's UGB. This small cove is closed to all harvest of
marine fish and shellfish. The submerged and tidal lands are owned by DSL and the beaches
axe owned by Oregon State Parks. The key resources for this area include rich and diverse
intertidal habitat; harbor seal haulout; bald eagle use; and two nesting colony sites for pigeon
guillemot.
Use of the area from shore is relatively low and restricted to the nearby residents and guests
on adjacent private property. ODFW has ongoing monitoring studies in the cove. ODFW
manages this area as a habitat refuge and research natural area.
Pirate Cove is 5.2 acres of intertidal and 3.3 acres of subtidal habitat in the northern portion of
the City of Depoe Bay UGB. Pirate Cove is a very small semi-enclosed shallow embayment
directly open to the ocean that provides an excellent area for both basic and applied subtidal
research. Public access to this site is from the ocean only. Key resources for this area are
subtidal habitat.
Current uses include scientific research, scuba diving and some commercial urchin harvest.
ODFW and the Urchin Commodity Commission are jointly conducting a red sea urchin
outplanting experiment. There is currently no on-site management of the cove.
6.0 LWI DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS
6.1 U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory Areas
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as part of the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI)
program, has mapped wetland in the study area (Figure 3). The NWI maps are generated
primarily on the basis of interpretation of relatively small-scale color infrared aerial
photographs (e.g., scale of 1:58,000) with limited "ground truthing" conducted to confirm the
interpretations.
As shown on the NWI, wetlands were mapped along the creeks and along the shoreline,
including the estuary of Depoe Bay. Two palustrine, unconsolidated bottom wetlands were
also mapped in association with North Depoe Bay Creek and an unnamed drainage north of
Whale Cove.

Oregon Freshwater Wetland Assessment Methodology Results
Wetland Quality Assessment
An assessment of the qualiry for each of the Goal 5 wetlands identified through the inventory
was conducted using the Oregon Freshwater Assessment Methodology (OFWAM) (Roth et al,
April 1996). OFWAM assesses 6 functions and 3 conditions, as described in Section 3.3.1.
Appendix D contains all of the results for each of the 14 wetlands assessed by the
methodology along with suminary sheets of the functions and conditions assessed by the
methodology and the rationale for the results. Table 7 suminarizes the wetlands within the
study area.

Although OFWAM provides qualitative information on the relative value of wetlands and
does not have a numerical ranking, numbers were assigned to the assessment criteria to easily
compare the resuits. A number 1 was assigned to wetlands receiving the highest function or
condition result (e.g. intact, diverse), a number 3 was assigned to the wetlands

receiving the lowest result (lost or not present, not appropriate), and a number 2 was assigned
to the results which do not fit the other criteria (potential, impacted or degraded). This system
is summarized in Table 8(page 26}.
Table 9(page 27)shows the results of the quality assessment conducted on all of the wetlands
identified through the inventory. Some functions or conditions were not applicable to certain
wetlands. For instance the methodology states that if a wetland receives an assessment of
"diverse wildlife habitat" then the enhancement potential assessment is not applicable.

Twenty-one percent (21%) of the assessed wetlands provided diverse wildlife habitat and the
other 79% provided wildlife habitat for some species. Forty-three percent (43%) of wetlands
had intact fish habitat, 14% had fish habitat impacted or degraded due to lack of shade,
instream structures, or channel modifications. Six (6) of the wetlands were not assessed for
fish habitat.
The water quality function was assessed as intact in 21% of the wetlands; impacted or
degraded in 50% of the wetlands; and lost or not present in 29%. The impacted water quality
function is due to lack of floodplain within the UGB, generally due to the incised nature of
channels and steep stream gradient (most of the drainages run off steep slopes).
Hydrologic control was assessed as intact in 43% of the wetlands, while 36% were assessed
as impacted or degraded. Impacts were generally due to lack of floodplain, unrestricted
outflow and downstream open space. The remaining 21% were assessed with lost or not
present function.
All the wetlands were considered to be potentially sensitive to future impacts due to existing
or zoned development in adjacent lands. Most of the wetlands (8) were assessed with
moderate enhancement potential, while 3 were not assessed due to diverse wildlife kabitat. All
wetlands were given a low (not appropriate) or medium (has potential for) rating for
educational or recreational opporlunities in a majority of the wetlands due to their location on
private lands, lack of public access or developed paths, and safety concerns associated with
public access and physically-challenged access. Aesthetic quality of the wetlands was varied
according to presence of major roads and noisy traffic, adjacent development, and number of
Cowardin classes in the wetland. Twenty-nine percent (29%) were considered to be
aesthetically pleasing.
6.3.2 Wetlands of Special Interest for Protection
Each wetland was assessed according to the ten questions in this section of OFWAM. These
questions are regarding the presence of Federal or State listed threatened, endangered or
sensitive species, existing management plans, conservation plans, protected mitigation areas,
critical habitat, wetland reserve areas and the presence of uncommon wetland plant
communities in Oregon.
These questions were answered "na" for the majority of wetlands, however wetlands ,
immediately adjacent to North and South Depoe Bay Creek qualify as "wetlands of special
interest for protection" due to essential salmonid habitat in those creeks. The following
wetlands meet this criterion:
• NDB-2
• SDB-1
• SDB-2

7.0 SIGNIFICANT WETLANDS DETERMINATIUN
7.1 Distinction between Goals 5 and 17 Areas
The City is divided between the Statewide Goal 5 and the Goa1 17�Planning areas. Goal 17
(Coastal Sharelands) defines the Coastal Shorelands Planning Area (CSPA) as: All lands west
of the Oregon Coast Highway (Highway 101) and; all lands within an area defined by a line
measured horizontally 1,000 feet from the shoreline of estuaries and 500 feet from the
shoxeline of coastallakes (DLCD, 1996). For the Depoe Bay LWI, the CSPA includes all
lands seaward from Highway 101 (i.e. west of Highway 101). Goa15 applies to all areas of
the UGB, and can also overlap Goa1 171ands. However, if a wetland qualifies as both a Goal
5 and Goa1 17 resource, Goa1 17 takes precedence.
7.2 Goal 5 Locally Significant Wetlands Criteria
On September 1, 1996, the Land Conservation and Development Commission adopted a
revised Statewide Planning Goa15. Goa15 is the planning goal for natural resources, scenic
and historic areas, and open spaces. The goal requires local jurisdictions to inventory the
natural resources covered under the goa1, deternune the significance of these resources, and
develop plans to achieve the goa1. In other word�; �oca1 jurisd.ictions must adopt land use
ordinances regulating development in and around significant areas.
Loca1 jurisdictions determining significant wetlands must use the criteria adopted by the
Oregon Department of State Lands (ORS 197.2'79(3)(b)). These criteria identifies Locally
Signifzcant Wetlands. The significance criteria is divided into three sections, as shown in
Table 10.

Based on the criteria, 11 of the 14 wetlands (78°Io) were deternuned to be significant: 2 in the
North Depoe Bay Creek watershed, 2 in the South Depoe Bay Creek watershed and 7 in the
Wha1e Cove watershed. The Whale Cove (WC) wetlands are technically within the Goal 17
CSPA; however, they are not included as Goal 17 wetlands only, because they do not derive
their habitat quality from "association with coastal water areas" (LCDC, 1996). These
wetlands met the criteria for significance because they meet one or more of the mandatory
criteria. Although other wetlands within the Goa15 area are relatively valuable for some
functions, they do not satisfy the significant wetlands criteria.
8.0 RIPARIAN INVENTORY RESULTS
8.1 Location, Width and Quality of Riparian Areas
The Urban Riparian Inventory an.d Assessment Guide (Riparian Guide) (DSL 1998) was used to
identify the width of riparian areas within the project area. The Riparian Guide is a method of
determining the width of riparian areas adjacent to wetlands, creeks, and lakes (water resources).
The Riparian Guide includes a riparian function assessment, which evaluates the ability of the
riparian area to provide water quality, flood management, thermal regulation, and wildlife habitat
functions. The results indicate whether the functional integrity of each reach is high, medium, or
low.
8.2 Riparian Acreage and Distribution
Twelve riparian assessments were conducted in the project area. Each riparian area was
assigned a code and a watershed code (e.g. R-NDB-2). A data sheet was compiled which
documents the existing riparian characteristics and establishes the riparian width based on
potential tree height (PTH) and actual site conditions (Appendix F). The majority of the
assessments were on-site observation. Off-site assessments were based on observation from
an off-site vantage point or review of maps and aerial photos.
Potential tree heights were generally based on either Sitka spruce, western hemlock (both
120-foot PTH) or red alder (65-foot PTH). Riparian areas on steep slopes were generally
forested or potentially forested with the coniferous trees. Riparian areas in flatter topographic
areas were generally dominated by early successional trees such as red alder. Figures 4A-4B
show the location of the riparian assessments, the riparian reaches, and the width of the
riparian areas. The following table summarizes the riparian area lengths and potential tree
heights.

Table 12. Riparian Corridors and Their Widths for the Depoe Bay Riparian Inventory
8.3 Riparian Assessment Results
An assessment of four riparian functions, water quality, flood management, thermal regulation,
and wildlife habitat, was conducted for each of the riparian areas. The questions and answer
sheets for the riparian assessment are included in Appendix F. The riparian functions are
described in Section 3.43.
The riparian assessment is completed by answering a series of questions relating to the riparian
functions. Each answer is assigned a score that reflects its overall importance to the function.
Questions that were answered "a" received a higher score than "c" answers. After the score
was totaled for each function, it was assigned a rating of high (H), medium (M), or low (L)
according to the results. Table 13 summarizes the results of the riparian functional assessment.

Riparian areas along coastal waters are extremely important for a number of reasons. Goal 17
recognizes the importance of riparian vegetation along the coast and states in the Identificataon
Section that coastal shorelands should at least include "Natural or man-made riparian resources,
especially vegetation necessary to stabilize the shoreline and to maintain water quality and
temperature necessary for the maintenance of fish habitat and spawning areas." Due to the listing
of several salmonids as Threatened under the Endangered Species Act by the National Marine
Fisheries Service, protecting and restoring riparian areas has never been more important.
All of the riparian areas provide a high water quality function due to a dominance of woody
trees and shrubs in the riparian areas and low extents of impervious surfaces. Thermal
regulation was also generally assessed with a high functional integrity, with 92% of the
riparian assessed in this condition. The flood management function was generally ranked as
medium or low due to steep topography within the riparian area, thereby limiting the potential
for flooding.
Wildlife habitat was high for 92% of the riparian areas due to the presence of perennial
surface water, well vegetated areas, and lack of impervious surfaces in the study area.
In general the riparian areas of Depoe Bay are in good condition.
8.4 Determination of Significant Riparian Corridors
Once the location and the quality of the riparian corridors were established, we determined the
significance of each resource. For riparian corridors, local jurisdictions are given a choice of
implementing the "standard" Goa15 inventory process, or the "safe harbor" process, or a
combination of the two. As described above, the standard inventory process was conducted
using the Riparian Guide.
8.4.1 Safe Harbor
The safe harbor process uses criteria already established by Goal 5 to determine boundaries of
significant riparian corridors using a standard setback distance from all fish bearing streams
and lakes (OAR 660-23-090(5)).
These setback distances are as follows:
(a) Along all streams with average annual stream flow greater than 1,000 cubic
feet per second (cfs) the riparian corridor boundary shall be 75 feet upland
from the top of each bank.
(b) Along all lakes, and fish-bearing streams with average annual stream flow less
than 1,000 cfs, the riparian corridor boundary shall be 50 feet from the top of
bank.
(c) Where the riparian corridor includes all or portions of a significant wetland as
set out in OAR 660-23-100, the standard distance to the riparian corridor
boundary shall be measured from, and include, the upland edge of the wetland.

(d) In areas where the top of each bank is not clearly defined, or where the
predominant terrain consists of steep cliffs, local governments shall apply
OAR 660-23-030 rather than apply the safe harbor provisions of this section.
The City can adopt the safe harbor widths of 50 feet or the standard inventory widths
established by use of potential tree heigFht, as listed in Table 12.
8.4.2 Standard Inventory
Table 14 presents the significance criteria for significant Goal 5 riparian corridors.
Table 14. Criteria for Determining Significant Riparian Corridors
1 Does the riparian area have a hig12 water quality function?
2 Does the riparian area have a high flood management function?
3 Does the riparian area have a high thermal regulation function?
4 Does the riparian area have a high wildlife habitat function?
5 Is the riparian area adjacent to the North Depoe Bay Creek or South Depoe
Bay Creek (water bodies mapped by ODFW as essential indigenous
anadromous salmonid habitat)?
6 Does the riparian corridor contain a rare plant community?
7 Is the riparian area inhabited by any species listed federally as Threatened or
Endangered, or state listed as sensitive, threatened or endangered?
8 Is the riparian area immediately adjacent to a Locally Significant Wetland?
Riparian areas along several streams within the City have been impacted by urban
development. This is true of the two northern drainages that flow into Little Whale Cove,
where roads and paths have been constructed within or across the riparian areas.
9.0 WILDLIFE HABITAT INVENTORY RESULTS
9.1 Location of Wildlife Habitat
Historically, all of Depoe Bay was dominated by a mixed coniferous forest composed of
Douglas-fir, western hemlock, western red cedar and Sitka spruce. This forest extended from
the Coast Range to the bluffs of the Pacific Ocean. There are no old growth stands left within
the City and urban encroachment has reduced the cover of forested habitat.
Fewer species of birds live in the forests of the Coast Range than in other western conifer
formations because the habitat offers less diversity of vegetation and fewer sources of food.
The dominance of conifers means that birds preferring or requiring deciduous trees are
restricted to habitats such as riparian areas and wetlands. As such, there are fewer niches for
birds in coastal forests than in mixed forests. Another factor limiting the diversity of bird

Local Wetlands and Riparian Inventories
Page 34
species is the scarcity of food sources, such as acorns, large seeds (e.g. grass seeds) and pine
nuts, which are important food sources of western forests. Grasses are generally replaced by
mosses, which are less nutritious. However, birds and mammals take advantage of all parts of
conifers (seeds, bark, twigs, buds, needles, cones) for food. The seeds of Douglas-fir,
hemlock, and spruce, contain both proteins and essential fats.
9.2 Discussion of Wildlife Habitat Assessment Results
At one tizne, the Depoe Bay area was covered by a mixed coniferous forest that provided
habitat for a variety of species. With the exception of land that is zoned for commercial timber
production (and adjacent residential-zoned land that has not yet been developed), this habitat
has been impacted or removed. Currently the only identifiable wildlife habitat is located
within riparian corridors along the various creeks and drainages, where plant species
composition tends to be more diverse (Figure SA - SB). The wildlife habitat found along these
creeks does not appear to extend beyond the riparian zone for any of these waterways. While
also important habitat, the rocky shores along the coastlines were not assessed as habitat for
the intent and purpose of this report. These areas are currently managed by the Oregon
Department of Land Conservation and Development.
9.3 Discussion of Significant Wildlife Habitat
As with riparian corridors, Goal 5 allows local governments to conduct a"standard" Goal 5
inventory process, as contained in QAR 660-23-040, or a"safe harbor" process, but not a
combination of the two. The safe harbor process in Goa15 is as follows:
(4) Local governments may determine wildlife habitat significance under OAR 660-23-
040, or apply the safe haxbor criteria in this section. Under the safe harbor, local
governments may determine that "wildlife" does not include fish, and that significant
wildlife habitat is only those sites where one or more of the following conditions exist:
(a) The habitat has been documented to perform a life support function for a
wildlife species listed by the federal government as a threatened or endangered
species, or by the state of Oregon as threatened, endangered, or sensitive
species;
(b) The habitat has documented occurrences of more than incidental use by a
species described in subsection (a) of this section;�
(c) The habitat has been documented as a sensitive bird nesting, roosting, or
watering resource site for osprey or great blue herons pursuant to OAR 527.710
(Oregon Forest Practices Act) and OAR 629-24-700 (Forest Practices Rules);
(d) The habitat has been documented to be essential to achieving policies or
population objectives specified in a wildlife species management plan adopted
by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission pursuant to ORS Chapter 496;

Loca1 Wetlancls and Riparian Inventories
Page 3S
(e) The area is identified and mapped by ODFW as habitat for a wildlife species of
concern and/or as habitat of concern (e.g. big game winter range and migration
corridors, golden eagle and prairie falcon nest sites, or pigeon springs).
To determine whether the study area contains significant wildiife habitat, PHS reviewed the
safe harbor criteria and conducted a standard inventory of wildlife habitat, as described in the
sections above. The results determined that:
• no rare, threatened, or endangered species are found within the study area;
• all wildlife habitat polygons are located within riparian corridors;
• the highest quality habitat is found within the riparian corridors of North and South Depoe
Bay Creeks and in the wetland mosaic in the northern part of the Whale Cove watershed,
and
• the poorest quality habitat is found within the denser urban areas throughout the city
It was determined, however, that wildlife habitat within riparian corridors is already protected
through the regulation of riparian corridors and significant wetlands. For this reason, PHS
applied the safe harbor criteria for significant wildlife habitat. When these criteria are used,
none of the polygons surveyed within the study area can be deemed significant.
10.0 SHORELINE
The construction of residential lots along the ocean front within the City requires the
prevention of coastal erosion. The allowed lot area, as stated in the City's zoning ordinance, is
the amount of area from the line of inean high water to the landward extent of the property.
When ocean front development is proposed, the applicant must determine whether the area is
geologically stable (i.e. whether a geologic hazard exists as identified in the Environmental
Hazards Inventory, Coastal Lincoln County, Oregon. RNKR Associates, 1978). Page 35 of
the RNKR report lists the minimum setbacks recommended for each category of coastal
erosion (slight: 45o from the mean high high tide (MHHT), moderate: 25o from the MH�iT,
or severe: 20 from the MHHT).
PHS attempted to map the limits of the apparent stable "top of bank" using our observations
in the field and using the aerial photograph. Unfortunately, little access to ocean front lots was
granted and the scale of the aerial photograph does not allow the accurate mapping of this
important feature. As such, this report does not inventory a setback that the city can use for
ocean front development. Discussions with DLCD representatives and planners from several
coastal communities determined that no simple mapping solution appears to exist along the
Oregon coast.
One method that is successfully used along rivers and streams within the Portland
Metropolitan area is to determine site-specific setbacks based on the degree of slope present
on the property. For the City of Depoe Bay this could mean that a minimum setback is
established from the MHHT. Once this minimum setback distance is reached, the degree of
the slope is determined and setback is evaluated based on the severity of the slope.
City of Depoe Bay
Local Wetlands and Riparian Inventories
Page 36
For the Portland Metropolitan area, the setback continues until there is a break in slope (i.e.
less than 25%). At this point, the setback is increased another 35 feet (or 15' feet with a
geotechnical report stating that the ground is stable). This continues until the maximum
setback distance of 200 feet is reached.
11.0 FORESTED LANDS
Approximately 622 acres of lands within the UGB of Depoe Bay are forested (Figures 6A -
6B). The U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Forest and Range Experiment Station's 1946
Douglas-fir potential productivity study classified all western Oregon forest lands on the basis
of five site classes with site class I being the most productive and site class V being the least
productive. The rnajority of the forest lands within the City of Depoe Bay are site class III
lands, which means they have a productivity of at least 121 cubic feet of timber per acre per
year. This is a productive capacity deemed adequate for commercial forest use; through
modern intensive forest management practices, considerably higher yields are expected
(Inventory Information: City of Depoe Bay, 1991, pp. 1-2).
Within the City of Depoe Bay, the majority of forested lands (55%, or approximately 344
acres) are zoned as Timber Conservation zones (T-C), which are owned by Boise Cascade
Corporation and managed for commercial timber production. By designating commercial
timber lands which lie within the UGB as suitable for timber production (i.e., "Forest Land")
rather than zone those lands for residential development, this open space will be managed to
preserve open space values (Inventory Information: City of Depoe Bay, 1991, p.3).
Areas within the UGB that are currently forested but not zoned T-C are zoned for residential
development (R-1 through R-5) and/or light industrial (L-1) and will potentially be cleared as
the need for additional urban lands arise.
12.0 OPEN SPACE
Water areas appropriately constitute the most important visual open space for residents and
visitors to Depoe Bay (Figures 7A - 7B). Visual access to these spaces are provided by
extensive Oregon State Park holdings and by US Highway 101, including the highway bridge.
The dish-shaped lands surrounding the historic inner harbor provide via slope many
commercial and residential views.
Two public parks exist within the designated urban growth boundaries of Depoe Bay. These
are:
• The Depoe Bay City Park and Boat Launch Ramp. This park is located on the southern
edge of the inner harbor. The park provides restroom and picnic facilities. The boat launch
ramp provides ocean access for privately owned, trailer-transported boats. It is a busy
facility during summer months.
Other city parkland along the oceanfront consists of 3.35 acres at the seawall in the City.
The facility provides views of the channel into the inner bay and access to the basaltic
intertidal area to either side of the channel. The day use area provides tourist and resident
recreation opportunities. Its central location has important economic benefits for the
City's tourist-oriented businesses.

14.0 PROJECT SI:fPVIMARY
• Pacific Habitat Services was hired to conduct a Local Wetlands Inventory and Riparian
Inventory for the City of Depoe Bay.
• The project area is approximately 1,140 acres, and includes North and South Depoe Bay
Creeks and several smaller tributaries.
• Field work was conducted between September and October 2003. Each wetland unit was
assigned a unique code based on the hydrologic basin. A wetland characterization and
wetland assessment was completed for each wetland unit. The wetland assessment was
based on the Oregon Freshwater Wetland Assessment Methodology.
• The study area includes both Goa15 and Goal 17 planrung areas.
• Locally Significant Wetlands (Goa15) were identified based on Oregon Administrative
Rules.
• A total of 14 wetland units were identified in the Depoe Bay project area, with a total
acreage of approximately 20.44 acres of wetland.
• Palustrine forested (PFO) wetlands are the dominant (39%) wetland type in the study area,
totaling 7.98 acres. Palustrine scrub-shrub (PSS) wetlands were the second most common,
totaling 7.18 acres (35%). Palustrine emergent wetlands (PEM)were third most common
with areas totaling 5.21 acres (26%).
• Three of the wetlands met the criteria for "wetlands of special interest for protection."
• Eleven of the fourteen Goa15 wetlands met the criteria for Locally Significant Wetlands.
• The riparian inventory assessed 12 areas associated with North Depoe Bay Creek, South
Depoe Bay Creek and numerous tributaries to these creeks.
• Riparian widths in the project area range from 65-to-120 feet, based potential tree height.
• All of the riparian areas were assessed with at least one function (water quality, flood
management, thermal regulation, wildlife habitat) as having high functional integrity.
