UMPQUA BASIN

WATER MANAGEMENT GUIDELINE

PURPOSE

. SCOPE

This Water Management Guideline has been prepared to provide

guidance and coordination to the plann1ng activities and

development of the water resources in the Umpqua Basin.

The objective of the guideline is to outline the best

over-all management and use of the water resources of the

basin . .

The .guideline contains water resources data and related in­

formation that will be useful to both local ·and regional

planners. The guideline is compatible with the Umpqua Basin

Policy Statement, existing local comprehensive plans and the

goals and guidelines of the State Land Conservation and

Development Commission.

Data included in this guideline includes an inventory and

evaluation of available water resources as well as an in­

ventory of present and future water needs and water related

problems. Alternate methods of meeting the needs and solving

water rela t e d problems are outlined and reconunendations are

made to address specific problem areas. The guideline is

intended to address future needs for at least the next ten

years. The gui deline as we ll a s the Umpqua Bas in Poli cy

Statement should be updated periodically to keep current

w:ith the cJ:i.angiJ:l<J p~iorities of basin' . .i;-esidents and the

needs of the State of Oregon.

BASIN DESCRIPTION

The Umpqua River Bg,sin contains 4,560 square miles and is

located in . southweste.rn Oregon (Plate 1). The };)asin is

bordered by the· Willamette River Dra,inage to tlle north_, the

Cascade Mountain range to the east, tI:>-.e Rogue River Drainage,:·.

to the south, and the Coos River d:i;-aj,nage and Pacific Ocean

tc;> the west. The basin is contiguoµs with the ~olitical

boundaries· of Douglas County and, the ~asin and tJ::ie county

are often considered to be synon~o~$: ~ This is the only

instanpe· in O_regon where a river ba$;.l;n C!-nd a <;:!Ol,lnty overla,p

and which could result in better manag.ement because of a

· single· political entity.

Geologically, the Umpqu~ Basin is qujj. te complex in· that it

the ~lamath MoU:ntains in: tJ;le sout~~·lf'~· portion:, the inter­

mountain provinces, along with the low porosity and per­

meability of the bedrock and soils materials, results in

a considerable amount of surface runoff with very little

precipitation entering the ground water system. Wells in

these areas are typically low yielding and stream runoff

tends to show considerable seasonal fluctuation.

The younger volcanic rocks of the Cascade Range are relatively

porous and permeable and allow recharge of the ground water

system through percolation of rainfall and . snowmelt down-

ward to the ground water table. Difficulty in assessing or

developing the ground water conditions in this province arise

from · the heterogeneous nature of the rocks and the resultant

development of perched. ground water tables, springs, seeps,

etc. Well yieldi in this area are quit~ variable. Stream­

flows, however, do not show the drastic seasonal fluctuations

of the Coastal and Klamath provinces.

The intermountain lowlands consist primarily of older river

terrace deposits and recent flood plain and terrace alluvium.

The hydrologic characteristics within this province are con-

trolled by variations in thickness of alluvial deposits,

sedimen·t size, d egree of cementati on, and extent of wea thering;

and tend to be quite variable. Streamf low in the inter-

mountain areas shows considerable seasonal fluctuation.

During wi nte r and spring months, t he streams r e c eiv e s urface

runoff as well as local, intermediate and regional ground water

- 3 -

discharge. In the sununer and fall months, however, streamflows

. in this province drop drastically. They receive very little

water from their tributaries in the mountain provinces, and

the ground water table falls to a level where there is little

or no discharge into stream channels. Well production is

variable but in most instances is adequate for domestic and

stock watering purposes.

CLIMATE

\ ,,

The Umpqua Basin has two climatic regions; the coastal region

and the inland valley-Cascade Mountains region. Precipitation

in the coastal region varies from 70 inches annually at the

mouth of the Umpqua River to 100 inches at the crest of the

Coast Range Mountains. Precipitation in the inland valleys

varies from as low as 30 inches annually to 70 inches in the

upper Cascade Mountains. Plate 3 shows average annual pre-

cipitation throughout the basin. Precipitation data at

selected stations is shown in Appendix B.

Temperature also varies within the basin. While the average

annual temperature varies only a few degrees throughout the

basin, seasonal temperature extremes are quite variable de-

pending on distance from the Pacific Ocean and elevation.

Temperature data for selected stations is shown in.Appendix

:B.

STREA.~FLOW

The Umpqua River is divided into three major segments and

their tributaries. One segment is the North UmpquaRiver

which be.gins at r.taidu Lake near Miller Mountain at the 7,500

- 4 -

foot level of the Cascades. This segment is 106 miles long.

Another segment is the South Umpqua River which is 103 miles

long and begins at the confluence of Black Rock Fork and

Castle Rock Fork creeks. Each of these creeks is about 10

miles . long. The final segment is the main stem of the

Umpqua River which is 112 miles long and begins at the con-

fluence of the North.Umpqua and South Umpqua Rivers and flows

to the Pacific Ocean.

There is about 7.9 million acre feet of runoff annually from

the Umpqua basin. The average annual yield, as measured at

Elkton, is 5.4 million acre feet. The drainage area upstream

from Elkton is 68 per cent of the total basin area. The

North Umpqua River, as measured at Winchester, contribut"es

an average annual ~ield of 2.7 million acre feet and the

South Umpqua River, as measured near Brockway, has an average

annual yield of 2.1 million acre feet.

Substantial seasonal variations in the runoff patterns of the

Umpqua .Basin exist; _About 92 per cent of the annual runoff

occurs during the November-May period. The remaining 8 per

cent of the annual runoff occurs in the June-October period.

This is significant in terms of irrigation use as the demand

for irrigation water occurs during the June-October period.

Other uses such as municipal and industrial and instream uses

also have increased demands in the June-October time period.

WATER NEEDS AND RELATED PROBL~MS

Municipal and Domestic Water Use

The population of Douglas County is listed .as 78,500 .as of

the 1974 census. Of that ~otal population, 36,100 or 46 per ·

cent reside· in incorporated cities and are served through

municipal water systems. Group domestic systems supply some

areas of population concentration in other unincorporated

areas. The source of supply for these systems is listed ih

Table s in Appendix B.

Residents not served by municipalities or organized group

domestic systems are served by wells~ springs or surface

streams. Often, these individual systems are susceptible tb

pollution from surf ace disturbance or improperly constructed

wells . .

Of the surface streams in the Umpqua Basin, oniy the North

Umpqua River and some of its tribut~f ies are of aqequate

quantity arid of sufficient quality tq be reliable sources

for present and projected future municipal and dbm~stic

needs. The South Urnpqua River and tributaries ar~ generally

not of ~ufficient ~tiantity oi qualit~ to be reli~ble sources . .

Shortages of ~upply occur on m~ny of the streams in the south Umpqua drainage during the hot summer months froin; July through

October. Many tributary stre~ms of the main stem of the

I I

I I I !

i I I

Urnpgua River also reac.h such low levels of flow during

summer months that they cannot be considered reliable sources

of supply.

While the most desirable water for municipal and domestic

use is found in the North Urnpqua River drainage, the majority

of the basin population is located in the near proximity of

the South Umpgµa and main stern of the Urnpqua River.

Several of the existing water supply systems in the Umpqua

Basin are affected by water supply or water quality problems.

The following water systems are presently e~periencing pro-

blems or may have problems within the next 10 years:

City of Yoncalla City of Oakland Cities of Winston-Dillard Roberts Creek Water District City of Myrtle Creek Tri City City of Canyonville City of Glendale

In summary, the problems related to municipal and domestic

use may be stated generally as inadequate supply, especially

in summer months; poor quality of water due to various sources

of pollution; and varying degrees of water quality found in

streams presently used for sources of supply.

Irrigation

Irrigation is the largest consumptive use of water in the

Umpqua Basin. It is estimated that about 44,000 acre feet

of ~ater is used annually for irrigation purpose~. There

is presently about 17,500 acres of land und~r irrigation.

- 7 -

This is less than 12 per cent of the arable land in the

basin. ·Table 7 Appendix B lists the arable and presently

irrigated lands in the basin.

Annual shortages of irrigation water occur in the South

Umpqua River drainage and on several tributary streams to

the main stem of the Umpqua River. Irrigation demand ex-

ceeds the available supply in the July to October time

period on several streams, with shortages generally in-

creasing with time.

There has been little development of. ground water as a

source of irrigation water supply. Comprehensive ground

water studies have not been completed to determine the

extent of the ground water supply.

Many streams require regulation by water right priority

each year to lawfully.distribute the available irrigation

water supply. Streams requiring regulation are as follows:

Umpqua River

Elk Creek and tributaries -

Calapooya Creek and tributaries

Champagne Creek and tributaries

North Umpqua River

Cooper.Creek

Industrial water use in the Umpqua Basin is not well

documented. There are, however, several industrial users

that are known to have experienced water problems due to

shortages of natural streamflow or through minimum flow

enforcement. The following table lists the industrial user

Water supplies for wildlife in the Umpqua Basin are generally

adequate. There are five species of big game animals found

in the Umpqua Basin. These animals have minimal water re­

quirements and supplies are adequate for their needs. There

are eight species of upland game animals in the basin; again,

their water requirements are small and supplies are adequate.

Furbearing animals are affected by water quality problems.

The furbearers thrive near water but will not tolerate highly

polluted water. Waterfowl within the Umpqua Basin are limited

by the lack of attractive habitat. The future of the water­

fowl population in the basin depends on land and water use

practices. ' If no more waterfowl habitat is developed, bird

numbers will remain low.

Flooding

Historically, flooding has been a major problem throughout

the Umpqua Basin. Damages from flooding have been severe

and economic losses high. The most severe flood of record

occurred in 1964 when damages exceeded 29 million dollars

in the Umpqua Basin (1964 price levels). The flood caused

extensive damage to roads and bridges, houses and buildings

on flood plains, houses and buildings within cities and

towns and to over 16,000 acres of agricultural land. There

is only_ one flood retarding structure in the Umpqua Basin, con­

sequently there · is .little physical deterrent to a repetition of

the flooding and economic loss which occurred in 1964.

Othe r dama g es f rom f looding include damage t o f ish spawning

areas and streamside wildlife habitat. No monetary value is

- 11 -

placed on these damages· or on the ae-st:hetic values lo·st

through stream channel erosion and destruction of adjacent

recreational areas.

CONCLUSIONS

Municipal Water Supply

Future municipal water supply ·shortages are a significant

problem in the South Umpqua Basin.

Municipal water . supplies are adequate for present a'.Iid futu:re

needs in the North Umpqua Basin.

Development of municipal water supplies in storage reservoirs

could meet existing and p:toject~d municipal needs.

It would be riecessary to utilize regional water systems to

take full economic advantage of developed municipal water

supplies.

Irrigation Water Supply

Irrigation water shortages occur ort an annual basis on many

of the streams throughout the South Umpqua Basin and on some

tributary streams to the main stem of the Umpqua River.

The existing irrigated acreage is small compared to.the

potentially irrigable acreage in the Umpqua Basin .

. '

The extent of the ground water supply in the umpqua ~asin

has not been .determined. It is presently estimated to not be

of sufficieht quantity to supply the irrigation potential.

I I

.

Some areas of deficient irrigation water supply could be

. served from storage reservoirs.

Industria·1 Wate·r Supply

Industrial water supply in the Umpqua Basin is not well

documented. Some industrial users have been affected

by water supply shortages and lack of water may deter

industrial development in the South Umpqua drainage.

Mining Water· Supp·ly

There is little documentation of mining water use or future

needs. It is assumed that there is no shortage of.water

for mining purposes in the basin.

Domestic Water- Supply

Domestic water supplies for residences outside of municipal

or group domestic service areas are from wells, springs and

streams. In many cases, these sources are inadequate and

subject to pollution from surface disturbance.

Regional water systems could improve the quality and

quantity of domestic water in some areas where the prox­

imity of users and the availability of water are coincident.

Water Supply fo:r Livestock

There is sufficient quantity and quality of water in the

Umpqua Basin for both existing and projected livestock use.

Water Supply for Temperature Control

Water for temperature control for agricultural purposes is

not presently a significant use in the Umpqua Basin.

- 13 .....:

Temperature control in surface watei· streams is critical

for maintenance of aquatic life.

Water supply for temperature control could be supplied

from storage reservoirs if the demand becomes significant.

Power Development

Hydroelectric power is a non-consumptive, desirable use of

water that is well established in the Umpqua Basin.

Hydroelectric power should be considered for developfuent at

any potential sites in the basin.

Recreation

Water related recreation is a desirable activity ahd should

be planned for and encouraged within the Umpqua Basin.

Natural lakes, storage reservoirs arid free flo~ing strea~s

should be managed ·to include recreation whenev§r possible.

Wildiif e

The water resources of the Umpqua Basin are critical to the

subsistence and propagation of the basin's wildlife.

Water resources development plans should include the pro­

tection of wildlife resources.

Fish Life

The fishery in the Umpqua Basin is a significant resource

which is well documented by the Oregon Fish an'.d Wildlife

Commission.

- 14 -

•

Some areas are known to contribute pollution to streams

which is harmful to aquatic life.

Water.resource plans should recognize the importance of

protecting aquatic· life.

Water in storage reservoirs could be used to enhance aquatic

life by providing minimum streamf lows and water temperatures

at critical times.

Flooding

Flooding occurs frequently on many streams throughout the

Umpqua Basin. Damages resulting from floods are high and

there is presently only· one flood pr9tection structure in the

basin.

' Many flooding problems could be alleviated by flood retention

structures, by flood.plain management, by watershed treat-

ment measures or by combinations of the above.

Pollution Abatement

Several streams in the Umpqua Basin reach critically low

flows annually which are not sufficient to dilute pollutants.

Pollution abatement can, in some cases, be achieved through

control of pollution sources. In other cases, such as non-

point source pollution or degradation due to high tempera-

tures, pollution could be abated through increased streamflow

of lower temperature. This type of abatement could be

achieved through release of water from storage reservoirs.

UMPQUA BASIN WATER USE POLICY

In accordance with the legislation adopted in 1955, the newly created

Water Resources Board began its water resources studies and policy development

activities in the Umpqua Basin. The directive given the Board was to develop

a water resources policy for the state and to devise plans and programs for the

"' devel opme_nt of the water resources. For further explanation of the legislature 1 s

statement of policy, reference should be made to Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter

;

536.

The chronological history of water use policy activities during the

period 1956 through 1974 is shown below.

uses of water for domestic, municipal, irrigation, power

development, industrial, mining, recreation, wildlife, and

fish life uses; and for pollution abatement as well as other

related subjects including drainage, reclamation, flood

plains and reservoir sites; and

WHEREAS as a result of said studies the following

findings have been reached by this Board:

I. Basinwide Findings

A. There is sufficient water supply on an annual yield

basis to satisfy existing and future needs.

B. There is a seasonal distribution problem with

insufficient water supply in many streams during

the low flow months.

C. Irrigation water use is the major consumptive use

of the resource in the basin.

D. In many streams shortages of surface water supply

for irrigation occur during the late summer months.

E. Most municipal water use is supplied by surface

water sources.

F. In many streams during the low flow season, flows

are less than minimum perennial streamflows recog-

nized as needed to sustain fish life.

G. Recommended minimum perennial streamflows for fish

life during August thr-0ugh October in many streams

can be met only through augmentation of existing or

natural low flows.

A-7

,,. -

(_ . ·""'"'-

H. Major water pollution problems exist in many streams

in the basin. Both man-made and natural pollution

exist.

I. 'Future water supply needs will be met primarily by

surface water and will require storage of winter

flows. Storage sites exist throughout the basin.

J. Known ground water supplies are of limited quantity

throughout most of the basin.

K. A study of the available ground water resource and · ·

its distribution is needed.

L. Existini use of water under dbmestic water iights,

although small, relative to existing streamflo·w~ is

of great importance.

M. Future consumptive withdrawals could conflict with

instream uses in many streams.

N. There are sites on some stTeams where substantial

potential exists for hydroelectric power development.

o~ Existing and potential watet use for minin~ is small.

P. Recr.ea ti on is an important ~actor in the economy of

the basin and will in~rease in importance iil the

future. Sport fishing is pr~sently a lea4ing water-

based recreational activity~

,_ Ump qua Bas i'n Program

The State Water Resources Board on November 2, 1966, approved an exception to allow utilization of one cubic foot per second of the waters of Calapooya .Cre~k for industrial purposes with the provision that any effluent or return flows from this use will not interfere with other beneficial uses of water.

The State Water Resources Board .on October 12, 1967, approved an exception to allow the utilization of one cubic foot per second of the waters of Calapooya Creek for industrial purposes, speci~ fically a sand and gravel operation, with the understanding that the appropriation meet the requirements of the Fish Commission of Oregon, the Oregon State Game Commission, and the State Sanitary Authority as contained in letters from.the aforementioned agen¢ies which are part of the hearing record and with the further uhdet-s tanding that this exception does not abrogate any other part of the program.

APPENDIX B

Precipitation and Temperature From the records of the National Weather Service,

five locations were chosen· to depict the climatic conditions of the Umpqua

basin. The series of precipitation graphs, figures l to 5, show the annual

i totals along with seasonal fluctuations. The temperatur~ graphs, figure 6,

indicate monthly maximums, minimums and averages. For purpos~ of comparison,

a common base period, 1954 to 1973, was used. All values and averages indicated.

on these graphs are relative to this 20 year period. Temperature is expressed

in terms of absolute maximum (highest recorded), absoJute minimum (lowest ;r

recorded), and average (.of a 11 recorded) for each month during the base period.

Index numbers l to 5 on the Hydrological Stations map, plate 4, refer to

figures l to 5 respectively and serve to identify the geographic locations of

the stations selected to illustrate the basins weather.

Snow Date from Snow Survey Measurements, published by the Soil Conservation

Service, was utilized in the preparation of the snow graphs from six repre­

sentative locations. The April l measurements of snow depth and water content

were used to obtain an indicator of subsequent runoff during the spring

snowmelt. At each of the selected snow courses, figures 7 and 8, all years of

record available .were included to portray the considerable variptionof snow

and water equivalent with respect to elevation and geographic location. The

siX courses are arranged in order of elevation. Locations of the three snow

graphs in figure 7, Diamond Crater, Windigo Pass, and Diamond Lake, are

indicated on the Hydrological Station map with index numbers 7A, 7B, and 7C.

Red Butte 1, North Umpqua, and Trap Creek graphs in figure 8 are designated

BA, BB, and BC respectiveiy.

B-1

Runoff The annual water supply papers published by the United States Geolo­

gical Survey provided the sources of data for the graphics illustrating

runoff characteristics of the Umpqua River and its tributaries. Annual . . .

runoff in acre feet as well as the monthly distrib~tion of an average year

are shown for each of six representa'tive stream gaging stations, figures

9-14. All available years of record were used to determine the average

annual runoff values and the monthly distribution percentages for these

stations. The stream gaging stations in figures 9-14 are denoted by corre-

sponding numbers on the Hydrological Station map, plate 4.

Floods The data compiled in table l and table 2 wa$ extracted from United

States Geological Survey surface water records and open file report, Flood

Profiles in the Umpqua River Basin, Oregon. Table l summarizes maximum

recorded floods and flood magnitudes which may be expected to recur at key

stream gaging stations. The recurrence interval, in years, is the average

period in which a given flood magni .tude might be equaled or exceeded. However,

it should not be construed to imply any regularity of occurrence. Table 2,

Major Floo<:is in the Umpqua River Basin, is a t.abulation of available records

of peak flows. These values represent the maximum instantaneous discharge

occurring at the listed stations during significant floods. Because of

different periods of record, a complete series . of maximum discharge values

is not available for each station.

l::ow Flows A summary of the. low flow . data is presented in table 3. Quantities

Jppearing in this tabulation are derived from surface water records of the

U.S. Geol ogi ca 1 Survey and are i nte.nded to refi ect recorded discharges.

Extreme minimums would probably have been everi iower at some statibns if more

B,..2 ,. '

extensive records had been available. The variable record periods, last

column, s hou·l d be considered when comparing flows. Stat i ans i-nc l uded in this

low flow data are the same as those accounted for in the maximum fl ow i nfor­

mati on contained in table l.

Water Temperature. Table 4 .is a compilation, by months, of the average water

temperature at key stations. The listing is based on continuously recording

thermographs operated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Oregon State

Game Commission for approximately a year and a half in 1961 and 1962 at

several locations in the Umpqua River basin. During the period water tem­

peratures were observed, maximum readings were recorded in July at each ·

location. These dbservations include highs of 85 degrees F belbw Riddle on

Cow· Creek, 84 degree~ F at Ti 11 er on the South Umpqua River, 94 degrees F

at Winston on the South Umpqua River, and 73 degrees F at Winchester on the

North Umpqua River.

Water Facilities Present development of water supply systems in the basin is

reflected by the general information assembled in table 5. Pertinent data

including supplying agency, water resource, and type of treatment is listed

for each of the existing facilities. Douglas County Comprehensive Water and

Sewerage Plan, May 1970 was the source of material for this tabulation.

Reservoir Sites A collection of basic data on reservoir sites which are

recommended for construction appears in table 6. This inventory contains

details pertaining to the physical features of proposed structures as well

as hydrologic information relative to the watersheds involved. Data sources

for these entrie~ are the sponsoring agencies identified in the last column.

B-3

The sites included in the Calapooya Watershed Project are those reseryoirs

being considered by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service. Since a final

determination has hot yet been made as to which of these storage sites ~ould

be most beneficial to the project, they are, for the purpose of this compilation,

classified as potential. Location of reservoir sites is shown on the Umpqua

basin map, plate 5.

Irrigation Table 7 presents a summary of lands being irrigated and the total

arable land by subbasin areas. The values listed in the present irri~ation

column are based on 1973 information verifie9 by colored aerial photography.

Arable land figures generally include all areas which fall in the broad

spectrum of suitability classifications from good to poor. Excludeq from this

accounting are urban areas and land with excessive slopes. Plate 6 delineates

the irrigated and arable lands of the basin.

Recreation Relevant data concerning facilities and activities available at

recreation areas in the basin has been assembled in table 8. Each of· the 115

identified locations are open to public usage. These areas are administered

and maintained by the National Park Service~ U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Bureau

of Land Management, State of Oregon and Doirnlci.s County. A private firm,

International Paper Company, developed two of the public recreation sites.

;Resorts and commercial areas are not included in the compilation'. Informq.tion

regarding notable features of the developed sites was, for the most part, J ~enerated from publications of the U.S. Forest Service, Oregon State Highway ,, Division and Douglas County Parks Department. In addition to the more --popular outdoor activities which are itemized in the table, such ~sthetic

attractions as scenic vistas, nature studie$ and geofogical formations can

-~-4

also be found at many of these areas. The recreation areas map, plate 7,

locates these sites within the Umpqua basin.

Fish· Table 8, fish spawning areas, reflects the wide distribution of fish

·· resources in the Umpqua basiil. In this inventory streams used for spawning

by the various fish species are 1 isted in upstream order. A total of 139

streams support at least one species of freshwater game fish. This total

represents a majority of the water courses in the basin .. with perennial

streamflows . . The most abundant and widely distributed species is the steel­

head trout. The format of this tabulation, in an ascending upstream arrange-

. ment, affords a general indication of what levels of the watershed certain

species utilize to reproduce and which species are compatible. · This table

was deve.loped by extracting data from the Oregon Department .of Fish and

Wildlife publication, Environmental Investigations ~ Umpqua River Basin.

Maps Following the tabular data is a series of maps depicting various facets

of Umpqua River basin water resources, their develop~ent and management.

These maps, identified as plates 1 through 7, illustrate such fundamental

·information as the stream network, physiographic provinces, average annual

·. precipit~tion, hydrological stations, reservoir sites, irrigated and irrigable

lands and recreation ateas.
