Description:
Abstract: This coverage provides information about the location and extent dredge material disposal sites in the Chetco estuary, as in the Oregon Estuary Plan Book. Original map scale 1:1000
Purpose:
Historically, dumping of material dredged from navigation
channels and harbors has been a major source of damage to
estuarine resources. Estuary plans will avoid or minimize
further losses by identifying appropriate locations and
techniques for disposing of dredge material. Plans for each
estuary where dredging is proposed include a dredged
material disposal (DMD) plan. The DMD plan includes several
components: 1. An estimate of the amount and location of
dredging likely to occur over the next 20 years. This
estimate is based on the development designations approved
in the plan and needs for channel maintenance or deepening
in approved navigation channels. 2. An analysis of
potential sites and techniques for disposal of dredged
material. The particular types of sites and methods for
dredged material disposal vary, depending upon the physical
setting of the estuary, the availability and cost of upland
disposal sites, and the amount of material that needs to be
dredged and disposed of. 3. Designation and protection of
sufficient appropriate sites for future use for dredged
material disposal.
Supplemental Information:
Estuary plans contain a variety of approaches to protect
designated dredged material disposal (DMD) sites. Despite
differences, most protection measures preclude land uses on
the site that would prevent its use for dredged material
disposal. Temporary uses and other uses which do not
involve extensive improvements, such as parking, storage,
or farming, are allowed. Uses which would involve more
extensive capital improvements or the extension of
utilities are restricted or prohibited. Protective zones
typically contain provisions which remove protective zoning
once the site has been fully used for disposal. Some plans
and ordinances allow protective zoning to be removed if the
site is replaced by an equally suitable site. Some
jurisdictions have inventoried DMD sites that do not merit
the same protection as priority sites. Called """"Reserve""""
or Inventory"""" sites, they are generally not restricted as
to permitted uses. Protection for these secondary DMD sites
usually only involves special notice and review
requirements for proposed land uses. Such provisions delay
approval for up to 60 to 90 days to allow interested
parties or agencies to negotiate for use of the site for
dredge spoils before the land use is officially approved.
Types of Dredged Material Disposal Sites Uplands - These
are shoreland sites that are either vacant or have only
minimal development. Often marginal agricultural lands are
designated for dredged material disposal. In
non-agricultural areas, dredged material disposal can serve
to make a site more developable. In EFU-zoned areas, DMD
plans typically require that the area be restored to
agricultural use once disposal is complete.
Flow-lane Disposal - Flow-lane disposal involves the
dumping of dredged material back into the estuary to allow
river currents and tidal action to push the added material
out of the estuary. Designation of flow-lane sites requires
careful study of estuarine hydraulics to assure that dumped
material is adequately flushed out of the estuary and does
not pile up and smother productive subtidal or intertidal
areas. Development Sites - Dredged material is often used
as a source of fill material for approved projects in
development management units. It is difficult to estimate
the capacity of such sites because the amount of fill
allowed will usually be determined in the permit process,
when the details of the particular project are known. Ocean
Disposal - Ocean disposal of dredged material is regulated
by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). EPA-approved
sites are designated outside a number of the state's
important ports, including the Columbia River, Tillamook
Bay, Depoe Bay, Yaquina Bay, and Coos Bay. Ocean disposal
involves transporting material offshore on a barge or in a
hopper dredge to be dumped in open ocean waters.

Original Base maps were prepared by the Division of State
Lands in 1972 and 1973 using aerial photographs from the
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS EROS Data Center, NASA). These
base maps were used in 1978 and 1979 by the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife in its mapping of estuarine
habitats as part of DLCD's estuary inventory project. ODFW
used aerial photography, published studies, and some onsite
investigation to prepare its maps of estuarine habitats.
Estuary and shoreland planning designations were compiled
from local plans in 1986-87 by DLCD. Neither the DSL base
nor ODFW study cover the Columbia River estuary. The base
map for this area is a 1"" = 1000' map prepared by the
Columbia River Estuary Data Development Project (CREDDP) in
1983. Habitat information for the Columbia River was
prepared by staff of the Columbia River Estuary Study Task
Force (CREST) in 1985. CREST compiled various CREDDP
studies, converted data to the ODFW habitat classification,
and prepared the habitat map provided here.
Comprehensive plan and habitat maps were digitized by the
Oregon Department of Energy in 1986 and 1987 using an
ARC/INFO Geographic Information System. Full scale maps
(usually at 1"" = 1000') were photographically reduced to
fit the format of the Plan Book document, and are produced
at varying scales.
Digitized maps were reviewed by DOE and DLCD staff to
identify inconsistencies and digitizing errors. The most
common inconsistency was disagreement between the ODFW
Habitat Map and the local plan maps in establishing the
location of the estuary shoreline. DLCD staff reviewed
aerial photographs. plan documents, and consulted with
local planners to resolve inconsistencies.
