Miller Lake was chemically treated with toxaphene on September 16, 1958 to destroy a population of parasitic lamprey (E.tridentatus) and Tui Chub (Siphatelep bicolor). Toxaphene was applied at the rate of 0.04 ppm. No lamprey or fish have been collected in the lake since the chemical treatment. Work since 1959...
Malheur Reservoir located in Malheur County, Oregon, was chemically treated with liquid rotenone on October 11, 1962 to eliminate an abundant population of black crappie and a smaller population of fine scale suckers and redside shiners.
Tests for toxicity indicated the reservoir had detoxified prior to December 1, 1962.

Malheur Reservoir in Malheur County, Oregon, was chemically treated on October 11, 1962, to eliminate an abundant population of black crappie and a smaller population of finescale suckers and redsided shiners. A total of 1,100 gallons of liquid synergized rotenone (Pro-Noxfish) was used to establish a toxicity of 1.5 p.p.m....
Rehabilitation of Bully Creek Reservoir, its tributaries, and segments of the Malheur River system was completed in 1963. All waters treated supported large populations of undesirable fish. The treatment procedures are discussed by project segment within the report. A portion of the funds was appropriated by the U. S. Bureau...
Fintrol-5 was experimentally tested in six isolated gold dredge ponds in Sumpter Valley. The tests revealed all coarse fish in treated ponds were killed in a period varying between 7 hours and 144 hours; toxic water subbing from treated ponds would kill fish in downstream ponds if water table dillution...
The project objectives were to determine the possibility of raising the subterranean water in adequate amounts by installation of an underground weir; to determine what type of structure would be most feasible; and to formulate a biological evaluation program if the first two objectives were accomplished. Tex Creek, tributary to...
South Twin Lake in Deschutes County, Oregon was chemically treated September 14, 1965, to eliminate a population of Tui Chub (Siphateles bicolor). A total of 605 gallons of liquid synergized rotenone and 9,750 pounds of powdered rotenone was applied to the lake. It was estimated that 130,000 mature chub were...
Clear Creek, tributary of North Fork John Day River, is a mountain stream located in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon. It joins Granite Creek about 1.5 miles below the old abandoned mining town of Granite. Gravel removed from Clear Creek by gold dredging activity was replaced in a 3.37-mile...
A segment of the Crooked River, Crook County, Oregon, was chemically treated along with sections of Ochoco Creek, McKay Creek, and Dry River from August 13 to November 5, 1963.' A total of 860 gallons of liquid synergized rotenone (Pro-Noxfish) was used to obtain toxicities up to 2.0 ppm in...
The following projects were completed between July 1, 1965, and June 30, 1966, under the stream clearance segment of the State-wide Stream Improvement Program. The larger segments were initiated by requesting competitive bids with the contract for logjam removal awarded to the lowest acceptable bid. The smaller projects were undertaken...
