Essays on land use regulation

Creator:: Hascic, Ivan
Abstract:: This dissertation consists of three papers on land use economics and regulation. The first paper focuses on the environmental impacts of land use and their implications for the design on water quality trading policies. The second and third papers address local land use regulations and their impact on land values...

Water quality of runoff from flood irrigated pasture in the Klamath Basin, Oregon

Creator:: Ciotti, Damion C.
Abstract:: Runoff from agricultural lands into Upper Klamath Basin rivers and lakes can cause water quality problems affecting fish and wildlife. Excessive eutrophication in Upper Klamath Lake is linked to high nutrient input (particularly phosphorus) stemming from both lake sediments and watershed tributaries. On a unit area load basis the Wood...

Evaluation of bacterial community indicators of stream sanitary and ecological condition

Creator:: Bracken, Caragwen L.
Abstract:: The focus of this research was to develop bacterial community indicators of stream sanitary and ecological condition. The first study compared substrate utilization patterns between centrifuged and uncentrifuged split samples. We found a shift in the relative proportion of each group of bacteria following centrifugation, with a marked increased in...

Evaluating Oregon's beach sites and assessing twenty-six coastal beach areas for recreational water quality standards

Creator:: Benedict, Rae T.
Abstract:: With congressional passage of the BEACH Act in October of 2000, Coastal and Great Lakes states were mandated to assess coastal recreation waters for the application of ambient water quality standards. This research encompasses two components involved in applying the BEACH Act statues to Oregon. The first component was to...

Residents' attitudes toward water resource protection in metropolitan Portland, Oregon

Creator:: Larson, Kelli L., 1975-
Abstract:: Three research questions are addressed in this study: (1) To what degree do residents support/oppose various aspects of water resources protection? (2) What factors explain residents' attitudes? and, (3) How do attitudes vary between participants and nonparticipants of place-based groups (watershed councils and neighborhood associations)? The population of interest is...

A physical and chemical characterization of stream water draining three Oregon Coast Range catchments

Creator:: Hale, V. Cody
Abstract:: Few studies have examined both long-term and fine-scale spatial variations in water quality of small streams in the Pacific Northwest. As such, a case study was conducted to determine if current physical and chemical properties of water in three streams located in the Oregon Coast Range differed from historically measured...

Source identification of fecal pollution in the Tillamook watershed : antibiotic discriminant analysis

Creator:: Bower, Robert J.
Abstract:: The identification of sources of point and nonpoint fecal pollution is difficult to determine. Understanding the sources of fecal organisms in quality limited waters could greatly enhance our ability to restore and protect the water quality and habitat of these systems. Antibiotic resistance patterns of fecal streptococci bacteria were analyzed...

Fecal coliform bacteria in stream sediments : sampling methodology, measurement and modeling the impact on stream water quality

Creator:: Church, Wendy S.
Abstract:: Three studies were conducted related to the measurement and impact of stream sediment fecal coliform (FC) bacteria on stream water quality. In part one an enumeration technique for sediment FC was defined and statistically characterized. This characterization necessitated the development of a sample splitting mechanism, which was found to split...

Economic analysis of restoration practices to improve water quality and fish habitat of a large river floodplain : a case study of the Willamette River, Oregon

Creator:: Seedang, Saichon
Abstract:: In- stream water temperature is one of the most important environmental factors associated with the decline in salmonid populations and their habitats in the Pacific Northwest. Most ecological restoration practices that attempt to reduce instream temperatures center on replanting or reestablishing riparian vegetation and increasing flows. However, in a large...
