Includes a brief report of a survey of the Yaquina River to the head of tide, including part of the Big Elk River up to Sunset Quarry. Concludes that the river is "sufficiently navigable to meet all demands of commerce," (p.2) and does not recommend any improvements.
This report presents data collected during the first full field season of
a project designed to examine the streamflow requirements of juvenile salmonids. Problems encountered in the original design, changes made in the design and the application of the expected results are discussed.
Field investigations were implemented to study the interrelationships between streamflows and salmonid production during the summer-fall low flow period in two natural stream channels. Elk Creek, near Cannon Beach in Clatsop County, was the site selected for intensive investigation.
Construction of streamflow control and diversion facilities was completed in November...
A survey was made on this date for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not log jams in the Elk City region of the Yaquina River and Elk River (Yaquina River tributary) were a serious menace to the passage of salmon.
