The Western Oregon Paired Watershed Studies: Initial Results, Limitations and Policy Implications
In this memorandum, aquatic ecologist Chris Frissell refutes industry claims, explaining why the three “Paired Watershed Studies” in western Oregon do not provide sound reasons to delay or cease the current rule making process to improve stream buffers on small and medium fish-bearing streams. This report follows up and expands on Dr. Frissell’s presentation to the Board of Forestry at the June 23, 2014, Riparian Rules Workshop

The following journal articles address the differences between Oregon Forest Practices Act rules and those in Washington, California, and in the federal Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP), through illustrative comparisons. Oregon’s rules are less protective of streams than those of Washington and the NWFP, and, to a lesser extent, California’s forest practices rules.
