Walker Creek Scenic Waterway

Recreational River Area:

Walker Creek from its source downstream to its confluence with the Nestucca River.

(2)

The Department will administer the Recreational Area described in section (1) consistent with the purposes of OAR 736-040-0040 (Classification of Scenic Waterways and Segments Thereof)(1)(c)(B). Within this area, the Department may permit mining operations, timber harvesting, other landscape alteration activities, new structures and improvements only when substantially screened from view from the creek and from the boundary of the Walker Creek Wetland/Meadow area. The boundary of the Walker Creek Wetland/ Meadow extends to the transition area at the edge of the wetlands where hydric soils no longer occur. All landscape alterations (i.e., timber management) shall be carried out in such a manner as to protect hydrological and biological functions of the Walker Creek Wetland/Meadow. Timber harvest shall be conducted as prescribed by the Oregon Forest Practices Act and administrative rules. For other landscape alteration proposals, the project applicant shall provide methods by which hydrological and biological functions will be protected. Developments necessary for public outdoor recreation, as provided by public agencies, and resource protection or enhancement may be visible from the river but must blend into the natural scene.

(3)

For the purposes relating to notification of intent within the Walker Creek Scenic Waterway, any maintenance, repair or expansion of McGuire Dam and its appurtenances (including pipes and pumping facilities) is exempt from notification review so long as said activity does not extend westerly of the north/south centerline of Section 15, Township 3 South, Range 6 West, Willamette Meridian, Yamhill County.
