FOREWORD The basic responsibility of the Area Redevelopment Admini- stration of the U.S. Department of Commerce is to help revitalize the economies of American communities suffering from chronic unemployment and underemployment. One way of assisting a community is to determine the kinds and the magnitudes of its economic problems and the possible solutions. ARA helps do this through its Tech- nical Assistance program. This publication is a product of a technical assistance contract with the firm of Cornell, Howland , Hayes & Merryfield, Engineers and Planners, of Corvallis, Oregon. This study determines the feasibility of developing small boat harbors and related marine facilities suitable for the requirements of commercial fishing and recre- ational boating activities in 15 general areas in the State of Oregon. In view of the increasing interest and activity in small boating, the conclusions and recom- mendations have general and broad applicability for the entire small boating industry. William L.

S. Department of Commerce, Area Redevel- opment Administration, Washington, D. C. , dated 15 January 1964. Mr. George F. Merlino is the Contracting Officer. PURPOSE The purpose of the study is to determine the feasibility of de- veloping small boat harbors and related marine facilities suitable for the requirements of commercial fishing and recreational boating activities in 1 5 general areas in 6 ARA designated counties within the State of Oregon. The ARA is also interested in the employment opportunities that can be created for local residents through construe tion and operation of such facilities. SCOPE The study includes, for each of the general areas, an inventory of existing small boat facilities, a survey of the resources and attrac- tions for commercial use and recreational boating, an estimate of the probable future requirements for small boat facilities, a prelimi- nary layout for development of facilities in accordance with the pre- dicted demand, an economic analysis of probable income and expense, and a brief discussion of the possible effect of construction of the pro- posed new facilities on employment in the area. The study also includes a typical design for float structures which may be used at all locations. The scope does not include soil borings or other detailed site property or engineering investigations, nor does it include comparison of alternate sites in the same general area. Construction at any of the locations will require further field work and the preparation of construction plans and specifications. Recreational Boating and Commercial Fishing in Oregon. General. Recreational boating and commercial fishing both bring into use several of the same State resources. Although the coastal streams of Oregon, except for the Columbia River, are closed to commercial fishing, the offshore banks provide both sport and commercial fisheries, and the same species are sought in both pursuits. Oregon's fishing vessels are generally small craft (under 5 net tons) requiring the same degree of protection from storm conditions, the same depths and width of channels for navigation, and generally the same type of shore facilities for support as do the pleas- ure craft. R ecreational Boating. There were 45, 638 pleasure boats registered with the State Marine Board on 1 January 1962. This is approximately double the number which were registered in 1957. It is estimated that 50, 000 small boats will be registered in 1964 and that there will be an average of one boat for every 36 persons in the Oregon population today (50, 000 boats for 1, 816, 000 population). Projections as shown on Figure 1 indicate that the number of boats in Oregon will again double by the year 1980. At that time, the ratio of boats to population is expected to average one boat to every 23 people. A recent survey indicates that fishing is the principal recreational activity of small boat owners and that cruising and sightseeing con- stitute the chief activity of the owners of large boats (21 feet in length and over). The Oregon State Game Commission reports that the number of licensed hunters and anglers in the state increased by over 50 per- cent in the years from 1949 to 1959 and predicts that the number will reach 1, 000, 000 by 1970. The State Game Commission also estimates that hunters and anglers now spend $60, 000, 000 yearly in following their avocation and that the amount spent will exceed $100, 000, 000 in 1972. Commercial Fishing. Altnough for 1963 a total of 3, 000 licensed commercial fishermen and 1, 469 commercial fishing boats were reg- istered with the Oregon State Marine Board, Oregon's commercial fishery is relatively small when measured in dollars or tons of fish. Oregon's share of the nation's fishing in 1962 was 1. 1 percent of total volume and 1. 7 percent of the total value. The State Fish Commis- sion reports that the industry is declining and that no increase is con- templated until a market for less utilized species is developed. 5,000,000 1,000,000 100,000 10,000 POPULATIG STATE OF N FORCAST OREGON • " PLEASURE BC AT REGISTRA riON FORCAS T ^ ^ ** 1960 1965 1970 1975 YEAR 1980 •OREGON STATE BOARD ON CENSUS BULLETIN P-10 FIGURE i POPULATION AND PLEASURE BOAT REGISTRATION FORCAST STATE OF OREGON ( 1960 TO 1980 J Inshore, the salmon is the major species taken commercially and includes the Chinook, Blueback or Sockeye, Silver, and Chum varieties. Offshore, the flounder, ocean perch, rockfish, and sole are important. Albacore tuna, which in 1944 provided 22-1/2 mil- lion pounds, have almost disappeared from the Oregon coastal waters. Secondary species, as far as Oregon landings are concerned, are halibut, ling cod, sablefish, steelhead, shad, smelt, and sturgeon. SELECTION OF SITES FOR . SMALL BOAT FACILITIES IN OREGON Criteria for judging sites for the location of small boat facili- ties in Oregon may reasonably be based on the primary incentive for boating which is now and probably will continue to be fishing. Thus, the prime consideration for location is proximity to the ocean. After proximity to the ocean, the other features considered de- sirable for location are listed and discussed in the paragraphs which follow: Access. Location should be adjacent to or visible from a main highway. A well laid out and busy marina has great ability to draw tourists and vacationers in addition to those who are boat owners or users. Restaurants, shops, and motels adjacent to or over- looking such facilities are given an extraordinary appeal, and people will drive miles out of their way to patronize them. Other indirect benefits flow to the resort community from this appeal. Land Ow nership Since the construction of a modern marina is an undertaking too large in scope for most private businesses, the task may well fall upon a port district, city, or county to provide the land and initiate the project. If publicly owned land is available for use, beginning of the project will be easier. Protected Entrance Channel. In addition to proximity to the ocean, means must be provided to assure a safe passage from the moorage area through the breakers to open sea. The channel must be deep enough to prevent ocean waves from breaking in the entrance. In most cases, a jetty is also required to stabilize the entrance, pre- vent shoaling, and provide wave energy dissipation. STUDY AREAS The six counties and fifteen general locations which fall within the scope of this study have been grouped into three general geo- graphic areas as shown on Plate I - 1 of Appendix I. The decision to deal with the fifteen sites on a county and county-group basis was taken for the following reasons: 1. Statistics on boat registrations and use are available on a county basis and are not now available in further detailed breakdown. 2. The construction cost of a modern marina is generally above the financial capabilities of most private businesses and of the small towns in which the sites to be studied are located. Most Oregon ma- rinas have been constructed with major county or port district (and often Federal) participation. 3. In any of the locations studied, the establishment of a boat harbor large enough to be feasible from an operating standpoint will have an effect on all boating installations in the county. Older and less desirable facilities may suffer a loss of customers and revenue. Others may benefit from the general increase in boating traffic brought about by interest generated by the new facility. Lincoln County is not contiguous with any of the other five coun- ties, and its group of five sites is designated as Study Area 1. Clatsop and Columbia Counties, which have a common boundary with four sites oriented toward the Columbia River and its estuary, and one site with direct access to the Pacific Ocean, are designated as Study Area 2. Hood River, Wasco, and Sherman Counties are contiguous and form Study Area 3, well separated from the other 2 areas. Sites (general areas) to be studied within each group are listed as follows: Study Area Counties Sites 1 Lincoln Alsea Bay - Waldport Yaquina Bay - Newport Yaquina River - Toledo Depoe Bay Siletz Bay - Taft 2 Clatsop and Astoria (2) Columbia Rainier St. Helens Seaside Warrenton Study Area Counties Sites 3 Hood River, Cascade Locks Wasco, and Deschutes (mouth) Sherman Hood River The Dalles SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS 1. The probable increase in population, the growth of interest in recreational boating, and the natural deterioration and obsole- scence of waterfront structures which occurs with age, may require, during the period 1965-1975, new small boat facilities in the six counties studied in the amounts listed below: TABLE 1 SUMMARY OF FACILITIES Counties L; aunching Ramps Wet Slips, No. (Lanes) 394 28 900 40 193 1_8 1, 487 86 Lincoln Clatsop and Columbia Hood River, Wasco, & Sherman TOTAL 2. The requirements for facilities for the commercial fishing fleet are not expected to increase within the forseeable future. Develop- ment of a market for the fish species which are not now utilized could change this situation; the construction of additional harbors or facili- ties will not do so. Continuing requirements of the present commercial fishing fleet are included in the figures given in the previous paragraph. 3. Establishment of a chain of small boat barbors on the Oregon coast and up the Columbia River would provide safety and interesting and attractive destinations for small boat cruising. Completion of the facilities proposed in this study will not complete such a chain, but will noticeably improve the situation. 4. The established trend among boat owners is to patronize the modern marina type facility where complete service for the boat is provided and the needs of the passengers may be satisfied. In addition to boat moorages, the modern marina provides water, elec- tricity, fueling facilities, launching hoists and ramps, sales and repair, supplies, bait and tackle shops. For the boater's personal needs, rest rooms and food service facilities are essential and lock- er and showers, lounge, and picnic area desirable. Above all, ample and convenient parking for automobile and trailers is required. Table 2 shows a recommended priority for providing such facilities in the Oregon counties studied. 5. The cost of construction of the marinas necessary to meet the demand for small boat facilities in 1975., in the counties under study, is listed below: Counties Estimated Cost Lincoln , $2,450,000 Clatsop and Columbia 6, 778, 000 Hood River, Wasco, & Sherman 1, 020, 000 TOTAL $10,248,000 These estimated costs include construction of the harbor protection where necessary, basin, piers, boat ramps, and land fill for parking, administrative and commercial areas, plus utilities and administra- tion and rest room structures. Other structures for sales, repair, supplies, restaurants, etc. , as is customary, would be provided by concessionaires on a lease and income-sharing basis. 6. Based on the schedules of charges now in effect at existing private and public moorages, the income from operation of the pro- posed small boat facilities might average $175, 000 per year. Capital costs on the basis of 50 -year amortization and interest at 3 percent would be $393, 000 per year. Operating expenses and maintenance could be $137,000. The operating deficit, $355, 000 per year, must there- fore be offset by indirect benefits. 7, Indirect benefits from the construction and operation of these facilities are estimated as follows: Construction employment (one time) 105, 000 man-days Maintenance employment 920 man-days/year Operating personnel (continuing) 4, 500 man-days/year Some increased benefits from tourist patronage will also accrue. 7 TABLE 2 RECOMMENDED PRIORITY FOR PROVIDING FACILITIES FOR SMALL BOAT HARBORS Relative Priority 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Facility Launch Ramp Car and Trailer Parking Wet-Slip Mooring Rest Rooms Harbormaster Office Food Service Water Fuel Electric Power Charter Service (where applicable) Boat, Motor Repair Bait, Tackle, Supply Sales Boat Hoist Dry Boat Storage Boat, Motor Sales and Rental Fish Processing (where applicable) Installation Owner (O) Concession (C) O O O O O C O C O C C C O C c c 8. With the cost of new facilities so large and the proportion of direct to indirect benefits so small, it is apparent that in most cases public sponsorship and financing may be necessary for construction. Private enterprise should be encouraged to provide support facilities on a lease and income sharing basis. 9. Public construction and operationof modern and attractive marinas will cause some dislocation of customers and loss of income to existing private facilities. The rate schedule at the new public fa- cilities should be designed to minimize the effect of such competition. 10. Some locations, because of existing improvements and natural advantages, are much more economical to develop than others. At the same time, the boating resources and the demand for facilities at some of the more expensive locations may be so superior as to offset the higher development costs. The condition and extent of present facilities and their deficiencies in relation to forecast demand constitute a third factor which enters into the establishment of rela- tive priorities for development, The list which follows is a recom- mended priority for development within the general areas and is based on an estimation of the combined weight of all three factors of judgment.

This report reviews a proposal to develop the Astoria Basin as a marina to accommodate all needs of the general area. Seaside has no harbor and no small boat experience to justify a pro- ject' The costs, principally for harbor protective works, are not within the same region of feasibility as the other general areas. 10 SOURCES OF CAPITAL FOR IMPROVE- MENT OF FACILITIES There are three and sometimes four sources of funds to finance capital improvements in small boat harbors and related marine facil- ities in Oregon,, These are: 1. County or Port District general obligation bond issues. 2. State Marine Board disbursement from boat registration fees to counties. 3. State gasoline taxes not refunded to boat owners. 4. Federal matching funds - Rivers and Harbors Act, etc. The State Marine Board disbursements from boat registration fees to the counties are based on the number of boats registered in each county. On this basis 9 the six counties received some $22, 000 for a 10-month period ending in October 1963. Disbursement on a "county- of-use" basis would give a much larger share, perhaps as much as $47, 000 per year, to the six counties. The State gasoline taxes not refunded to boat owners are used by the State Highway Department. A proposal to direct these monies to the State Marine Board was recently placed before the Legislature. On a "county-of-use" basis as above, the six counties' share might be as much as $55,000 per year, bringing the total income from regis- trations and gasoline tax to $102, 000 per year. This combined income of $102,000, if capitalized on a 50-year, three percent basis, would have a present value of approximately $2, 630, 000. INDIRECT BENEFITS FROM CONSTRUCTION OF SMALL BOAT HARBORS Construction of small boat harbors will allow the six counties to accommodate the predicted increase in number of boats (3, 310) during the 1965-1975 period. It is possible, using certain broad assumptions, to estimate the amount of the relative increase in income to the six counties from the 3, 310 additional boats. Assume that the average small boat crew contains three persons, and that each member spends $2. 50 per day for gasoline (less tax), food, bait, tackle, and other services and supplies. Further assume a 11 net profit of 10 percent on these purchases and the total annual bene- fit as represented by the net income becomes $111,400. Capitalized on a 50-year, three percent basis, the present value of this increase in boats and boating is $2, 860, 000. Adding the $2, 630, 000 from possible State sources to the $2 860, 000 benefit to local business makes a total of $5, 490, 000 which could conceivably be justified on a county or county group basis Further justifications probably exist, but will need to be assessed on a broader state or regional basis, which is beyond the scope of this study. 12 CHAPTER II STUDY AREA 1 - LINCOLN COUNTY LOCATION Lincoln County, on the Pacific Ocean, includes the central part of Oregon's Coast Range Mountains, 165 miles north of the California border and 90 miles south of the Columbia River. County land area is 985 square miles, covered almost entirely by commercial forest of hemlock, spruce, and Douglas fir timber. Its sixty miles of coast line is noted for rugged scenic beauty. Three large rivers draining the western slope of the Coast Range flow in a westerly direction through Lincoln County and discharge through bays and estuaries into the Pacific. These are the Siletz River in the north, the Yaquina River near the center, and the Alsea River in the south. Depoe Bay is a small natural rock-ribbed harbor on the coast between the mouths of the Yaquina and Siletz Rivers. The location of Lincoln County and adjacent areas is shown on Plate 1-1 > of Appendix I. POPULATION Lincoln County's population in 1963 was estimated to be 22, 500 people. The three largest cities are Newport, with a population of 5, 344; Toledo, with 3, 053; and Oceanlake, with 1, 341. Waldport and Taft have 667 and 557 people, respectively. The Port of Newport District includes Yaquina Bay and the lower Yaquina River, Depoe Bay, Siletz Bay, and the lower Siletz River; the Port of Toledo includes the upper Yaquina and Siletz Rivers; and the Port of Alsea includes Alsea Bay and the Alsea River. The Willamette Valley with its major population centers lies just inland and to the east of Lincoln County. Routes and distances from these centers to the Lincoln County boundary are shown in Table 3. 13 TABLE 3 DISTANCES AND ROUTES FROM SELECTED OREGON CITIES TO LINCOLN COUNTY City Portland Salem Albany Corvallis Eugene -Springfield Population Highway Route No .

It is one of the principal tourist arteries and attractions in the west. There are 22 parks, monuments, beaches, and waysides in Lincoln County. Airports are located near Newport, Toledo, and Wecoma Beach. The Newport field has 5, 000 -foot runways and some navigation equipment. The other two fields are suitable for light aircraft only. BOATING AND FISHING RESOURCES Lincoln County has much to offer the fisherman, but at present very little to encourage the boat owner who is interested in cruising, sightseeing, or other boating pleasures. The principal attraction for the fisherman-boater is, or course, the chance for success in catching fish, while the principal desires of the cruising and sightseeing boater are a chain of sheltered harbors which will provide: 1. Interesting destinations 2. Safety from storms 3. Overnight camping and picnicking facilities 4. Sunny mild weather 14 Ocean Fishing. Ocean fishing is greatly influenced by the presence of plankton and other nutrients which have their greatest concentration in the colder and deeper currents. When the surface flow is forced in- shore by obstructions, the deeper current upwells, as in a vertical eddy, and brings to the surface the richer stores of fish food. There are three such upwellings off the Oregon coast; one at the Rogue River mouth, a second at Coos Bay, and a third extending southwesterly off the Lincoln County coast for about 40 miles from Newport. Ocean fishing from small boats is possible at Newport and Depoe Bay where entrances provide sufficient draft and protection from breakers Boaters have used Alsea Bay and Siletz Bay entrances; however, this is considered extremely dangerous because of shoaling, sudden squalls, and rough seas. Depoe Bay, a natural harbor protected by rocky head- lands on both sides, has the best access to the ocean of any on the coast. A boater may launch from this location and be at the ocean fishing grounds in a few minutes. Likewise, he can find ready shelter when storm conditions threaten. River and Bay Fishing. River and bay fishing from small boats is possible on the Alsea, Yaquina, and Siletz Rivers, but not on Depoe Bay because of its limited area. The Alsea and Siletz Rivers are noted steelhead and salmon streams. All Oregon coastal rivers are closed to commercial fishing. Water Skiing and Other Boating Sports. Because of cool winds, relatively low water temperatures, and lack of facilities, water skiing has not been popular in Lincoln County. In the lower bays, the frequent cold winds from the ocean are discouraging. Where the temperatures are more pleasant in the upper sections of the rivers, the waterways are narrow and there are no swimming beaches or floats from which water skiiers could be launched. INVENTORY OF FACILITIES FOR BOATING AND FISHING There are now some 44 establishments directly supporting the boating and fishing industry in Lincoln County. Seventeen, or 39 percent, are on Yaquina Bay and River, and the remainder are almost equally distributed on Depoe Bay, Alsea Bay and River, and Siletz Bay and River. 15 The most modern and fully developed marina in the County provides the following listed accomodations: Launching ramp Boat hoist Fueling station Wet slips Dry storage, covered Boat and motor sales Boat and motor repair Fresh water Electric power Bait and tackle shop Parking Trailer park Rest rooms 1 lane 6-ton 100 boats 30 boats plus 2 outlets 50 outlets 1 50 cars 8 acres (under construction) 2 Customer demand is increasing and further expansion is planned by the owne rs . Most existing establishments provide fueling, wet slips, water, electric power, bait and tackle, and rest rooms. The minimum facility provides only a launch ramp and a minimum automobile parking area. Most small boat facilities in the County are neither as complete nor as well maintained as the example cited in the previous paragraph. For these and other reasons, their return from income is marginal at best. Table 4 gives a listing of the existing small boat facilities in Lincol"n~Co~un~ty, broken down by general location and river miles, and showing the accommodations available at each moorage. There are 37 installations providing boat slips of all sizes in the County. The average facility has 41 slips. Some of these slips provide no more than space abreast of several small boats. Other slips are complete with finger piers plus water and individual electric service for each slip. The only yacht or boat club in the county is the Yaquina Boat Club of Toledo. This club has some 14 members but no club house or marina facilities. 16 TABLE 4 EXISTING SMALL BOAT FACILITIES LINCOLN COUNTY 1 OF 2 MOORAGE NAME UJ z O m z i— q: o — CO z O.

Whenever the weather and sea are favorable the sports fishermen will cross the bar to fish the banks offshore The ' bay entrances suitable for this purpose are limited to those at Depoe Bay and Newport. ' Depoe Bay. During the season from 15 June to 30 September 1963 fishing boats made 8, 972 bar crossings at Depoe Bay. The anglers were' ^ U o q t y bGtWeen PriVatG P leasure ^-ft and charter boats with 19 200 persons and 19, 700 persons of each type, respectively. nf n I f lV l th ° USand SlX hundred fish were caught which, at an average £' 1 i P6r anglCr ' lS COnsidered to be g^d success. Comparison with the longer Yaquina Bay record shows 1963 to be a good, though not an outstanding year. 19 Yaquina Bay. The record of 14,259 bar crossings for Yaquina Bay i n 1963 is ove r one and one -half times that at Depoe Bay; however, only 30, 346 fish were caught by the 41, 798 anglers setting out from Yaquina Bay for an average of 0. 72 fish per angler. River- Sport Fishing. River sports fishing produced some 30 879 fish in 1961. The distribution, as shown in Table 6, indicates that the Yaquina River produced almost half of the total catch. Tins does no indicate that the fishing resources of the .Yaquina are ■uparior. Ratar. it does indicate that most of the boating fishermen prefer tc Maunc a port where they have a chance of access to ocean fishing. They will fish the river if prevented from crossing the bar.

The 1962 catch in this area wa ,7.093 ,000 ^rt^^^^ catch is landed at Depoe Bay. See Plate 1-3 of Appendix I. rr „,,,T .- DEMAND FOR NEW BO ATING AND FISHING FACILITIES (1965-1975) There are two major reasons why ^"^f >° a <7 9 ^ ^ Tr t be required in Lincoln County during the period 1965 to 975 Fir.t. there will be a general increase in population, u. the ratio of boat 20 owners to population, and in recreational demands of the boat-owner segment of the population. The second circumstance requiring additional boating facilities in Lincoln County is that many of the existing facilities are now obsolete or poorly located and will reach the end of their useful life through normal deterioration prior to 1975. Estimates show that a total of 1,399 moorage spaces for small boats will be required in 1975. Although there are now approximately 1.480 mooring spaces existing in the County, the demand for spaces in favored moorages is actually so great that waiting periods of four to six months before receiving assignment are fairly common. On the basis that the number of boat owners using Lincoln County moorages will increase from 907 in 1965 to 1, 399 in 1975, and that up to one-half of the existing older facilities will become obsolete or fully depreciated during that time, the total number of new spaces required will be 413. ^ It is quite probable that the demand for additional spaces at Depoe Bay would not be satisfied if all the new spaces were to be placed there- however, waterfront land there is extremely limited by surrounding hills and new construction is correspondingly expensive. It would therefore be best for the County if new construction were to be distributed so as to benefit other areas where expansion is possible. SELECTION OF SITES FOR NEW FACILITIES Complete boating facilities are now provided only at Depoe Bay New or expanded facilities may be located in the general areas listed below. These sites have been selected and rated in relative order of priority in consideration of the criteria mentioned previously. Alsea Bay, Waldport. Although Alsea Bay is in many respects similar to Yaquina Bay, it has neither a deep channel nor a protective jetty and, therefore, access to the ocean is now unavailable. This in unfortunate because Alsea Bay entrance is 8 to 10 miles closer to the prime fishing grounds than is Newport, and river fishing here is superior. tt c J h ? SUe SGleCted is ° n State Highway 34 near the intersection with U. S. Highway 101. It is visible from the bridge across Alsea Bay and provides a beautiful setting for a marina against a dark backdrop of 21 timbered hills. The Port of Alsea owns most of the property which Wo be required for development. The town of Waldport with Us restaurants and shopping facilities is also adjacent and would support and be supported by the proposed marina. The Port's small boat facUities (approximately 50 slips) and floats lere swept away in the tsunami of 27 March 1964. Prior to this loss almost one-fourth of Lincoln County's small boat moorages were located on the Alsea Bay and River. Yaquina Bay, Newport. This site is only one and one -half miles from therivermouthandis well sheltered from wave action and surge. The Yaquina Bay entrance channel is protected and stabilized by rock luies and will accommodate not only small craft but ocean vessels of up to 30 feet in draft. The site selected is on property owned by the Port of Newport and has ample land and water area for future develop- ment and expansion. The site is adjacent to and easily visible from Ae bridge which carries U.S. Highway 101 across Yaquina Bay. This Is in an area where demand for launching and mooring facilities can not be met by existing facilities. Yaquina River, Toledo. Toledo, being 11 miles up the Yaquina Riveras strictly a river moorage situation. It does provide a fine protected winter anchorage and would possibly be used by local residents and fishermen from Newport during the of season. It » no particularly suitable as a base for recreational boating, and, being oil the main highway, it does not constitute an attraction for tourists. The teTo ment of a' par. and campground facility here wouU make this an attractive alternate at times when summer fogs plagu e the lower river and bay. Boat owners mooring at Yaquina Bay could be a « r "ted by agreeable destination for river cruising, some picnic grounds and ov rnight mooring facilities . Howeve r, unless such *<™£f™™ program is developed, the future demand for marina facilities Toledo will not be great. Depoe Bay. A natural harbor offering excellent protection from wind a^eoTgefit is immediately adjacent to the ocean fishing grounds, ^e entrance can be negotiated by small boats at any stage of ^de and during all wind and sea conditions considered safe for small craft for expansion is extremely limited. 22 Siletz Bay, Taft. Siletz Bay, like Alsea Bay, has proximity but no access to the ocean. Anglers here must be content with bay and river fishing. The location selected here is adjacent to U. S. Highway 101 and the City of Taft, Oregon. It is visible from cars passing along the high- way and would be a fine tourist attraction. Property to be developed is owned by the Port of Newport. There is ample room for construction and future expansion. PRELIMINARY SITE PLANS Alsea Bay, Waldport. The preliminary site plan for Alsea Bay as shown on Figure 1~1 ? provides a small but complete marina in a location immediately adjacent to the town of Waldport and close to the best avail- able fishing near the mouth of the bay. It provides 104 wet-slip moorages to replace the 50 spaces lost during the tsunami surge of 27 March 1964 and an additional six launching ramp lanes. Excavation and landfill will' provide parking space for 100 cars and 144 cars with trailers and areas for administration and support facilities , such as bait and tackle shops fuel stations, rest rooms, and attendant's office, and should be a part ' of the initial construction. The estimated cost of construction is $350, 000. Yaq u i na Bay, Newport. Figure 1-2 shows a possible solution to the demand for small boat facilities in the Newport area during the period 1965 to 1975. The location is on land owned by the Port of New- port and particularly suited for dredging and landfill construction It is also situated so as to be visible from U S. Highways 20 and 101 and will be a potent tourist attraction. The proposed design would provide a basin with piers and floats for 476 wet-slip mooring berths and an equal number of automobile parking spaces on the adjacent filled area Fourteen launch ramps would be provided together with 336 car-with- trailer parking spaces to accommodate the very heavy demands during salmon runs. Rest rooms, harbormaster's office and administration, water supply, and electric power would be provided by the owner. Food service, fuel, charter service, boat and motor repair and bait, tackle and supply sales could be provided by concessionaires on leased areas.' The estimated cost of the basic improvements by the owner is $1,220,000. 23 Yaq uina River, Toledo. Figure 1-3 shows a minimum type facility for this area where interest among local people is high, but use, experience, and data is meager. There is no lack of quiet water for moorages and construction in the location shown. Two launch ramps with back-up space for parking 150 cars with trailers, piers and floats to provide 54 wet-slip berths, and associated parking for some 130 cars should complete the basic operating facilities. Rest rooms and attendants office and water to the floats would be provided by the owner. Food service and fuel may be obtained on a concession basis. The estimated cos t of construction by the owner is $48,000. Depoe Bay. Although the demand is higher than at any other location studied" this area cannot physically accommodate more than a 15 percent increase in small boats . Figure ^-4 shows a possible solution to this problem which provides four new launching ramps with parking for 90 cars and trailers, and piers and floats for 38 new wet- slip berths with associated parking for 81 cars. All other services of a complete marina are available. The estimated cost of providing the facilities shown is $250, 000. Siletz Bay. A possible installation for Siletz Bay is shown on Figure 1-5. It is located adjacent to Taft, Oregon, with its support in IhffoTnTof stores, shops, and res taurants , and within close view o the new Salishan resort. It is also visible and within a short distance of U S Highway 101. Facilities to be provided by the owner in addition to breakwater would include: Two launch ramps with associated parking for 53 cars with trailers, and piers and floats providing 100 wet-slip berths with parking space for 150 cars associated. The estimated cost is $400, 000. ESTIMATED OPERATING REVENUE AND E XPENSES_ Table 7, which follows , indicates that revenues from launching fees boaT"re-ntals, and concessions will approximate $76, 000 annually for the 5 facilities in Lincoln County. Expense is estimated to be $51,000 annually, which would leave a profit of $25,000 which could be reinvested in new facilities. 24 SALES AND SUPPLIES CAR PARKING CAR AND TRAILER PARKING FIGURE 1-1 AREA REDEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION SMALL BOAT HARBORS AND RELATED MARINE FACILITIES STUDY ALSEA BAY - WALDPORT LEGEND FIGURE 1-2 AREA REDEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION SMALL BOAT HARBORS AND RELATED MARINE FACILITIES STUDY YAQUINA BAY - NEWPORT SALES AND SUPPLIES t'ff^V.-v) CAR PARKING [~ ~] CAR AND TRAILER PARKING LEGEND SALES AND SUPPLIES CAR PARKING CAR AND TRAILER PARKING FIGURE 1-3 AREA REDEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION SMALL BOAT HARBORS AND RELATED MARINE FACILITIES STUDY YAQUINA RIVER-TOLEDO LEGEND SALES AND SUPPLIES CAR PARKING CAR AND TRAILER PARKING FIGURE 1-4 AREA REDEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION SMALL BOAT HARBORS AND RELATED MARINE FACILITIES STUDY DEPOE BAY ^^ LEGEND SALES AND SUPPLIES CAR PARKING CAR AND TRAILER PARKING FIGURE 1-5 AREA REDEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION SMALL BOAT HAR BORS AND RELATED MARINE FACILITIES STUDY SILETZ BAY -TAFT TABLE 7 ESTIMATED 1975 REVENUES AND EXPENSES FROM NEW MARINA FACILITIES STUDY AREA 1 LINCOLN COUNTY No. New Launch Charter Revenue Slips Ramps Service Facility" Charter Expense AlseaBay ' 104 6 No $ 7,384 ---- $ 6 ' 864 Waldport 10 4 b Yaquina Bay, ^ $20) 944 31,416 Newport ^'° Yaquina River, 3,564 Toledo 54 2 No 3,834 ....

As an offset against this cost may be placed the disbursements from State boat registration fees to the counties and from unrefunded gasoline tax collections. These could amount to $19,000 and $22,200 in 30 1963 and total $60, 000 in 1975. The balance, $35, 000, must be offset by indirect benefits. Other surveys have shown that the average "trailer, sailor" spends $9.00 per day for boating. On the basis of 1, 160 launch- ings per week over a 20-week season, income to the community would be $210, 000 per year. Other indirect benefits will come to the area from employment in construction, operation, and maintenance of the new facilities. An ap- proximate estimate of these benefits is given below: Construction employment - 25, 000 man-days Operation and maintenance - 1, 640 man-days/year The intangibles are benefits from increased vacationer and tourist traffic and the stimulation of the small boat industry on a much wider than county basis. CONCLUSIONS It is feasible to construct new and expanded facilities for recrea- tional boating in Lincoln County at the following locations, which are listed in relative order of priority. Yaquina Bay Newport Marina Alsea Bay Waldport Marina Depoe Bay (Launching Facilities) Siletz Bay Marina Depoe Bay Wet-slip berths Toledo Marina The approximate scope of facilities to be included at each site is as listed in Table 7 and sketched on Figures 1-1 to 1-5, inclusive. 31 CHAPTER III STUDY AREA 2 - CLATSOP AND COLUMBIA COUNTIES LOCATION Clatsop and Columbia Counties form the northwest corner of the State of Oregon, and have a combined area of 1,466 square miles, of which over 90 percent is forested, Columbia County is bordered on the east and north by the Columbia River and on the west by Clatsop County. Clatsop County is bordered on the north by the Columbia River and its estuary and on the west by the Pacific Ocean, U.S. Transcontinental Highway 30 parallels the Columbia River in both counties and terminates in Astoria. U.S. Highway 101 parallels the Pacific shore in Clatsop County, and U.S. Highway 26 joins 101 north of Cannon Beach and terminates in Astoria. Portland is 39 miles from the Clatsop County border by U.S. Highway 26 and 20 miles from Columbia County border by U.S. Highway 30. See Plate 1-1 of Appendix I. BOATING AND FISHING RESOUR CES^ Astoria's commercial fishing fleet is the largest in the State and its boats range from Cape Blanco on the south to Queen Charlotte Sound on the north. The Columbia River is afamous salmon fishing stream, which up to the present at least, is the only coastal stream open for commercial fishing. Cruising on the Columbia River is a popular recreation for the pleasure-boat owners, but offshore cruising is limited because of the lack of sheltered harbors between the mouth of the 32 Columbia and Tillamook Bay, some 40 miles to the south. The Columbia River estuary is wide and fairly open to the prevailing northwest winds which build up quite a chop on summer afternoons. This limits pleasure cruising in the Astoria area. Seaside and other beach resort towns on the Pacific could headquarter fishing areas offshore, but have no harbors from which small boats can reach the sea and return safely. The Columbia River offers salmon, steelhead, and s turgeon fishing. INVENTORY OF FA CILITIES FOR BOATING AND FISHING There are 18 moorages in Study Area 2 that provide 2, 028 wet-slip berths and 12 launching ramps. Table 8 lists the facilities available at each site. Approximately 30 percent are in the Scappoose area, 27 per- cent in the Warrenton area, 17 percent in both Astoria and St. Helens areas, and7percent in the Rainier area. Most of the installations have a launching ramp, fuel, water, electricity, bait and tackle, auto and trailer parking, rest rooms and boat rentals. Less than half have a boat hoist, dry storage for boats, boat sales and repair, fish processing, restaurant, or charter service. Several of the islands in the river provide undeveloped camping areas. Among them are: Tenasillahe Island, Puget Island, Lord Island, Cottonwood Island, Sandy Island, and St. Helens sand bar. USE DATA Boat registrations in Clatsop and Columbia Counties were obtained from the Oregon State Marine Board and from the U.S. Customs Service. These two counties rank 14th and 12th in the state in the number of boats under 21 feet in length, but third and second in the number of boats 21 feet and over in length. The total of boats in the two counties is 2, 446 under 21 feet and 475 which are 21 feet and over. Clatsop County has approximately 461 commercial fish boats and Columbia has 118 for a total of 579 registered commercial fishing boats. This is 39 percent of all the commercial fishing vessels registered in the state As to the category of use, the Oregon State Marine Board regis- trations give the breakdown shown in Table 9. 33 TABLE 8 EXISTING SMALL BOAT FACILITIES CLATSOP & COLUMBIA COUNTIES MOORAGE NAME 1 SEASIDE 2 HAMMOND WARRENTON 1 WARRENTON BOAT BASIN 2 *ARRENTON BOAT YARD 3 E .* .

The anglers trips and catch at the mouth of the Columbia River are summarized in Table 10. Both Washington and Oregon based anglers are included in these figures. It may be noted that the average annual catch for those years was 93, 100 fish taken on some 84, 900 angler trips. River fishing accounted for an annual average of some 14, 920 fish during the five-year period from 1955 to 1959, inclusive. Commercial Fishing. In the five-year period from 1958 to 1962, the poundages of fish landed at Astoria averaged over 5, 000, 000 pounds per year with a high of 6. 8 million pounds in 1959 and a low of 2. million pounds in 1961. PROBABLE DEMAND FOR NEW BOATING AND FISHING FACILITIES (1965 to 1975) The future of commercial fishing in Clatsop and Columbia Counties is not bright, The Oregon State Fish Commission does not expect any major changes in availability or catch of salmon offshore in the next decade. A referendum to close the Columbia River to commercial fishing was defeated by the voters of Oregon in the November 1964, election. Since crabs and salmon are now fully utilized, the only hope for increased production in the fishing fleet is that a market will be developed for under-utilized species, A recent article in the "Marine Digest," published in Seattle, Washington, indicates that some progress is being made along this line. 35 To tal Fish 65, zoo 73, 900 72, 300 106, 000 148, ,000 Catc h per Angler Trip 0. 99 0. 99 0. 93 1. 18 1. 28 Growth projections for pleasure boating in Clatsop and Columbia Counties indicate that 2, 487 boats will be hauled in and 1, 590 boats will be moored in the area in 1975. This represents 1.46 and 1.42 increases over 1964 figures.

The community of Seaside now has no access to the ocean^JTVery minimum of boating activity. The Necanicum River is not suitable for water skiing because of inadequate surface area, and several bridges limit access to the upper river. In order to provide boating here, a deep channel through the breakers or a jetty must be provided to stabilize an entrance channel and to permit safe passage. The large summer population (10,000) represents an average potential of 435 boat owners. Since Seaside is a resort and vacation town, the percentages of boat owners would probably, be higher than the State average. The construction of a marina would draw additional boaters as vacationers in the area. It would also provide an interesting and safe port for pleasure cruise sightseers who could come down the Columbia and safely into Seaside within the range of protection of the small craft warning service. Some crab fishermen might transfer from Astoria. 36 Warrenton. Warrenton now has a busy marina which is popular with the sport fisherman who moor their boats. It is some four miles nearer to the mouth than Astoria. The shortcomings of this facility are: lack of a launching ramp; lack of auto and trailer parking and support facilities, such as boat and motor repair, fuel facilities, etc. ; restaurant or clubhouse. Boat hoists, fuel, and repair facilities are available in privately owned installations just across the channel. A sand launch ramp which is very popular is available at the Coast Guard Station at Hammond, which is three and one -half miles away, andalso that much closer to the prime fishing ground at the mouth, As toria. Astoria now has moorings for 356 boats, but no complete marina. Two moorings are now available, The Fisherman's Dock with some 270 slips is loaded to capacity, but will soon require major repairs, Parts of piers have now deteriorated to the point where they are unsafe for even pedestrian traffic, Although the moorage provides quiet water, this is not a popular mooring for small pleasure craft because of the wind and sea conditions outside, Frequent rain and fog occur during the winter, and in summer almost every afternoon brings a strong northwest breeze. The Astoria Mooring Basin is larger and in new condition, but suffers from the deficiency of inadequate wave protection, The combination of an ebb tide and strong river currents produces an agitation in the basin which leads to damage of small craft and the floats which lie alongside. As a consequence, and also because of the added distance from the river mouth, the Astoria Mooring Basin is relatively unused. Rainier, Rainier is not a complete tacility, but very popular in its limited way, It has space for some 30 small boats at the floats and a very nice swimming beach. Boaters from up the river and from neighboring Longview, Washington, like to picnic on the nearby sand islands, fish in the channel, and visit Rainier as an interesting port of call. The addition of facilities here, such as boat and motor sales and repair, bait and tackle shops, and a restaurant would complete the marina and make it more attractive to the boater, ^° Helens ° St, Helens is only 20 miles from Portland and near several of the best fishing areas in the Columbia above the mouth. The existing facilities include three moorings with 352 boat slips all under private ownership, Except for the lack of restaurant facilities, the group at the town site may be considered as a complete marina. The demand for additional space and facilities here will probably continue to grow at a faster rate than at any other place in the County, The Scappoose area, which is five or six miles closer to Portland, with some 638 slips 37 already has almost one-third of the two county moorings. This fact indicates the advantage of a favorable location in relation to a metro- politan area. PRELIMINARY SITE PLANS Preliminary site plans for Area 2 are shown on Figures 2-1 and 2-5, inclusive. The plan for Seaside envisages a complete new har- boT'and marina. The other four plans provide extensions and addi- tions to existing facilities. Pertinent details concerning the design of each site plan are given in the paragraphs which follow: Seaside. The problem here is to provide a harbor entrance in water deep enough to prevent most storm waves from breaking. The solution shown on Figure 2-1 utilizes two breakwaters extending out from the shores of a natural cove to deep water, and enclosing a har- bor water area of some 77 acres. Although the construction of these breakwaters is estimated to cost some $3. 9 million dollars, their com- bined length and cost is about the minimum which will provide the neces- sary protection, and the water area enclosed is a relative maximum. Ample room is provided for a 16-lane launching ramp and 130 wet-slip berths as an initial increment. Room is available for several times the original number of berths. The estimated cost of this initial construc- tion is $5, 520,000. Development of the site tentatively selected for the Seaside marina will require further investigation before a firm plan can be prepared. Among the items to be investigated are the nature and extent of subsur- face and underwater soils and rock formations. The proximity of large rock shore outcroppings in the vicinity indicates a probability of encoun- tering rock in dredging operations here. The elevation selected for the top of the breakwater will also have an important effect on construction costs The minimum elevation of 15 feet above mean lower low water as shown on Figure 2-1 will depend on realization of considerable protection from the sea by Tillamook Head. Further investigation of sea and swell conditions in the cove may show the necessity for^ an additional increment of height of five to eight feet or more. Realignment of the north break- water has been considered for the purpose of reducing foundation depths and total height of the structure. Such reduction would also have an im- portant effect on costs and would tend to offset the expense of additional height for wave protection, if required. Warrpnton. The City-owned small boat basin needs only the addi- tion of launching ramps and car and trailer parking areas to make it a complete marina. The installation of 13 launching ramp lanes with some 320 car and trailer parking spaces will fulfill the demand expected m the 38 1965-75 period. An additional 92 wet- slip berths, together with parking space for 418 cars, will be required as is shown on Figure 2-2. The estimated cost of improvements is $240, 000. Astoria. In view of the steady decline of the fishing fleet and the number of berthing spaces which are available and unused in existing small boat basins, the problem here is one of consolidation rather than expansion. Figure 2-3 shows how such consolidation could accommodate the existing fishing fleet in the Astoria Mooring Basin and provide some space for growth in use by recreational boaters. Four hundred ninety-five wet-slip berths can be provided under this arrangement. Land areas at this moorage are in short supply, and it is contemplated that some of the private land which borders the existing marina will have to be taken to provide necessary administration and parking areas. Spaces for parking 39 274 cars and 24 cars with trailers are shown, A location is also shown for a restaurant, office, and rest rooms, and supply and service facilities. The estimated cost of outfitting the existing basin for the use contemplated is $500,000. The Fishermen' s Dock could likewise be developed, but both arejnot now required. Rainier. The schematic plan shown on Figure 2-4 shows how the existirig~facTTity may be expanded to accommodate two and two-thirds times the present capacity for wet- slip berths (80 slips). The existing single lane launching ramp would be expanded to three lanes with car and trailer parking for 74. Car parking space for 76 cars, as shown, will probably require augmentation in adjacent land areas once operation begins. A fuel and bait facility, a harbor office, and marina sales and supplies shops would make the service complete and attractive. The estimated cost of owner-furnished facilities is $110,000, St. Helens. A 27-acre site on Scappoose Bay, owned by the Port of St. Helens, is now operated under lease as the Pacific Marina. Of all the sites studied, this location is the closest to the Portland metropolitan area and its thousands of recreation boaters. The 10 additional launching ramp lanes and 200 wet slip berths needed in the area during the 1965 to 1975 period can be accommodated here with ease, Land area is ample and easily developed for the associated parking of 240 cars with trailers and 368 cars, A harbor office, food service and water to the slips would make this a complete marina. Figure 2-5 shows a possible layout to accommodate the expanded facilities. The estimated cost of construction is $358, 000, ES ™iAJ^ED_CM J E^^ Table 11, which follows, shows the estimated operating revenue and expense "items for the new facilities proposed in Clatsop and Columbia Counties. These estimates are based on recent experience of somewhat larger marinas operating on the Oregon Coast, which, from the stand- point of income, are believed to be conservative. It may be noted that the average revenue compiled for the area is $77,000/997 or approx- imately $77. 00 per slip per year. As is estimated in a recent study, berthin] alone in first class public marinas in Michigan is expected to produce some $175 per slip per year, and other incidental revenues of a complete marina will produce an additional $725 per slip per year. The total expected revenue for the Michigan area is $900 per slip per year, or almost 13 times the revenue estimated for this Oregon area.

Visitors coming by water from other ports may be expected to spend as much as $200 per port of call„ With some 250 visitors per week over a 20-week season, the income to the community would be $1, 000, 000, CONCLUSIONS Additional small boat harbors and related marine facilities will be needed in Clatsop and Columbia Counties to meet increased recreational needs during the period 1965-1970, It is feasible to construct new facil- ities for recreational boating at Warrenton, Rainier, and St. Helens, and to a very limited extent at Astoria,, Seaside, where the need is greatest, also has the problem of. creating a complete new harbor with protective breakwater. Because of the relative expense, it is believed that the Sea- side location should be studied separatelv, and a priority for construction is tentative at" this' time. The problem at Astoria is to consolidate rather than to expand existing facilities. The recommended priority for construction in the general area of Clatsop and Columbia Counties is: 1. Warrenton 2. Astoria 3. Seaside 4. St. Helens 5. Rainier 47 CHAPTER IV STUDY AREA 3 - HOOD RIVER, WASCO, AND SHERMAN COUNTIES LOCATION These three counties, located where the gorge of the Columbia River breaks through the Cascade Mountain Range of Oregon and Washington, had practically no waters navigable for small boats until the great power dams of the Columbia River System backed up vast pools. Now, from Bonneville to The Dalles and from The Dalles to John Day is relatively quiet water, and boating is an increasing recreation activity. The westerly border of Hood River County is some 38 miles east of Portland, and Hood River, Wasco, and Sherman Counties extend some 79 miles along the Columbia River. The east boundary of Sherman County is 117 miles east of Portland- The south boundary of Wasco County is between 50 and 60 miles south of the Columbia River. See Plate 1-1 of Appendix I. The major stream tributaries to the Columbia are Hood River, Deschutes River, and John Day River. None of these streams are navigable except for very short stretches. Lost Lake in west central Hood River County and Frog and Clear Lakes in southwestern Wasco County are the only lakes of any size in the area, Interstate Route 8 on U.S. Highway 30 follows the Columbia and provides communication with Portland to the west and Pendleton to the east., U.S. Highway 97 runs north through Sherman County meeting Interstate 80N at Biggs. U.S. Highway 197 runs north through Wasco County meeting Interstate 80N at a point three miles east of The Dalles. State Highway 35, the easterly part of the scenic Mt. Hood Loop, runs north through Hood River County, meeting Interstate 80N at Hood River. There are small airfields at Hood River and The Dalles. There are seven state parks on the highway between Bonneville and The Dalles, one with camping facilities at Viento. There are no State parks east of The Dalles or in Sherman County, POPULATION Population figures shown in Table 12 are taken from an official report of the Oregon State Board of Census. 48 TABLE 12 STUDY AREA 3 - POPULATION - COUNTIES AND CITIES, 1963 Counties Hood River County Wasco County- Sherman County Oregon Cities Population 13, 739 22, 517 3, 376 1, 856, 190 Percentage Change I960 to 1963 + 2.6% + 11.4% +38. 0% + 4. 9% (1. 02% per year) Cascade Locks Hood River Wasco The Dalles Dufer Maupin 660 3, 761 430 10, 834 525 405 0. 0% + 2.8% + 2 3. 6% + 3. 2% + 7. 6% + 6. 3% The construction work on the John Day Dam near the eastern boundary has attracted a rather large number of people to Sherman County. These cannot be considered as permanent residents of the County, so the growth rate is not actually as large as the figures would indicate . BOATING AND FISHING RESOURCES Except for the lakes previously noted, the Columbia River is the only boating and boat-fishing resource of the three-county area. The principal features of the area are listed as they may be observed by a boater in traveling the 62 miles up the Columbia River from west to east and are shown in Table 13. 49 TABLE 13 BOATING INTEREST River Miles 126 Bonneville Dam and Locks - west boundary Hood River County 12 9 Cascade Locks - launching ramp, shelter for boats, automobile parking 133 Mouth of Wind River - salmon and steelhead 141 Drano Lake - salmon and steelhead !48 Hood River, Yacht Basin, launching, fuel, mooring, auto and trailer parking 155 Mouth of Klickitat River - salmon and sturgeon 165 Sturgeon fishing near The Dalles 1^6 The Dalles Boat Basin, launching ramp, mooring, fuel 174 Celilo Park, public launching ramp, picnic, auto and trailer parking 177 Mouth of Deschutes River, gravel boat launching ramp, parking area 188 John Day Dam site (under construction) 190 John Day River mouth - east boundary Sherman County IN VENTORY OF FACILITIES FOR B OATING AN DJFISHING In the 64 nautical miles of the Columbia River which forms the north boundary of the Group III counties, there are 6 installations which provide a service for small boats Only two of these installations offer wet-slip moorage; these are the boat basins at Hood River and The Dalles All six installations provide launching ramps and auto- mobile and trailer parking and five of the six have public rest rooms. Fuel is available only at Hood River and The Dalles. Table 14 shows the facilities available to boat owners at each location. USE DATA There is actually very little factual data available concerning the boat fishery in this section of the Columbia River Estimates by the State Game Commission, as shown in Table, 15, indicate that the catch of salmon and steelhead during the period 1955 to 1959, inclusive, has varied from a total of 920 fish in 1957 to a total of 2, 600 fish in 1959. 50 — a CJ «C OO UJ CD —i ca as CD «s CJ ss 00 OO OC 3e CD 2= . — ce 1— UJ OO > — — X cc S1V1N38 , ■ : , ^ U31UVH3 1 ! 1 ' I 1 INVUn V1S3U i 1 i 1 1 1 •SMc) 1S38 x x x x x 1 in DN 1 »8Vd X X X X X X CD SS3308d HS 1 i 1 1 31H3V1 • 1 I V a II'!! 1 3 1813313 X 1 .

On the basis of a state-wide survey of small boat owners, it is estimated that there will be 721 boat owners in the area in 1965 and that this number will increase to 1 054 by the year 1975. Almost three-quarters (767) of these boats will 'be hauled by trailer to launching sites. The remainder (287 boats) will be moored during the boating season. SELECTION OF SITES F OR NEW FACILITIES Two of the existing small boat facilities in this three county area have room for future expansion. If the entire anticipated increase in boats owned for the period 1965 to 1975 is distributed among the sites mentioned, the planning figures may be as shown in Table 16. 52 TABLE 16 PRESENT AND ESTIMATED FACILITIES 1963 Increase 1975 WS* r" WS 33 R WS R Cascade Locks 1 33 1 Hood River 91 1 113 9 204 i The Dalles 85 1 38 6 123 7 Mouth of Deschu tes 1 50 50 1 Total 176 234 15 411 19 WS - Wet slips R - Ramps Cascade Locks. This municipally owned facility is a pleasant and attractive park located on former U.S. Government locks property. Unfortunately, it is not visible from main highway (U.S. 30). There is no development here now except for a launching ramp and picnic areas. In order to provide the complete service which will attract boaters, the following facilities should be installed 1. Wet-slip mooring floats, piers 2. Fueling facility 3. Harbormaster Office 4. Food service 5. Water Hood River. The existing municipally owned boat facility has an excellent location that is visible from U. S, 30 and has good access and accessibility to downtown shops and restaurants. Facilities are now fairly complete, but need dry storage, sales, tackle shops, coffee shop to operate complete service, and attractive picnic areas. There is plenty of room for expansion at minimum cost. The Dalles. The present boat basin, owned by the Port of The Dalles, has adequate water areas and is well protected from river currents, waves, and wind. Access from Interstate Route 80N is good; however, access from the City of The Dalles is difficult. Also, on the debit side, the recent relocation of the highway has left the boat basin 53 with a parking area which is barely adequate for present operations and which has no capacity for expansion. The western half of the boat basin is completely cut off to access from the eastern half and from the City. The variation in the Bonneville Dam pool level from Elevation + 72 to approximately Elevation -90 makes creation of new land areas by filling an expensive undertaking .. A limited area of flood plain which could possibly be filled in this way lies to the east of the basin but is so situated that the distance from parking to piers would be excessive. Mouth of the Deschutes. This area is undeveloped except for a gravel"a^u7chir^amp which is not too well defined or maintained. Parking areas have not been improved, and there is no supporting community, Wasco, the closest city, has a population of 430 people, and is 14 miles distant, The surrounding hills are barren and the general impression is rather lonely and desolate. The Deschutes does, however, have a reputation as an excellent fishing stream- This rep- utation, together with the fact that there are no other more attractive harbors in Sherman County, will guarantee its use in the future, On the credit side, the site does have ample protected water area with access to the Columbia River, except at times of extreme high water when the railroad and highway bridges may interfere. The soil appears to be sand and gravel which is adaptable to dredging and filling for development, (Soil borings will be required to determine the presence and extent of rock in the area. » Apparently, there are no records of use for this harbor, Installation of a minimum facility here is suggested until usage data can be compiled. P R ELIMINARY SITE PL ANS Preliminary site plans for the Cascade Locks, Hood River, The Dalles, and Deschutes River mouth areas have been prepared and are included in this Chapter as Figures 3_J .to 3-4, inclusive. A brief discussion of each separate area follows: Cascade Locks. Cascade Locks major deficiency will be remedleTwith the construction of a new pier and floats providing 52 new wet- slip berths. An additional launching ramp, parking for 70 cars and 3 5 cars with trailers, as shown on Figure 3-1, will attract boaters from a wide area. Water should be provided on the floats by the port, and food service and fuel on a concession basis by local businesses. The natural park-like setting is excellent and a well constructed and maintained marina here should draw many customers from the Portland fleet. The estimated cost of the new facilities shown in $80,000. 54 Hood River. Hood River with its well developed fleet and small boat harbor is in aposition to accommodate the largest share of the expected increase in demand for facilities in the future. A new pier and floats providing 124 wet -slip berths for small craft, plus 10 additional launching ramp lanes, should meet the requirements for the period of the next ten years. In conjunction with the new berths and launching facilities, an additional parking space for 148 cars and 240 cars with trailers should be provided. Local business should be encouraged to provide food service on a concession basis. Figure 3-2 shows a suggested layout for the pro- posed improvements. The estimated cost of the new facilities shown is $210, 000, The Dalies The Dalles has a boating problem which, it is believed, can only be solved with a large expenditure of money. Although pro- tected water area is available for additional moorage in the basin, land area suitable for access and parking can be provided only by means of extensive filling operations Figure 3-3 shows a suggested means of utilizing such filled areas to support the six additional launching ramps and 77 new wet-slip berths which may be required in the period 1965-1975, Parking for some 100 cars and 144 cars with trailers is considered desirable, The estimated cost of the new facilities shownis estimated to be $640, 000. It is suggested that consideration be given to an alternate location for new boating facilities in The Dalles area, such as at the Mayer State Park in Rowena The location at Rowena is most attractive and has picnic grounds and rest rooms Soil conditions and topography here appear to be good and certainly are relatively superior. Mouth of the Deschutes. Deschutes River mouth, as shown on Fig ure 3— 4_' has been designed to provide a minimum facility until better usage data can be obtained. Construction here should be relatively simple and the pier and floats to provide 52 new wet-slip berths should present no problem Fifty car parking spaces and 25 spaces for car with trailer parking would complete the major work. Rest rooms > an attendant's office, and food service facility would make the harbor attractive to local residents and tourists as well. The rest rooms should be constructed by the owner and the food service may be by concession. The cost of these improvements, as shown, is estimated to be $90, 000 55 LEGEND SALES AND SUPPLIES CAR PARKING [;'•: ..] CAR AND TRAILER PARKING FIGURE 3-1 AREA REDEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION SMALL BOAT HARBORS AND RELATED MARINE FACILITIES STUDY CASCADE LOCKS 100 50 g SCALE III FEET 9 ¥/*- 7 c*s P^J P : m j \UJ ?

The ex- pectation is that operating and maintenance costs of the new facilities could be offset by income from rentals and concessions.

These could amount to $4, 500 and $5, 300, respectively, in 1963, Other indirec t benefits will come to the area from employment in cons truction. of the facilities and employment in connection with oper- ation and maintenance of the new facilities, A rough estimate is: Construction employment - man-days $880, 000 x 1/2 x 1/49 = 9, 000 man-days Operation and maintenance - man -days $880, 000 x . 03 x 1/45 = 594 man-days /year The intangibles are the benefits from increased vacationer and tourist traffic and stimulation of the small boat industry on a much wider than county basis. These, although practically impossible to measure, have a real value to the area, CONCLUSIONS It is feasible to construct new facilities for recreational boating in Hood River and Sherman Counties at the following locations: Cascade Locks, Hood River, and the mouth of the Deschutes River. The location of new facilities in Wasco County at the The Dalles is possible, but not in the same region of feasibility as at the other three locations. Alternate locations for The Dalles expansion should be studied. Priority for construction of small boat harbors and related marine facilities in Hood River, Wasco, and Sherman Counties should be assigned as follows : 1. Cascade Locks 2. Mouth of the Deschutes 3. Hood River 4.
