Abstract
Kellogg Dam, located in the center of downtown Milwaukie, OR, was constructed in the 1850’s and predates statehood. The Kellogg Creek Restoration and Community Enhancement Project is a unique urban restoration and fish passage project with amazing opportunities for scientific research. The project will:
-
Provide fish passage to 15 miles of habitat by removing the barrier at Kellogg Dam and restoring the creek through Kellogg Lake.
-
Restore 14 acres of high-quality riparian habitat, functional wetlands, and reconnect the floodplain.
-
Provide 14 acres of new natural area for nature-based recreation and outdoor education
-
Increase flood storage capacity to reduce flooding in lower Kellogg Creek.
-
Modernize the existing Oregon State Highway 99E bridge with an alternative that increases seismic resiliency and establishes a safe bike/pedestrian undercrossing.
-
Provide interactive learning, scientific research, and real-world laboratory opportunities in the field of urban stream restoration.
-
Engage the community through cross-cultural communication tools and events.
Neil Schulman (Executive Director) and Amy van Riessen (Watershed Restoration Manager) with the North Clackamas Watersheds Council will discuss the project history, funding status, and construction timeline since receiving a $15 million grant this year from NOAA Fisheries. They will share current scientific studies being conducted at the project site, and discuss opportunities for future research partnerships to study the site before and after the dam has been removed and the impoundment has been restored.
