The Upper Deschutes Watershed Council (UDWC)
would like to acknowledge the ODEQ 319 Grant Program and the
Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board for providing funding in
support of the UDWC Water Quality Monitoring Program. This
program provides effectiveness monitoring for restoration
projects across the upper Deschutes and Little Deschutes
Subbasins. The Photo Monitoring for the Vandevert Ranch

Purpose
The purpose of the monitoring is to evaluate
the success of the proposed tree placement bank stabilization
efforts at approximately 13 sites at the Vandevert Ranch. The
expected output is the qualitative interpretation of vegetation
success via photo point technique. The expected outcome is to
provide Deschutes Soil and Water Conservation District and Vandevert
Ranch the information needed to track a Bank Stabilization Project
located 3 miles upstream Little Deschutes River confluence with the
Deschutes River.

Monitoring
Design
Monitoring was designed to capture pre and post
project information. Pre-implementation project monitoring was
conducted September 23, 2002. Implementation and
post-implementation project monitoring was conducted October 2002
and ended October 2006. Monitoring tasks, schedule, and status are
reported in Table 1. The photo points and their
corresponding latitude, longitude, and bearing are detailed
in Table 2. Monitoring is conducted according to standards
detailed in the UDWC WQ Monitoring Program Standard Operating
Procedures; Field (UDWC 2006). Photo points were collected under
the USDA Photo Point Monitoring Handbook protocols (USDA
2002).
