Paleontologist Nate Murphy will be presenting in person at The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) that evening. His presentation at OMSI will be simultaneously broadcast to several libraries in eastern Oregon as part of O M Sl’s partnership with the nonprofit Libraries of Eastern Oregon (LEO). The program w ill be presented at Baker City, Boardman, La Grande, Hermiston and Prineville. In 2000, Murphy and his team excavated the find of lifetime - the mummified Brachylophosaurus known as L eonardo. The G u in n ess Book o f W orld R ecords recognizes Leonardo as the w o rld ’s best-preserved dinosaur. Over 80 percent of Leonardo’s body is covered with rarely fossilized soft tissue and skin. M urphy’s presentation, “Dinosaur Resurrection - The Leonardo Project: A Case Study in Dinosaur CSI” will include x-rays and other images. Murphy will discuss the im p licatio n s o f L eo n ard o to d in o sau r science worldwide. Murphy is a second-generation paleontologist with over 30 years working in the field of dinosaur paleontology. Murphy has been a consultant to many museums and the U.S. government and is veteran of dinosaur documentaries for The Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, PBS and the BBC. Viewers will be able to see and hear Murphy but due to large numbers of attendees it is likely that interaction with the rural audience will be limited to a question and answer period. Using the technology of video conference to rural eastern Oregon is efficient as it saves rural resident the time and expense of traveling to OMSI for the program. Seating at OM SI’s auditorium for M urphy’s presentation will be limited. The presentation is co-sponsored by LEO and Marylhurst University. For further information about the presentation, contact Oregon Trail Library District Director Marsha Richmond at 541-481-3365 or LEO director Lyn Craig at 541-763-2355. Information is also posted on the OMSI website at www.omsi.edu. EPA approves Willow Creek Basin water quality goals The U.S. Environ mental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved water quality goals for the Willow C reek Basin. The goals, which took several years to prepare, were approved Feb. 19. The accompanying plan lays out steps needed to re duce stream tem perature, b acteria and other w ater quality im pairm ents that would make these waters more fishable and swimma- ble. The re c en tly a p proved Willow Creek Basin Total Maximum Daily Load (TM DL) for tem perature sets goals leading to less so lar heating, while the man agement plan describes how these goals can be met. The stream m anagem ent plan addresses excess solar ener gy that enters streams be cause o f v eg etatio n and channel disturbance associ ated with certain agricultur al. urban and forest activi ties. The report also empha sizes the need for increased in-stream flow. A significant finding in the TMDL report is that three measures can contrib ute, though to d ifferin g am ounts, to cooler water te m p e ratu re in W illow Creek: the greatest benefit is from increased streamside v e g e ta tio n , p a rtic u la rly trees; next is to allow the stream to naturally restore itse lf to a n arro w er and d e ep e r n atu ral channel shape; and. lastly, flow im provement will lead to tem perature reduction. These m easures com bine to de crease solar input, or de crease the effect of solar heating by increasing the volum e o f w ater being warmed by the sun. W hereas tem p era ture is the most widespread water quality problem in the Basin, bacteria and pH (the concentration o f charged H y d ro g en ) are also a d dressed. The Balm Fork is targeted for bacteria reduc tion. Elevated summer pH originates in the warm up per-level waters of Willow Creek Reservoir. However, the US Army Corps of En gineers has installed a Res e rv o ir a eratio n system , which has largely eliminated the hydrogen imbalance. The TM DL report was developed by the Ore gon Department of Environ mental Quality (DEQ) with assistance from the commu nity and various natural re source organizations includ ing the M orrow Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD). DEQ is the issu ing authority, with the char ter for implementing water quality standards through TMDLs and other process es. DEQ commends the Morrow SWCD for their ef forts in this and other water shed projects and planning in the Basin. The SWCD has led collaborative watershed enhancement in the Basin for many years. They have fos tered and supported inter agency cooperation, local interest and community in volvement throughout the TMDL process. Joni Ham mond, DEQ's Eastern Re gion A d m in istra to r in Pendleton said, ‘The support of the SWCD has provided for substantial community input and coordination with other w atershed planning efforts in the Basin." T he m anagem ent plan will he cooperatively im plem ented through the Oregon Department of Ag riculture. the US Forest Ser vice. the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Oregon Department of Forestry in the land or water use areas of their jurisdiction. The next phase of the TMDL process is an 18-month interval in which detailed plans will he developed by these agencies to carryout the area-wide TMDL plan.
