Boardman Public Library on Tuesday, March. 6 at 7 p.m.
The program is free and open to interested persons of all
ages.
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.

management plan documen
tation can be accessed via the
