Save the Date: Evans Creek Slide Presentation & Tour
Patrick Hawe, Cascade Resource Area Hydrologist with the BLM, will be providing the North Santiam Watershed Council with an update on the Evans Creek Slide on Thursday October 10th at 7:00 pm. Presentation will take place during our regular monthly steering meeting held at the Stayton Community Center (400 West Virginia Street, Stayton, OR).
Presentation Discussion:
What is the current status of the Evan’s Creek landslide and BLM efforts to stabilize it? Sediment and water quality in the North Santiam basin and how this relates to the landslide on Evan’s Creek.

Site Tour:
A site tour will take place the following Saturday October 12th at 11am.
We will have an opportunity to hike from the blocked site on the Evan’s Road down to the top of the most active portion of the slide escarpment. We will be able to observe the slide in progress and ask questions, many of which cannot be answered! Requires sturdy boots and legs.
In addition, there will be an opportunity to stop and tour a portion of a harvest unit that is in the BLM Evan’s Mountain proposal (an environmental assessment and project proposal to thin second growth stands on portions of the Evans and Fawn Creek drainage on public land).
I hope you are able to join us on October 10th for the presentation and October 12th for the tour.
