Lewis River Interpretive & Education Plan Existing Interpretation and Visitor Information There are existing interpretive signs (fish identification, wetland ecology) at some of the sites, though design standards are not consistent among them. The US Forest Service administers a campfire program in the three largest campgrounds during the peak of tourist season. This program is subject to funding and the interpretation presented is determined by the speaker. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) requires as part of its negotiations with PacifiCorp that specific information be posted at each recreation site: • Project Name • Company Name • Statement that this project is licensed by the Commission • The FERC project # • Directions to/map of other project recreation sites • Time of park opening/closing and available activities • Use rules • Contact information for further recreation information • Statement of nondiscrimination PacifiCorp has also chosen to address the bull trout public education requirement of the Settlement Agreement in its new Interpretive and Education Program. Currently, interpretive signs exist at boat launch ramps to educate anglers about bull trout status, identification, and conservation. Operation and Staffing Camping sites are a first-come, first-serve bases, except at Cresap Bay and Cougar campgrounds. For visitors reserving a camp site, PacifiCorp has a call in reservation system. Each person or party receives a package of information in the mail prior to their visit. This package includes a map of the site, rules and regulations, and other information pertaining to PacifiCorp sites. These sites are also staffed at the entrances with someone checking reservations and at the campground with a campground host. The camp hosts are not PacifiCorp employees. All PacifiCorp Day-Use and Campgrounds have open and closed hours. Campgrounds are only open during the summer season and each one has slightly different days of operation. Day-Use sites are open year round. The “open” hours vary between the summer and winter season, opening later and closing early in the winter months. Hours are maintained on an honor basis. These sites are not staffed. Sea Reach Ltd • 146 NE yamhill Street • Sheridan, OR draft 3 • November 2008 • page 4
Lewis River Interpretive & Education Plan At all the sites, the interpretive program is intended to be a self-guided experience. The self-guided nature of the site, however, will not preclude guided tours, presentations, or “campfire” programs conducted by volunteers. Vandalism and Maintenance Irrespective of the setting, vandalism is a fact of life—any public display will eventually face the onslaught of graffiti, destruction, or simple deterioration over time. In an attempt to minimize the opportunities for vandalism, the location, placement, and materials recommended for this project are intended to mitigate damage.
