Lewis River Interpretive & Education Plan executive summary In October 2006, PacifiCorp contracted with Sea Reach, Ltd. to develop an Interpretive and Education Plan for recreational sites at its hydroelectric projects along the Lewis River, Washington (FERC Project Nos. 935, 2071, and 2111). This plan addresses section 11.2.5 of the relicensing Settlement Agreement: “Interpretation and Education Program”: • The plan includes “sufficient details, specifications, and artwork for follow-on printing, production, constructing, and installation” of recommended materials. (to be completed concurrent to this review) • The plan focuses on “recreation resources, hydro generation, natural resources and cultural resources.” • The plan provides “for the continuation and expansion of the weekend campfire programs.” • The plan includes a watchable wildlife component (education about prominent wildlife species, their habitats, and their habits). • Meetings and documents pertaining to this plan have been open to participation and comment by PacifiCorp, Cowlitz County PUD, and all project stakeholders (see stakeholders list). This plan also addresses section 5.7 of the Settlement Agreement: a directive to provide public education about bull trout through signage and flyers. The purpose of this plan is to recommend an Interpretive and Educational (I&E) program that will: Enhance the experience of visitors and residents by creating a sense of place • Establish a PacifiCorp identity at all sites. • Create anticipation of a positive experience. • Foster safety through attactive and consistant signage. Encourage participation in resource protection • Build appreciation through education about this area’s value as a watershed and wildlife habitat. Share PacifiCorp’s efforts to manage habitat and minimize negative impacts, and encourage visitors to do the same. • Build appreciation through education about this area’s rich cultural history. Encourage visitors to respect cultural resources. • Inspire in visitors a sense of responsiblity in having access to these sites, which are part of an important hydroelectric project Promote cooperative, safe behaviors to benefit project resources and visitors • Create a set of clear, approachable, safe-conduct rules • Explain consequences Sea Reach Ltd • 146 NE yamhill Street • Sheridan, OR draft 3 • November 2008 • page iii
