Williams Mine Fire Management Transitions To Local Team

Posted on by mbailey

Management of the Williams Mine Fire northwest of Trout Lake was transitioned Thursday from a Type III Incident Command Team to a local Type IV Team.   The fire that started on August 5 has burned 13,092 acres and is listed as 32% contained.  The Gifford Pinchot National Forest says full containment is not anticipated on the fire until a season ending event arrives, like multiple days of soaking rain or snow.  An area closure remains in effect on Gifford Pinchot National Forest lands in the vicinity of the fire.  There are still patrol and mop-up operations ongoing, as well as a significant amount of road repair work taking place.

Missing Boater Presumed Deceased; Vessel Located

Posted on by mbailey

The search for a missing boater in the aftermath of a commercial fishing boat capsizing and sinking on the Columbia River near the mouth of the White Salmon River on Wednesday is now being characterized as a recovery mission.   The Hood River County Sheriff’s Office identified the missing man as Michael Shufeldt of Woodland.  The fishing boat was located by the Skamania County Dive Team on Thursday afternoon about 40 feet deep in the Columbia, and efforts to recover it are ongoing.  The Sheriff’s Office said Shufeldt was not located in the vicinity of the boat and is presumed to be deceased as additional searches of the area using an underwater remotely operated vehicle has not located him.  Information gathered by investigators so far indicates the sinking was a result of rapidly deteriorating weather conditions the Sheriff’s Office called “treacherous,” as the boat capsized after taking a large wave over the stern.  Six people were rescued, with two transported to a hospital.  Numerous agencies and civilian volunteers have been involved in the search.

The search for a person missing since the boat they were in capsized in the Columbia River near the mouth of the White Salmon River on Wednesday will continue today (Thursday).  The Hood River County Sheriff’s Office says reports of the capsized boat were received just after 11:30 Wednesday morning.  Multiple law enforcement agency boats responded, and six people from the capsized vessel were pulled from the water and taken to shore, while two were transported to a hospital.  A seventh person aboard has not yet been located.  The Sheriff’s Office says an initial investigation determined the vessel was a 24-foot North River fishing boat that was last seen in the area of the green navigation buoy near the White Salmon inlet.  Names of those on the boat have not yet been released.  The initial search included the Hood River and Skamania County Sheriff’s Offices, Columbia River Intertribal Fisheries Officers, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, and multiple civilian boats, plus a Hood River County Sheriff’s Office plane and a Coast Guard helicopter from the Astoria station.

Chinook Retention Season Extended

Posted on by mbailey

Fishery managers from Oregon and Washington extended Chinook retention on the mainstem Columbia River for two additional weeks during a joint state hearing Wednesday.  The decision came after fishery managers assessed harvest in the fall season fisheries and considered the in-season abundance expectations for upriver salmon and steelhead stocks.  From West Puget Island to the Highway 395 Bridge at Pasco, Chinook retention will remain open through October 13 with a daily adult bag limit of two salmon, Chinook or coho, but only one may be a Chinook.  Hatchery coho only is allowed downstream of the Hood River Bridge; all wild coho caught in this area must be released.  From Buoy 10 to west Puget Island, Chinook retention will now remain open in the Buoy 10 fishery through October 13 with a daily adult bag limit of three salmon, Chinook or hatchery coho, but only one may be a Chinook.  Between October 14 and October 31, three adult hatchery coho can be retained daily but Chinook must be released.

Prescribed Burns Planned For Catherine Creek Drainage

Posted on by mbailey

Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area fire management officials plan to implement two prescribed burns Wednesday and Thursday in the upper Catherine Creek Drainage between Bingen and Lyle.  If weather conditions allow, the prescribed burns are anticipated to take two days to complete.  The objective is to reduce long-term wildfire risk through reductions in existing fuel loading, to restore the ecological functions of a fire adapted ecosystem to the area, and to improve wildlife habitat and biodiversity.  Forest visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and avoid the area during prescribed burning activities.  While there won’t be a direct impact to the Coyote Wall and Catherine Creek trail systems, visitors may see or smell smoke while on the trails.  Smoke may be visible on Highway 14 and Interstate 84 at times during the prescribed burn.  When smoke is present, motorists should reduce speeds and turn on headlights.
