 Willamette River DO and pH
However, of the reaches studied, only the Coast Fork Willamette River from river mile (RM) 21.7 to 12.5 and the Willamette River from RM 151 to 141.6 had field measured violations of State standards for DO and pH.
Of the four study reaches, only a short stretch of the Coast Fork Willamette River has potential for important levels of oxygen consumption from BOD or nitrification.
In the Willamette River near Peoria, the combined periphyton DO consumption and production estimate at RM 151 (2.4 mg/L) and RM 144.6 (1.7 mg/L) would account for 90 and 63 percent, respectively, of the observed diel fluctuation.

The group's most dramatic restoration project is in the South Meadow of the Howard Buford Recreation Area, a 200-acre floodplain cut by the Willamette River Coast Fork.
In December 2003, just a month after FBP finished restoring the channel, heavy rains caused the Coast Fork to swell into the meadow: precisely the desired result, allowing riparian trees like cottonwood to germinate.
The organization's stated purpose is to restore high-priority native habitats in the Willamette Valley, including oak savannas, wetlands, upland prairies, and bottomland hardwood forests.
