Backyard Burning ReopensFrom Clackamas Fire District #1

The Clackamas Fire District #1 backyard

burning (Domestic Open Burning) seasonbegins October 1 and ends December 1 5,unless fire danger levels are “High” or“Extreme.” Backyard burning is the burning oforganic yard debris on the property of origin,on approved burn days, during approved burnhours, as indicated by the Department ofEnvironmental Quality (DEQ). Clackamas FireDistrict #1 has a daily burn message line thatis a recording of whether DEQ determined theday to be a burn day. The burn message lineis 503.632.0211 . The burn information appliesto the areas served by Clackamas Fire District#1 .

Backyard burning is only al lowed on propertylocated outside of the DEQ Burn Ban Areaand is not al lowed in compact housingdevelopments.

Backyard burning materials must be dried, tothe extent practicable, loosely stacked (toprovide adequate air supply) to ensure goodcombustion; therefore, avoiding smolderingfires. I f the smoke or odor emission affectsothers, the fire must be extinguished.Materials prohibited from burning, include butare not l imited to, garbage, plastic, rubber,petroleum treated materials, and any othermaterial that creates dense smoke andnoxious odors.

Backyard burn piles can be no larger than1 0’x1 0’x1 0’ and must be a minimum of 50-feetfrom a structure or other combustiblematerials. A maximum of two burn piles may

be burned at any one time, if space allows. Allbackyard fires must be attended to at al l timesand extinguished by the fires out time, whichmeans no flames or smoke beyond the end ofthe established burn hours.

Rain and Mud Season isComing – Be Prepared!By Cathy McQueeney, Clackamas Soil & WaterConservation District

Fall has yet to official ly arrive, but socialmedia is already abuzz about the upcomingrain and mud season. Landowners withl ivestock face additional chal lenges once the

Oregon rains arrive in ful l . Muddy pasturesand paddocks can cause health concerns forhorses, damage to forage areas inviteinvasive weed problems in the spring, andchores become significantly more difficult.

Prepare now for a better winter for both youand your animals! Our conservation planningstaff provide free technical resources to helpyou make the best decisions for your site.

Here are a few things you can do now toprotect your animals from health issuesrelated to mud, and help you avoid sloggingthrough a muddy mess. These goodstewardship practices wil l also help protectour many local waterways, safeguarding vitalfish and wildl ife habitat AND the drinkingwater supply for many of our friends andneighbors. I t’s a win-win situation al l around!

• Use fences to keep animals out of creeks,wetlands, and lakes. Provide alternative watersources if needed.


• Practice good pasture management for ahealthy pasture, avoiding grazing when thesoil can’t support the weight of the animal. I fthe animal is leaving hoof impressions in thesoil , the soil is too soft.

• Designate a sacrifice area where you arewil l ing to keep your l ivestock during the winterand for short periods during the growingseason, after pastures have been grazeddown to three inches. This protects pasturesfrom being destroyed during the rainy winterseason. The vegetation in your sacrifice areawil l be trampled and the ground wil l becomemuddy, but this also allows your pastures torecover from grazing and promotes healthygrass and hay stands.

• Instal l a heavy use area that wil l keep youranimals out of the mud. Work with your localSoil and Water Conservation District to designthe heavy use area for your particularsituation.

• Maintain a grassy area around the sacrificearea to fi lter any runoff that may occur. Thisbuffer should be at least 25 feet wide aroundthe sacrifice area, and should be wider if yoursacrifice area is near a stream.

• Instal l gutters and downspouts on allbui ldings and divert water away from thesacrifice area or barnyard.

• Plant trees and moisture-loving shrubsoutside of sacrifice areas. Trees can drink alot of water, helping to keep the area drier andreducing surface runoff.

Let the Clackamas Soil & Water ConservationDistrict help you win the battle with mud andsafeguard your l ivestock! Contact us at 503-21 0-6000 or online at conservationdistrict.org.Blog adapted from Tips on Land & WaterManagement for Small Acreages in Oregon.

BLM Offers Outcome-BasedGrazing Authorizations

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM)announced a new initiative to provide grazingpermit holders more flexibi l ity in themanagement of l ivestock while also protectingthe public lands.

Under the demonstration program, the BLMwil l work with grazing permittees and otherstakeholders in identifying 6 to 1 2 "Outcome-Based Grazing Authorizations" in its first year.Grazing authorizations typical ly emphasizeprocess and prescription. The newauthorizations wil l instead emphasizeecological outcomes, al lowing l ivestockoperators more flexibi l ity to make adjustmentsin response to changing conditions such asdrought or wildland fire. This innovativeconcept is intended to develop and determinethe effectiveness of these permits to managelivestock grazing on public lands in order tomeet both natural resource and operationalobjectives.

"Farmers and ranchers know the wildl ife andthe land they work better than anyone, it onlymakes sense that we would enl ist them inconservation efforts," said Department of the

Left: Before mud management. Right: After mud management.


Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke.

The new authorizations wil l emphasizeconservation performance, ecologicaloutcomes and cooperative management ofpublic lands that wil l also provide greateropportunity for an operator to manageranching operations that are botheconomical ly and environmental lysustainable.

Through this new demonstration program, theBLM plans to work with permit holders andother stakeholders to show that l ivestockgrazing on the public lands can operate undera more flexible framework than is commonlyused in order to better reach agreed uponhabitat or vegetation goals. The BLM and itspartners in the grazing community wil l shareexperiences and best practices that wil ldetermine if additional authorizations can besuccessful in the future.

The BLM administers nearly 1 8,000 permitsand leases held by ranchers who graze theirl ivestock (mostly cattle and sheep) on morethan 21 ,000 allotments. Livestock grazing

occurs on 1 55 mil l ion acres of public lands.

The BLM wil l sol icit project proposals throughits state offices with a deadline of Oct. 1 3.
