N. Santiam R. Willamette R. Long Tom Lebanon Green Peter and Foster lakes are located on the middle and south forks of the Santiam River. They are operated by the Corps of Engineers as part of a system of thirteen multi-purpose dams and reservoirs that make up the Willamette Valley Project. These dams and reservoirs work together for the purposes of flood dam- age reduction, hydropower generation, irrigation, recreation, fish and wildlife enhancement and downstream water quality improve- ment within the Willamette River drainage system. TO ENJOY A SAFE OUTING OBSERVE THESE SAFETY TIPS BOATING Wear a personal flotation device (PFD), and observe posted boating speeds at all times. WATER SKIING Have two people in the tow boat, one to drive and one to watch the skier. Avoid skiing near swimmers and fishermen. ALWAYS wear a life jacket when skiing and NEVER ski after dusk. FISHING Stay clear of boat channels and swimming areas. While trolling, watch the water ahead for boats, swimmers and underwater obstacles. SWIMMING Use the buddy system. Swim only in posted swimming areas away from docks and boating areas. UNDERWATER HAZARDS Floating logs, submerged stumps and rocks are present in the lake. Be especially watchful for obstructions near the shoreline. SMALL CRAFT WARNINGS Dangerous waves can build up suddenly. Stay out of open waters when winds become threatening. SEAPLANE INSTRUCTIONS Please exercise caution - heavy boat traffic may be encountered when landing on the lake. Refer to Seaplane Operations at Corps Lakes for specific regulations. FIRE PREVENTION The fire potential is generally high during the recreation season. Help prevent forest fires by putting out camp fires completely and disposing of all refuse in trash cans. Build fires only in designated fire rings. Under the Archeological Resources Protection Act of 1979, it is illegal to excavate or remove artifacts from federal land. Violators are subject to a fine of not more than $100,000, imprisonment of not more than five years, and forfeiture of all equipment (including vehicles) used in connection with a violation. Federal rules and regulations concerning the use of areas are set forth in Title 36, Chaper III of the Code of Federal Regulations and are on display in the areas of the project most frequently used by the public. Dam Operation and Hydropower Green Peter Dam is a concrete structure with a gated spillway, and Foster Dam is a rock-fill structure with a concrete gated spillway. They were completed in1968 at a cost of $82.3 million. Since then, they have prevented more than $1 billion in potential flood damages. During flood season, the dams hold back water to regulate downstream flows. During summer and fall, the cool, clean water that is slowly released from the dams improves down- stream water quality. Green Peter Dam, the principal facility, has two hydropower generating units capable of producing a total of 80,000 kilowatts. Foster Dam, located about 7 miles downstream, is used to regu- late power-generating water releases from Green Peter Dam and regulate flows from the South Santiam River. Foster Dam has two generators capable of producing 10,000 kilowatts. Recreation Green Peter and Foster lakes are popular recreation areas for fishing, boating, water skiing, swimming, and picnicking. Linn County Parks and Recreation Department operates the day- use areas, boat ramps and campgrounds at both lakes. More information about these facilities can be obtained at www.co.linn. or.us/parks or by calling 541-967-3917. Fish Management To mitigate impacts to salmon and steelhead caused by the dams, the Corps of Engineers built the South Santiam Fish Hatchery and a fish collection facility at the base of Foster Dam. Fish collected at the facility are transported back to the hatchery or released above Foster Dam to access upstream spawning habitat. The fish facilities are operated by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, with funds provided by the Corps and the State of Oregon.
