2008-2010#
Hogan Ranch is located on the Scappoose Bay Bottomlands, an important wetland area of the watershed. In 2004 the NRCS acquired a conservation easement on the property, and between 2008 and 2010, the Council conducted water quality and vegetation studies as part of restoration and enhancement efforts.#
Water quality monitoring was done to understand the seasonal and yearly changes in water chemistry and depth on three Hogan Ranch ponds and creeks flowing into them. Significant results include a decrease in E.coli levels during the restoration project. Vegetation studies showed changes in plant compositions, including increases in wapato and other natives.
