    Open to the Public: Energy Efficiency and Alternative Use Guidelines for Historic Buildings in Region 6 of the USFS
    (2019-06) Kornder, Kate
    There are innumerable historic buildings in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States Forest Service that are important elements of the nation’s history. Unfortunately, many of these structures are underutilized by both the Forest Service and the public. Increasing the use of these structures will lead to their inevitable preservation as they are appreciated and maintained – a process this project calls Preservation Through Use. In order to increase the Preservation Through Use of these buildings, this project provides the top 3 most cost-efficient energy upgrades that maintain the character of historic administrative buildings, making them more attractive for use, as well as the most effective leasing strategies that provide new and alternative uses for them. Trout Lake Administrative District, a complex of 30 Forest Service buildings, is used as an example of the breadth of administrative buildings extant on Forest Service land and how to identify those that are eligible to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Then, case study buildings are used to illustrate appropriate energy efficiency treatments for historic buildings from different periods of significance in Forest Service history.

    Something in the Way: Interpreting Historical Frictions on the Upper Klamath River
    (University of Oregon, 2024) Wylie, Samuel
    On November 17, 2022, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved the surrender of licenses to operate four hydroelectric dams on the Upper Klamath River.2 Their approval, conveyed in a written order and filed alongside millions of documents in FERC’s E-Library, had historic implications. The order was the result of decades of negotiations influenced by stakeholders with concerns as large as the regional economy and as small as the view from their kitchen window. The final order conveys this recent history glancingly since most concerns were hashed out in a series of documents in the preceding decade. Its aim and implications were clear, however: The Klamath River Renewal Corporation (KRRC), who inherited the hydroelectric licenses a year earlier, wanted to surrender their right to operate the facilities. Their decision initiated a monumental effort to remove the infrastructure from the river’s path and is currently the world’s largest dam demolition project to date.
