Lower Columbia River Restoration Prioritization Framework

The Restoration Prioritization Framework was designed as a decision-making tool for the Lower Columbia River Estuary Partnership, to help identify the highest priority sites for restoration.  This report describes the concept for developing the Tier 1 impact assessment, or 'disturbance scores' for the lower Columbia River floodplain. The 'Tier 1' terminology is no longer being applied in the greater Habitat Restoration Strategy, with the data set now referred to as simply the 'Landscape Disturbance' model.
