Adjustments and variances are procedures to vary development standards normally applied to a particular zoning district. Adjustments are relatively minor modifications that apply only to individual lots and therefore cannot be used to vary development standards for lots created through a subdivision process. Variances on the other hand are a means of requesting a complete waiver or major adjustment to certain development standards or modifications through a subdivision process.
This water trail guide is for the Sandy River from river mile (RM) 0.0, the confluence of the Sandy River with the Columbia River, to RM 37.5, the confluence of the Salmon River from the Sandy River.
These six trips represent a wide range of river conditions and difficulty levels. Paddles times are estimated based on average river flows and may vary by type of craft and boater skill level. It’s important to select a trip that fits your skills. Current river levels and flow conditions can be found online at the Northwest River Forecast Center: http://www.nwrfc.noaa.gov/rfc/

In recognition of the river’s remarkable values, a 12.5 mile segment of the Sandy River from Dodge Park, downstream to Dabney State Recreation Site is designated as a federal Wild and Scenic River by the U.S. Congress and is also designated as a State Scenic Waterway by the people of Oregon.
Adequate preparation is critical to safe paddling. Be sure everyone on board has the training, skill and experience, including self-rescue and assisted rescue experience. Learn as much as you can about the route and any hazards by scouting ahead of where you’ll be boating. Keep a sharp lookout for other paddlers and navigation hazards, such as logs, strainers, and submersed rocks. Pick clean lines and learn to “read the river.”

The City of Sandy has three water sources. During the spring, fall and winter approximately 50% of the City’s supply is purchased from the Portland Water Bureau. The remainder of our supply comes from Brownell Springs (a city-owned natural spring on Lenhart Butte) and Alder Creek (a small tributary of the Sandy River). During the summer when demand increases, each source provides approximately one-third of the total supply.
The City obtains some of its municipal water supply from Alder Creek, a tributary of the Sandy River. The Alder Creek watershed comprises approximately 4200 acres, 3900 acres of which drain to the City’s diversion structure.
