Waterway Remediation and Restoration Rulemaking
The department recently assembled an advisory committee to help draft new administrative rules governing how DSL should manage authorizations for restoration and remediation activities on state-owned waterways.
Committee members represent a wide variety of interests and geographic locations throughout Oregon. Their charge is to help draft rules to facilitate selling or issuing authorizations for these activities on state land; to address how to value the land; and to establish appropriate compensation for various uses or the sale of the land.
DSL has retained The Mary Orton Company, LLC, to provide convening and facilitation services for the committee, whose first meeting was held on Dec. 2 in Portland. The group will meet monthly, and their meetings are open to the public. The tentative schedule is:
- Jan. 17: 10:00 a.m., Association of Oregon Counties, 1201 Court Street NE, Salem - meeting agenda
- Feb. 17
- March 29
- April 26
Meeting locations will be determined at the previous meeting.
A formal rulemaking process, including public hearings, is expected to begin in July 2012. For more information...
Additional Waterway Rulemaking
After temporarily suspending rulemaking in 2009, the Department is again working on revisions to OAR 141-082, governing the leasing and registration of structures on, and uses of, state-owned submerged and submersible lands.
An advisory committee is working with the Department to provide input before the draft rules are posted in the Secretary of State bulletin, tentatively scheduled for April 1, 2012. This will begin the formal rulemaking process, which will include public hearings in mid-April.
The draft rules will be reviewed by the Department of Justice for legal sufficiency with Senate Bill 600, a bill passed in 2011 that added additional waterway leasing exemptions for riprap, drainage districts, city and county road maintenance, and voluntary habitat restoration projects. Public outreach meetings on the new legislation will be held in March, and posted on the DSL public meetings webpage.
More information on waterway rulemaking is available from Chris Castelli, land manager, 503-986-5262.
