Or. Admin. R. 141-100-0030 - Coordination with Key Agencies Involved in Scenic Waterway Management

(1) Cooperative Effort. Managing the State Scenic Waterway Program is a cooperative effort of the OPRD, WRD and the Department. In addition, ODFW, DEQ, the Department of Forestry (DOF) and the Oregon State Marine Board play key roles. Therefore, the Department will:

(a) Coordinate the review and issuance of all State Scenic Waterway removal-fill permits with the affected state agencies;

(b) Coordinate the investigation of alleged State Scenic Waterway removal-fill violations with affected agencies;

(c) Advise applicants of the need to obtain concurrence from OPRD for projects on related adjacent lands; and

(d) Seek to utilize the expertise of other state agency's staff.

(2) Tribal and Federal Coordination. Because many State Scenic Waterways are also included in the federal Wild and Scenic River system or similar designations on tribal lands, the Department will work closely with the appropriate federal agencies including the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the U.S Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and affected tribes as follows:

(a) Fully coordinate the review and issuance of all State Scenic Waterway removal-fill permits with the analysis outlined in the Application Review Procedures for Scenic Waterway Removal-fill Permits (OAR 141-100-0045), and participate in National Environmental Protection Act review or any similar evaluations conducted by federal agencies; and

(b) Immediately notify the appropriate federal agency or affected tribe of alleged State Scenic Waterway removal-fill violations.
