Or. Admin. Code § 690-005-0020 - Policy
(1) Land use and
water management are integrally related. Statewide planning goals require
comprehensive plans to include inventories of, and mechanisms to protect,
important local water resources. State water laws require the Commission to
protect the public interest in all waters of the state. Recognizing the
responsibilities vested in both state and local government to manage and
protect water resources, the Commission places a high priority on complying
with statewide planning goals and achieving compatibility with local
comprehensive plans.
(2) In any
action pursuant to a program identified in OAR
690-005-0025, the
Commission and Department shall comply with the goals and be compatible with
local comprehensive plans to the greatest extent possible, as required by and
consistent with the full range of statutes governing land use and water
management and as set forth in OAR
690-005-0030 (Compliance with Statewide Planning Goals) and
690-005-0035 (Compatibility with Acknowledged Comprehensive Plans).
