Or. Admin. Code § 690-051-0230 - Recreation
No project may be approved that would result in a net loss of recreation opportunities. Scenic and aesthetic values shall be maintained or enhanced. In order to approve an application, the Director shall apply the following standards:
(1) Project
facilities will be designed, located and operated to substantially avoid
visible or audible intrusion on the natural setting integral to existing
recreational facilities, activities or opportunities.
(2) The proposed project will not reduce the
abundance or variety of recreational facilities or opportunities available in
the project vicinity.
(3)
Unavoidable adverse impacts on nonwater dependent recreation facilities,
activities or opportunities will be mitigated in the project vicinity by
providing acceptable replacement facilities or opportunities of the same or
similar nature and abundance.
(4)
The project will not have significant adverse impacts on any unique, unusual or
distinct natural feature which provides the focus or attraction for non water
dependent recreational facilities or activities.
(5) Unavoidable adverse impacts on any water
dependent recreational opportunity will be mitigated with acceptable
replacement by or enhancement or another water dependent recreational
opportunity available in the project vicinity.
(6) The proposed project will not cause the
loss of or significant adverse impact to any water dependent recreational
opportunities of statewide significance.
(7) Adverse impacts on any specific elements,
such as flow regime, length of reach, access, season of use, degree of
difficulty, of a water dependent recreational opportunity of statewide
significance, will be offset by acceptable enhancement to other element(s) of
the same water dependent recreational opportunity in the project
vicinity.
