Or. Admin. Code § 731-012-0050 - Determination of a Potential Reduction of Vehicle-Carrying Capacity

(1) Department staff is responsible for identifying if the Proposed Action has the potential for a Reduction of Vehicle-Carrying Capacity.

(2) When identifying the potential for a Reduction of Vehicle-Carrying Capacity, Department staff will employ an appropriate level of analysis of the Proposed Action. During this analysis Department staff may review plans and designs, and consult with technical experts outside the Department. In making this identification, the Department will involve staff from the appropriate Department Divisions. (For example, the addition of a raised median may involve staff from the Highway Division and the Motor Carrier Transportation Division.)

(3) If the Department determines that a Proposed Action would not result in a Reduction of Vehicle-Carrying Capacity, no further Division 12 review is required. The Department may continue with the Proposed Action using Department processes including other appropriate reviews not covered by this division.

(4) If a Proposed Action has the potential for a Reduction of Vehicle-Carrying Capacity, Department staff will notify the affected local agencies, and in the case of a development review, the affected applicant prior to proceeding with a Stakeholder Forum review.
