Sustainability Pilot Project
Sustainability Board Restoration Pilot Project This project is sponsored by the Sustainability Board, the Office of Regulatory Streamlining, and the Institute for Natural Resources. The Pilot Project is the Brownsville Dam Removal project on the Calapooia River, the project applicant is the Calapooia Watershed Council.
The purpose of the Sustainability Board Restoration Pilot Project is to sponsor a significant restoration type pilot project that will include in-water restoration with regulatory agencies at the Federal, State, and Local levels in the interest of streamlining the regulatory processes using the Water-Related Process Improvement Team (WRPPIT) Model.
The WRPPIT Model involves conducting a multi-agency pre-application conference, assigning an application/project coordinator from DSL as the designated lead coordinating regulatory agency, providing inter-agency coordination of completeness review, permit comments and conditions and using concurrent regulatory permit processing.
