DIVISION 88 CHETCO RIVER RULEMAKING
This rulemaking will amend the Department’s public recreational use rules relative to state-owned submerged and submersible land in the Chetco River. On October 20, 2011, the Department received a petition for rulemaking from the Chetco River Watershed Council, pursuant to ORS 183.390 and OAR 137-001-0070. The petition sought adoption of a rule limiting use of motorized vehicles in the wetted channel of the Chetco River, subject to certain exceptions. The petition asserted that use of motorized vehicles within the wetted river channel “poses a significant risk of harm and damage to the natural resource of the land and to the public.” The Department recommended to the State Land Board that it grant the petition and authorize the Department to initiate rulemaking to impose additional restrictions on the public recreational use of state-owned land on the Chetco River as part of the Department’s rules on “Public Recreational Use of State-Owned Property” found in Oregon Administrative Rules at OAR 141-088. The State Land Board approved this request at the December 13, 2011 meeting.

DIVISION 145 - WATERWAY REMEDIATION AND RESTORATION RULEMAKING
The department assembled an advisory committee to help draft new administrative rules governing how DSL should manage authorizations for restoration and remediation activities on state-owned waterways. Committee members represented a wide variety of interests and geographic locations throughout Oregon. Their charge is to help draft rules to facilitate selling or issuing authorizations for these activities on state land; to address how to value the land; and to establish appropriate compensation for various uses or the sale of the land. DSL retained The Mary Orton Company, LLC, to provide convening and facilitation services for the committee. The group met monthly and their meetings were open to the public. For more information: agendas, meeting notes and public meetings.
The public comment period ended January 31, 2013 at 5:00PM.
