Interagency Coordination Guidance
The Oregon Forest Practices Act (FPA) is most often the exclusive authority for regulating forest practices. However, in some cases other state agencies' regulatory programs apply to certain aspects of forest operations. There are other non-forest issues that also require operators to consider other agency programs when forest operations or activities corollary to forest operations are planned. Most of these other agency programs deal with the consequences of operations, rather than the practices to be used.
- Other Agencies' Programs (doc) - Useful information for you or landowner/operator about other agencies' programs that may require some level of coordination before planning your forest operation(s).
