Submit Rulemaking Comment

Description: DSL is considering an amendment to OAR 141-093-0185 to extend the vernal pool General Permit (GP) expiration date from January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2026.
The vernal pool General Permit option was developed by the agencies that regulate earth moving in vernal pool wetlands: the Oregon Department of State Lands, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Vernal pools are a type of seasonal wetland in Jackson County that supports three federally listed rare species. Projects meeting the criteria may secure wetland and Endangered Species Act permits faster than the usual individual permit and consultation process.
