NOTES: (1) This is not an exhaustive list of activities that could result in fill, removal, or alteration of the bed and banks of a Scenic Waterway. (2) ORS 390.835(5) allows the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to undertake these projects without Scenic Waterway review. However, a removal-fill permit, lease, easement, or license may be needed. (3) ORS 390.835(6) allows the Water Resources Commission to undertake these projects without Scenic Waterway review. However, a removal-fill permit, and/or lease, easement, or license may be needed. (4) Due to action by the 2001 Oregon legislature (Oregon Laws 2001, Chapter 499, section 4), the Department is no longer authorized to issue permits for dredging related to recreational placer mining on scenic waterways.

(2) "Bed and/or Banks" means the land lying beneath the waters of the Scenic Waterway and extending to the Ordinary High Water Line.

(3) "Demonstrated Need" means the proposed activity is clearly and convincingly required.

(a) The waterbody must be capable of, or susceptible to, use as a highway for the transportation of people or goods;

(b) Transportation must be conducted in customary modes of trade and travel on water;

(c) Waters must be navigable in their natural and ordinary condition;

(d) Title navigability is determined as of the date of statehood (February 14, 1859).

(13) "Ordinary High Water" is the line on the bank or shore of a waterway to which the water ordinarily rises annually in season. The Ordinary High Water line excludes exceptionally high water levels caused by large flood events. The Department establishes ordinary high water by reference to historical data, vegetation, field observations, survey, or other generally accepted methods under OAR 141-085.

(14) "Person" is an individual, political subdivision, or government agency; or any corporation, association, firm, partnership, joint stock company; or quasi-public corporation registered to do business in the State of Oregon.

(16) "Recreational Placer Mining" means to remove, fill or move by artificial means, one cubic yard or more of material at any one individual site and cumulatively, less then 25 cubic yards of material annually from or within the bed of a State Scenic Waterway by methods other than dredging. "Recreational placer mining" does not include dredging, which is no longer authorized in State Scenic Waterways. "Recreational placer mining" also does not include recreational prospecting that does not require a permit.

(17) "Related Adjacent Land" is all land within 1/4 of one mile of the bank of Waldo Lake, or any river or segment of river within a Scenic Waterway, except land that, in the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department's (OPRD) judgment, does not affect the view from the waters within a Scenic Waterway.

Policy

The Department shall:

(1) Preserve and protect the natural setting, water quality, and free flowing condition of Scenic Waterways. ORS 390.815

(2) Recognize recreation, fish and wildlife uses as the highest and best uses of the waters of a Scenic Waterway. ORS 390.835(1)

(3) Protect and enhance scenic, aesthetic, natural, historic, archaeological, recreation, scientific, and fish and wildlife values along Scenic Waterways by protecting the special attributes (as listed in each Scenic Waterway Management Plan prepared by OPRD) that caused the waterway to be included in the Scenic Waterway system.

(4) Not authorize activities prohibited by law (dams, reservoirs, impoundments, all types of large-scale placer mining and the use of any dredges).

(5) Require applicants to employ streambank stabilization and rehabilitation techniques utilizing native riparian vegetation and other non-structural alternatives, unless it can be demonstrated such approaches are unlikely to be effective for the given situation under consideration by the Department.

(6) Prohibit filling, removal, or alteration of the beds and banks of Scenic Waterways except as permitted by the Director as provided in these rules.

(7) Recognize the interrelated nature of regulatory activities affecting Scenic Waterways and the need to achieve coordinated management and protection of Scenic Waterway values. The Department shall work in close cooperation with state, local, and federal agencies, particularly OPRD, Water Resources Department (WRD), Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE), affected Tribes, and local government land use planning agencies.

(8) Recognize the high level of public interest in Oregon Scenic Waterway management by providing opportunities for comment on proposed policies or rules and individual applications.

(9) Adhere to the Department's State Agency Coordination Program (OAR 141-095-0005 to 0015), to assure compliance with the statewide planning goals and compatibility with acknowledged city and county comprehensive land use plans.

Coordination with Key Agencies Involved in Scenic Waterway Management

(1) Managing the Scenic Waterway Program is a cooperative effort of the OPRD, WRD and the Department. In addition, ODFW, DEQ, the Department of Forestry (DOF) and the Oregon State Marine Board play key roles. Therefore, the Department shall:

(a) Coordinate the review and issuance of all Scenic Waterway removal-fill permits with the affected state agencies;

(b) Coordinate the investigation of alleged Scenic Waterway removal-fill violations with affected agencies;

(c) Advise applicants of the need to obtain concurrence from OPRD for projects on related adjacent lands; and

(d) Seek to utilize the expertise of other agency staff.

(2) Because many Scenic Waterways are also included in the federal Wild and Scenic River system or similar designations on tribal lands, the Department will work closely with the appropriate federal agencies (U.S. Forest Service (USFS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and COE) and affected Tribes as follows:

(a) Fully coordinate the review and issuance of all Scenic Waterway removal-fill permits with the analysis outlined in the Review Procedures for Scenic Waterway Removal-fill Permits (OAR 141-100-0050(2)), and participate in National Environmental Protection Act review or any similar evaluations conducted by federal agencies; and

(b) Immediately notify the appropriate federal agency or affected Tribe of alleged Scenic Waterway removal-fill violations.
