Proposed Grant Administration Rules
The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB) is seeking public comment on proposed rules that update grant administration rules to benefit implementation of OWEB’s grant program. OWEB is proposing revisions to its administrative rules in divisions 5, 10, 35, and 40, and is proposing to add a new division 4 that frames the ability of the OWEB Board to make watershed enhancement investments through the regular grant program or through specific initiatives or programs.
The proposed rules include updates to the following:
- Landowner agreement requirements contained in 695-005-0030(4) and 695-005-0060(4);
- Grant amendment requirements contained in 695-005-0050(1);
- The ability of the Director to enter into rule waivers contained in 695-005-0070 and in divisions 10, 35, and 40; and
- The consistent use of the terms Director, Board, OWEB, and effectiveness monitoring in divisions 5 and 10.
The July 2008 Proposed Rules only show the rules in the above-referenced divisions where a change is proposed. Where no change is proposed, “NO CHANGE” has been inserted below the rule numbers. The Chance to Comment Memorandum also includes background information describing the purpose and intent behind the proposed rule changes.
Public Hearing
A public hearing will be held on July 15, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. in the Mill Creek Room on the first floor of the State Lands Building at 775 Summer Street NE in Salem.

| Temporary Administrative Rules |
|
The Board adopted temporary administrative rules related to Governor's Executive Order No. 08-10 declaring a state or emergency due to limitations on ocean commercial and sport fishing on the Oregon Coast. The rules allow OWEB to offer grants that support priority salmon habitat projects and that are able to create work opportunities for fishers displaced by the 2008 limitations.
