Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 736 - PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT › Division 55 - STANDARDS TO BE USED WHEN ALLOCATING FEDERAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION MONIES › Section 736-055-0010 - Standards and Criteria for Project Selection

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
As federal historic preservation monies subject to state
				discretion become available for allocation, office staff will review grant
				requests on file and, using the following standards and criteria, select
				projects for offers of grant. The criteria will be used to prioritize projects
				for funding. It is important to understand that projects do not compete with
				the criteria, but instead compete with each other for available funds. The
				criteria are used to prioritize project applications for funding. Selected
				projects may be offered all or part of the federal funds requested.
(1) Acquisition Projects. Because the expense
			 of appraisals and other procurement requirements tends to make projects that
			 result in the acquisition of properties less cost effective than development
			 projects, acquisition projects will only be considered as a means to save
			 properties from loss or destruction. Acquisition projects that result in public
			 or private nonprofit ownership of properties will receive priority
			 consideration over projects that result in private ownership. Staff will also
			 take into account those criteria for development projects which reasonably
			 apply to acquisition projects when selecting acquisition projects.
(2) Development Projects. Staff will take
			 into account the following criteria when selecting projects for the development
			 of historic properties:
(a) Project Readiness
			 -- some proposed projects have more highly developed plans, more matching funds
			 available, and are in other ways more ready to proceed than other projects.
			 Staff will review information supplied by project proponents and categorize
			 each project according to readiness as follows:
(A) Primary -- includes projects which are
			 well along in the planning stages, have readily available matching funds, and
			 will be able to proceed immediately upon an offer of grant.
(B) Secondary -- includes projects which have
			 some planning completed and/or some but not all matching funds available.
			 Projects in this category must be able to proceed in a reasonable amount of
			 time if a grant offer is made.
(C)
			 Possible -- includes projects that don't fit into the above two categories.
			 These are projects where a starting date is unsure, matching funds are unsure,
			 etc.
Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 736 - PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT › Division 55 - STANDARDS TO BE USED WHEN ALLOCATING FEDERAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION MONIES › Section 736-055-0015 - Advisory Committee Review and Public Comment

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
At least once a year, staff will inform the State Advisory
				Committee on Historic Preservation of projects that have been selected for
				grant funding at a regular meeting of the Committee. The Committee may review
				this information and comment or make policy recommendations. Staff will make
				the date of this review known to the press and to anyone who has asked to be
				informed of it. Government agencies or the public may comment on allocation
				policy at this or any other regular meeting of the committee.

Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 736 - PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT › Division 60 - INSTREAM WATER RIGHTS › Section 736-060-0015 - Recreation Flow Requirement Methodology

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
(1) Recreation flow requirements requested in
			 Department instream water right applications shall be based on the methodology
			 in this section. According to this methodology, the recreation flow is the flow
			 or water level needed to accommodate the predominant recreational use(s)
			 occurring during any given month. The Department shall make this determination
			 using the following procedure:
(a) Each
			 existing type of recreational use shall be identified and fully described. Each
			 type may have separate, discrete, instream flow requirements and seasons of
			 use. Some stream flow dependent uses may occur on the riverbank including, but
			 not limited to, scenic attraction and wildlife viewing, camping, hiking,
			 boating access, and picnicking;
(b)
			 Each type of recreational use shall be described as follows and according to
			 the definitions (OAR 736-060-0010):
(A) Time period of recreational
			 use;
(B) Stream flow, or range of
			 flows, that support the use depicted by month, or by half-month if appropriate,
			 and quantified in cubic feet per second (cfs), or, if for a lake or other
			 standing water body, in feet above mean sea level or acre feet;
(C) Location(s) of recreational use.
			 Locations may be described in any way that provides sufficient details to
			 identify a common location for the use, including by reference to the
			 Environmental Protection Agency's stream reach numbering system or other such
			 documented system in wide use;
(D)
			 Experience setting. Reference to the "Recreation Opportunity Spectrum" system
			 of the U.S. Forest Service is helpful, but not mandatory. A discussion of
			 current and planned recreation developments and management programs must be
			 included;
(E) Amount of
			 recreational use. The popularity of a stream, river, lake, or wetland, while
			 not the sole basis for instream water rights requests, must be taken into
			 account. The Department will use its best efforts to obtain quantifiable data
			 on actual recreational use. Professional judgment described in relative terms
			 (i.e., low, moderate, or high) may be used when precise data are not
			 available;
(F) Competing use(s), if
			 any;
(G) Institutional constraints.
			 These may include, but are not limited to:
(i) Recreation use permits;
(ii) Fishing regulations;
(iii) Dam releases;
(iv) Minimum perennial streamflows or other
			 instream water rights;
(v) Court
			 decisions;
(vi) Standards contained
			 in OAR 690-077-0045 (WRD);
(vii)
			 Acknowledged comprehensive land use plan of local
			 government.
(c) Depict the flows needed by month to
			 accommodate the predominant recreational use(s), and explain how these flows
			 were established.
