Purpose

In accordance with ORS 197.180 (State agency planning responsibilities), this rule establishes Department policy and procedures to assure that Department activities determined to significantly affect land use are carried out in a manner that complies with the statewide land use goals and are compatible with acknowledged comprehensive plans. There are limited situations such as those related to the Health Abatement Act and Threat to Drinking Water Act where the applicable statutes obligate the Department to make decisions based exclusively on environmental, public health and safety considerations, and nothing in this program is intended to affect these responsibilities. Division 18 shall control over any inconsistent rule provisions relating to land use compliance and compatibility in OAR 340, divisions 20, 35, 52, 61, 71, and 120.
