OAR 660-023-0120
Federal Wild and Scenic Rivers


(1)

At each periodic review, local governments shall amend acknowledged plans and land use regulations to address any federal Wild and Scenic River (WSR) and associated corridor established by the federal government that is not addressed by the acknowledged plan. The standards and procedures of OAR 660-023-0030 (Inventory Process) through 660-023-0050 (Programs to Achieve Goal 5) apply to WSRs, except as provided in this rule.

(2)

Local governments shall not inventory WSRs using the standard process under OAR 660-023-0030 (Inventory Process), except that local governments shall follow the requirements of 660-023-0030 (Inventory Process)(5) by designating all WSRs as significant Goal 5 resources.

(3)

A local government may delay completion of OAR 660-023-0040 (ESEE Decision Process) and 660-023-0050 (Programs to Achieve Goal 5) for a WSR until the federal government adopts a management plan for the WSR. Prior to the federal government adoption of a management plan, the local government shall notify the federal government of proposed development and changes of land use within the interim WSR corridor.

(4)

Prior to or at the first periodic review following adoption of a management plan by the federal government for an established WSR, the local government shall adopt a program to protect the WSR and associated corridor by following the ESEE standards and procedures of OAR 660-023-0040 (ESEE Decision Process) and 660-023-0050 (Programs to Achieve Goal 5). The impact area determined under OAR 660-023-0040 (ESEE Decision Process)(3) shall be the WSR corridor that is established by the federal government. Notwithstanding the provisions of OAR 660-023-0040 (ESEE Decision Process)(5), the local program shall be consistent with the federal management plan.

(5)

For any lands in a designated WSR corridor that are also within the impact area of a designated Oregon Scenic Waterway, the local government may apply the requirements of OAR 660-023-0130 (Oregon Scenic Waterways) rather than the applicable requirements of this rule in order to develop a program to achieve Goal 5.
