                                                     Introduction





                 This 309 Strategies document must be read in conjunction with Oregon's 309 Assessment document to gain a
                 proper understanding of the management issues being addressed by the respective strategies.

                 This report discusses specific strategies for each of Oregon's priority "309" improvement areas:

                       Cumulative and secondary adverse effects of development;

                       Coastal natural hazards;

                       Wetlands; and


                       Ocean resources.

                 Cost and funding figures refer to two separate categories of "309" funds; that is, "weighted formula" funds and
                 "project of special merit" funds. "Other" funding sources are also identified. This is because the total amount of
                 "309" funding available to Oregon is not large enough to pay for all of the proposed projects.

                 The following chart provides a fiscal year summary of the "309 funds" and "other" finding represented by the
                 projects in this report:

                 Three appendices are also provided in this document. The first describes Oregon's revised "periodic review"
                 process. This is the principal mechanism within the Statewide Land Use Planning Process for keeping local
                 comprehensive plans up to date and responsive to changing conditions. The second appendix briefly discusses the
                 potential effects on the Coastal Resources Management Program of proposed reductions in state government
                 funding and work force. The third contains a fiscal year cost summary chart for all of the proposed strategies.

                                                     Adverse Effects


                   Priority Program Enhancements


                   The Oregon 309 Assessment identified six categories of program enhancements to address cumulative and
                   secondary effects of development:

                        Improved protection and management of coastal shoreland resources;

                        Improved management of urban growth within urban growth boundaries;

                        Minimize the impact of new public facilities on the coastal environment;

                        Revision of comprehensive plans to reflect changing economic and demographic conditions;

                        Improved protection for habitat of threatened and endangered species; and

                        Watershed-based water quality protection program.


                   Strategy'A: Improved Protection and Management of Coastal
                   Shoreland Resources


                   Proposed Program Changes

                   The department will assist local governments to amend their comprehensive plans during the periodic review
                   process (see Appendix A). The revised local comprehensive plans and ordinances will incorporate natural resource
                   protection policies and standards. The policies and standards will provide better protection of sensitive shoreline
                   resources including riparian vegetation, wetlands, stream corridors, and significant wildlife habitat.

                   This strategy addresses federal 309 Cumulative and Secondary Impacts Programmatic Sub-Objective La regarding
                   improvements to coastal land use planning processes to protect valuable coastal resources.

                   The best opportunities for protection of sensitive coastal resources is through identification and protection of such
                   resources in plans. Inventories, plans and ordinances which clearly require protection of specific areas send clear
                   signals to the development community about development potential. Clear plan language provides increased
                   predictability, both for resource protection and about appropriate locations for new coastal development.
                   Work Plan Summary

                   This strategy has two principal components: (1) inventorying the sensitive resources at risk and (2) developing and
                   adopting protective policies and standards. A combined effort of several state agencies and local governments will
                   be needed to define riparian vegetation and scenic views along the ocean shore, as well as significant wedand and
                   biological habitat. The inventory will be prepared on a coastwide basis to assure consistency in identifying



                                                                                .2-

                  important resource areas. Local governments will also need examples of ordinance standards and procedures to use
                  in siting development along the ocean shore.

                  The first year of the program would develop inventory methodology and standards and test the standards. This
                  would include a coordinated review by state agencies, local governments and interested groups and individuals.
                  Depending on resources available, the second year and third year would prepare the inventories. Priority would go
                  to areas with high growth pressures and which are scheduled for periodic review in the near future. Year two would
                  also include preparation of model ordinances for protection of sensitive resources. Coincident with preparation of
                  the inventory would be development of periodic review standards addressing coastal shoreline resources. Third and
                  subsequent years will use periodic review to incorporate inventories and standards into comprehensive plans.

                  Major work products include: a draft and final inventory methodology and standards, a survey of current ordinance
                  standards for protection of sensitive shoreline resources, completed inventory maps, model ordinances, periodic
                  review standards related to coastal shoreline resources, and revised local plan policies and ordinances for protection
                  of costal shoreline resources.

                  Preparation of inventory standards will require approximately $45,000. Preparation of detailed coastwide
                  inventories of shoreline resources Will cost between $100,000 and $225,000 depending upon the level of detail, the
                  area covered and the amount of new information generated as part of the inventory process. To minimize costs the
                  state will: (1) use existing base maps (the beach zone aerial photos); (2) focus inventory effort on areas most subject
                  to development pressure; (3) coordination with other inventory efforts, such as the Highway 101 corridor plan; and
                  (4) development of clear and objective inventory techniques. Development of model ordinances will cost $30,000 to
                  $40,000. Assistance to local governments to adopt revised ordinances will cost $75,OW-$100,OW.

                  Likelihood of Success

                  Goals 17 and 18 already include clear standards for protection of coastal shoreline resources. However,
                  implementation of these standards has been hampered by inadequate inventories of sensitive resources and by local
                  ordinances which lack sufficient precision to either fully identify or protect sensitive resources. The new periodic
                  review process gives DLCD sufficient authority to assure that plans are revised to both respond to new information
                  and to correct clear inadequacies in local ordinances.


                  Fiscal Year 1992 Work Program
                  ï¿½ Task A. 1-92: Inventoty Standards for Sensitive Coastal Resources

                  Type:            309 "weighted formula" funding and non-309 funding.

                  Description:     The assessment shows that new and more detailed inventories of sensitive shoreline resources are
                                   needed. This task is a necessary first step to obtaining the needed inventories. The state will
                                   prepare inventory standards for identification and mapping of sensitive coastal shoreline
                                   resources. Key subtasks under this task include:

                                         Identification of types of sensitive shoreline resources which have not been adequately
                                         inventoried or addressed in local comprehensive plans. This would include an evaluation of
                                         existing plans to determine the extent of inventories in existing local plans.




                                                                           -3-






                                  Oregon Coastal Management. Enhancements -- Cumulative Effects


                                ï¿½   Develop inventory standards with assistance of affected state agencies, local governments,
                                    and interested groups and individuals.

                                ï¿½   Surveying existing local plans and other sources of information to identify both inventory
                                    standards and ordinance techniques for protection of sensitive coastal shoreline resources.

                                This project will include inventory standards for wetlands to assist in implementing the strategy
                                for wetlands protection.

               Benchmarks:      By September 30, 1992, develop detailed work program, hire contractor or staff, establish
                                advisory group. By December 31, 1992, identify categories of sensitive shoreline resources which
                                have not been adequately inventoried or protected through existing local comprehensive plans. By
                                March 31, 1993, complete draft inventory standards and methodology. By June 30, 1993,
                                complete inventory standards.

               Costs:           $45,000 (personal service contract or DLCD staff).

                                Funding sources:

               ï¿½ Task A-2-92: Pilot Project Inventory of Sensitive Coastal Resources

               Type:            309 "project of special merit" funding.

               Description:     This will be a demonstration project to identify sensitive coastal resources in an urban area or
                                subarea of a county. The area selected will be an area which is undergoing growth pressure and
                                which is either scheduled for periodic review in the near future or has made a commitment to
                                amend its plan to protect sensitive coastal resources. The project will involve assembling available
                                inventory information and maps, preparing a draft inventory, reviewing the inventory with
                                affected agencies, the local planning commission and elected officials and the general public.

                                Wetlands mapping and mapping of geologic hazards done as part of this project will also help
                                implement the strategies for improved wetland protection and improved management of
                                development in geological hazard areas.

                                The product will be a completed inventory of sensitive coastal resources for use by the affected
                                local government. The inventory would map the location of key shoreline resources on the Parks
                                and Recreation Department's beach zone aerial photos (scale of V= 200 feet). Inventoried
                                resources would include:

                                    Riparian vegetation;

                                    Wetlands and significant biological habitat;

                                    Small coastal streams, including riparian vegetation and wetlands along such streams; and

                                    Other areas along the ocean shore which provide exceptional aesthetic experience.

                                Agencies which would need to be involved include: Division of State Lands (for wetlands,
                                riparian vegetation), Department of Fish and Wildlife (wetlands, habitat, riparian vegetation),
                                Department of Forestry (Riparian Vegetation), Department of Geology & Mineral Industries
                                (geologic hazards), State Parks and Recreation (scenic views), Federal Emergency Management
                                Agency (geologic hazards).

                                by each local government.

                                The results of such efforts are readily transferable to other local government. This approach is
                                usually very successful because it establishes procedures and standards which match the
                                administrative capabilities of smaller local governments. The pilot project will, illustrate the issues
                                involved in inventorying sensitive coastal resources and help test the adequacy of inventory
                                techniques and standards for the rest of the coast. The project will demonstrate simple cost
                                effective inventory techniques and provide a basis for testing inventory standards developed in
                                task 1.

                Benchmarks:     By September 30, 1992, selection of a target area; preparation of a detailed work program for the

                Type:           309 "weighted formula" funding and non-309 funding.

                Description:    This project would map sensitive shoreline resources on a coastwide basis using the inventory
                                standards developed in FY 92-93. The inventory would map the location of key shoreline
                                resources on the Parks and Recreation Department's beach zone aerial photos (scale of I "= 200
                                feet). Inventoried resources would include:

                                     Riparian vegetation;

                                     Wetlands and significant biological habitat;

                                     Small coastal streams, including riparian vegetation and wetlands along such streams; and

                                     Other areas along the ocean shore which provide exceptional aesthetic experience.

                                The inventory would trigger periodic review requirements for protection of sensitive resources.

                Benchmarks:     By September 30, 1993, preparation of a detailed work program for the inventory; selection of a
                                contractor to conduct the inventory. By December 31, 1993, preparation of base maps (beach zone
                                photos) and initial inventories of sensitive coastal resources. By March 31, 1994, meetings with
                                local governments, agencies, and interested groups and individuals to review draft maps; revised
                                draft maps. By June 30, 1994, completed inventory including maps and written report for the
                                inventoried area.

                Costs:          Costs are estimated at $ 100,000 to 250,000 for contractual services.

                                Actual costs will depend on the area covered and the specifications in the inventory methodology.
                                Priority areas for mapping are those subject to development pressure, with a high likelihood of
                                sensitive resources and which are scheduled for periodic review in the near future.

                  Type:            309 "project of special merit" funding.
                  Description:     This project will develop model ordinance procedures and standards for protection of shoreline
                                   resources.


                                   This would involve reviewing existing local ordinances and other similar ordinances in use in the
                                   state and elsewhere. Examples of other ordinances include Willamette River Greenway
                                   ordinances, state scenic waterway requirements and shoreline overlay requirements in use in other
                                   states. Preparation of the model ordinance would be coordinated with local governments and
                                   affected state agencies and interest groups.

                  Benchmarks:      By September 30, 1993, establishment of an advisory committee, preparation of a detailed work
                                   program for the ordinance and contractor selection. By December 31, 1993, preparation of a draft
                                   ordinance. By March 31, 1994, meetings with local governments, agencies, and interested groups
                                   and individuals to review draft ordinance. By June 30, 1994, a completed draft ordinance and
                                   recommendations for ordinance implementation, possibly including rulemaking by LCDC.

                  Fiscal Year 1994 Work Program
                  ï¿½ Task A. 1-94: Coastwide Mapping of Sensitive Shoreline Resources

                  Type:            309 "weighted formula" funding and non-309 funding.

                  Description:     This project would map sensitive shoreline resources on a coastwide basis using the inventory
                                   standards developed in FY 92-93. The inventory would map the location of key shoreline
                                   resources on the Parks and Recreation Department's beach zone aerial photos (scale of 1"= 200
                                   feet). (See detailed description in Task A. 1-93.)

                                   This would be a continuation of the Tasks A. 1-93 and A.2-92 described above with mapping
                                   scheduled for lower priority areas.

                  Costs:           $75,000 (personal services).

                                   (The actual amount will depend on the inventory methodology and the amount of work deferred
                                   from the previous year.)

                                   Funding sources:

                  Type:            Non-309 ftinding.

                  This task would provide financial assistance for local governments to incorporate the inventories into their
                  comprehensive plans and adopt revised ordinances for protection of sensitive coastal resources.

                  Total costs will be $60,000. Up to ten grants would be made in FY 1994 at an average cost of $5,000 to $7,500. This
                  would support local staff to adopt the mapping and provide training for application of the model ordinance to
                  development proposals.

                   This task would develop evaluation questions to be used by local governments during periodic review to assess the
                   adequacy of their existing inventories and ordinances for protection of sensitive shoreline resources. Application of
                   the standards through the periodic review process would trigger requirements to adopt the revised inventory
                   information and to adopt appropriate ordinance changes.

                   Total costs would be $11,000 (personal services, 3 pm, DLCD staff).


                   Strategy B: Improved Management of Urban Growth Within
                   Urban Growth Boundaries


                   Proposed Program Changes

                   Revised state rules and amendments to local comprehensive plans for managing urban growth to assure compact,
                   efficient growth within urban growth boundaries. This will include requirements for reconsideration of land use
                   patterns, detailed plans for coordinated provision of needed public facilities provision.

                   This strategy addresses federal 309 Cumulative and Secondary Impacts Programmatic Sub-Objective La regarding
                   improvements to coastal land use planning processes to protect valuable coastal resources.

                   Justification

                   The 309 Assessment shows that the major reasons for rural development and underbuilding in urban areas are
                   inadequate implementation of the plans for development within urban areas. By improving state policies for
                   planning within urban growth boundaries and through amendments to local comprehensive plans the state will
                   reduce pressure on rural and resource lands.

                   Changes to local comprehensive plans are the most appropriate way implement this strategy for several reasons. The
                   basic structure for accommodating growth is in place through local comprehensive plans. The proposed changes
                   consolidate and improve local governments ability to accommodate growth. Building upon local capabilities is
                   critical because ggod planning begins at the local level.

                   Work Plan Summary

                   This strategy involves the development and adoption of revised state land use policies under Statewide Planning
                   Goal 14 and implementation of revised policies by local governments. This, strategy will include state and local
                   policies which:

                        Sequence growth to achieve land use plan density objectives, focus public infrastructure investments, and
                        encourage the provision of parks and other public facilities;

                        Systematize the division of functions between cities and special districts and lower barriers to annexation;

                        Centralize local lead responsibility for growth management to improve its effectiveness;

                        Facilitate infill and redevelopment in urbanized areas;

                        Foster improved community design; and

                        Encourage local governments to revisit their comprehensive plans and amend them to incorporate the mixed-
                        use, neo-traditional neighborhood design development model.

                   The project would also Iinvolve provision of financial and technical assistance to a coastal urban area to develop and
                   adopt policies implementing several or all of the policies outlined above.

                  Likelihood of Success

                  The state has demonstrated a continuing commitment to the use of urban growth boundaries to manage development
                  pressure. The policy and plan changes identified in this project respond to identified problems in managing urban
                  growth. Promoting livable communities is a priority for Governor despite state budget problems. Meeting state
                  benchmarks for livable communities will require tools to better manage urban growth. The 1991 Governor's
                  Conference on Urban Growth Management and the results of DLCD's Urban Growth Management Study, confirm
                  and reinforce the importance of urban growth management as a political issue. Also, to the extent that the urban
                  growth management project helps address how new public facilities needed to support growth will be funded it
                  helps address the state's leading political issue of reforming the state's system of governmental finance.

                  Taken together, these factors demonstrate a strong state commitment to better urban growth management.

                  This project will result in the preparation of revised transportation system plan including plan policies and

                  identify a system of local street and transportation improvements which reduces reliance on the automobile and
                  dependence on Highway 101 to meet local travel needs. The plan will include:

                         Designation of a local street network to provide alternative routes for local travel, including pedestrian and
                         bicyclists.

                         Changes to land use patterns and designations which reduce orientation of development to Highway 101. This
                         will include land use designations which provide for pedestrian oriented development centers for retail and
                         tourist oriented businesses as an alternative to strip commercial development.

                         Identification of sensitive coastal resources which may be affected by proposed transportation improvements
                         and identification of alternatives or mitigation measures.

                         Local street design standards which incorporate identified local issues, needs of pedestrians and cyclists, and
                         impacts on sensitive coastal resources.

                                         Oregon Coastal Management Enhancements -- Cumulative Effects


                    Strategy C:            Watershed-Based Water Quality Protection
                    Program


                    Proposed Program Changes

                    The Watershed Protection Strategy will result in a blueprint and basic structure for Oregon's Coastal Nonpoint
                    Pollution Control Program (CNPCP) required by Section 6217 of the 1990 Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization
                    Amendments. The strategy addresses an environmental concern of national scope and importance. Depending on the
                    nature and extent of the final CNPCP guidance, the Watershed Protection Strategy may fully meet those federal
                    requirements.

                    The Watershed Protec  tion Strategy will result, first, in state agency adoption and implementation of a coastal
                    watershed protection policy; and second, in local comprehensive plan provisions designed to reduce nonpoint source
                    pollution in coastal watersheds. The purposes of the strategy are to identify local land use decisions that provide an
                    opportunity to reduce the water quality effects of land use activities, and to develop methods to reduce such impacts.

                    The exact content of local plan revisions will not be entirely clear until initial stages of the strategy are completed.
                    At the outset, activities that result in nonpoint source pollution -- and the state and local planning decisions that
                    support, approve, or otherwise encourage such activities -- will be identified. Only when the activities are identified
                    will methods to control their water quality impacts through comprehensive plan revisions be developed.

                    The strategy addresses Section 309 Cumulative and Secondary Impacts programmatic sub-objective La regarding
                    improved coastal land use planning processes to protect valuable coastal resources.

                    The watershed protection policy will require that sensitive coastal watersheds be protected by local comprehensive
                    plans. Sensitive watersheds will be identified through a community-based Watershed Assessment project.
                    Ultimately, planning guidance and model ordinances will address specific nonpoint source pollutants and specific
                    land use activities. Local jurisdictions will adopt provisions applicable to identified problems and specific
                    watersheds during Periodic Review.

                    Other results of Strategy C include the following:

                         Updated inventory of nonpoint source pollution problems and sensitive watersheds in coastal basins.

                         Local plan policies to assist in watershed protection and the control of nonpoint source pollution.

                         Local ordinance provisions that require consideration of water quality impacts of land use activities in certain
                         coastal watersheds.

                         Technical support and guidance on watershed protection for citizens and local governments.

                    Ultimately, this strategy will result in cleaner water and improved habitat in Oregon's coastal watersheds.
                    The Watershed Protection Strategy will renew both the intent in Statewide Planning Goal 6 to reduce cumulative
                    water quality effects of coastal land and resource uses, and the *intent in the federal Clean Water Act and the federal
                    Coastal Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments to control nonpoint source pollution.

                    Justification

                    The Watershed Protection Strategy will address and meet most of the priority program enhancements concerning
                    water quality identified in the 309 Assessment. Enhancements to be satisfied include the following:

                         Verify the existence of nonpoint source problems. ... identified problems must be validated by communities
                         before pollution control programs can anticipate success.

                    4    Increase the water quality monitoring network in coastal basins.       identify water quality problems that can be
                         solved through a variety of individual and community efforts.



                                                                                   10-

                        Review, supplement, and substantiate the data on nonpoint source pollution problems in coastal basins.
                        Increase emphasis on an integrated, comprehensive approach -- a watershed approach -- to protecting water
                        quality in coastal basins.

                        Target problem watersheds and water quality problems in,coastal basins.

                        Increase community perception and recognition of nonpoint problems in coastal watersheds.

                        Increase coordination and integration of water quality programs and land use planning programs at the local
                        level. ...

                        Help local planning and development authorities become more vigilant for opportunities to prevent nonpoint
                        source pollution.

                        Provide integrated state-level support for a cifizen-based watershed approach to protecting water quality.

                        Increase public awareness of water pollution that results from a variety of individual activities.

                        Integrate various state and federal water quality control resources -- expertise, grants, data, programs, and
                        project contacts -- into a comprehensive watershed approach to solving persistent coastal water quality
                        problems.

                   These program enhancements share three themes, which the strategy will address. First, the information base for
                   planning and for the proposed program changes must be updated. The strategy is based on an inventory project that
                   will integrate information on both water and watershed quality.

                   Second, the success of a coastal water quality program will substantially rely upo n informed and involved
                   communities. Consequently, the strategy includes a substantial community involvement component.

                   And third, Oregon's several water quality programs must present a watershed approach that can in turn be integrated
                   into local plans. The strategy will result in materials that place water quality issues in the context of watershed uses
                   and integrity. Ultimately, the documents will focus on local planning and permit processes. Local projects and
                   programs -- things that can most consistently affect activities on the ground -- provide the most appropriate
                   foundation for a watershed protection strategy.
                   Work Plan Summary

                   The Watershed Protection Strategy will be developed through the results of three interrelated multi-year projects, of
                   which two are to be funded by section 309 funds.

                   The first project -- developing a Coastal Watershed Assessment -- will build from the 1988 Nonpoint Source
                   Pollution Assessment completed by the Oregon Department of Envirorunental Quality. It will be a three-year
                   project. The purpose of the project will be to complete an inventory that goes beyond water quality data to assess
                   watershed quality. As such, the inventory will identify coastal resource use limitations in coastal watersheds. In
                   FY92, data in the nonpoint source assessment will be updated for coastal basins. In FY93, the 1988 Nonpoint
                   Source Assessment for coastal basins will become a Watershed Assessment. Coastal land uses will be digitally
                   mapped, and basins and sub-basins that need increased watershed protection will be identified. Expertise and
                   information in the Oregon Department of Forestry and other agencies will be used to develop criteria for identifying
                   and ranking sensitive watersheds. Model policies and local ordinances will also be developed during FY93. In
                   FY94, the Watershed Assessment will be completed.

                   The second project is to develop a Coastal Watershed Protection Manual. The Manual will provide guidance on
                   watershed protection for use in local planning decisions. This project will continue the work of the Coquille Near
                   Coastal Water Quality Project as a demonstration project to develop and implement local watershed protection
                   activities. In FY 92, the project will support the work of a Community Advisory Committee to identify nonpoint
                   source problems in the Coquille basin. Local comprehensive plans' effects and potential effects on water quality
                   will be identified. In FY 93, with the help of draft watershed assessment information and, again, the information and
                   expertise in state resource agencies, the project will help the CCAC develop a nonpoint source control plan. Model
                   ordinance provisions will be identified or developed, and reviewed by the Community Advisory Committee.
                   Finally, in FY 94, the Coquille work will be generalized for application in other basins. The final Watershed
                   Protection Manual will identify actions that can be taken at the local level to control or prevent NPS pollution.


                                                                              _11-





                                          Oregon Coastai Management Enhancements -- Cumulative Effects


                   The third project will institute a community involvement and information. program. This project is critical to the
                   success of the strategy. Starting in January 1993, 309 funds will be used to develop informational materials and to
                   publish a quarterly newsletter on watershed issues. A series of public meetings will be scheduled in which the
                   updated NPS database will be reviewed in order to validate the basis for the Coastal Watershed Assessment. In the
                   process, the project will try to increase the public's knowledge of -- and concern for -- nonpoint source pollution and
                   watershed management issues. In the following three years, the project will begin a citizen-based "Watershed
                   Watch" program in coastal communities. Ultimately, "Watershed Watch" will provide resource managers with water
                   quality and watershed monitoring data that are not now available for making local planning decisions.

                   Likelihood of Success

                   Success in implementing a Coastal Watershed Protection Strategy depends largely on successful citizen education
                   and involvement. Recent water quality work on Oregon's South Coast revealed that citizen support for government
                   programs depends entirely on local community awareness and validation of water quality problems. Thus this
                   strategy relies on a full public information, participation, and watershed monitoring program.

                   Existing support for coastal watershed protection is scattered, but it is highly committed to stewardship values.
                   Support is evident in such programs as Salmon and Trout Enhancement Projects (STEP), the Governor's Watershed
                   Enhancement Board (GWEB), Shellfish Growers Advisory Groups, and various groups interested in protecting
                   habitat for recreational fisheries. These groups will be key players in developing a more comprehensive coastal
                   watershed protection strategy.

                   However, the present level of support is insufficient to guarantee its universal acceptance. Naturally, many groups
                   and interests may resist imposed changes. Recreational vehicle owners, logging road builders, road maintenance
                   crews, farmers, loggers, and homebuilders -- the cornerstones of Oregon's coastal communities -- will appropriately
                   resist changes imposed on the way they have acted for thirty years, if they have not been involved in identifying,
                   validating, or otherwise defining the problems that compel the change and potential alternatives. In the end,
                   nonpoint source pollution cannot be effectively controlled by regulation alone; Oregon's success will build on broad
                   public discussion, education, and involvement.

                   Updated information is also important to the success of the strategy. The Coastal Watershed Assessment will more
                   than meet the need for an updated nonpoint source database.

                   Finally, adoption of model plan provisions, and their use in local planning and development decisions, will rely on
                   the support of local planners and public officials. The Strategy will establish an advisory group of local planners for
                   ongoing discussions about all aspects of the strategy.

                                                                                  -12-






                                          Oregon Coastal Management Enhancements                Cumulative Effects


                                      An updated 1988 Assessment of Nonpoint Source Pollution Problems will be the first element of
                                      a two-year water quality assessment. It will provide a foundation, in the third year, for a
                                      comprehensive and more usable watershed assessment.

                                      Most of the coastal comprehensive plans refer to a nonpoint source pollution assessment that is
                                      now nearly fifteen years old. By the time coastal jurisdictions enter into Periodic Review, the
                                      more recent 1988 Oregon Statewide Assessment of Nonpoint Sources of Water Pollution will also
                                      be out of date. Water quality authorities in Oregon insist that water quality data must be verified
                                      and validated by communities before they can become the basis for community water quality
                                      planning. We agree.

                                      A comprehensive Watershed Assessment will provide citizens and local p1mers with a focus for
                                      total watershed management, rather than simply water quality control efforts. An updated 1988
                                      Nonpoint Source Assessment will provide a foundation for the watershed assessment.

                                      A Watershed Assessment for coastal basins will result in a vastly improved inventory over what is
                                      now available for water quality elements in local plans. Development of the Watershed
                                      Assessment will provide the basis for a comprehensive citizen involvement program.

                                      This update is essential to the development of a watershed assessment and subsequent measures to
                                      improve water quality. A comprehensive Watershed Assessment will provide a national model for
                                      watershed protection.

                   nonpoint source element to an ongoing near coastal water quality demonstration project. It will provide a proving
                   ground for the results of the related projects in this strategy.

                   Description:       Ibis is the first of a multi-year task which will turn into a citizen-based watershed and water
                                      quality monitoring program in the third year. The project is to begin in the second half of the first
                                      year (FY92) of the strategy, after initial work has been completed on updating the nonpoint source
                                      data.

                                      The nonpoint source assessment (see Task C. 1-92) update requires extensive meetings in coastal
                                      communities to validate existing data. The Community involvement Program will draw upon
                                      experience from the Coquille Near Coastal Water Quality Demonstration Project (Task C.2-92)
                                      for use in other communities and basins. The community involvement program is crucial to the
                                      timely and successful development of the federally-required CNPCP as soon as final federal
                                      guidance is released.

                                    Since all nonpoint source control efforts rely on changing the way people do things, they must be
                                    based on a strong program of community participation. This project will provide that foundation
                                    for all nonpoint source control and watershed management efforts in the coastal zone.

                  Description            Develop and implement a citizen-based "Watershed Watch" volunteer monitoring program
                                         in north coast, middle coast, and south coast watersheds.

                                         With the assistance of state and federal agencies and local schools, develop training
                                         materials and reporting instructions and protocols for citizen water quality monitoring.

                                         Help develop basin-specific plans to address high priority watershed problems identified in
                                         the Coastal Watershed Assessment.

                                         Develop incentives to continue volunteer interest.

                   "Non-309" Strategies


                   Due to funding limitations in the 309 Program, three of Oregon's cumulative effects strategies are proposed for
                   funding from non-309 sources. These strategies are briefly described below to better provide a complete context of
                   the overall package of proposed enhancements to the Oregon coastal program.
                   Strategy D: Minimize the Impact of New Public Facilities On the Coastal
                   Environment

                   This strategy will result in amendments to comprehensive plans and/or state agency rules, plans and programs for
                   siting of public facilities in the coastal zone. Comprehensive plan changes will include changes to land use
                   designations and public facility plans. Changes to state agency rules, plans and programs will change requirements
                   for siting and approval of new public facilities. The result of these changes will be to locate public facilities to either
                   avoid or minimize impacts on sensitive shoreline resources.

                                     Oregon Coastal Management Enhancements -- Cumulative Effects


                 Approximately $40,000 in contractual services would be needed.
                 Strategy E: Revision of Comprehensive Plans To Reflect Changing Economic
                 and Demographic Conditions

                 This strategy will amend local comprehensive plans to plan and zone appropriate and adequate amounts of land to
                 meet identified needs for likely industrial, commercial and residential uses. Amendments will be based on updated
                 economic and demographic forecasts. This will cost $40,000 to $60,000. Population forecasts will be based largely
                 on analysis of 1990 census data. Economic forecasts will review and update 1980's studies based on recent trends
                 and expected developments in each of the affected sectors.
                 Strategy F: Improved Protection For Habitat of Threatened and Endangered
                 Species

                 This strategy will adopt "habitat protection and enhancement plans" for threatened and endangered species by local
                 governments and the affected agencies. Candidate species of specific interest include: the Pink Sand Verbena, the
                 Snowy Plover, and the Silverspot Butterfly. These species are each of specific significance because threatened
                 habitats are on or adjacent to the ocean shore. Development of plans will cost approximately $35,000 to $50,000 per
                 species. Some savings may be possible if inventory and review processes can be consolidated since similar expertise
                 and many of the same agencies will be involved for each species.

                                    Coastal Natural Hazards


                  Priority Program Enhancements


                  Coastal natural hazard program improvement needs can be grouped into three general categories: 1) Hazard Policy;
                  2) Hazard Assessment; and 3) Hazard Awareness. The paramount need is to make progress in policy development
                  and implementation. However, success cannot be achieved in this area without progress in the other two areas:
                  Effective policies require a sound technical base and broad public acceptance.


                  Strategy For Improved Management


                  Proposed Program Changes

                  The proposed program changes address all three of the federal 309 Coastal Hazards Programmatic Grant Objectives
                  (i.e. to direct development away from hazardous areas, to preserve and restore protective functions of the natural
                  shoreline, and to prevent or minimize threats to existing populations and property from coastal natural hazards).
                  Over the short term (1-2 years), the emphasis will be on program changes that enhance the effectiveness of existing,
                  coastal natural hazards policies. Specifically, program changes will be carried out in the areas of site-specific
                  geotechnical reporting, hazard mitigation, and foredune management. Over the longer term (3-5 years), the
                  emphasis will be on program changes which expand the existing coastal zone management framework so as to
                  address the entire spectrum of natural hazards that affect the Oregon coast. Program changes will consist of
                  amendments to local comprehensive plans, implementing ordinances and inventories; state rule - goal - statute
                  revisions; and consolidation of agency functions (see also Appendix B).

                  Justification

                  Because local government is the level at which most decisions are made, the strategy is directed at developing
                  program changes which can be implemented at this level. Because state agencies also play an important role in
                  decision making, the strategy also includes program changes which can be implemented at this level. Program
                  changes at the state level are most likely to take the form of rule and/or goal revisions as opposed to statutory
                  revisions, since statutes generally lack necessary specificity. However, if new enabling legislation is found to be
                  necessary, it will be proposed.
                  Work Plan Summary

                  Oregon's coastal natural hazards strategy accomplishes program changes in a multi-year work plan by
                  simultaneously moving forward on work tasks in each of the three improvement categories identified in the
                  Assessment (Figure CNH 1). In each improvement category the following tasks have been identified:

                   Likelihood of Success

                   Focus groups at a recent conference on coastal natural hazards in Newport identified the following as needed
                   improvements "that might have a real chance of being adopted and carried out in today's fiscal and political
                   climate": 1) establish an independent peer review process of geotechnical reports; 2) establish site-specific ,                    I
                   construction setbacks and other hazard mitigation procedures for siting development on all unbuilt lots; and 3)
                   establish 'littoral cell management plans' for each fittoral cell along the Oregon coast. Each of these recommended
                   improvements is included in Oregon's coastal natural hazards strategy. This indicates not only a high degree of
                   existing support for Oregon's strategy among individuals with a wide range of interests, but also a sentiment among
                   these individuals that the likelihood of success of the proposed program changes is high. Representatives from other
                   stakelholding agencies (i.e. Parks and Recreation Department, Division of State Lands, Department of Geology and
                   Mineral Industries and Oregon State University Extension Sea Grant) have actively participated in the development
                   of the 309 strategy and have committed to its ftiture implementation. This is also an indication of the high degree of
                   support that exists for Oregon's coastal natural hazards strategy and proposed program changes.

                   Actions to maintain and build support are an integral part of Oregon's coastal natural hazards management strategy.
                   The Policy Working Group was convened to address needs identified at the coastal natural hazards conference in
                   Newport.  The Policy Working Group will serve as a forum for those who have a stake in the policies that guide
                   beach protection, shoreline development, and hazard mitigation. It will systematically consider relevant information,
                   define issues, and develop and evaluate alternatives. The Policy Working Group will ensure that Oregon's coastal
                   natural hazards strategy program changes are developed and implemented from a broad base of support. Support for
                   this effort is included as a specific task in Oregon's coastal natural hazards strategy. Further, hazard awareness and
                   hazard assessment are distinct elements of Oregon's coastal natural hazards strategy. The work to be accomplished
                   in these two areas will ensure that program changes in the area of hazard policy are politically acceptable and
                   technically sound, and thus have a high likelihood of success.


                                                                               -20-





                                               Oregon Coastal Management Enhancements -- Hazards


                  Finally, Oregon's past 306 performance has been excellent. The pilot foredune management study that the
                  department conducted at Nedonna Beach is a good example. In this effort, management of the foredune enhanced
                  the protective functions of the natural foredune and minimized threats to existing property from sand inundation.

                  Thus, the high degree of existing support and the strong actions being taken to maintain and build upon this support,
                  together with past 306 performance, indicates that there is a high likelihood of success in achieving the objectives of
                  Oregon's coastal natural hazards strategy.


                  Fiscal Year 1992 Work Program

                      Task A 1. 1-92: Support of Policy Working Group

                  Type:              309 "weighted formula" funding and non-309 funding.

                  Description:       The Policy Working Group consists of 21 people who represent different perspectives and
                                     interests - oceanfront property owners, developers and their consultants, local officials and
                                     planners, coastal resource managers, educators, the beach-using public, and others. Because of its
                                     role in policy development, the Policy Working Group is an essential part of Oregon's coastal
                                     natural hazards strategy.

                                     Using consensus-building and other innovative group processes, the Policy Working Group will
                                     define the issues and problems that need to be addressed, formulate and evaluate alternative
                                     solutions, and recommend preferred alternatives to solve identified problems. The principal focus
                                     of this unique group is on policies related to beach erosion, ocean flooding, and related upland
                                     development. The Policy Working Group will also consider possible policy responses to
                                     earthquakes and related hazards such as ground shaking, liquefaction of soils, major landslides,
                                     and tsunami inundation. Local comprehensive plan implementing ordinance amendments, and
                                     state rule - goal - statute revisions will be the mechanisms used to implement Policy Working
                                     Group recommendations.

                                     Policy Working Group efforts will be supplemented by those of a Technical Advisory and an
                                     Educational Advisory Committee. These two bodies will be comprised of members of the larger
                                     Policy Working Group and other individuals as needed. The role of the Technical Advisory
                                     Committee will be to provide guidance to the Policy Working Group on technical aspects of
                                     policy development as well as to evaluate the technical merits of the hazard assessment tasks.
                                     Similarly, the role of the Educational Advisory Committee will be to provide guidance to the
                                     Policy Working Group on communication and education aspects of policy development as well as
                                     to evaluate the educational merits of the hazard awareness tasks.

                                                 Oregon Coastal Management Enhancements -- Hazards


                    Description:        The objective of this task is to develop and implement quality control criteria and procedures for
                                        site-specific geotechnical reports. DLCD efforts already under way will be combined with Policy
                                        Working Group recommendations to develop model geotechnical report content standards and
                                        peer review procedures. Model ordinances will be prepared for implementation at the local level
                                        through plan amendments or during periodic review, and/or at the state level through rule or
                                        statutory revisions.

                                        The Assessment found that there are insufficient standards for the content of site-specific
                                        geotechnical reports and there is no independent or other peer review of geotechnical reports. Yet
                                        in most instances, site-specific geotechnical reports are the sole basis for decisions on whether
                                        development should occur in a hazardous location or if structural solutions to shoreline erosion are
                                        necessary. The development and use of site-specific geotechnical report content standards and
                                        peer review procedures will address these findings. These program changes will result in an
                                        improved ability to direct development away from hazardous areas and to prevent or minimize
                                        'threats to existing populations and property from coastal natural hazards along the entire Oregon
                                        coast.


                    Benchmarks:         Development of quality control criteria and procedures will commence immediately. A review of
                                        geotechnical report content standards and peer review procedures used elsewhere in the nation
                                        will be carried out in the first quarter of the grant period. The results of this review will be
                                        summarized in a document. During the second and third quarters'of the grant period drafts of
                                        model geotechnical report content standards and peer review procedures documents will be
                                        prepared and reviewed. Final drafts of model geotechnical report content standards and peer
                                        review procedures will be prepared in the fourth quarter of the grant period. Implementation will
                                        commence in fiscal year 1993. This work will be carried out on contract and supplemented by
                                        Policy Working Group and DLCD staff efforts.

                    Type:               309 "project of special merit" funding and non-309 funding.

                    Description:        The objective of this task is to develop model foredune grading enforcement ordinances. Such
                                        ordinances will be implemented at the local level through the plan amendment process or during
                                        periodic review. In the larger context of foredune management planning, goal revisions and/or rule
                                        writing may result from this task.

                                        The Assessment found that the inadequacy of local enforcement ordinances, among other factors,
                                        has left communities facing sand inundation problems with little incentive to carry out foredune
                                        management pLw. As a result, ad-hoc alterations of the natural foredune by individual property
                                        owners continues on a regular basis. The development and use of foredune grading enforcement
                                        ordinances will address these findings. These program changes will result in an improved ability
                                        to preserve and restore protective functions of the natural shoreline and to prevent or minimize
                                        threats to existing populations and property from coastal natural hazards along the entire Oregon
                                        coast.


                                        The Department has supported a successful foredune management plan at Nedonna Beach under
                                        the 306 Grant Program. DLCD staff are already providing enhanced technical assistance as a
                                        means to encourage foredune, management planning in areas suffering from sand inundation. The
                                        development and use of foredune grading enforcement ordinances is a continuation of these
                                        innovative efforts and will contribute significantly to them. Since natural ocean flood and storm



                                                                                   -22-

                                     protective features will be enhanced at the same time as threats to existing property from sand

                                     inundation/illegal dune grading is a problem in several areas along the Oregon coast, the results of
                                     this effort will be transferable to multiple jurisdictions in Oregon. Results will also be applicable
                                     elsewhere in the nation where development exists on dune-fronted beaches.

                  Benchmarks:        Development of foredune grading enforcement ordinances will commence immediately.
                                     Implementation will commence in approximately twelve months. Research of foredune grading
                                     enforcement procedures used elsewhere in the nation will be carried out in the first quarter of the
                                     grant period. Research on past legal and illegal foredune grading activities will also be carried out
                                     in the first quarter. This latter information will be used to determine which areas an enforcement
                                     ordinance is most needed. During the second and third quarters of the grant period, drafts of a
                                     model foredune grading enforcement ordinance will be prepared and reviewed. The final draft of a
                                     model foredune grading enforcement ordinance will be prepared in the fourth quarter of the grant
                                     period. Implementation will commence in fiscal year 1993. This work win be carried out on
                                     contract and supplemented by Policy Working Group and DLCD staff efforts.

                  Description:       The objective of this task is to develop a standardized methodology for determining the magnitude
                                     of shoreline instability resulting from the individual and combined effects of the suite of chronic
                                     hazards that affect the Oregon coast (e.g. ocean flooding, wave-induced erosion, landsliding).
                                     standardized methodology developed under this task will be applied to a 50 krn section of the
                                     central Oregon coast to generate an all chronic hazards shoreline stability database and an all
                                     chronic hazards shoreline stability map for the study area. The pilot database and map -will be
                                     incorporated into local comprehensive plan inventories through the plan amendment process or
                                     during periodic review. The methodology, database, and map will lead to the development and
                                     implementation of appropriate oceanfront construction setbacks for the study area and eventually
                                     the entire Oregon coast.

                                     The Assessment found that oceanfront construction setbacks are not prescribed everywhere along
                                     the Oregon coast. In areas where setbacks are prescribed, they are often waived on a case-by-case
                                     basis upon a determination by the developer-hired registered geologist/certified engineer. Even in
                                     instances where prescribed setbacks have been observed, they have not been completely
                                     successful. This is because the episodic, highly localized, multiple-sourced nature of erosion along
                                     the Oregon coast does not render itself applicable to a gradual-retreat type of setback
                                     methodology. The development of a standardized 'all hazards' methodology to be applied in the
                                     determination of oceanfront construction setbacks will addresses these findings. It directly
                                     responds to the technical needs of Oregon. It will result in an improved ability to direct
                                     development away from hazardous areas and to prevent or minimize threats to existing
                                     populations and property from coastal natural hazards along the entire Oregon coast.

                                     Completion of this work will contribute substantially to Oregon's coastal natural hazards strategy.
                                     It will not only complement the work being carried out on geologic report quality control under
                                     Task A 1.2 in fiscal year 1992, but will dramatically enhance the effectiveness of the hazard
                                     mitigation requirements to be developed under Task AIA in fiscal year 1993. The results of this
                                     innovative effort will be transferable to other arm in the nation and in particular the Pacific
                                     Northwest.

                                       Work on this pilot project has already commenced in the form of a FEMA funded project to
                                       calculate historical erosion rates from aerial photography. The proposed work is a significant
                                       expansion of this effort. Prior to the beginning of fiscal year 1992 the Technical Advisory
                                       Committee, to be composed of recognized experts from the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere in
                                       the nation, will convene to discuss development of a standardized methodology for determining
                                       the magnitude of shoreline instability. This methodology will be applied to a section of the
                                       central Oregon coast extending from Cascade Head to Seal Rocks. Data collection and analysis
                                       associated with this task will be carried out during the first three quarters of fiscal year 1992. This
                                       work will involve: additional, more detailed, analysis of historical flood elevation and shoreline
                                       change from aerial photography (e.g. point rates); the compilation of anecdotal erosion rate data
                                       from historical photographs; the mapping of areas of significant mass movement, such as
                                       landslides and slump blocks, from aerial photography; and field reconnaissance. This work will be
                                       used to generate a shoreline stability database and determine a shoreline stability factor as a
                                       function of shoreline type. A preliminary report on methodology and results will be prepared at
                                       the end of this period. The Technical Advisory Committee will be reconvened at this time to
                                       discuss results and make recommendations on presentation of the information. A final report will
                                       be prepared in the last quarter of fiscal year 1992. The preparation of an all chronic hazards map
                                       in a standardized format that can be used for planning purposes will also occur at this time. A
                                       team of technical experts in the areas of coastal hazards, headed by scientists at DOGAMI, will
                                       carry out this work. Interim and final results of this work will be disseminated to the public
                                       through the hazard workshop format organized by Oregon State University Extension Sea Grant.

                                       shoreline alteration permit review into a single process under a single authority will also be
                                       considered.

                                       The Assessment found that Oregon's land use policies as currently implemented, may have
                                       actually encouraged the proliferation of 'hard' shore protection structures. The development and
                                       implementation of hazard mitigation requirements and procedures will address these findings.
                                       These proposed program changes will ensure that our existing policies are effectively
                                       implemented (i.e. avoidance is the preferred method of hazard mitigation in the location of new
                                       development; nonstructural. solutions to shoreline erosion are the preferred method of mitigation
                                       for existing development; adverse impacts and cumulative effects are adequately evaluated in the
                                       consideration of mitigation alternatives). These changes will result in an improved ability to direct
                                       development away from hazardous areas, preserve and restore protective functions of the natural
                                       shoreline, and prevent or minimize threats to existing populations and property from natural
                                       hazards along the entire Oregon coast.
                   Benchmarks:         This task is scheduled to occur over a two year period. Development of quality control criteria@ and
                                       procedures will commence in the first quarter of fiscal year 1993. Initial focusing efforts of the
                                       Policy Working Group in this area will have been completed by this time. During fiscal year 1993
                                       task efforts will concentrate on the development and implementation of hazard mitigation
                                       requirements and procedures pertaining to the location of new development in hazardous areas.
                                       During the first quarter of fiscal year 1993 Policy Working Group and DLCD staff efforts in this
                                       area will be summarized into a preferred alternatives document. Following review and
                                       consultation of preferred alternatives with stakeholders, draft mitigation requirements and
                                       procedures, including an oceanfront construction setback formula, will be prepared during the
                                       second and third quarters of fiscal year 1993. Again following review and comment, final
                                       mitigation requirements and procedures will be prepared for implementation and the local (i.e.
                                       plan amendments, periodic review) and/or state level (i.e. rule, goal, statue revisions).
                                       Implementation will commence at the end of fiscal year 1993. Much the same procedure will
                                       occur during fiscal year 1994. However, in this instance the emphasis win be on the development
                                       and implementation of hazard mitigation requirements and procedures associated with the
                                       protection of development already established in hazardous areas (i.e. 'alternatives and impacts
                                       checklist'). This work will be carried out by DLCD staff or on contract and supplemented by
                                       Policy Working Group's efforts.

                    Type:             309 "project of special merit" funding.

                    Description:      Ile objective of this task is to "tend the all hazards mapping developed for chronic hazards to
                                      include the suite of catastrophic hazards that affect the Oregon coast (e.g. earthquakes, co-seismic
                                      subsidence, tsunamis, and sea level rise). The standardized methodology developed under this task
                                      will be applied to the same 50 kin section of the central Oregon coast to generate an all hazards
                                      shoreline stability database and all hazards shoreline stability map for the study area. The pilot
                                      database and map will be incorporated into local comprehensive plan inventories through the plan
                                      amendment process or during periodic review.

                                      The Assessment found that the possible occurrence of a catastrophic subduction zone earthquake
                                      event in the Pacific Northwest has only recently been recognized- As a result, there is little
                                      knowledge about the areas along the coast that are susceptible to a major earthquake and related
                                      hazards, and the nature of this susceptibility. The development of a standardized 'all hazards' map
                                      will address these findings. It will be used to determine oceanfront construction setbacks and to
                                      identify high hazards areas for facilities siting and emergency response planning. It will result in
                                      an improved ability to direct development away from hazardous areas and to prevent or minimize
                                      threats to existing populations and property from coastal natural hazards along the entire Oregon
                                      coast. Completion of this work responds to the technical needs of Oregon and will contribute
                                      substantially to Oregon's coastal natural hazards strategy. The results of this innovative effort will
                                      be transferable to other areas in the nation and in particular the Pacific Northwest.

                    Benchmarks:       Work on this pilot project will proceed in much the same manner as the all hazards mapping pilot
                                      project carried out the previous year for chronic hazards . Prior to the beginning of fiscal year
                                      1993 the Technical Advisory Committee will convene to discuss the exact nature of the work to
                                      be completed under this task. This work is likely to involve: computer modeling of earthquake
                                      force levels, co-seismic subsidence, and tsunami run up elevation; field and aerial photographic
                                      mapping of prehistoric subsidence and tsunami run up, field and aerial photographic mapping of
                                      areas likely to be susceptible to liquefaction and massive landsliding. This work will be used to
                                      add to the shoreline stability database and be factored into the determination of a shoreline
                                      stability factor. It is envisioned that identification and mapping of 'red', 'yellow', and 'green' risk
                                      zones along the shoreline will be completed in conjunction with this work. Such data collection
                                      and analysis will be carried out during the first three quarters of fiscal year 1993. A preliminary
                                      report on methodology and results will be prepared at the end of this period. The Technical
                                      Advisory Committee will be reconvened at this time to discuss results and make recommendations
                                      on presentation of the information. Final report and map preparation will be carried out in the last
                                      quarter of fiscal year 1993. A team of technical experts in the areas of coastal hazards, headed by
                                      scientists at DOGANE, will carry out this work. Interim and final results of this work will be
                                      disseminated to the public through the hazard workshop format organized by Oregon State

                                       Oregon Coastal Management Enhancements -- Hazards


               Description:    The objective of this task is to build support for coastal natural hazards policy initiatives and
                               expedite the implementation of newly developed policy initiatives through communication and
                               education.

                               'Me Assessment found that many people are unaware of the risk they face Erom coastal natural
                               hazards. Yet, development and implementation of significant policy initiatives will require
                               awareness and support form stakeholders. Further, the assessment found that there is an increasing
                               demand on local officials to have some level of technical expertise if they are expected to
                               adequately implement coastal natural hazards policies. The inclusion of the subtasks described
                               below in Oregon's coastal natural hazards strategy addresses these findings.

                               A video presentation of the hazards workshops, described under Task A3.1-92, will be developed.
                               This video presentation, "Coastal Hazards and Oregon", will be designed to directly support the
                               policy-making process. It will feature the range of chronic and catastrophic hazards facing
                               residents and visitors to the coast, the public policy implications of recent research findings, and
                               options for Oregonians.

                               The first sections of a beach management and hazards guidebook will also developed during fiscal
                               year 1993. This guidebook will be a multipurpose set of management tools and private
                               development guidelines, with sections aimed at appropriate audiences: the state resource manager
                               and local official or plarmer; the prospective land/home buyer and existing land/home owner; the
                               individual needing to hire a geologist, engineer, or contractor; the coastal architect, designer, or
                               landscaper; and the lender or insurer of coastal property. The development of particular guidebook
                               sections will coincide with the implementation of new policy initiatives (i.e. geologic report
                               quality control standards, foredune grading enforcement ordinances in fiscal year 1993). One or
                               two day short courses will be scheduled to coincide with the publication of guidebook sections.
                               This work will be carried out by a combination of contractual, OSU Extension Sea Grant, and
                               DLCD efforts.

                               The completion of these tasks will ensure that the support needed to achieve program changes is
                               maintained or enhanced. It will also contribute significantly to the achievement of program
                               changes by ensuring their efficient and effective implementation.

                                      'conservation', and 'natural' shorelines will be identified for a given littoral cell. Standards and
                                      criteria will be developed for uses and activities in each type of shoreline area. Initially, uses and
                                      activities to be regulated under this scheme will relate primarily to natural hazards management .
                                      Improvements to existing policy being developed under Oregon's hazards strategy will be
                                      incorporated into this unified management framework (e.g. hazard identification standards,
                                      foredune management standards, hazard mitigation standards). As developed, new policies that
                                      enhance and expand the existing coastal zone management framework will be incorporated into
                                      the littoral cell management planning framework. Eventually other shoreland management needs
                                      will also be incorporated into this unified management framework (e.g. sensitive shorelands
                                      standards being developed under the cumulative effects strategy). The shoreline type identification
                                      procedure, as well as the standards and criteria for uses and activities in each type of shoreline
                                      area, will initially be implemented in affected local plans through the plan amendment process. At
                                      a later date the littoral cell management planning process will be implemented on a statewide
                                      basis through rule andjor goal revisions.

                                      The Assessment found that there is a need for a more precise, coordinated, and comprehensive
                                      management framework for coastal natural hazards in Oregon. Many of the oceanfront
                                      requirements of the Statewide Planning Goals are vague. Development in coastal shorelands
                                      seems to be treated essentially the same as development elsewhere in the state. As a result,
                                      development has not been prevented from occurring in some hazardous coastal areas and little
                                      regard has been given to the unique values of coastal shorelands. Further, the scientific
                                      understanding and appreciation of the diversity of coastal natural hazards has greatly improved in
                                      the ten to twenty years since Oregon's land use policies were adopted. As a result, policy gaps
                                      exists in Oregon's coastal zone management framework. The development and implementation of
                                      a littoral cell management plan will address these findings. This program change will result in an
                                      improved ability to direct development away from hazardous areas, to preserve and restore
                                      protective functions of the natural shoreline, and to prevent or minimize threats to existing
                                      populations and property from coastal natural hazards.

                                      As noted above, such special area management plans have already been applied to estuaries and
                                      wetlands in Oregon. This innovative systemic, 'all hazards', approach to management will
                                      contribute significantly to achieving Oregon's coastal natural hazards strategy objectives. Results
                                      will be transferable not only to the entire Oregon and Pacific Northwest Coast but elsewhere
                                      across the nation.

                                      The baseline data and policy framework needed to develop and implement a littoral cell
                                      management plan does not exist to date. However, the short-term program changes described in
                                      Oregon's coastal natural hazards. strategy are designed to work toward this long-term objective.
                                      The basis for identification of shoreline types, and the standards and criteria for uses and
                                      activities in each type of shoreline area, will be developed during fiscal year 1995. A pilot littoral
                                      cell will also be chosen at this time and a littoral cell management plan will be prepared.

                                                              Wetlands


                  Priority Programs Enhancements


                  'The 309 Assessment identified two categories of strategies for addressing wetland management problems:

                       Develop an estuarine wetlands restoration program; and

                       Adopt a methodology for assessing wetlands functions and values.


                  Strategy A: Develop Estuarine Wetlands Restoration
                  Program


                  Proposed Program Changes

                  Strategy A will develop these specific program changes:

                       Amend the administrative rules implementing Goal 16 of the LCDC's Statewide Goals and Guidelines.

                       Amend DSL's administrative rules for conducting estuarine mitigation.

                       Develop related administrative rules for other state agencies.

                       Result in local adoption of estuarine mitigation standards. (Assisted by development of a model ordinance and
                       educational materials concerning estuarine restoration.)

                  Restoration of estuaries is a priority of the coastal program. A large percentage of Oregon's estuaries have been
                  altered, primarily through diking of tidelands. A program to restore tidal flooding will replace some of the estuarine
                  areas lost earlier this century. It will also restore estuarine areas that have been degraded by human activity.

                  State agencies involved in wetlands management should provide leadership in developing standards for estuarine
                  restoration. Coordinated development of these statewide standards is the first step in this strategy. Once drafted, the
                  standards can then be used to develop the specific program changes listed above.

                  Once statewide priorities and standards for estuarine restoration are developed, local governments can use these
                  standards to implement program changes at the local level. Ordinances will be developed and offered as models to
                  local governments which choose to restore estuarine areas. These ordinances will incorporate and reflect statewide
                  priorities and standards and can then be adopted by local governments.

                  This strategy addresses federal 309 Wetlands Programmatic Sub-Objectives II.a-lI.d regarding the restoration of
                  wetland acres and functions within degraded wetlands.

                  Justirication

                  Restoration of estuaries was identified as a need in the wetlands assessment section. To address this need, program
                  changes will include state administrative rules which outline techniques and standards for restoring estuarine
                  wetland habitats and local implementation of these standards.





                                                                              -31-






                                                 Oregon Coastal Management Enhancements -- Wetlands


                    Rules implementing LCDC Statewide Planning Goal 16 need to be amended because the goal requires the
                    identification of potential restoration sites. Goal 16 also states that state and federal agencies shall assist local
                    government in identifying areas for restoration. However, given a lack of guidance as to how to identify such areas,
                    agencies have not assisted local governments as required and few local estuary plans contain this information.
                    DLCD will use both the prioritization information as well as information on restoration techniques to write specific
                    rule language to implement these requirements of Goal 16.

                    Once the rule implementing Goal 16 is amended, DLCD's periodic review process will also be amended to
                    incorporate estuarine restoration standards. Local governments will then be required to ensure that their
                    coriiprehensive plans comply with these changes.

                    Administrative rules are also needed to implement the mitigation policy of the Division of State Lands (DSL). DSL
                    is the state agency with permitting authority over activities within the state's wetlands. Although the agency does
                    have authority to allow restoration and mitigation of coastal wetlands, there are no standards set forth by which an
                    applicant can develop such a project or by which DSL can regulate these projects. DSL needs standards developed
                    that could be used to implement the mitigation policy and would be enforceable at the local level.

                    The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) needs a prioritization system which addresses the habitat
                    needs of fish and wildlife. The agency serves in an advisory role and routinely comments on the effects of different
                    proposed projects on fish and wildlife. Habitat restoration is a priority for this agency but, to date, they do not have
                    a system which enables them to evaluate the restoration potential of different sites and determine which would be
                    the most suitable for restoration projects. Administrative rules would be drafted concerning habitat restoration. The
                    department also acquires property and conducts wetland restoration and enhancement as part of its management
                    function.

                    The Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) issues grant money to local soil and water conservation districts as
                    well as to local governments for restoration of former wetlands from agricultural land. This agency needs a
                    formalized prioritization system that enables them to rank the different proposals and make a decision based on
                    merit and need.


                    A model ordinance will be developed because local jurisdictions with an interest in restoring wetlands don't have
                    guidelines for conducting the restoration. It is important for local governments to have standards for conducting
                    restoration because many restoration projects are initiated at the local rather than the state level. Also, all restoration
                    projects will need local approval as activities affecting local land use.

                    Local governments need standards for projects that require mitigation in estuaries. At this time, local developers
                    have no guidance for how to design and develop such projects. CREST, the Columbia River Estuary Task Force,
                    both plans for and conducts research of estuaries and shorelands along the lower Columbia River. CREST believes
                    it crucial to develop restoration standards for estuaries in order to protect the resource. Likewise, the staff for the
                    South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve shares this opinion and is beginning a research project analyzing
                    restoration techniques with the goal of developing general standards for conducting such restoration work. (The
                    South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve is funded by OCRM.)
                    Work Plan Summary

                    This progam will be developed with involvement from Oregon's coastal communities, state and federal resource
                    agencies, and the general public. This strategy is comprised of several discreet projects.

                    The initial project, conducted within FY 92, will identify and,prioritize estuaries needing restoration. Estuaries will
                    be prioritized on a watershed basis. In FY 93, while developing state restoration standards, sites will be prioritized
                    on a site-specific basis within the watersheds.

                    The second major element is the development of state standards for conducting estuarine restoration. These
                    standards will be formulated in FY 93 and FY 94. The standards will be used to write specific rule and goal
                    language which will be incorporated into the wetlands programs of the different state agencies. A related project is
                    a demonstration project conducted in FY 92 and FY 93. This project will use existing information concerning
                    estuarine restoration and will provide on-the-ground background for drafting the state policies.

                    The third component is the local adoption of the state standards. State agencies can assist in local adoption by
                    creating a model ordinance which incorporates the state standards for restoring estuaries. This model ordinance will
                    be developed in FY 94. In FY 95, we intend to develop materials for the public which explain the new statewide
                    process and policies governing estuarine restoration.

                   Likelihood of Success

                   The likelihood of success for this strategy is high, given that local governments have stated that they need standards
                   for prioritizing and restoring wetlands and would enforce these standards if the state developed them. Local
                   governments and estuarine protection and planning groups have stated that landowners must have guidelines for
                   conducting estuarine mitigation projects.

                   The need to regulate these local projects will ensure active and constructive participation by local governments and
                   local adoption of state standards. Once completed, these standards will be incorporated into state law, namely DSL's
                   Removal-Fill Law and DLCD's Goal 16. Incorporation into state law will ensure that these standards are used by
                   local governments in regulating mitigation activities.


                   Fiscal Year 1992 Work Program

                   ï¿½ Task A. 1-92: Prioritize Estuaries for Restoration

                   Type:             309 "project of special merit" funding.

                   Description:      The Environmental Protection Agency has recently developed "A Synoptic Approach to the
                                     Assessment of Cumulative Effects of Wetland Loss on Landscape Function." This innovative
                                     method was designed to enable states to evaluate the environmental needs and risks of large
                                     regions relatively quickly and inexpensively. We propose to modify this approach to fit Oregon's.
                                     situation and then use the method to evaluate and prioritize the potential benefits for estuarine
                                     restoration on a watershed basis along the Oregon coast. This prioritization will achieve a program
                                     change by identi@@ing estuaries for restoration, as required by Statewide Goal 16. Although
                                     required by the goal, identification of restoration sites still needs to be conducted in order to
                                     implement the goal.

                                     Although this approach has been tested by the EPA in the states of Louisiana and Washington., it
                                     has not been used by a state to evaluate estuarine restoration potential. After Oregon modifies and
                                     tailors the method for estuarine assessments, this modification should be transferable to other
                                     regions and states to conduct similar assessments.

                                     When completed, this synoptic approach will provide a prioritization of watersheds with a high
                                     potential to benefit and need for restoration. This prioritization would be very helpful in
                                     developing state standards for restoration (Project A.3-93). However, it is not essential to
                                     complete this special merit project before drafting the standards.

                                     DLCD would contract with an outside researcher to develop and test the method.

                   Benchmarks:             By December 31, 1992, collection of    necessary data and information. Measures or
                                           compilations of synoptic (broad-scale) spatial data from existing maps and data sources will
                                           be gathered. Data will include at least information concerning wetland acreage, hydric soil
                                           coverage, watershed acreage, annual precipitation, land cover, slope, number of
                                           threatened/endangered species, and agricultural and population growth rates. No site visits
                                           will be required;




                                                                                -33-






                                                  Oregon Coastal Management Enhancements -- Wetlands


                                              By March 31, 1993, preparation of maps showing rankings of watersheds or other landscape
                                              units. These maps portray indicators of wetland capacity, cumulative loss, and landscape
                                              input to wetlands. The indicators are then combined into assessments of hydrologic, water
                                              quality, and life support functions, as well as wetland loss;

                                              Because existing data seldom have been compiled by watershed, the user will employ map-
                                              sampling procedures and county data to obtain estimates at a watershed scale. The output
                                              maps, prepared for major watersheds, will show conditions of all landscape units with regard
                                              to each indicator;

                                              By June 30, 1993, prioritization of watersheds according to the need for estuarine
                                              restoration. The maps developed under the EPA synoptic approach will be used to determine
                                              and document this prioritization

                     This task would develop a demonstration project to restore an estuary on the Oregon coast using available
                     information and techniques. We would incorporate current restoration techniques as well as the new Oregon
                     Wetlands Methodology. Both the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve and CREST are proposing to
                     begin estuarine mitigation projects. A few local governments have also expressed an interest in mitigating for
                     historical estuarine losses.
                     The cost of conducting these mitigation projects can vary greatly and will depend on available funds. 'At this time,
                     the South Slough Reserve staff has applied for funding from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

                     This task will develop guidelines for prioritizing areas which need estuarine restoration as well as standards for
                     conducting such restoration. These guidelines will include: alternative restoration scenarios by habitat type;
                     identification of potential restoration sites; and a prioritized list of sites for restoration. It will cost approximately

                  This task will develop a model ordinance for use by local governments to develop local regulations for conducting
                  estuarine restoration. The model ordinance will incorporate the standards developed by the state. Therefore, local
                  governments which use this model to develop their own wetlands regulations will be in compliance with state

                  Description:      The state will develop an "estuary kit" for communities to use in restoring estuaries. This kit will
                                    include information on restoring estuaries that is pertinent to local communities and the general
                                    public. An outside contractor will be hired to develop the specific materials, with guidance and
                                    review by state agency staff.

                  Benchmarks:             By September 30, 1995, a contractor will be hired to develop the "estuary kit."

                                          By June 30, 1996, the kit will be completed. This "estuary kit" will include: a brochure
                                          describing the newly developed state standards; a copy of the model ordinance with
                                          information on how to tailor it to unique conditions; visual aides for public meetings
                                          explaining the restoration process (overheads and handouts); and fact sheets on the different

                  Strategy 13: Adopt Methodology For Assessing Wetlands
                  Functions and Values


                  Proposed Program Changes

                  The state of Oregon proposes to incorporate into state law a methodology for assessing the functions and values of
                  wetlands. The several state agencies involved in regulating wetlands would draft administrative rules and policy
                  incorporating this methodology into their separate programs. State agencies, local governments, and private
                  landowners will use this common methodology to evaluate wetlands.

                  This will result in a quantitative improvement in the state's wetland program, since more wetlands can be identified
                  if an accurate methodology is developed. Also, a qualitative improvement will occur because wetlands can be
                  evaluated and protected according to the benefits they provide. Strategy B will lead to these specific program
                  changes:


                                                                              -35-






                                               Oregon Coastal Management Enhancements -- Wetlands


                         Amend the administrative rules implementing Goal 5 of the LCDC's Statewide Goals and Guidelines.

                         Amend DSL's administrative rules for evaluating permit applications under the state Removal-Fill Law.

                         Develop related administrative rules for other state agencies.

                         Develop a functional methodology that can be used by local governments in designing a local wetland
                         conservation plan.

                         Result in local adoption of the functional methodology. (Assisted by development of a model ordinance and
                         educational materials concerning the methodology.)

                    The first step in accomplishing all of the program changes listed above is the completion of the "Oregon Wetlands
                    Methodology." Development of this methodology was funded by an EPA grant; the methodology is scheduled to be
                    completed by July 1992. Once completed, however, there is currently no funding which enables the state to test the
                    methodology and incorporate it into state policy and administrative law. These steps are needed if the methodology
                    is to become an enforceable part of Oregon's wedand program.

                    This strategy addresses federal 309 Wetlands Programmatic Sub-Objectives La and Lb regarding the protection of
                    existing wetlands through improved regulatory programs.

                    Justification

                    A serious obstacle to managing wetland resources is the fact that little data have been gathered to determine exact
                    wetlands acreage across the state, the degree of wetland loss, and the impacts of development on wetlands functions
                    and values. As information is gathered, it must be evaluated in a consistent manner so that accurate assessments and
                    comparisons of the state's wetland resources can be made.

                    The "Oregon Wetlands Methodology" currently being developed is designed to provide a "common wetlands
                    language" that can be used by all levels of government as well as the private sector. This will be different from
                    existing methodologies for several reasons. First, it is meant to assess the biological as well as the social costs of
                    destroying and creating wetlands. Also, it is designed to be used by laypersons as well as wetlands experts.

                    Right now, most local planners do not have the information or expertise to evaluate wetland values and impacts.
                    However, the reality is that many decisions affecting wetlands occur at the local level, given Oregon's locally
                    implemented land use program and the shortage of funds at the state and federal levels. This methodology is
                    designed to provide the local planners with the tools the make at least initial functions and values assessments on
                    their own.

                    Also, several local jurisdictions are currently developing wetland conservation plans and many others have
                    expressed a desire to develop such plans in the future, should money be made available. Although the communities
                    developing wetland conservation plans are analyzing the functions and values of wetlands in similar ways, there is a
                    need for single method to be used statewide, to ensure consistency.

                    This methodology is intended to be used throughout the state and to possibly serve as a model to other states.
                    However, there is currently no funding available to test the methodology and incorporate it into state law. We
                    propose a project that would allow the state, federal, and local agencies an opportunity to test this assessment
                    methodology. After testing it and correcting any inaccuracies or vagueness, we propose incorporating the
                    methodology into state standards and enforceable pblicies.

                    The coastal zone is an appropriate place for a pilot project because this is where most wetlands losses have occurred
                    and the coast continues to experience great pressure to develop. Many coastal communities have expressed a need
                    for a method to analyze the values of wetlands that will help them plan which areas to protect and which to develop.
                    Work Plan Summary

                    Several specific projects make up the whole work plan implementing this strategy. Development of a wetland
                    conservation plan using this methodology could be extremely important as it would allow actual, hands on, testing
                    of the classification system. This initial project is scheduled for FY 92.





                                                                                -36-





                                            Oregon Coastal Management Enhancements -- Wetlands


                 Several state agencies wish to develop policies and administrative rules which would incorporate the classification
                 methodology and make it an enforceable state policy. Although it would obviously be very useful to complete the
                 wetland conservation plan as a test of the methodology, this step is not be essential to development of state
                 standards.

                 Development of state standards incorporating the wetlands methodology would be done in FY 92 and FY 93. Also
                 in FY 93, we propose to develop a model ordinance incorporating the newly developed standards. In FY 94, we
                 intend to develop educational materials which explain the policy and standards for assessing the functions and
                 values of wetlands.

                 Likelihood of Success

                 The likelihood of success for this strategy is high, given that several state agencies need policies for assessing the
                 functions and values of wetlands. Their need for developing this strategy will ensure active and constructive
                 participation. Also, these agencies frequently work together to manage common elements of the state's wetlands
                 program and maintain a good working relationship with each other.

                 InAddition, the wetland conservation planning process is proving a successful mechanism for local governments to
                 work with state and federal agencies in addressing local development needs as well as wetland resource protection.
                 Since several local governments are developing wetland conservation plans and many more want to, we believe this
                 step will be very successful. Also, confusion concerning the wetland conservation plan process is generally due to
                 the lack of consistent guidelines for determining the benefits of the wetlands within the plan area. This methodology
                 will provide that information and result in consistency among the plans and greater protection of more beneficial
                 wetlands.

                 Current state law requires that local governments notify the state of activities proposed within wetlands and attain a
                 "no net loss" of wetlands. As wetlands become an increasingly more important land use issue, more local
                 jurisdictions are drafting ordinances for regulating the use of wetlands. The most common complaint DLCD
                 receives from these jurisdictions is that they don't know how to evaluate the functions and values of wetlands and
                 therefore have difficulty in regulating wetlands effectively. Since the local governments have this interest in and
                 need for a wetlands methodology, the likelihood of success for local adoption and implementation of a statewide
                 methodology is very high.


                 Fiscal Year 1992 Work Program

                 ï¿½ Task B. 1-92: Wetland Conservation Pian

                 Type:              309 "project of special merit" funding.

                 Description:       The wetland conservation planning process will be used to test the new Oregon Wetlands
                                    Methodology, Wetland conservation plans are a unique and innovative mechanism by which local
                                    governments plan for protection of wetland resources while also allowing some development.
                                    They are developed by local governments and reviewed and approved by DSL, with assistance
                                    from other state and federal agencies.

                                    Given the great cost of developing wedand plans, and a state system of local land use planning,
                                    the state is not the appropriate governmental body to plan for wetlands. For these reasons, the



                                                                            -37-





                                             Oregon Coastal Management Enhancements -- Wetlands


                                     locally developed wetland conservation plans are the best mechanism the state has for evaluating
                                     and protecting wetlands and the state strongly encourages their development. However, the local
                                     governments do not have the technical expertise to evaluate the functions and values of wetlands.
                                     Therefore, incorporating the "Oregon Wetlands Methodology" into the development of wetland
                                     conservation plans is a high priority for the state wetlands program.                                      F

                                     We propose hiring a contractor to develop a wetland conservation plan. This contractor will assess
                                     the wetland functions and values using the newly developed "Oregon Wetlands Methodology."

                                     This will serve two purposes. First, we will test and refine the methodology to develop a "common
                                     wetlands language" to be used throughout the state. Second, another local jurisdiction will be able
                                     to develop a wetland conservation plans. Given limited funds in the state, and a land use program
                                     which emphasizes locally developed plans, completion of wetland conservation plans are a high
                                     priority for the coastal program.

                   Benchmarks:            By September 30, 1992, we will have selected an area for developing a wetland conservation
                                          plan and hired a consultant.

                                          By March 31, 1993, the consultant will have applied the Oregon Wetlands Methodology and
                                          produced a detailed wetlands inventory and an assessment of the relative functions and.
                                          values of the wetlands in the study area. The technical advisory committee (comprised of
                                          state and federal agency staff) will then review and refine -the assessment.

                                          By June 30, 1993, the contractor will have drafted a plan that protects the ftinctions and
                                          values identified. This includes identification of potential mitigation sites. During FY 93,
                                          the local jurisdiction will complete and adopt the plan according to state statute. Once
                                          completed, the plan is adopted as part of the local comprehensive plan as is therefore
                                          enforceable through DLCD's land use process.

                   Description:      Administrative rules and policies will be written that provide consistent standards to be used
                                     throughout the state in assessing wetland functions and values. The state agencies with
                                     responsibility for regulating wetlands will work jointly to write these rules and policies.

                                     It is not essential to complete either the proposed special merit project or the demonstration
                                     project before drafting these standards. However, it would obviously be helpful to develop these
                                     other projects and use the results in developing state policies and administrative rules.

                   Benchmarks:       0    By September 30,1992, a technical committee comprised of state agency staff, wetlands
                                          experts, and local planners will be selected. This staff will then begin to review and perhaps
                                          revise the "Oregon Wetlands Methodology."

                                     0    By June 30, 1993, this committee will have drafted methodology language specific to each
                                          agency program. This will include the following: administrative rules clarifying Statewide
                                          Goal 5; periodic review standards for local jurisdictions to apply when assessing their

                                                 Ocean Resources


                 Priority Program Enhancements


                 Oregon's ocean resources are of national importance. It is essential that a coordinated program to plan for and
                 manage ocean resources on a comprehensive basis be carried out to conserve these resources for future generations.

                 Federal agencies will be invited by the Governor to participate in preparation of, the territorial sea plan.


                 Strategy: Adopt Territorial Sea Plan

                                                                       . . . . . .. . . . . .


                 Proposed Program Change

                 Completion of Oregon's 309 ocean planning strategy will result in adoption of a territorial sea plan. Preparation and
                 adoption of this plan as part of Oregon's Coastal Management Plan is required by 1991 Oregon law. When the plan
                 is approved by NOAA/OCRM under the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, federal agencies will be required
                 to aci consistent with the territorial sea plan.

                 The proposed changes will have the following effects:

                       Permits issued by state and federal agencies and local governments for activities effecting ocean resources will
                       be based on consistent and coordinated policies and standards;

                       State and federal programs for managing marine resources will be consistent, coordinated and compatible;

                       The public will have enforceable plan policies and standards by which to monitor agency actions, prepare
                       public information materials and promote personal resource stewardship;

                       Approximately 1,000 square miles of ocean will be managed to:

                           protect critical habitat areas of marine mammals, including the threatened Steller sea lion; breeding
                           seabirds, and rocky intertidal plants and animals;

                       0   resolve conflicts between ocean activities and wildlife resources;

                       a   permit increased utilization of seabed and aquatic areas while maintaining environmental quality;

                           increase visitor appreciation and enjoyment of the ocean environment while protecting fragile or overused
                           resources; and

                           preserve environmental values and economic benefits for future generations.

                       Coastal communities and the people of Oregon will be able to continue to rely on the beauty and biological
                       richness of Oregon's ocean for economic and social well-being; and

                       Management of resources protected under federal law will be enhanced.

                 The broad outlines of a plan for Oregon's territorial sea plan are known and it is possible to describe what the plan
                 will do within the limits of existing law. However, it is not possible to accurately describe the exact form and



                                                                             -41-

                   content of all program changes and subpIan elements which will be triggered by the plan preparation and adoption
                   process. Congress intended just such a process and did not indicate specific ocean program enhancement measures
                   precisely because no federal agency or state government has yet developed an ocean resources management plan
                   within the framework of the reauthorized Coastal Management Act.

                   Justification

                   Oregon's 309 Assessment identified six Priority Program Enhancements for ocean resources. A territorial sea plan,
                   prepared through a coordinated policy forum and supported by adequate scientific information, is the best strategy
                   to meet these needs because:

                          the Oregon legislature has required that such a plan be prepared and adopted as part of the Oregon Coastal
                          Management Plan;

                          existing ocean management is fragmented and uncoordinated among many state and federal agencies; and

                   4      the ocean is a public resource with many users whose interests and activities would not otherwise be
                          coordinated.

                   Work Plan Summary

                   Oregon's ocean resources strategy has three major elements:

                   1.     An Ocean Policy Advisory Council, established by the Legislature, which will continue over the four year
                          period to coordinate policy, oversee projects and involve citizens;

                   2.     A variety of studies and resultant subplan elements necessary to build a policy framework and information
                          necessary for the territorial sea plan; and

                   3.     A territorial sea plan reviewed by the public and adopted as an enforceable element of Oregon's coastal
                          management program.
                   Costs Summary, Ocean Resources Strategy

                   Oregon's ocean resources planning will be funded from several sources, including state funds, CZMA 306 funds,
                   and others. 309 funds are sought to carry out Projects of Special Merit.

                   Likelihood of Success

                   Nature and Degree of Existing Support. The Ocean Resources Planning strategy has a broad base of public,
                   political, legal and institutional support.

                   The Public. There is a very high level of public support for ocean resources protection through sound planning. This
                   support is the most important factor in ensuring success during plan preparation and implementation. Oregon state
                   government, unlike many federal agencies, is very accustomed to working with the public at the local level to ensure
                   that programs have a high level of real world participation and support.

                   The Legislature. The 1991 Oregon Legislature overwhelmingly passed legislation establishing an Ocean Policy
                   Advisory Council and territorial sea planning process which will be the vehicle by which the 309 Ocean Re-sources



                                                                               -42-





                                         Oregon Coastal Management Enhancements -- Ocean Resources


                  Planning strategy is carried out. The 1991 Legislature also appropriated state general funds sp  ecifically for ocean
                  resources planning work. Legislative support increases the likelihood of success.

                  The Governor. The Governor has appointed an Ocean Policy Advisory Council and the Governor's senior policy
                  assistant will chair the Council. The Governor's office will rely on the Council to provide coordinated policy advice
                  on ocean issues. The Governor's support increases the likelihood of success.

                  State Agencies. Seven state agencies will directly participate in work of the Council in carrying out the 309 strategy.
                  Several of these agencies will be involved in carrying out projects proposed in the ocean strategy and will eventually
                  adopting enforceable measures to protect ocean resources. The participation of all affected state agencies increases
                  the likelihood of success.

                  Local Goverrunents. Coastal counties and cities are represented on the Ocean Policy Advisory Council and will
                  participate in preparing the territorial sea plan and carrying out certain plan elements related to shoreline areas. This
                  official participation by cities and counties in a state level program will help ensure that Oregon's ocean planning
                  will be a success.

                  Federal Agencies. Several federal agencies, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, US Army Corps of
                  Engineers, Environmental Protection Agency, and National Marine Fisheries Service will participate in carrying out
                  the 309 strategy because of resource management or protection responsibilities within Oregon's territorial sea. The
                  support and involvement of these federal agencies will increase the likelihood of success.


                  Fiscal Year 1992 Work Program

                      Task A. 1-92: Ocean Policy Advisory Council

                  Type:              Non-309 funding (state funding)

                  The Ocean Policy Advisory Council, established by the Oregon Legislature within the Governor's Office, will
                  oversee the work associated with the territorial sea plan, including 309 projects. The Council will use the work
                  products of 309 and other funded projects to develop management policies and recommendations for the territorial
                  sea plan. Total costs will be approximately $196,500. Funding will come from state general funds and federal 306
                  funds to carry out this element of the strategy.

                      Task A.2-92: Cooperative Reef Ecosystem Study

                  Type:              309 "project of special merit" funding.

                  Description:       The Cooperative Reef Ecosystem Study will coordinate the goals, objectives and tasks of several
                                     ODFW marine programs with those of the Oregon Urchin Commission, Oregon State University
                                     College of Oceanography, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service.
                                     The study will be managed by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and will focus on
                                     important rocky reef habitat areas on the southern Oregon coast.

                                     Information gained by this study is essential to preparing a plan and various management
                                     measures for resources and activities in Oregon's territorial sea. This project meets a Priority
                                     Program Enhancement need to conduct coordinated ocean research to acquire needed information.

                                     This project of special merit will be proposed on a yearly basis for each of four years. A high
                                     degree of variability in ocean conditions, resource abundance and other environmental factors
                                     makes it essential that the database from this study be developed from at least four years of field
                                     work.

                                     Objectives for the study have been developed in a multi-disciplinary tearn approach to make sure
                                     that studies are geared to management needs anticipated by several agencies. Objectives include:

                                     0     integrating existing studies to describe kelp/reef habitat relationships;

                                     a     identifying what invertebrates, fish, plants, birds, and mammals live among the kelp/reef
                                           habitats;



                                                                                -43-

                                     0    collecting data on wildlife disturbance and resource use conflicts.

                                     Specific study objectives have been developed for 18 program areas and work tasks, such as
                                     SCUBA surveys, fish tagging, aerial and satellite surveys, and fishing vessel logbook analysis
                                     have been identified for actually conducting work. Field work will be carried out by ODFW and
                                     other agencies as funds are available.

                                     The 309 funds will be used primarily to provide overall project management within ODFW and to
                                     support limited field work to supplement work funded from other sources. Other 309 projects
                                     proposed as Projects of Special Merit, below, will be coordinated with the Cooperative Reef
                                     Ecosystem Study. This 309 project is central to Oregon's ocean planning and management.
                                     Without the site-specific information to be gained, Oregon and federal agencies will be unable
                                     implement meaningful management measures.

                   Subtasks:              Coordinate existing and proposed research programs among state and federal agencies and
                                          universities;

                   Description:      The 1990 Ocean Plan and the 309 Assessment clearly showed that Oregon's rocky intertidal areas
                                     are threatened with degradation and depletionfrom overuse and that there is no detailed,
                                     systematic, historical inventory of intertidal plants and animals on which to prepare management
                                     programs for these areas.

                                     This project of special merit will provide the basis for a significant advancement in Oregon's
                                     programs to protect these critical resources. The information about rocky shore sites and resources
                                     will allow the Ocean Policy Advisory Council to designate a system of marine gardens and to
                                     prepare other measures to regulate harvest of marine plants and animals from rocky shoreline
                                     areas. The state lacks financial resources to support the work proposed in this 309 project of

                   Type:              309 "project of special merit" funding.

                   Description:       Several species of marine mammals and birds listed as Threatened or Endangered utilize marine
                                      habitat in Oregon's territorial sea. Protection of these species under both federal and state law will
                                      be strengthened by coordinating federal protection responsibilities and management programs
                                      with those of the State of Oregon. The 1990 Ocean Plan and 309 Assessment identified the need
                                      for improved protection of Threatened and Endangered species off Oregon.

                                      This project will focus primarily on the Steller Sea Lion and will use an interagency working
                                      group to coordinate among the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service,
                                      U.S. Coast Guard, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Department of Parks and Recreation,
                                      Oregon Urchin Commission, State Marine Board and others. This project will be coordinated with
                                      the Cooperative Reef Ecosystem Study (above). Other species to be considered include the
                                      marbled murrelet, Aleutian Canada goose, snowy plover, and gray whale.

                                      The project will result in management plans and other protection measures for critical habitat to
                                      complement or contribute to federal recovery plans for these species.

                                      This project is an innovative initiative by a coastal state to work cooperatively with federal

                                     disturbance to habitat during critical seasons. This subplan will be incorporated into the overall
                                     territorial sea plan and will significantly advance the state's protection of ocean resources. This
                                     will provide a cost effective alternative to federal measures to close portions of the territorial sea
                                     to certain uses. Extensive interagency coordination and public involvement will be required to
                                     prepare this subplan.

                                     This project is an innovative initiative by a state to address threatened and endangered species

                  Description:       This project of special merit will be a cooperative survey cosponsored by Oregon State University,
                                     NOAA, and USGS, to acquire detailed seafloor bathymetric and shallow seafloor geophysical data
                                     within Oregon's territorial sea. SEA13EAM side-scan sonar will be used to generate bathymetric
                                     data which will be processed into bathymetric charts with approximately I meter contour
                                     intervals. This detailed bathymetry will accurately characterize the habitat information acquired as
                                     part of the Cooperative Reef Ecosystem Study, above, and will improve preparation of nearshore
                                     management measures to implement the territorial sea plan.

                                     The bathymetric survey will be cooperatively financed among participating agencies. 309 funds

                            The New Periodic Review Process




               Background

               House Bill 2150 makes significant changes in the periodic review process. In early 1992, the
               department will revise the procedures and rules to carry out the new statute as described below.


               Major Elements of the New Law

                    Transition: The new process applies to jurisdictions who have not submitted a proposed
                    order. Jurisdictions who have submitted a proposed order have a choice between the existing
                    process and the new process. The effective date of the act triggers this provision (September
                    29,1991).

                    Procedures: The new process has two phases.

                    The first phase is the "work program" phase. This is where the local government completes
                    an evaluation of how its plan is working based on the statutory standards. The new periodic
                    review rule will describe requirements for the local evaluation.

                    The second phase is completion of work program tasks. This is where the local government
                    performs work outlined in the approved work program and submits the final work product
                    for review.

                    Key Steps:

                    (1) The Commission adopts a schedule for reviews. Reviews can not be less than four nor
                    more than ten years from the last review.

                    (2) The department starts the process for a local government by sending a letter describing
                    the requirements for review.

                    (3) DLCD sets up a state assistance team that coordinates state participation in the review
                    process.

                    (4) The. local government reviews its citizen involvement program. The program must
                    assure citizen involvement in all phases of the periodic review process.

                    (5) Local Government evaluates its plan based on rule requirements. The evaluation must
                    Fither conclude that no further work-is necessary or include a work program to resolve any
                    issues raised in the evaluation.

                    (6) Local Government submits its evaluation and work program, to DLCD for review.

                    (7) The director reviews the evaluation, citizen involvement, work program and other
                    information. The review is based on the standards in the law. The director has three choices.




                                                                  A- 1

                    ï¿½   Approve the work program or determination that no further work is necessary.
                    ï¿½   Reject the evaluation and work program  with suggested modifications.

                    ï¿½ Refer the evaluation and work program to the Commission for action.

                    The Commission reviews appeals.

                    (8) The Local Government completes work program tasks as required. 'Me local
                    government submits completed work program tasks to the department.

                    (9) The department reviews the work program task. The work must meet goal requirements.

                    Standards for Review: The new statute contains three "standards." These standards
                    replace the four "factors" of the old law. The stated purpose of periodic review is to assure
                    that plans achieve the statewide planning goals and are coordinated. The new standards are:

                    (1) "There has been a substantial change in circumstances including but not limited to the
                    conditions, findings or assumptions upon which the comprehensive plan or land use
                    regulations were based, so that the comprehensive plan or land use regulations do not
                    comply with the statewide planning goals."

                    (2) "That implementation decisions, or the effects of implementation decisions, including
                    the application of acknowledged plan and land use regulation provisions are inconsistent
                    -with the goals."

                    (3) "That there are issues of regional or statewide significance, intergovernmental
                    coordination or state agency plans or programs affecting land use which must be addressed
                    in order to bring comprehensive plans and land use regulations into compliance with the
                    goals."

                    Sanctions: The new process requires the evaluation and work program tasks to be
                    completed on time. The law has sanctions for cases where work is late.

                    If a Local Government does not submit its evaluation/work program on time, the department
                    schedules a contested case hearing by a hearings officer. If Local Government does not have
                    good cause for the delay, the Commission may require:

                        Application of the goals to specific actions identified in the hearings officer's report..
                        Sanctions must be necessary to resolve a specific problem.

                        Forfeiting grant money for the review.

                        Completing the evaluation/work program by the department. The department may charge
                        the Local Government for the cost of completing the work.

                    If a Local Government does not submit a work program task on time, the department
                    schedules a contested case hearing by a hearings officer. If Local Government does not have
                    good cause for the delay, the Commission may require:

                    0 Application of the goals to specific actions identified in the hearings officer's report.
                        Sanctions must be necessary to resolve a specific problem.

                    0 Forfeiting grant money for the review.


                                                                A-2





                             Oregon Coastal Management Enhancements             Appendix A


                   0 Application of interim measures to land use decisions.

                   0 Other sanctions allowed by enforcement order provisions.

                   The Commission may use   sanctions when a submittal is timely, but deficient.

              *    Changing a Work Program: The Commission may change an approved work program in
                   two cases.
                   (1) When there are issues of regional or statewide significance from another local
                   government's periodic review that need to be addressed.

                   (2) When new goal issues arise from work on another work program task.

              *    Compliance with New or Amended Goals, Rules or Statutes: Local Governments must
                   revise comprehensive plans and land use regulations in response to new or amended goals,
                   rules and statutes when the goal, rule or statute becomes effective. Local Governments
                   submit revisions through the plan amendment review process.

                   The department must let cities and counties know of newly adopted goals, rules and statutes.

                   If a city or county does not adopt amendments to address the new requirements:

                   (1) New or amended goals, rules or statutes apply to land use decisions.

                   (2) The department can start enforcement order proceedings.


              Implementing Actions

              The new periodic review law creates an opportunity for the state to evaluate the effectiveness of
              comprehensive plans and, where plans are shown to be ineffective, require appropriate plan
              changes. DLCD proposes to use the periodic review process to accomplish changes to local
              comprehensive plans in each of the identified issue areas.

              The periodic review process will be adapted to address priority issue areas through the following
              steps:

                   Establish of a coastal periodic review assistance team including interested state agencies.
                   The team will help prepare information and studies needed to address cumulative effects
                   issue areas, and assist in development of evaluation forms and model plan and ordinance
                   provisions.

                   Develop a coordinated schedule for coastal periodic reviews.

                   Develop evaluation forms to be used in periodic review by local governments, state agencies
                   and DLCD to assess the affected resources and evaluate the effectiveness of existing local
                   policies.

              With a $1 Billion gap in a total 1993-95 budget of $6 Billion, Oregon's fiscal future is as gloomy
              as its winter weather. State agencies have already been hit with a $550 Million reduction in the
              current budget and must face an additional $2.5 Billion reduction in 1995-97.

              Mandatory state budget reductions of this magnitude are the result of the passage of Ballot
              Measure #5 by the voters in 1990. Measure 5 is a property tax limitation which adds massive
              new obligations to state government by shifting local school funding from local property taxes
              onto the shoulders of state government.

              Voter approval will be required for any significant revenue replacement. Voter approval of
              higher taxes is unlikely in the foreseeable future.

              The Governor proposes an immediate cut of 4000 jobs, to downsize state government to a level
              of 36,000 positions. Agency budget levels for 1993-95 are currently scheduled to be cut by a
              minimum of 25%.

              To achieve cost savings and, presumably, to improve effectiveness and create clear lines of
              accountability, while maintaining a structure which provides a high level of public access, the
              Governor is considering a merging and consolidating some 15 natural resource agencies into 7.
              The seven agency heads would report to a single natural resources director appointed by the
              Governor.

              Clearly Oregon's networked coastal management program is subject to these political, budgetary
              and organizational dynamics.
