Place-Based Water Planning Rulemaking

The Oregon Water Resources Department (OWRD) is developing new rules for the Place-Based Water Planning Fund. These rules will govern how OWRD implements the Place-Based Water Planning Fund (ORS 537.872–537.873), including how the place-based planning grant will be administered and the process of state recognition of place-based water plans.
