OAR 695-025-0080: Purpose

In accordance with Section 4b.(2) of Article XV of the Oregon Constitution and ORS 541.956, OWEB may consider grant applications that propose monitoring activities necessary for carrying out projects that either protect or restore native fish or wildlife habitats, or protect or restore natural watershed or ecosystem functions in order to improve water quality or stream flows. This division supplements the OWEB Grant Program rules under OAR 695-005, and provides specific requirements for the OWEB monitoring grant program. In the event of any conflict between these requirements and requirements identified in OAR 695-005, the monitoring grants requirements in this division will take precedence.
