OAR 808-002-0875: Rough Grading

“Rough grading,” for purposes of ORS 671.540(1)(e), means the movement of earth by cutting and/or filling of a site to establish proper sub-grade elevations prior to the preparation and establishment of the final grade for seed beds or tree or shrub planting. Rough grading does not include grading done by raking or other mechanical means to establish a grade that is suitable for planting.
