Oregon´s Removal-Fill Law allows the agency to grant, by administrative rule, General Authorizations for removal and fill activities that would cause only minimal individual and cumulative environmental impacts, and would not result in long-term harm to water resources of the state.
 
Contact a DSL resource coordinator  to determine whether a specific project is eligible for approval under a General Authorization if you do not have previous experience with this type of authorization.
 
In order to qualify for a General Authorization, your project must meet all the criteria and you must agree to abide by all conditions specified.
 
 
 
General Authorizations are currently available for the following activities:
 
 Certain transportation-related structures 
 
 Fish habitat enhancement
 
 Placement of Large Wood, Boulders, and/or Spawning Gravels
 
 Minimal Disturbances activities (less than two cubic yards) within Essential Salmon Habitat 
 
 Minor impacts to freshwater wetlands in urban-type areas 
 
 Piling placement or removal within waters of the state 
 
 Recreational and small-scale placer mining within Essential Salmon Habitat 
 
 Removing/disposing sediment behind Tidegates for channel maintenance
