1. Determine if a Certification Form is required
Determine if a Certification Form is required for your project under Oregon's Floatation Encapsulation Rules, OAR 250-14-0010 thru -0090. (See attached excerpt.)
2. Complete the online
Complete the onlineFlotation Encapsulation Certification Form or fill out and mail the PDFFlotation Encapsulation Application Form (in PDF format) and return it to the Environmental Coordinator, Oregon State Marine Board, PO Box 14145, Salem, OR 97309-5065.
A. The Certification Form may be completed and signed by the owner, an authorized agent, or a contractor.
B. In Section 2 of the Form, enter the location of property where the project is to take place. Information on the waterway description may be obtained from a topographic map or boating chart.
C. You may check more than one box in Section 3 for the Project Type. If more than one box applies, specify the number of floating structures for each proposed project.
D. You may check more than one box in Section 5 on Material and Methods of Encapsulation. Give the thickness of the encapsulated material, product name, and estimate the amount of foam to be used for each proposed project in cubic feet and/or number of billets.
3. There are no fees associated with the Certification Form.
Please allow 10 working days for review and approval.
Remember, an approved Certification Form does not relieve the applicant from obtaining other federal, state, or local permits, licenses, or approvals which may be required.
