Coastal Shoreline Stabilization
Statement of Interest for the Rulemaking Advisory Committee
Due: 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, July 22, 2026

Background

The Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) is seeking coastal community members and other experts to serve on a Rulemaking Advisory Committee (RAC). Members of the RAC and DLCD staff will focus on developing new rules to address coastal shoreline stabilization Methods as they pertain to Statewide Planning Goals 16 (Estuarine Resources), 17 (Coastal Shorelands), and 18 (Beaches and Dunes).

The RAC is expected to meet up to six times between August 2026 and May 2027. Members of the RAC will provide guidance and suggestions during the development of new rules and the fiscal impact associated with the proposed rules. Meetings will be held virtually. In-person, optional field trips will also be scheduled throughout the year along the coast for additional RAC learning.

Please note that between the months of February and June 2027, RAC meetings will only be held on Fridays during working hours. Please keep that in mind when applying to serve.

The following are the primary responsibilities of each RAC member:
  • Attend all RAC meetings (estimated 5-6 meetings, ~3 hours per meeting, on weekdays)
  • Review all meeting materials ahead of RAC meetings.
  • Represent their interest(s) and participate fully in discussions to advise DLCD on proposed rule language and fiscal impacts of the proposed rule.

We are striving to ensure this RAC reflects the interests and communities that could potentially be impacted by the proposed rules. Because this rulemaking is specific to the Oregon coast, we are looking for members who live, work, or have specific interest or expertise in the coast.
