(1) The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB) may provide funding for a locally administered Small Grant Program from its Watershed Conservation Grant Fund. Funds may be allocated for the Small Grant Program in amounts and at times decided by the Board.
(2) The goals of the Small Grant Program are to:
(a) Support
implementation of the Oregon Plan for Salmon and Watersheds.
(b) Support projects designed to improve
water quality, water quantity, and fish and wildlife habitat. Such projects
include, but are not limited to, those developed to address Total Maximum Daily
Loads (TMDLs), Agricultural Water Quality Management Area Plans, urban nonpoint
source pollution management plans, and the Board of Forestry's Forestry Program
for Oregon.
(c) Make funds
available to local Small Grant Teams to address local priority resource
concerns, habitat values, and watershed functions.
(d) Encourage landowner participation in
watershed improvement by making funds available more quickly than is possible
through OWEB's other grant programs.
(e) Treat the source of watershed health
problems through technically sound projects that use proven techniques from one
of the approved sources listed in OAR 695-035-0030(3), and that demonstrate
benefits to aquatic species, wildlife, or watershed health across all land
uses.
(f) Encourage partnerships
among watershed councils, soil and water conservation districts, and
tribes.
