DLCD Seeks City Officials for RAC on Coastal Shoreline Stabilization
The Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) is seeking local government and public works officials to serve as members of a rulemaking advisory committee (RAC) for a rulemaking effort focused on coastal shoreline stabilization.
Coastal shoreline stabilization is the process of managing the shoreline along the ocean, estuaries, or coastal lakes against erosion and flooding impacts. The rulemaking will be focused on defining and directing the use of land use management practices and shoreline stabilization methods to mitigate the impacts of flooding and erosion across coastal landscapes. These rules will be guided by Senate Bill 504 from the 2025 legislative session as well as the existing requirements of Statewide Planning Goals 16 (Estuarine Resources), 17 (Coastal Shorelands), and 18 (Beaches and Dunes).
DLCD staff will review applications and make decisions for RAC appointments in late July 2026. All applicants will be notified of the department’s decisions after that time.
If you are interested in serving as a RAC member, please complete the application, located on the DLCD website: Coastal Shoreline Stabilization - RAC Application
Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. on July 22, 2026.
