DSL Announces Updated Fees for Removal-Fill Program
The Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) has adopted updated administrative rules establishing new fees for its Removal-Fill Program. This program helps protect the state’s wetlands and waterways by requiring permits for activities that involve removing or adding material to rivers, streams, lakes, wetlands, and other waters throughout Oregon. Here are the particulars:
- On or before December 31, 2025: Permit applications, general authorization notices, wetland determinations and delineations that are postmarked or received by DSL on or before December 31, 2025 will be charged the current fees. See the current 2025 fees here.
- On or after January 1, 2026: The new fees will be effective and subsequent increases are scheduled annually on January 1. See the new five-year fee schedule (2026-2030) here.
