Section 603-095-1520 - Geographic and Programmatic Scope(1) The Coos and Coquille Agricultural Water Quality Management Area is comprised of the Coos and Coquille drainages, the Tenmile drainage, the Twomile drainage, the Fourmile drainage (including the headwaters of South Fork Fourmile Creek), and those lands within Coos County that lie north of the county line west of its junction with Bethel Mountain Road. The physical boundaries of the Management Area are indicated on the map included as Appendix 1 of these rules.(2) Operational boundaries for the land base under the purview of these rules include all lands within the Coos and Coquille Agricultural Water Quality Management Area in agricultural use, agricultural and rural lands that are lying idle or on which management has been deferred, and forested lands with agricultural activities, with the exception of public lands managed by federal agencies. These rules (OAR 603-095-1500 through OAR 603-095-1560) will affect any lands in agricultural use on all non-Federal and non-Tribal lands in the Coos and Coquille Agricultural Water Quality Management Area. (a) Agricultural use does not include the use of land for garden plots primarily used for the cultivation of vegetables, flowers, herbs or fruits for domestic or household use.(b) The provisions of the Coos and Coquille Agricultural Water Quality Management Area Plan and OARs 603-095-1500 through 603-095-1560 shall not apply to any forest practice conducted on forestland as defined in ORS 527.620.(3) Current productive agricultural use is not required for the provisions of these rules to apply. For example, highly erodible lands with no present active use are within the purview of these rules.(4) For lands in agricultural use within other Designated Management Agencies' or state agency jurisdictions, the department and the appropriate Local Management Agency will work with these Designated Management Agencies to assure that provisions of these rules apply, and to assure that duplication of any services provided or fees assessed does not occur.Or.
