Or. Admin. Code § 736-018-0010
The purpose of state park master plans is to plan for protection and public enjoyment of state park resources. Master plans identify and provide for protection of important natural, cultural and scenic resources within state parks, and provide for the most appropriate recreation-related uses for the parks based on resource opportunities and constraints, development opportunities and constraints, public recreational needs and the Department's role as a public recreation provider. Master plans also set forth natural, cultural and scenic resource management goals, objectives and guidelines for the parks. The master planning process provides a forum for public and agency participation in the completion of each master plan. State park master plans and master plan amendments are completed on a priority basis to address impacts on resources and resource management needs, to address critical and current recreational use levels and to plan for future use based on assessments of future recreation needs. The master planning process may include the identification of lands desired by the Department for acquisition in relation to the park being master planned, and identification of any potential new endowment properties within the parks.
