The Department of State Lands will conduct public hearings to consider the amendments of rules to accommodate uses of state-owned land that are not currently addressed in the rules now in effect. Among these uses are renewable energy projects including, but not limited to, wind turbines and wind farms, solar energy installations and biomass generating facilities; upland quarries; the removal of semiprecious stones, petrified wood, and fossils for commercial purposes; and the removal of sunken logs, woody debris, and abandoned pilings for their commercial value. The hearings will be held April 29 and 30, 2008. http://arcweb.sos.state.or.us/rules/0408_Bulletin/0408_rulemaking_bulletin.html.
