Developing In A Wetland - Oregon Coast

Writer's picture: Catherine LewisCatherine Lewis

I wanted to put together a brief overview of the steps to develop in a wetland, here are some of the basic steps that you might come across as you work through this process.


Determine Wetland Status


Obtain Required Permits


Mitigation and Environmental Review

  • Many wetland disturbances require mitigation, such as restoring or creating wetlands elsewhere.

  • An environmental impact assessment may be needed if the road affects endangered species, waterways, or public lands.


Engineering and Construction Plans

  • Design the road to minimize wetland impact using best management practices (BMPs), such as culverts or elevated roadways.

  • Submit detailed engineering plans to the relevant agencies.


Public Notice & Comment (If Required)

  • Some permits require a public notice period where stakeholders can provide input or challenge the project.


Approval & Compliance Monitoring

  • Once permits are issued, follow construction best practices to prevent erosion, sedimentation, or unintended wetland damage.

  • Agencies may require monitoring and reporting post-construction.
