Description

This form is used by the owners of leases insofar as the Leases cover certain lands to pool, consolidate, combine, and unitize the Leases, and the leasehold rights, overriding royalty and royalty interests in the Leases. The Oregon Designation of Unit is a legal process that aims to protect specific areas of land in the state of Oregon. This designation is initiated by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to regulate land use and development activities in order to preserve the natural and cultural resources found within the designated units. One type of Oregon Designation of Unit is the State Scenic Waterway. These units are designated to protect the aesthetic, recreational, fish, and wildlife values associated with significant free-flowing rivers or segments of rivers in the state. Some well-known Scenic Waterways in Oregon include the Rogue River, Descartes River, and the McKenzie River. Another type of designation is the Statewide Planning Goal 5 (Natural Resources, Scenic, and Historic Areas, and Open Spaces). This goal is intended to identify and protect natural resources, scenic and historic areas, and open spaces throughout Oregon. It encourages the preservation of habitat for fish and wildlife, protection of critical scenic areas, and maintenance of historic and cultural sites. In addition, there are also Special Management Areas designated under the Oregon Designation of Unit. These areas include but are not limited to, State Parks, Wildlife Management Areas, and Natural Area Preserves. These designations provide special management guidelines to preserve and protect the unique natural features, habitats, or cultural resources found within these areas. The Oregon Designation of Unit is crucial in preserving the state's natural beauty, cultural heritage, and biodiversity. It ensures that appropriate land use decisions are made to sustain and protect these valuable resources for future generations. Through this designation, the DEQ and other relevant authorities can enforce regulations and guidelines to minimize the impact of human activities on these designated units.
