AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Coastal Waters: Oregon is reviewing its 30-year-old Territorial Sea Plan, which guides activity in a three-mile-wide stretch offshore. The update could address climate change and ocean acidification while strengthening marine protections. Pollution: DEQ says chemicals released from Portland’s Precision Castparts likely killed fish and other aquatic life along up to two miles of Johnson Creek. The agency has begun an enforcement process. Invasive Species: Hydrilla, a fast-spreading aquatic weed, has been confirmed for the first time in Oregon, in private ponds in Jackson County. State officials plan treatment and surveys to stop it spreading. Klamath Basin: A working group is seeking to reconnect flows in the lower basin, and a river-wetland reconnection plan has reached a design milestone. Recycling: A new free drop-off site in Canby accepts items including plastic bags, lids, foil and shredded paper, expanding options under Oregon’s Recycling Modernization Act.
