Inspection Requirements for Oregon
Construction projects that disturb one or more acres—or smaller sites that are part of a larger common plan—commonly require stormwater permit coverage in Oregon. Eligibility, exemptions, local approvals, and project-specific conditions vary, so confirm coverage under the NPDES 1200-C General Permit before construction begins.
