The Agricultural Drainage Channel Maintenance (ADCM) program authorizes maintenance activities without a Removal-Fill permit from the Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) in dry, traditionally maintained channels under certain circumstances.

The ADCM staff developed a new notice-based process that landowners and irrigation, drainage, and other water control districts must use if they are interested in agricultural maintenance of eligible ditches and streams that drain agricultural lands. Tyler Manitsas, a specialist with ODA, will give a brief explanation of the program followed by questions and answers.

This class is in partnership with OSU Extension and Polk SWCD.
