Oregon Instructions are the set of guidelines, regulations, and processes that govern the operation and use of Oregon's natural resources. They are issued by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW). The instructions are organized by subject and cover topics such as air quality, water quality, land use, natural resource management, and wildlife management. There are two types of Oregon Instructions: General Instructions and Special Instructions. General Instructions provide guidance on common rules and regulations that apply to all Oregon citizens and businesses. These include air and water quality standards, land use planning, wildlife management, and forest management. Special Instructions are more specific and provide detailed information on specific topics. For example, the Oregon Water Quality Control Plan outlines the specific water quality standards for the state. Oregon Instructions are updated regularly and all changes are posted on the DEQ and DFW websites. They are available to the public in both print and electronic formats. The Oregon Instructions provide a comprehensive source of information for anyone who wishes to use Oregon's natural resources in a responsible and sustainable manner.
