OR Bulletin NO.  OR300-2008-7 (PDF, 37 KB)

Date:  June 5, 2008

SUBJECT:   LTP – Business Processes for the Wetlands Reserve Program

Purpose:  To provide guidance to the States on revised business procedures for Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) easement acquisition and restoration activities.

Expiration Date:  Effective Immediately

Policy. The new business process is described in the five attachments. Please note that some adjustments will occur as a result of the 2008 Farm Bill. Any adjustments will be distributed as information is received. The most notable adjustments will be to the easement valuation process, the applicant holding the land for 7 years prior to application, and the annual restoration payment limitation. The valuation process is in effect at this time. The “Yellow Book” appraisal process is no longer used for appraising land for WRP easement acquisition.

If you have any questions, please call Bill White, 503-414-3085.
