Oregon GPR Appendix A

Oregon DEQ is required to finance a certain percentage of projects that utilize green infrastructure, address water and energy efficiency, or implement other environmentally innovative activities. DEQ refers to this percentage as the Green Project Reserve. All projects or project components counted toward the GPR requirement must clearly advance one or more of the objectives articulated in the category discussed below. This could be a project including constructed wetlands, projects that involve the management of wetlands to improve water quality and/or support green infrastructure efforts (e.g., flood attenuation), and stormwater harvesting and reuse projects, such as cisterns and the systems that allow for utilization of harvested stormwater, including pipes to distribute stormwater for reuse.
