Relating to water.

SB 1064 requires Oregon's Water Resources Department to consider the specific water basin where an activity will occur when issuing certain water permits under state law. This affects individuals and businesses seeking permits for projects involving water use, such as agriculture, development, or infrastructure. The bill directs the department to evaluate permit applications based on the local water basin's conditions during the review process, rather than applying a broader or standardized approach. This change aims to ensure permit decisions account for localized water resource impacts. The bill is currently in committee and has not yet advanced to a vote.
