On October 16, 2008, the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) directed the department to initiate a Territorial Sea Plan administrative rulemaking project.
The project was intended to develop mandatory policies that apply to state and federal agency approvals for the location and operation of ocean-based energy power generation facilities in the Oregon Territorial Sea.
On December 5, 2008, LCDC appointed a committee to advise the department and the commission (see below).
