Merkley, Wyden, Hoyle Announce $11.2 Million Federal Grant for Port of Coos Bay Rail Project
Washington, D.C. – Oregon’s U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, along with U.S. Representative Val Hoyle (OR-04), announced $11,250,000 in federal funds have been awarded for the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port (PCIP) Terminal Connection Project. This funding will support the Coos Bay Rail Line triplicate track and run-around section of track on the North Spit of Coos Bay, improving the port’s rail operations. “When I was Speaker of the Oregon House, I helped save the rail line to Coos Bay because I saw how critical the Port of Coos Bay was to all those who call Oregon’s rural South Coast home. Now, we are one step closer to the Port of Coos Bay becoming the first fully ship-to-rail port facility on the West Coast—with the potential to transform the region and our state,” said Merkley. “The Port of Coos Bay project stands to benefit working families across the region by creating good-paying, local union jobs and will continue to work with local and federal partners to get this project over the finish line.” “I’m glad the teamwork with Senator Merkley, Congresswoman Hoyle along with state and local officials has generated this most recent federal investment in the rail line that keeps this transformational Port of Coos Bay project advancing down the tracks,” said Wyden. “This significant investment is great news for the port’s fresh approach to generate thousands of good-paying jobs on the South Coast and to expand supply chain capacity for our entire country. And I’ll keep pressing for the needed additional federal investments to complete this innovative ship-to-rail approach.” "I want to thank Secretary Duffy and MARAD for recognizing the importance of this project,” said Hoyle. “This award reflects and builds on the tens of millions we've already secured for it, and reflects a serious investment in Coos Bay. We're determined to make the South Coast a place where working people can find good-paying jobs, support their families and build a future. It’s about time we start delivering on the promise that we made after the timber industry died to transition to an economy that provides family wage jobs and the opportunity to build a future for working families on the South Coast." This latest funding to the Port of Coos Bay comes from the Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) grant program, which supports projects that improve the safety, efficiency, or reliability of the movement of goods into, out of, around, or within a port. Previously, Merkley, Wyden, and Hoyle announced over $55 million in federal funds to the Port of Coos Bay.

Parks Commission Approves UAS Rules & Grant Proposals
OPRD release - SALEM, Oregon— The Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission approved several grant recommendations and rule updates, including use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in parks and along the ocean shore, at its April 22, 2026, virtual meeting. OPRD will implement the UAS rules over the coming months to clarify where UAS operations will be allowed in state parks. UAS operations will only be allowed in designated park properties. In addition, the commission acted on several other rules including: Adopted temporary rules for Public Improvement contracting. This will allow projects to continue moving forward this summer while permanent rules are developed. Approved opening rulemaking for changes to the Land and Water Conservation Fund grant program. Denied a petition to open rulemaking to change the extra vehicle fee rule for motorhomes. This petition requested rules be opened to allow motorhomes to bring a non-towed extra vehicle at no charge. Commissioners found a continued need for the rule and determined circumstances have not changed sufficiently to warrant consideration of a new rule. The commission approved the following grant recommendations: Recreation Trails Program: 17 grants totaling $2,065,768 (federal grant program administered by OPRD, represent portion of fuel tax for non-highway recreational use). Land and Water Conservation Fund: 10 grants totaling $8,942,865 (federal grant program administered by OPRD, funding from oil and gas leases in coastal waters). Additional items included: Confirming appointments to Audit and ATV committees. Approving legislative concepts to propose for the 2027 legislative session. Providing informational updates on real estate matters including potential purchase of Abiqua Falls properties, a property near Minam and an easement in the Blue Mountains for the Boardman to Hemingway project. The next commission meeting will be held virtually June 9 and 10, 2026. The full agenda packet is online.

Marine Board Approves Siletz River Rulemaking, Denies McGuire Island Petition and Approves Boating Facility Grants
OR State Marine Board release - The Oregon State Marine Board held its quarterly meeting on April 23 at the Port of Tillamook and approved proposed rules for the Siletz River and denied a petition for a change in boat operations in the pass-through zone of McGuire Island on the Columbia River. The Board also approved a variety of boating facility grants under its Cycle Two funding opportunity. Siletz River Petition to Prohibit Motorboats Upstream of Jack Morgan Park - After reviewing public testimony, written comments, and a summary from the Siletz River Rulemaking Advisory Committee (RAC), Board members considered options within its authority while also acknowledging the vast perspectives from property owners, anglers, guides, members of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The Board approved a proposed rule that allows small motors between Jack Morgan Park and Old Mill Park, with motors prohibited upstream of Old Mill Park. The Board also directed staff to hold two public hearings and a work session prior to its July meeting. Next steps in the rulemaking process include filing the proposed rule language with the Secretary of State. A public comment period will open from May 1 to June 15, and the agency will solicit written comments on the rule language. Hearings will then be scheduled in May and June, along with a work session prior to July’s quarterly Board meeting. The Board will then have its next opportunity to approve, modify, or deny final rules. McGuire Island Pass Through Zone Petition - A petition was received in February to replace the existing pass-through zone in the channel between McGuire Island and the mainland on the Columbia River with a slow no-wake zone. This area would extend from the south channel adjacent to McGuire Island, between the east end of Big Eddy Marina, and to the west end of McGuire Point Marina. The desired outcome from the petitioners included wake protection for floating homes and moorages, boating safety for all users, and increased serenity to the floating home and moorage community and wildlife. The Board denied the petition and directed staff to work with METRO, the facility owner of the nearby Chinook Landing Marine Park and M. James Gleason Memorial Boat Ramp access sites, on signage to better educate boaters on the boat operations that are currently allowed in the pass-through zone. The Board also directed staff to work with local marine law enforcement and the agency’s Boating Safety Advocates to engage with floating homeowners and boaters using both access sites. Boating Facility Cycle Two Grant Applications Approved - The Boating Facilities Program received 20 Cycle Two grant applications, highlighting $5.8 million in boating needs and requesting $3.3 million of the agency’s 2025-2027 facilities funding. The requests for Waterway Access Permit grant funds exceeded by over three times the available non-motorized waterway access funds. The motorized applications received for the Boating Facility Grant also exceeded available funds by nearly $300,000. The following boating facility grant applications were approved: Washington County Parks: Eagle Landing non-motorized boating access improvements. The project includes a floating kayak launch, debris boom, a gangway that reduces slope, and an accessible route for recreational boating access that everyone can enjoy. The Board approved $375,000 in Waterway Access Grant funding, combined with $900,000 in applicant match, for a project total of $1,275,000. The project, developed over 10 years, is the second upgraded non-motorized access site on the Tualatin River. City of Coos Bay: Empire boat ramp. The grant will replace the deflection booms and piling supporting the boarding docks. Upgrading the debris boom will reduce wave impact on the docks and boat ramp, improving boat launching and retrieving. The Board approved $595,192.86 in Boating Facility Grant funds, combined with $141,889.51 in applicant match, for a project total of $737,082.37. Bureau of Land Management: Replace and expand the composting toilets at Whiskey Dick Boat-In Campground along the Lower Deschutes River. Newer models have a longer use life with fewer components to potentially break. The Board approved $117,384.61 in Waterway Access Grant funding to match $29,346.15 in applicant match for a project total of $146,730.76. Lane County Parks: The grant will replace the boarding docks at Orchard Point Marina on Fern Ridge Reservoir. The Board approved $150,000 in Boating Facility Grant funding, combined with $182,985 in applicant match, for a project total of $332,985.

This is Phase 1 of sign kiosk replacements on the John Day River. The Board approved $36,010 in Boating Facility Grant funding, combined with $43,787.95 in applicant match, for a project total of $79,797.95. City of Gold Hill: This grant will fund archaeological reports for Gold Hill Sports Park on the Rogue River. This information will inform decisions for future boating access improvements. The Board approved $15,580 in Boating Facility Grant funding and $5,770 in Waterway Access Grant funding, combined with $5,675 in applicant match, for a project total of $27,025. Wallowa County: This grant will fund replacing the 25-year-old boarding and ski docks at Wallowa Lake County Park. The Board approved $450,000, combined with $100,000 in applicant match, for a project total of $550,000. The Board also approved the following requests for additional funding due to rising costs for materials: Douglas County: The county is in the process of its project improvement work at Cooper Creek East and West to replace the boarding docks and upgrade the parking. Inspection of the West access parking area revealed issues that need extra funding. The Board approved a cost increase of $400,000 in Boating Facility Grant funds to match $200,000 in applicant match for a total cost increase of $600,000. Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife: Coyote Creek non-motorized Launch, parking, and vault toilet. The additional cost is due to unforeseen circumstances, including the need to install a sheet pile wall to support the abutment and gangway connections due to soil conditions, a modified stormwater treatment system, and increased material costs. The Board approved the cost increase of $140,000 in Waterway Access Grant funds to match $151,000 in applicant match from OPRD’s Recreational Trails Program for a total cost increase of $291,000. Clean Vessel Act grant funding - Columbia Crossings, LLC: This grant will fund the replacement of six marine sewage pumpout stations for Jantzen Bay, Tomahawk Bay, and Hayden Bay marinas, which are over 20 years old and managed by Columbia Crossings, LLC.

The Board approved $131,463 in federal Clean Vessel Act funds and $43,821 in state Boating Facility Grant funds, combined with $10,254 in administration, equipment, and applicant cash for a project total of $185,538. A block of grant requests was deferred for future funding opportunities due to a variety of reasons, including timelines, permitting, and funding challenges.

Workers Memorial Day ceremony honors Oregon workers who died on the job in 2025
The Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division (Oregon OSHA) and Oregon Labor Federation, AFL-CIO invite the public to attend the Workers Memorial Day observance on Tuesday, April 28, in Salem. The ceremony will recognize, remember, and honor those who died of work-related injuries and illnesses in 2025. The event will take place at noon at the Fallen Worker Memorial outside the Labor and Industries Building, 350 Winter St. NE, on the Capitol Mall. The memorial service, coordinated by Oregon Labor Federation, AFL-CIO, will feature remarks from union leaders, safety and health advocates, elected officials, and faith leaders. During the ceremony, the names of Oregon workers who died on the job in the past year will be read aloud. The event will include a reading of Gov. Tina Kotek's proclamation and remarks by Oregon OSHA Administrator Renée Stapleton and Oregon Labor Federation, AFL-CIO President Graham Trainor. Oregon workplaces are safer and healthier today than in previous decades. Yet, there are still too many preventable on-the-job deaths each year. "Oregon's unions will always stand up against any attack on the safety and health of working people," Trainor said. "On this solemn day, we honor the workers who did not make it home, and we call for stronger safety protections, real accountability for violators, and dignity on the job." Through a partnership of government, labor, and business working together to improve workplace safety and health, Oregon's fatality and injury and illness rates have steadily declined for decades. Nevertheless, the annual Workers Memorial Day observance serves as a reminder to renew our call to protect workers from workplace hazards. Under the Oregon Safe Employment Act, employers must maintain safe and healthy workplaces, and workers have a right to safe and healthy working conditions. Under the law, employers are required to know the rules that apply to their industry, and they must educate and train their workers. They are also required to comply with specific rules that apply to their workplace. "Workers Memorial Day is not only a time to reflect and remember; it is a time to renew and strengthen our efforts to eliminate the risk of death in the workplace," Stapleton said. "Going forward, we must revitalize our commitment to ensuring the right of all Oregon workers to on-the-job safety and health." The annual Workers Memorial Day serves as a nationwide day of remembrance. The observance is traditionally held on April 28 because the U.S. Congress passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act on that date in 1970.
