1. (1) Pursuant to ORS 477.225, district boundaries may be changed only after a public hearing. A public hearing conducted for the purposes of amending OAR 629-041-0500 to 629-041-0575 shall be deemed to be the hearing required by ORS 477.225.

2. (2) District boundaries set forth in OAR 629-041-0500 to 629-041-0575:

   1. (a) Lie within the area surveyed from the Willamette Baseline and the Willamette Meridian.
   2. (b) Define the exterior boundary of the district.
   3. (c) Progress in a clockwise direction around the district.
3. (3) Unless otherwise stated, all lines described in OAR 629-041-0500 to 629-041-0575 which are along an identified boundary or a special survey line are as those boundaries or special survey lines existed on the date they were incorporated into the rule. Examples include county boundaries and the McQuinn Line which defines a portion of the boundary of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation.
4. (4) Where the words "east," "north," "south" and "west" are used in OAR 629-041-0500 to 629-041-0575 to describe a straight line, such lines shall be meant to include deviations created by section corners which do not exactly match or other similar situations.
5. (5) If the name or identification of a feature used in OAR 629-041-0500 to 629-041-0575 is changed, the description of the district boundary shall remain valid.
