C.25 Springfield, Lane County, and Eugene shall consider downstream impacts when planning <br />for urbanization, flood control, urban storm runoff, recreation, and water quality along the <br />Willamette and McKenzie Rivers. <br />24C.26 Local governments shall continue to monitor, to plan for, and to enforce applicable air <br />and water quality standards and shall cooperate in meeting applicable federal, state, and <br />local air and water quality standards. <br />2-2C.27Local governments shall continue to cooperate in developing and implementing programs <br />necessary to meet air quality standards. This effort should include but not be limited to: <br />a. Review of all major public capital expenditure projects for potential air quality <br />impacts. <br />b. Integration of air quality concerns into the comprehensive land use plan. <br />c. Active participation in developing and implementing additional controls, as <br />needed. <br />2-3-C.28 Local governments shall encourage changes to state and federal air quality regulations <br />relating to development of fine particulate standards and related monitoring techniques. <br />36C.29 Prior to the completion of the next Metro Plan update, the air, water, and land resource <br />quality of the metropolitan area will be reassessed. <br />Natural Hazards (Goal 7) <br />Findings <br />-:14-;33. Due to the general nature of soils and geologic mapping, site specific analysis is often <br />necessary to determine the presence of geologic hazards and the severity of soil problems <br />which are constraints to development. Such geologic hazards exist when certain <br />combinations of slope, soil conditions, and moisture conditions render land unstable. <br />X934. Unless special precautions are taken, development within the floodway fringe (that <br />portion of the floodplain having a one percent per year chance of occurrence, also known <br />as a 100-year flood) is subject to hazards to life and property fi•om flooding. <br />2435. Many portions of the floodway fringe contain natural assets, such as significant <br />vegetation, wildlife and scenic areas, and productive agricultural lands and are thus, <br />valuable for open space and recreation. On the other hand, because of their central <br />location, some floodway fringe areas within the urban service area are important lands for <br />urban development. <br />Policies <br />Exhibit B: Proposed amendments to Chapter IE-C, Environmental Resources Element, Page 24 of 25 <br />of the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Plan (Metro Plan). <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 301 <br />
