Historically, stormwater systems in Eugene and Springfield were designed primarily to <br />control floods. The 1987 re-authorization of the federal Clean Water Act required, for <br />the first time, local communities to reduce stormwater pollution within their municipal <br />storm drainage systems. These requirements applied initially to the City of Eugene and <br />subsequent amendments to the Act extended these requirements to Springfield and Lane <br />County. <br />III-G-6 131 <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 452 <br />
