Ordinance -- Page 2 of 9 <br />3. Discharged into a new stormwater flood control facility constructed by the applicant. <br /> <br />(c) For development proposed within the area shown on Map 9.6791(3)(c) Special <br />Stormwater Flood Control Area Map, the post-development peak flow rate shall not exceed <br />the pre-development peak flow rate for the applicable flood control design storm unless the <br />applicant submits documentation from Junction City Water Control District that the proposed <br />flow rate is acceptable. <br /> <br />(4) Underground Injection Control Systems. Stormwater runoff discharged in underground <br />systems is also regulated through the federal Underground Injection Control (UIC) program under <br />Part C of the Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. § 300, Chapter 6A, Subchapter XII) and Oregon <br />Administrative Rule Chapter 340, Section 044. <br />RESPONSE: Underground Injection Control Systems are in fact regulated through the federal <br />Underground injection Control (UIC) program of the Department of Environmental Quality. Why is <br />this language being removed? I have concerns that the removal of this language is a step towards <br />prohibiting private UICs, which has proven to be a valuable solution to many private developments <br />in the area that have suitable soils and site conditions. <br /> <br /> <br />Section 2. Section 9.6792 of the Eugene Code, 1971, is amended to provide as follows: <br /> <br />9.6792 Stormwater Quality. <br /> <br />(1) Purpose. The purpose of EC 9.6792 is to reduce runoff pollution and mitigate the volume, <br />duration, time of concentration and rate of stormwater runoff from development impervious <br />surface areas by implementing stormwater management techniques that promote the use of <br />natural and built systems for infiltration, evapotranspiration and reuse of rainwater and that use or <br />mimic natural hydrologic processes while capturing and treating approximately 80% of the <br />average annual rainfall. <br /> <br />(2) Applicability and Exemptions. <br /> <br />(a) Except as exempt in EC 9.6792(2)(b) or (c), Tthe standards in EC 9.6792(3)(a) applies <br />apply to all land use applications submitted after March 1, 2014, that do not propose <br />construction of a public street, private street or a shared driveway and development permit <br />applications that propose new or replaced impervious surfaces. <br /> <br />(b) The standards in EC 9.6792(3)(b), (e)-(g) apply to all land use applications submitted after <br />March 1, 2014, that propose construction of a public street. <br /> <br />(c) The standards in EC 9.6792(3)(c), (e)-(g) apply to all land use applications submitted after <br />March 1, 2014, that propose construction of a private street or shared driveway. <br /> <br />(d) Except as exempt under EC 9.6792(3)(e), the standards in EC 9.6792(3)(d)-(g) apply to <br />applications for all development permits submitted after March 1, 2014. <br /> <br />(eb) The standards in EC 9.6792(3)(d)-(g) do not apply to land use applications or <br />development permit applications proposing: <br />
