Slocum Orthopedics Page 7 of 9 Standards Review – Written Statement July 2,2026 The Satre Group • 375 West 4th Avenue, Suite 201, Eugene, OR 97401 • (541) 686-4540 • www.satregroup.com (e) Disturbed areas shall be re-planted consistent with this section as soon as practicable, but no later than March15 of the calendar year following disturbance; and (f) A 70% survival rate of plantings shall be guaranteed for a 3-year period in the form of a financial deposit, bond or other means sufficient to cover the cost to remove dead and dying species, and to purchase and replant with living species. City staff shall be granted access to the planted area by the property owner as a condition of approval for this use in order to monitor the establishment of the plantings during this 3-year period. Finding: The applicant has submitted a revegetation and planting plan prepared by qualified consultants to restore all areas disturbed by installation of the stormwater conveyance system within the Water Quality Management Area (WQMA) and its setback to a condition better than previous existing conditions. The revegetation plan proposes replacement of the three trees removed for construction and two technical fellings utilizing City's approved trees suitable for the site conditions. In addition, all disturbed areas will be replanted with native plants adapted for site conditions. The proposed plantings do not include invasive or non-native species and are intended to improve the ecological function of the WQMA by enhancing bank stability, increasing vegetative cover, and providing future channel shading. The mix, quantity, and placement of plant materials are designed to increase the capacity of the WQMA to filter pollutants from runoff to the greatest extent practicable. Plant species have been selected based on site-specific conditions, including topography, hydrology, and soil characteristics. As a condition of approval, all areas of exposed soil resulting from vegetation removal shall be protected and stabilized in accordance with EC 6.625 through EC 6.645. Disturbed areas shall be replanted or mulched and seeded with native seed and straw mulch within 15 days of disturbance and revegetated as soon as practicable. Therefore, the proposal complies with EC 9.4785(2)(a) through (f). (3) Construction Practices. Construction to accommodate a use listed in EC 9.4780(3) shall comply with the following standards: (a) Construction, maintenance, repair, reconstruction and restoration activities shall be planned and timed so as to minimize adverse impacts to water quality; (b) For purposes of this subsection, heavy machinery is defined as motorized or mechanized machinery or equipment capable of deliberately or inadvertently damaging vegetation, or damaging or compacting soil. The following standards shall apply to use of heavy machinery within the /WQ Management Area: 1. The use of heavy machinery shall be the minimum necessary for the use or activity and shall be restricted to those areas where its use is necessary; 2. The use of heavy machinery within the channel shall be limited to the period between June 15 and September 30 except as allowed by permit from the Army Corps of Engineers or Oregon Department of State Lands; and 3. On sites where soils are severely compacted through the use of heavy machinery, the soils shall be tilled or re-tilled to a depth of 6 inches. Construction may also be subject to construction site management practices such as the erosion prevention provisions of EC chapter 6, which apply to, among other things, clearing, grading, grubbing, excavation and filling. Finding: The proposed stormwater conveyance improvements require limited trenching and installation activities within the Water Quality Management Area (WQMA) and setback area. The applicant has demonstrated that the use of heavy machinery will be limited to the minimum necessary to complete construction of the approved improvements. Construction equipment, including trenching machinery, will be confined to the designated disturbance areas identified on the plans and will not operate within the channel.
