IMPACT: SUB's groundwater resource identified in the County's inventory and on a drinking
water protection plan to protect that resource or any amendment to such drinking

The following policy is proposed for inclusion in the RCP as Goal 5 Water
Resource Policy 6:
"The significant groundwater resource inventory for Lane County shall consist of
those wellhead protection areas meeting the requirements of OAR 660-023-0140
(5)(a)that have been delineated and certified by the Oregon Public Health Division.
The certified wellhead protection areas shall be adopted into the Goal 5 inventory

development of wellhead protection plans in accordance with OAR 340-040-0180."

areas that are being adopted by Lane County. Adoption of Policy 6 and the maps
