APPENDIX Aa PROPOSED CHANGES'TO THE METRO PLAN _ (Current version of the Metro Plan) G. Public Facilities and Services Element . . This Public Facilities and Services Element provides direction for the future provision of urban facilities and services to planned land uses within the Metro Plan Plan Boundary (I>lan Boundary). . The availability of public facilities and services is a key factor influencing the location and density offuture development. The public's investment in, and scheduling of, public facilities and services are a major means of implementing the Metro Plan. As the population of the Eugene-Springfield area increases and land development patterns change over time, the demand for urban services also increases 'and changes. These changes require th~t service providers, both public and private, plan for the provision of services in a coordinated manner, using consistent assumptions and projections for ~~~~~~ . - The policies in this element complement Metro Plan Chapter II-A, Fundamental Principles, and Chapter II-C, Growth Management. Consistent with the principle of . . compact urban growth prescribed in Chapter II, the policies in this element call for future urban water and wastewater services to be provided exclusively within the urban growth boundary. This policy direction is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal II : Public .Facilities and Services, "To plan and develop a timely, orderly imd efficient arrangement of public facilitie.s and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development." On urban lands, new development must be served by at least the minimum level of key urban services and facilities at the time development is completed and, ultimately, by a full range of key urban services and facilities. On rural lands within the Plan Boundary, development must be served by rural levels of serVice. Users of facilities and services in rural areas are spread out geographically, 'resulting in a higher per-user cost for some services and, often, in an inadequate revenue base to support a higher level of service in the future. Some urban facilities may be located or managed outside the urban growth boundary, as allowed by state law, but only to serve development within the urban growth boundary. Urban facilities and services within the urban growth boundary are provided by the City of Eugene, the City of Springfield, Lane County, Eugene Water & Electric Board' . (EWEB), the Springfield Utility Board (SUB), the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMc), electric cooperatives, and special service districts. Special service districts provide schools and bus serVice, and, in some areas outside the 'Cities, they provide water, electric, fire service or parks and recreation service. This element provides guidelines for special service districts in line with the compact urban development fundamental principle of the Metro ))lan. '..

The Public Facilities and Services Plan provides guidance for public facilities and services, including planned water, wastewater, stormwater, and electrical facilities. As required by Goal 11, the Public Facilities and Services Plan identifies and shows the general location' of the water, wastewater, and stormwater projects needed to serve land within the urban growth boundary.2' The Public Facilities and Services Plan also contains this information for electrical facilities, although not required to by law. The project lists and maps in the Public Facilities and Services Plan are adopted as part. of the Metro Plan. Information in the Public Facilities and Services Plan on project. phasing and costs, and decisions on timing arid financing of projects are not part of the Metro Plan and are controlled solely by the capital improvement programming and budget processes of individual service providers. lbis element of the Metro Plan is organized by the following topics related to the . provision of urban facilities and services. Policy direction for the full range of services, . iRellldiag wa;'::' ',.':er serviee, may be found under any of these topics, although the first topic, Services to Development Within the Urban Growih Boundary, is further broken down into sub-categories. Services to Development Within the Urban Growth Boundary . Planning and Coordination . . . . Water . Wastewater . Stormwater . Electricity . Schools . Solid Waste. . Services to Areas Outside the Urban Growth Boundary . Locating and Managing Public Facilities Outside the Urban Growth Boundary . Financing The applicable findings and policies are contained under each of these topic headings, below. . The policies listed provide direction for public and private developmental and program decision-making regarding urban facilities and services. Development should be coordinated with the planning, financing, and construction of key urban facilities and services to ensure the efficient use and expansion of these facilities. ~ . -. . , '.

Provide public facilities and services in a manner. that encourages orderly and sequential groWth. . Findinl!s and Policies Services to DevelopmenfWithin the Urban Growth Boundary: Planning and Coordination Findinl!S I. Urban expansion within the urban growth boundary is accomplished through in- fill, redevelopment, and annexation of territory which can be served with a minimum level of key urban services and facilities. This permits new development to use existing facilities and services, or those which can be easily extended, minimizing the public cost of extending urban facilities and services. 2. In accordance with Statewide Planning Goal II and. OAR 660, the Public Facilities and Services Plan identifies jurisdictional responsibility for the provision of water, wastewater and stormwater, describes respective service areas. . and existing and planned water, wastewater, and stormwater facilities, and contains planned facilities maps for these services. Electric system information and improvements are included in the Public Facilities and Services Plan, although' not required by state law, Local facilitY master plans and refinement plans provide more specific project information. 3. Urban services within the metropolitan urban growth boundary are provided by the City of Eugene, the City of Springfield, Lane County, EWEB, SUB, the MWMC, electric cooperatives, and special se\Vice districts.. 4. The Public Facilities and Services Plan finds that almost all areas within the city limits of Eugene and Springfield are served or can be served in the short-term (0-5 years) with water, wastewater, stormwater, and electrie service. Exceptions to this are stormwater service to portions of the Willow Creek area and southeast Springfield and full water service at some higher elevations in Eugene's South Hills. Service to these areas will be available in the long-term. Service to all areas within city limits are either in a capital improvement plan or can be extended with dev~lopment. ,.5. .

In general, areas outside city limits . serviceable in the long-term are located near the urban growth boundary and.in . urban reserVes, primarily in River Road, Santa Clara, west Eugene's Willow Creek area, south Springfield, and the Thurston and Jasper-Natronareas in east Springfield. .' 6. OAR 660-011-0005 defines projects that must be included in public facility plan project lists for water, wastewater, and stormwater. These definitions are shown in the keys of planned facilities Maps 1,2, 2!l. and 3 in the Pu~lic Facilities and Services Plan. 7. In accordance with ORS 195.020 to 080, Eugene, Springfield, Lane County and special service districts are required to enter into coordination agreements that define how planning coordination and urban services (water, wastewater, fire, parkS, open space and recreation, and streets, roads and mass transit) will be provided within the urban growth boundary. 8. Large institutional uses, such as univerSities and hospitals, present complex planning problems for the metropolitan area due to their location, facility expansion plans, and continuing housing and parking needs. . 9. . Duplication of services prevents the most economical distribution of public facilities and services. . - 10. As discussed in the Public Facilities and Services Plan, a majority of nodal development areas proposed in TransPlan are serviceable now or in the short- term. The City of Eugene's adopted Growth Management Policy #15 states, "Target publicly-financed infrastructure extensions to support development for higher densities, in-fill, mixed uses, and nodal development." Policies G.1 Extend the minimum level and full range of key urban faCilities and services in an orderly and efficient manner consistent with the growth management policies in Chapter II-C, relevant policies in this chapter, and other Metro Plan policies. G.2 Use the planned facilities maps of the Public Facilities and Services Plan to guide. the general location of water, wastewater, stormwater, and electrical projects in the. metropolitan area. Use local facility master planS, refmement plans, caoital imorovement olans. and ordinances as the guide for detailed planriing and project . implementation.

Services to Developm'ent Within the Urban Growth Boundary: Stormwater Findings 124. Historically, stormwater systems in Eugene and Springfield were designed primarily to control floods. The 1987 re-authorization of the federal Clean Water . Act required, for the fIrst time, local communities to reduce stormwater pollution . within their municipat storm drainage systems. These requirements applied iDitially to the City of Eugene and subsequent amendments to the Act exterided these requirements to Springfield and Lane County. 1';5. Administration and enforcement of the Clean Water Act stormwater provisions occur at the state level, through National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting requirements. Applicable jurisdictions are required to obtain an NPDES stormwater permit from the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), and prepare a water quality plan outlining the Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be taken over a fIve-year permit period for reducing stormwater pollutants to "the maximum extent practicable." 146. Stormwater quality improvement facilities are most efficient and effective at intercepting and removing pollutants when they are close to the source of the pollutants and treat relatively small volumes of runoff. I ~7. The Clean Water Act requires states to assess the quality of their surface waters every three years, and to list those waters which do not meet adopted water quality standards. The Willamette River and other water bodies have been listed as not meeting the standards for temperature and bacteria. This will require the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for these pollutants, and , an allocation to point and non-point sources. , '. , .";-'-j, 168. The listing of Spring Chinook Salmon as a threatened species in the Upper Willamette River requires the application of Endangered Species Act (ESA) provisions to the salmon's habitat in the McKenzie and Willamette Rivers. The . decline in the Chinook Salmon has been attributed to such factors as destruction of habitat through channelization. and revetment of river banks, non-point source pollution, alterations of natural hydro graph by increased impervious surfaces in d::,: ~;..' .' j tp.e?~,}n, an~ d:gradation ofna.tural functions of riparian lands due to ljS.moval or . ,,;), , !alte~tlOn ofmdlgen()Us vegetatIOn. . . uate ReceIved i", '. , ' .

There are many advantages to keeping channels open, including, at a minimum, natural biofiltration of storm water pollutants; greater ability to attenuate effects of peak stormwater flows; retention of wetland, habitat, and open space functions; and reduced capital costs for stormwater facilities. ~20. An increase in impervious surfaces, without mitigation, results in higher flows during peak storm events, less opportunity for recharging of the aquifer, and a decrease in water quality. . +921. Stormwater systems tend to be gravity-based systems that follow the slope ,?f the land rather than political boundaries. In many cases, the natural drainageways such as Streams serve as an integral part of the stormwater conveyance system. 2G2. In general, there are no programs for stormwater maintenance outside the Eugene' and Springfield city limits, except for the Lane County roads program. State law limits county road funds for stormwater projects to those' located within the public right-of-way. 2+3. Filling in designated floodplain areas can increase flood'elevations above the elevations predicted by Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) models, because the FEMA models are typically based only on the extent of development at the time the modeling was conducted and do not take into account the ultimate buildout of the drainage area This poses risks to other proPerties in or adjacent to floodplains and can change the hydrograph of the river.- Policies G.I34 Improve surface and ground water quality and quantity in the metropolitan area by developing regulations or instituting programs for stormwater to:' a.

Services to Development Within the Urban Growth Boundary: Schools Findinl!S 2~5. ORS 195.1l0requires cities and cOunties to include, as an element of their . comprehensive plan, a school facility plan for high growth districts prepared by , the district in cooperation with the city or county; and for the city or county to initiate the planning activity. The law defines high growth districts as those that have an enrollment of over 5,000 students and an increase in enrollment of six percent or more during the three most recent school years. At present, there are no high growth school districts in the urban growth boundary. 246. ORS 197.296(4)(a) states that when the Urban growth boundary is amended to provide needed housing, "As part of this process, the amendment shall include sufficient land reasonably necessary to accommodate the siting of new public school facilities. The need and inclusion of lands for new public school facilities shall be a coordinated process between the affected public school districts and the . local government that has the authority to approve the urban growth boundary." r 2!j7. Enrollmentprojections for the five public school districts in the metropolitan area and the University of Oregon and Lane Community College (LCC) are not consistent. Bethel School District and the University of Oregon expect increases while SpriIigfield and Eugene School Districts and LCC are experiencing nearly flat or declining enrollments. Enrollment is increasing fastest in the elementary and high school attendimce areas near new development. ~8. . Short~term fluctuations in school attendance are addressed through .the use of adjusted attendance area boundaries, double shifting, use of portable classrooms, and busing. School funding from the state is based on student enrollment for school districts in the State of Oregon. This funding pattern affects the willingness of districts to allow out-of-district transfers and to adjust district .; boundaries. Adjustments in district boundaries may be feasible where there is no net loss or gairi in student enrollments between districts. "'\.

'~, . ~:! schools may allow more parents to stay in established neighborhoods and to avoid moving out to new subdivisions on the urban fringe or to bedroom communities. However, growth patterns do not always respect school district boundaries. For' example, natural cycles of growth and neighborhood maturation result in Wleven . geographic growth patterns in the metropolitan area, causing a disparity between the'location of some schools and school' children. This results in some fringe area schools exceeding capacity, while some central city sc~ools are Wlder capacity.. ~30. Long-range enrollment forecasts detennine the need to either build new schools, expand existing facilities, or close existing schools. Funding restrictions imposed by state law and some provisions in local codes may discourage the retention and redevelopment of neighborhood schools. Limits imposed by state law on the use of bond funds for operations and maintenance make the construction of new, lower maintenance buildings preferable to remodeling existing school buildings. In addition, if existing schools were expanded, some school sites may not meet . cUrrent local parking and other code reqUirements. 2931. Combining educational facilities with local park and recreation facilities provides financial benefits to the schools while enhancing benefits to the community. The Meadow View School and adjacent City of Eugene community park is an example of shared facilities. . Policies 0.2+2 The cities shall initiate a process with school districts within the urban growth boundary for coordinating land use and school planning activities.

Services to Areas Outside the Urban Growth Boundary , Findings 3+3. Providing key urban services, such as water, to areas outside the urban growth boundary increases pressure for urban development in rural areas. This can encourage premature development outside the urban growth boundary at rural densities, increasing the cost of public facilities and services to all users of the systems. 3~.

APPENDIX Ab PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE METRO PLAN (Version cUrrently before the elected officials as a part of Periodic Review) . . .' I ,G. .Public Facilities and Services Element This Public Facilities and Services Element provides direction for the future provision of urban facilities and services to planned land uses within the Metro Plan Plan Boundary (plan Boundary). , The availability of public facilities and services'is a key factor influencing the location' and density of future development. The public's investment in, and scheduling of, public , facilities and services are a major means of implementing the Metro Plan. As the' population of the Eugene-Springfield area increases and land development patterns change over time, the demand for urban services also increases and changes. These . changes require that service providers, both public and private, plan for the provision of services in a coordinated manner, using consistent assumptions and projections for population and land use. The policies in this element complement Metro Plan Chapter II-A, Fundamental Principles, and Chapter I1-C, Growth Management. Consistent with the principle of compact urban growth prescribed.in Chapter 11, the policies in this element call for future urban water and wastewater services to be provided exclusively within the urban growth boundary (DGB). This policy direction is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal II : Public Facilities and Services, ','To plan and develop a'tllnely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development." On urban lands, new development must be served by at least the . minimum level of key urban services and facilities at the tiIDe development is completed and, ultimately, by a full range of key urban services and facilities. On rural lands within the Plan Boundary, development must be served by rural levels of service. Users of facilities and services in rural areas are spread out geographically, resulting in a higher per-user cost for some services and, often, in an inadequate revenue base to support a higher level of service in the future. Some urban facilities may be located or managed outside the urban growth boundary, as allowed by state law, but only to serve development within the UGB. Urban facilities and services within the UGB are provided by the City of Eugene, the City of Springfield, Lane County, EugeneWater & Electric Board (EWEB), the Springfield Utility Board (SUB), the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC), electric cooperatives, and special service districts. Special service districts provide schools and bus service, and, in some areas outside the cities, they provide water, electric, 'fire service. or parks and recreation service. This element provides ,guidelines for special service districts in line with the compact urban development fundamental principle of the I,., '.,,..,;.... ',i Metr.o;ljlan.

The Public Facilities and Services Plan provides guidance for public facilities and services, including planned water, wastewater, stormwater, and electrical facilities. As required by Goal 11, the Public Facilities and Services Plan identifies and shows the general location' of the water, , wastewater, and stormwater projects needed to serve land within the UGB.' The Public Facilities and Services Plan also contains.this information for electrical facilities, although not required to by law: The project lists and maps in the Public Facilities and Services Plan are adopted as part of the Metro Plan. Information in the Public Facilities and Services Plan on project phasing and costs, and decisions on timIDg and financing of projects are not part of the Metro Plan and are controlled solely by the capital iinprovement programming and budget processes of individual service providers. . The policies listed provide direction for public and private developmental and program decision-mw.dtig regarding urban facilities and services. .

This permits new development to use existing facilities arid services, or those which can be easily extended, minimizing the public cost of extending urban facilities arid services. 2. In accordance with Statewide Planning Goal II and OAR 660, the Public Facilities and Services Plan identifies jurisdictional responsibility for the provision of water, wastewater and stormwater, describes respective service areas and existing and planned water, waStewater, and stormwater facilities, and contains planned facilities maps for these services. Electric system information and improvements are included in the Public Facilities and Services Plan, although not required by state law, Local facility master plans and refinement plans provide more specific project information. 3. Urban services within the metropOlitan UGB are provided by the City of Eugene, the City of Springfield, Lane County, EWEB, SUB, the MWMC, electric coup"",,~;ves, and special service districts., 4. The Public Facilities and Services Plan finds that almost iul.areas .within the city limits of Eugene and Springfield are served or can be served in the short-term (0-5 years) with Water, wastewater, st<?rmwater, and electric service. Exceptions to this are stormwater service to portions of the Willow Creek area and southeast Springfield and full water service at some higher elevations in Eugene's South Hills. Service to these areas will be available in the long-term. Service to all areas within city limits are either in a capital improvement plan or can be , extended with development. . 5.

Exhibit 1 - 1 - Staff Report and Findings of ComPUance with the Metro Plan and Statewide' Goals and Administrative Rules . File LRP 2004-0001 Amendments to the Metro Plan and Public Facilities and Services Plan Applicant: . . City of Springfield on behalf of the Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission (MWMC) . , Nature ofthe Application: , The applicant proposes to amend the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General , Plan (Metro Plan) and the Public Facilities and Services Plan (PFSP)\ to (1) more adequately reflect the impact that new discharge pennit restrictions will have had on the capacity of the regional wastewater treatment system, (2) to clarify the relationship betweel). the PFSP project list and locally adopted capital improvement plans, and (3) to modify (streamline) the administrative and legislative processes thatgovem the implementation and amendment of the PFSP projects list. Background: " . , , MWMC's regional wastewater treatment facilities were designed and constructed in the '!ate 1970's with a 20-year life expectancy. Slower than expected population growth in the 1980's extended this life expectancy. In 1996--97 MWMC developed a Master Plan to evaluate the performance of its facilities, to ascertain areas of constraints within the ' existing permit co~ditions, to identify short-term improvements (e.g. how to address seismic hazards), and to address other major issues that needed to be studied further. In May of 2002 the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality '(DEQ) imposed new ,and more stringent discharge pennit standards on the regional wastewater treatment facilities, particularly in regard to the treatment of ammonia and thermal loading. As MWMC staffbegan to evaluate design needs for its wastewater facilities, it became apparent to them that the existing facilities could not meet the demands imposed by the . , new discharge permit restrictions. Recognizing that a thorough assessment 'of wastewater collection, treatment and disposal/reuse needs for the next 20 years was essential, the MWMC began work on the 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan, a comprehensive facilities plan update. The objectives of the 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan are two'fold. First, it is intended to provide for adequate community growth capacity through 2025, considering policies in the Metro Plan and current planning assessments for population and development. Second, the 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan is intended to protect community health and safetY by addressing sanitary sewer overflows, river safety, pennit compliance and the cost- effective use of existing facilities and the efficient design of new facilities. ~';:~,j~f!8;)8H:f;r~r . .

JUL 2 8/ ,~ " 7.' ~ l;:""-I .: -J(,:{.ju'~;~~'it~-~ . ~" Staff Report and Findings Page 1 ; Planner: BJ Exhibit 1 -2- The 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan recognizes, and addresses the, faCt that the regional , wastewater system for the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area does not have the 'capacity to meet all of the discharge stimdards imposed by state and federa1law. Neither . the Metro Plan nor the PFSP currently reflect this situation. Statewide Planning Goal 2 requires thafthe city, county and special district plans be conSistent: In large part, the amendments y.vyvsed by this application address the.issue of consistency between the Metro Plan and the PFSP and consistency of the 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan with the fonner documents. The proposed amendments provide infonnation that should have been included in the PFSP when it was iuiopted and present a more accurate description of . wastewater services that will be available after certain capital improvement projects are completed. Phasing objectives of the 2004 WaStewater Facilities Plan necessitate that construction of ' several key facility components begin by June of 2005 in order to meet federal standards that require that peak wet weather events be inanaged by 2010. In order to meet this rigorous construction schedule, MWMC must have released Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for engineering design for by October of2004. Prior to this date, the 2004 ,Wastewater Facilities Plan must be adopted by the three metropolitan jurisdictions and the Metro Plan and the PFSP should be updated to reflect current infonnation. .. . , In summary, the application proposes the following changes: Metro Plan, 1. SpecificaIly recognizes "wastewater" as a subcategory of service within the Urban Growth Boundary. [Chapter III-G] . ' 2. Amends Finding #6 and Policy #3 to recognize the addition of Map 2a "Existing Wastewater Collection and Treatment Systems" to the PFSP. [Chapter III-G] 3. Amends Policy #2 to include local capital improvement plans as a means to implement policy in the PFSP. [Chapter III-G] , 4. '. Inserts two fmdings regarding local and regional wastewater serVices to development within the urban growth boundary. [Chapter III-G] 5. Adds a new policy G.9 that makes a commitment to providing the conveyance 'and treatment of wastewater to meet the needs of projected growth within the urban growth boundary and that meets regwatory requirements.

Adds new Chapter VI regarding amendinents to the PFSP. Metropolitan Area General Plan Amendment Criteria The proposed 'amendments are considered to be Type I Metro Plan amendments becaUse they are non-site specific amendments to the Plan text. Amendments to the Plan text, which include changes to functional plans stich as TransPlan and the PFSP, and that are non-site specific require approval by all three governing bodies to become effective.2 Springfield, Eugene and Lane County each adopted identical Metro Plan amendment criteria into their respective implementing ordinances and codes. Springfield Code' Section 7.070(3) (a & b), Eugene Code 9.128(3) (a & b), and Lane Code 12.225(2) (a & . b) requirethat the amendment be consistent with relevant statewide planning.goals and that the amendment will not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. These criteria are addressed as follows: (a) The amendment must be consistent with the relevant statewide planning goals adopted by the Land Conservation and Development Commission; Goal! - Citizen Involvement To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens to be involved in all phases of the planning process.

Notice of the first evidentiary hearing was provided t~ DLCDon March 4, 2004. The notice to DLCD identified the City of Eugene, Lane County, DEQ and EP A as affected agenCies. - . Requirements under Goal I are met by adherence to the citizen involvement processes required by the Metro Plan and imple1J1ented by the Springfield Development Code, Articles 7 and 14; the Eugene Code, Sections 9:7735 and 9.7520; Lane Code Sections 12.025 and 12.240., Goal 2 - Land Use Planning.,. To establish a larid use planning process and policy framework as a basis for all decisions and actions related to use of land and to assure an adequate factual base for such decisions and actions. All land-use plans and implementation ordinances shall be adopted by the governing body after public hearing and shall be reviewed and, as needed, revised on a periodic cycle to take into account changing public policies and ' circumstances, in accord with a schedule set forth in the plan. Opportunities' shall be provided for review and comment by citizens and affected governmental units during preparation, review and revision of plans andimplementation ordinances. Implementation Measures - are the means used to carry outthe plan. These are of two general types: (1) management implementation measures such as '.ordinances, regulations or project plans, and (2) site or area specific implementation measures such as permits and gt:ants for construction, construction of public facilities or provision of services. The most recent version of the Metro Plan is being considered on. May 17, 2004 for fmal adoption by Springfield (Ordinance No. ~, by Eugene (Council Bill No. 4860) and by Lane County (Ordinance No. 1197) after numerous public meetings, public workshops and joint hearings of the Springfield, Eugene and Lane County Planning Commissions and Elected Officials. , The Metro Plan is the "land use" or comprehensive plan required by this goal; the Springfield Development Code, the Eugen~ Code and the Lane Code are the "implementation measures" required by this goal.

In this regard, DLCD's Notice of PropoSed Amendment form was sent to the City of Eugene, Lane County, DEQ and EPA. . One aspect of the' Goal 2 coordination requirement concerns population projections. In this respect, the proposed amendment to the PFSPGlossary concerning Wastewater incorporates a projected year 2025 population for the Eugene--Springfield Urban Growth BoUndary 'of 297,585.5 This projection is consistent with the most recent (1997)fihal forecasts provided to Lane County by the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis and the Year 2000 Census. The adoption of this modification to the PFSP will effectively "coordinate" this population assumption. Goal 3 - Agricultural Lands The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and it does not apply within adopted, acknowledged urban growth boundaries. Goal 4 - Forest Lands The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and it does not apply within adopted, acknowledged urban growth boundaries. Goal 5 - Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Areas, and Natural Resources _ The changes do not affect acknowledged goal 5 inventories so this goal is not applicable to the proposed amendments. ' Goal 6 - Air, Water and Land Resources QualitY:.... To maintain and improve the quality of the air, water and land resources of the state. . This goal is primarily concerned With compliance with federal and state environmental quality statutes, and how this compliance is achieved as development proceeds in relationship to air sheds; river basins and land resources. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, P.L. 92-500, as amended in 1977, became known as the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.c. 1251 et seq.). The'goal of this Act was to eliininate the discharge of pollutants into the navigable waters. ORS ' , ' 468B.035 requires the Oregon Environmental Quality Commission (EQc) to implement the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The primary method of implementation of this Act is through the issuance of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit prior to the discharge of any wastes into the waters of the state. (ORS 468B.050) Among the "poilutants" regulated by the EQC are temperature (OAR 340-041-0028) and toxic substances (OAR 340"041-0033).. . . 4 " , . , See DLCD v.

Currently, the PFSP, states that"... the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant has sufficient design capacity to accommodate population increases and serve all new development at buildout." Recent analyses have .determined that facility improvements are now required to address both dry and , 'wet weather requirements relating to pollutant loads and wastewater flows. The section in Chapter IV of the PFSP entitled "Long-Term Service Availability , Within Urbanizable Areas" is proposed to be modified to reflect the need for , facility improvements necessary to address dry and wet wea~er regulatory requirements. ' Goal 7 - Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards The changes do not affect Metro Pliln or PFSP consistency with this goal and it is not applicable to the proposed amendments. GoalS - Recreational Needs The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and it is not applicable to the proposed amendments. Goal 9 - Economic Development - Goal 9 provides, in part, that it'is intended to: "Provide for at least an adequate supply of sites of suitable sizes, types, ,locations, and service levels for a variety of industrial and commercial uses consistent with plan policies." The proposed amendments' are consistent with this objective in that the Metro Plan, the PFSP and the 2004 Wastewater Facilities. Plan must be consistent in order to comply with State discharge permit conditions that will determine the improvements to the Regional Wastewater System that are necessary to address new regulatory standards. The improvements are necessary to allow adequate service and conveyance, treatment, reuse' and disposal capacity , to serve new and existing industrial and commercial uses. Goal 10 -Housing - To provide for the housing needs of citizens of the state. Goal 10 Planning Guideline 3 states that "[p]lans shouldprovidefor the , appropriate type, 'location and phasing of pubic facilities and services sufficient to support housing development in areas presently developed or undergoing developmentor redevelopment. " OAR 660-008-0010 requires that "[S]ufficient buildable land shall be designated " on the comprehensive plan map to satisfy housing needs by type and density , range as determined in the housing needs projection."

Similar to Goal 9, adequate public facilities are neCessary to accomplish the objectives of this goal and applicable administrati~e rules (OAR Chapter 660, Division 008r The purpose of the proposed amendments is to provide the comprehensive planning framework to allow for the improvements to the regional . wastewater system that support the housing needs of the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area. Goal11 - Public Facilities and Services - To plan anidevelop a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. . '. OAR Chapter 660, Division 011, implements goal I!. OAR 660-011-0030(1) requires that the public facility plan identify the general location of public facilities projects. In regard to the Metro Plan, the ,..J",,,uce to Public Facilities and Services Plan Map 2a in Finding 6 and Policy G.3 in the l"uyvsed " amendments addresses this requirement. In regard to the PFSP, the modification of the introductory narrative under "Planned Wastewater System Improvements (page 28)," the insertion of new Tables 4a and 4b'(page 28), and the modification of Map 2 and the insertion of new Map 2a, also address this requirement. OAR 660-011-0035(1) requires that the public facility plan include a rough cost estimate for sewer public facility projects identified in the facility plan. In conformity with this requirement, it is proposed that the PFSP be amended by the insertion of Table 16a (Inserted following Page 101), which addresses rough cost estimates and a timing estimate for MWMC Wastewater Treatment and Collection System Improvements. The rough cost estimates in Table 16a are based on costs set forth in the MWMC 2004 Facilities Plan and Project list. This 2004 Plim was the result of an exhaustive study that examined alternatives ranging from $144M to $233M (See Attachment 3). The preferred alternative, found inTable i 6a, was selected because, among other reasons, it provides the least expensive means to comply with federal requirements and maximizes MWMC's existing investments. OAR 660-011-0045(3) provides that modifications to projects listed within a public facility plan may be made without amendment to the public facility plan. This applica~ion proposes to add a new chapter to the PFSP regarding. amendments to that plan. Proposed Chapter VI incorporates the standards for amending a public facility plan allowed by OAR 660-011-0045(3) and adopts an ." amendment process. .

(b) Adoption of the amendment must not make the Metro Plan internally inconsistent. The'p~vpvsedchanges to the Metro Plan are essentially ofa "housekeeping" nature. They essentially recognize.the role of wastewater service provision within the urban growth boundary by the addition or mo~ification of applicable findings . and add or modify policy language to clarify the relationship between the Metro' Plan arid the PFSP in regard to capital improvement plans and the commitment to comply with regulatory requirements. The proposed changes, as presented, will not create internal inconsistencies within the Metro Plan. ,The proposed changes also amend the PFSP to more accurately' reflect MWMC's planned improvement projects for its wastewater treatment system and primary collection'system, to provide rough cost and timing estimates for those' . improvements, update narrative infonnation regarding necessary improvements to the wastewater treatment system and primary collection system, and,more clearly , implement the plan modification standards contained in OAR 660-011.,-0045(3).
