.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
(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 marmer, 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 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 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 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 schoois 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 ofthe Metro Plan. Date Received

If~a1ttlet c ~:)J
This element incorporates the findings and policies in the Eugene-Springfield
Metropolitan Area Public Facilities and Services Plan (Public Facilities and Services
Plan), adopted'as a refinement to the Metro Plan. The Public Facilities and Services
Plan provides guidance for public facilities and services, including plarmed 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 and 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.
This 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, .
f.._L::'.a ,.'~O'T'r"~Qr JerRSe, may be found under any of these topics, although the first
topic, Services to Development Within the Urban Growth 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.ofthese 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 plarming, financing, and construction of key urban facilities and
services to ensure the efficient use and expansion of these facilities.
I The exact location of the projects shown on the Public Fa~ilities and Services Plan planned facilities
maps is determined through local processes.
2 Goal II also requires transportation facilities to be included in public facilities plans. In this nlC\Wl~ . d
area, transportation facilities are addressed in Metro Plan Chapter JII-F and in the Eugene-Sprin!f11!13.U:; neCeNe
Transportation System Plan (Frans Plan).

Goals
I. Provide and maintain public facilities and services in an efficient and
enviromnentally responsible manner.
2. Provide public facilities and services in a manner that encourages orderly and
sequential growth. .
Findinf!s and Policies
Services to Development Within the Urban Growth Boundary: Planning and
Coordination
Findinl!s
1.
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 service 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 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
Hill~. 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.

boundary can be served with water, wastewater, stormwater, and electric service
at the time those areas are developed. 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-Natron areas 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, l;!, and 3 in the Public 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.I Extend the minimwn level and full range of key urban facilities and services in an
orderly and efficient manner consistent with the growth management policies in
Chapter ll-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, refinement plans, canital
imnrovement nlans, and ordinances as the guide for detailed planning and project
implementation.'

a. Modifications to a public facility project which are minor in nature and do
not significantly impact the project's general description, location, sizing,
capacity, or other general characteristic of the project; or
b. Technical and environmental modifications to a public facility which are
made pursuant to final engineering on a project; or
c. Modifications to a public facility project which are made pursuant to
,findings of an Environmental Assessment or Environmental Impact
Statement conducted under regulations implementing the procedural
provisions of the national Environmental Policy Act of 1969 or any
federal or State of Oregon agency project development regulations
consistent with that act and its regulations
G.4 The cities and Lane County shall coordinate with EWEB, SUB, and special
service districts operating in the metropolitan area, to provide the opportunity to
review and comment on proposed public facilities, plans, programs, and public
improvement projects or changes thereto that may affect one another's area of
responsibility.
G.5 The cities shall continue joint planning coordination with major institutions, such
as universities and hospitals, due to their relatively large impact on local facilities
and services.
G.6 Efforts shall be made to reduce the number ofwmecessary special service districts
and to revise confusing or illogical service boundaries, including those that result
in a duplication of effort or overlap of service. When possible, these efforts shall
be pursued in cooperation with the affected jurisdictions.
G.7 Service providers shall coordinate the provision offacilities and services to areas
targeted by the cities for higher densities, infill, mixed uses, and nodal
development.
G.8 The cities and county shall coordinate with cities surrounding the metropolitan
area to develop a growth management strategy. This strategy will address
regional public facility needs.

Findings
1;1,4. 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 mUnicipal storm diainage systems. These requirements applied
initially to the City of Eugene and subsequent amendments to the Act extended
these requirements to Springfield and Lane County. .
1;;5. Administration and enforcement of the Clean Water Act stormwaterprovisions
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.
1~7. The Clean Water Act requires states to assess the quality oftheir surface waters
every three years, and to list those waters which do not meet adopted water
quality standards. The WilIamette 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.
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 Willarnette Rive"".Ige R . d
decline in the Chinook Salmon has been attributed to such factors as destWci4b~ ecelve
of habitat through channelization and revetment of river banks, non-point source __ .

1-79. There are many advantages to keeping chaxmels open, including, at a minimum,
natural biofiltration of stormwater pollutants; greater ability to attenuate effects of
peak stormwater flows; retention of wetland, habitat, and open space functions;
and reduced capital costsJor 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 of 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.
2-1-3. Filling in designated floodplain areas can increase flood elevations aboye 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.,

ORS 195.110 requires cities and counties to include, as an element oftheir
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 defmes 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.
ORS I 97.296(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 affecied public school districts and the
local government that has the authority to approve the urban growth boundary."
Enrollment projections. 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 Springfield and Eugene School Districts and LCC are experiencing nearly
flat or declining enrollments. Enrollment is increasing fastest in the elementary
and high school attendance area,s near new development. .
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 iIllow out-of-district transfers and to adjust district
boundaries. Adjustments in district boundaries may be feasible where there is no
net loss or gain in student enrollments between districts. Date Received

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 uneven
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 schools are under capacity.
~30. Long-range enrollment forecasts determine 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.

PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE METRO PLAN
(Version currently before the elected officials as a'part of Periodic Review)
G. Public Facilities and Services Element
This Public Facilities and Services Ele~ent provides direction for the future provision of
urban facilities and services to planne~ land uses within the Metro Plan Plan Boundary
(plan Boundary).!
'I
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 ofthe 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 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 (UGB). This policy direction is consistent with Statewide Planning Goal II:
Public Facilities and Services, "To plan and develop a timely, 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 time development is completed
and, ultimately, by a full range of key \ITban 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 arelspread 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, 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 corripa~t urban development fundamental princill!1l.~ Received

.
This element incorporates the findings and policies in the Eugene-Springfield
Metropolitan Area Public Facilities and Services Plan (Public Facilities and Services
Plan), adopted as a refinement to the Metro Plan. 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 II, 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.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 and financing ofprojects are not part of the
Metro Plan and are controlled solely by the capital improvement programmilIg and
budget processes of individual service providers.
,
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.
,
Goals
I. Provide and maintain public facilities and services in an efficient and
environmentally responsible manner.
2. Provide public facilities and services in a manner that encourages orderly and
sequential growth. .
Findings and Policies
The findings and policies in'this element are organized by the following four topics
related to the provision of urban facilities and services. Policy direction for the full range
of urban facilities and services, incilIEiiag ';:aste'llaC ocn';ccr, may be found under any of
these topics, although the first topic, Services to Development Within the Urban Growth
Boundary, is further broken down into sub-categories.

Findings
1.
~I .
Urban expansion within the UGB is accomplished through in-fill, redevelopment,
and annexation ofterritory which can be served with a minimum level of key
urban services and facilities:TIlls 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 11 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 projec! 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
cooperatives, and spe"ial service 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 (O-S
. years) with water, wastewater, Stormwater, and electric service. Exceptions to
this are stormwater service to portions ofthe Willow Creek area and southeast
Springfield and full water servi6e 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.

areas are developed. In general, areas outside city limits serviceable in the long-
term are located near the UGS and in urban reserves, primarily in River Road,
Santa Clara, west Eugene's Willow Creek area, south Springfield, and the
Thurston and Jasper-Natron areas 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, ~and 3 in the Public 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 UGIl. .
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 prevenis 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 dev.elopment for

7. . Add a new chapter to the Public Facilities and Services Plan, to be Chapter
VI., reading as follows:
VI. Amendments to the Plan
This chapter describes the method to be used in the event it becomes necessary or
appropriate to modify the text, tables or the maps contained in the Public Facilities and
Services Plan ("the Plan").
Flexibility oftbe Plan
Certain public facility project descriptions, location or service area designations will
necessarily change as a result of subsequent design studies, capital improvement
programs, environmental impact studies and changes in potential sources of funding. The
Plan is not designed to 'either prohibit projects not included in the plan for which
unanticipated funding has been obtained, preclude project specification and location
decisions made according to the National Environmental Policy Act, or subject
administrative and technical changes to the plan to post-acknowledgement review or
review by the Land Use Board of Appeals.
For the purposes of this Plan, two types of modifications are identified.
A. Modifications requiring amendment ofthe Plan.
The following modifications require amendment of the Plan:
1. Amendments, which include those modifications or changes (as
represented by Table 16a) to the location or provider of public facility
projects which significantly impact a public facility project identified in
the comprehensive plan, and which do not qualify as administrative or
technical and environmental changes, as defined below. Amendments arc
subject to the administrative procedures and review and appeal procedures
applicable to land use decisions.
2. Adoption of capital improvement program project lists by any service
provider do not require modification of this Plan unless the requirements
of subparagraph 1 above are met.
B. Modifications permitted without amendment of the Plan.
The following modifications dci not require amendment of this Plan:
I. Administrative changes are those modifications to a public facility project
which are minor in nature and do not significantly impact the project's
general d~s~ription, loc~tion, sizing, capacity or other general Date Rec' d

2. Technical and environmental changes are those modifications to a public
facility project which are made pursuant to "final engineering" on a project
or .those which result from the findings of an Environmental Assessment
or Environmental Impact Statement conducted under regulations
implementing the procedural provisions of the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 or any federal or state agency project development
regulations consistent with that Act and its regulations. .
Process for making Changes
A. Administrative and Technical or Environmenml Changes. Any jurisdiction may
make an administrative or technical and environmental change, as defined herein,
by forwarding to each jurisdiction covered by this Plan, and to the Lane Council
of GovernriIents a copy of the resolution or other final action of the governing
board of the jurisdiction authorizing the change.
B. Amendments
For purposes of processing amendments, as defined herein, such amendments are
divided into two classes.
a. Type I Amendments include amendments to the text of the Plan, or to.a
list, location or provider of public facility projects which significantly
impact a public facility project identified herein, which project serves
more than one jurisdiction.
b. Type II amendments include amendments to a list, location or provider of
public facility projects which significantly impact a public facility project
identified herein, which project serves only the jurisdiction proposing the
amendment.
C. Processing Amendments
Any of the adopting agencies (Lane County, Eugene, or Springfield) may initiate
an amendment to this plan at any time on their own motion or on behalf of a
citizen.
a. Type I amendments shall be forwarded to the planning commissions of the
respective agencies and, following their recommendation, shall be
considered by the governing boards of all agencies. If a Type I
amendment is not adopted by all agencies, the amendment shall be
referred to MPC for conflict resolution. Subsequent failure by agencies to
adopt an MPC-negotiated proposal shall defeat the proposed amendment.
If an amendment is adopted, all agencies shall adopt substantively
identical ordinances.
b. Type II amendments shall be forwarded to the Planning Commission of
the initiating agency and, following their recommendation, shall Aata Ree el've d
considered by the governing board of the initiating agency. U

Staff Report and Findings of Compliance 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 ofthe Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission
(MWMC) . ,
Nature of the Application:
The applicant proposes to amend the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General
Plan (Metro Plan) and the Public Facilities and Services Plan (PFSP)I to (1) more
adequately reflect the impact that new discharge permit restrictions will have had on the
capacity of the regional wastewater treatment system, (2) to clarifY the relationship
between the PFSP project list and locally adopted capital improvement plans, and (3) to
modifY (streamline) the administrative and legislative processes that govern the
implementation and amendment ofthe.PFSP projects list.
Background:
MWMC's regional wastewater treatment facilities were designed and constructed in the
late 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 conditions, 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 of2002 the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) imposed new
and more stringent discharge permit standards on the regional wastewater treatment
facilities, particularly in regard to the treatment of anunonia 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
disposaVreuse needs for t)1e next 20 years was essential, the MWMC began work on the
2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan, a comprehensive facilities plan update. The objectives
ofthe 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan are tWofold. 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, permit' compliance and the cost-
effective use of existing facilities and the efficient design of new facilities.

Ordinance No. PA 1209 - Exhibit "c"
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 standards imposed by state and federal law. Neither
the Metro Plan nor the PFSP currently reflect this situation. Statewide Planning Goal 2
requires that the city, county and special district plans be consistent. In large part, the
amendments proposed by this application address the issue of consistency between the
Metro Plan and the PFSP and consistency ofthe 2004 Wastewater Facilities Plan with the
former documents. The proposed amendments provide information that should have been
included in the PFSP when it was adopted and present a more accurate description of
wastewater services that will be available after certain capital improvement projects are
completed.
Phasing objectives ofthe 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 managed 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 information.
In summary, the application .proposes and approval makes the following changes:
Metro Plan
1. Specifically recognizes "wastewater" as a subcategory of service within the Urban
Growth Boundary. [Chapter IlI~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 findings 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 regulatory requirements. [Chapter III-G]

6: Adds new Chapter VI regarding amendments 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 such 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) require that 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;
Goall - Citizen Involvement
To develop a citizen involvement program that insures the opportunity for citizens
to be involved in all phases of the planning process.
The two cities and the county have acknowledged land use codes that are intended
to serve as the principal implementing ordinances for the Metro Plan. SDC Article
7 METRO PLAN AMENDMENTS and SDC Article 14 PUBLIC HEARINGS
prescribe the manner in which a Type I Metro Plan amendment must be noticed.

Ordinance No. P A 1209 - Exhibit "C"
Citizen involvement for a Type I Metro Plan amendment not related to an urban
growth boundary amendment requires: 1) Notice to interested parties; 2) Notice
shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation; 3) Notice shall be
provided to the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) at
least 45 days before the initial evidentiary hearing (planning commission).
Notice of the joint planning commission hearing was published in the Springfield
News and in the Register-Guard on March 31, 2004. Notice to interested parties
was mailed on April 1, 2004. Notice of the first evidentiary hearing was provided
to DLCD on March 4, 2004. The notice to DLCD identified the City of Eugene,
Lane County, DEQ and EPA as affected agencies.
Requirements under Goal I are met by adherence to the citizen involvement
processes required by the Metro Plan and implemented 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.
Gl!al 2 - Land Use Planning - To establish a land 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 providedfor review and comment by citizens and affected governmental
units during preparation, review and revision of plans and implementation
ordinances.
Implementation Measures - are the means used to carry out the 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 perrftits and grants for construction,
construction of public facilities or pro~ision of services.
. . I
The most recent version of the Metro ~lan is being considered on May 17, 2004
for final adoption by Springfield (Ordinance No. -->, by Eugene (Council Bill
No. 4860) and by Lane County {Ordinkce No. 1197) after numerous public
meetings, public workshops and joint hearings of the Springfield, Eugene and
Lane County Planning Commissions arid Elected Officials.
The Metro Plan is the "land use" or comprehensive plan required by this goal; the
Springfield Development Code, the Eugene Code and the Lane Code are the
"implementation measures" required by this goal. Comprehensive plans, as
defined by ORS 197;015(5)3, must be coordinated with affected governm~al. .

units.4 Coordination means that comments from affected governmental units are
solicited and considered. 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 PFSP Glossary
concerning Wastewater incorporates a projected year 2025 population for the
Eugene-Springfield Urban Growth Boundary of297,585.s This projection is
consistent with the most recent (1997) final 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.
GoalS - 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 [and 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 eliminate 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 (NPDESj permit prior to the discharge of any
wastes into the waters of the state. (ORS 468B.050) Among the "pollutants"
regUlated by the EQC are temperature (OAR 340-041-0028) and toxic substances
(OAR 340-041-0033). .

Ordinance No. pA 1209 - Exhibit "c"
One purpose of the proposed amendments is to ensure. that the Metro Plan and the
PFSP accurately reflect regional wastewater system needs as imposed by Federal
and State regulation. Currently, the PFSP states that"... the Regional Wastewater
Treatment Plant has sufficient design capacity to accommodate population
increases and serve all new development at buiIdou\." 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 weather regulatory
requirements.
Goal 7 - Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards
The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and it is
not applicable to the proposed amendments.
Goal 8 - 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 I 0 Planning Guideline 3 states that "[P flans should provide for the
appropriate. type, location and phasing of pubic facilities and services sufficient to
support housing development in:areas presently developed or undergoing
development or 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." Goal I 0 defines buildable
lands as ". . .lands in urban and urbanizable areas that are suitable, available and
necessary for residential use." 660-008-0005(13), in part, defines land th;tV~t.L\ Ii . . · d

Ordinance No. PA 1209 - Exhibit "c"
"suitable and available" as land "for which public facilities are planned or to
which' public facilities can be made available."
Similar to Goal 9, adequate public facilities are necessary to accomplish the
objectives of this goal and applicable administrative rules (OAR Chapter 660,
Division 008). The purpose ofthe 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
. metiopolitan area. .
Goal 11 - Public Facilities and Services - To plan and develop 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 11. 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 reference to Public Facilities
and Services Plan Map 2a in Finding 6 and Policy G.3 in the proposed
I 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 hnprovements.
OAR 66Q-:.OII-0045(3) provides that modifications to projects listed within a
public facility plan may be made without amendment to the public facility plan.
This application 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.
Goal 12 - Transportation
The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and it is
not applicable to the proposed amendments. .
Goal 13 - Energy Conservation
The changes do not affect M. etro Plan or PFSP consistency with this go'\4I!~iit is .

Ordinance No. P A 1209 - Exhibit"C"
Goal 14 - Urbanization'.- To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from
rural to urban land use.
The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and it is
not applicable to the proposed amendments, as they do not affect the existing
Urban growth boundary.
Goal 15 - WilIamette River Greenway
The changes do not affect Metro Plan or PFSP consistency with this goal and it is
not applicable to the proposed amendments.
Goal 16 Estuarine Resources, Goal 17 Coastal Shorelands, Goal 18 Beaches
and Dunes, and Goal 19 Ocean Resources
These goals do not apply to the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area.
(b) Adoption of the amendment must not make the Metro Plan internally
inconsistent.
The proposed changes to the Metro Plan are essentially of a "housekeeping"
nature. They essentially recognize the role of wastewater service provision within
the urban growth boundary by the addition or modification of applicable findings
and add or modify policy language to clarify the relationship between the Metro
Plan and 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
coliection system, to provide rough cost and timing estimates for those
improvements, update narrative information 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).
The proposed changes to the PFSP do not create any inconsistencies within the
PFSP nor do they create any inconsistencies between the PFSP and the Metro
Plan. .

In March of 2003, MWMC hired 'CH2M HILL to evaluate and plan for regianal
wastewater capital improvements that will serve the Eugene/Springfield urban growth
boundarY into year 2025. MWMC will need to implement the recommended
improvements to. meet regulatory requirements based on projected pollution loads and
flows. CH2M HILL as part of its work to. evaluate and plan for regional wastewater
improvements has prepared a technical memo related to "Flow and Load Projections"
dated April 12, 2004. This historical.and projected information is being used to plan for
needed MWMC capital improvements based on engineering evaluation methods and by
comparing technology options. It is estimated that approximately $160 million dollars
(in 2004 dollars) are needed for MWMC projects to. aqdress regulatory requ~e,11ts <l#l9 . d
