2.0 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL
. 2.1 Introduction
Willam~lane Park 8. Recreation District is the recipient of a federal transportation appropriation
administered by the Oregon Department'of Transportation (ODOT) to constr~ct a multi-use path
from Dorris Ranch Living History Farm to Clearwater Park. Willamalane Park and Recreation
District (WPRD) ("the Applicant") requests Willamette Greenway Overlay District Development,
Discretionary Use, and Site Plan Review permit appro-.:al to:begin staging and construction for the
Middle ForkWillamette River Loop Path (Middle Fork Path, MFP,. multi-use path, path) Project
(Project, Proposal). The multi-use path is proposed to be cClnstructed along the north bank of the
Middle Fork Willamette River, south ofthe City of Springfield, Oregon.
The proposed 4-mile long Middle Fork Path project is Phase I of a proposed 8-mile loop in
Springfield and Lane County and part of the Eugene-Springfield riverfront path and trail system. In
addition to contributing to the 8-mile loop, the proposed path will link to an extensiv~ riverfront
path system in Eugene and Springfield and is planned to eventually provide access to the Lane
County 2,200-acre Howard Buford Recreation Area. . .
The proposed path is located entirely within the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General
Plan (Metro Plan) Boundary, Portions of the proposed path are within City of Springfield's urban
growth boundary (UGB) and portions are within Ume County's Rural Comprehensive Plan (RCP)
boundary: Over 80 percent of the property needed for co~struction of the path is in current
public ownership.' WPRD is in the process of obtaining easements, both temporary construction
easements and permanent accesses easements, to construct and operate the path on all parcels not
solely oWned by WPRD,
The proposed path is approximately 4 miles in length. Approximately 1.5 miles (8,020 linear feet)
of the path is within Springfield's UGB. The properties the proposed path transverses within the
UGB are located entirely outside the Springfield City Limits. Approximately 2.5 miles (13,185
linear feet) of the path is located outside, the UGB and within Lane County jurisdiction, The

which is the recipient ota federal appropriation administered by ODOT to construct a multi-use
path project. This Project, approximately 4-miles long, is Phase I of a proposed a-mile loop in
Springfield. In addition to contributing to the a-mile loop, the path will connect to an extensive
riverfront path system in Eugene and will eventually provide access to the 2,200-acre Howard
Buford Recreation Area. Currentiy, there are no existing off-street bicycle and pedestrian paths
south of Main Street, connecting the east and west sides otSpringfield. The proposed Middle Fork
Path will enhance the ability of Springfield-area residents and the public at large to access the
natural environment in close proximity to their' homes. .
The Middle Fork Path is included as a priority project in the 2004 Park and Recreation
Comprehensive plan adopted by WPRD, the City of Springfield, and Lane County.' The plan
included input from over 750 local residents who identified the provision of off-street bicycle paths
as the most desired outdoor facility the park district could provide. The proposed Middle F.ork
Path is identified as a significant regional bicycle and pedestrian route in the Springfield Bicycle Plan
adopted by the City of Springfield,. The Middle Fork Path is identified as Project No: 21 in Trans
Plan, the metropolitan area's regional tr\lnsportation pian.' The Project is identified as Project No. -
21 in the Central Lane Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Regional Transportation Plan
(RTP),. The Project is also included in the 200~ Rivers to Ridges Open Space Study endorsed by
metro-area governmen'tS.7 .

3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
3.1 Overview.
The proposed multi-use path is approximately 4 miles long and 14 feet wide. The 14-foot wide
width includes a I O-foot wide asphalt path and 2-foot wide unpaved shoulders' on either side. . The
majority of the proposed path will be constructed on existing graveled roads and an unimproved
trail while the remainder.of the proposed path will be constructed in maintained park and utility
property, disturbed riparian and upland forested areas, and relatively undisturbed riparian and
upland forested areas, Trailheads with vehicle parking areas are proposed at each end of the path
(Clearwater Trailhead and Dorris Ranch Trailhead), A turnaround destination point is proposed at
Quarry Creek, approximately mid-way on the path, small landscape/wildlife viewing areas with
benches will be located at approximate half mile points along the path, and water access points are
. proposed at appropriate locations.
Within Springfield's land use jurisdiction, the proposed path begins at South 20' Street and extends
east to a proposed bridge at Quarry Creek, which is within Lane County jurisdiction. A trailhead is
proposed within Dorris Ranch Living History Farm, located near the intersection of South' 20'
Street and Dorris Lane, The proposed path extends from the Dorris Ranch Trailhead'
southeasterly behind the historic T omseth House toward the north bank of the Middle Fork
Willamette River and the base of Quarry Butte. The path continues easterly along the river bank
and the base of Quarry Butte, crossing several private properties between Dorris Ranch and
Quarry Creek. The private parcels involved in the request include the Allen property, the Reinagel
property, and the Knife River rock quarry, The Springfield portion of the project, within
Springfield's UGB, terminates at a proposed bridge crossing. Quarry Creek. .
Implementation of the Middle Fork Path Project will occur in four phases: I) temporary
infrastructure construction, 2) permanent infrastructure construction, 3) removal of temporary
infrastructure, and 4) project site res~oration/mitigation. Temporary infrastructure consists of
project elements that are necessary to construct the Project such as staging areas, and acce.ss
roads. Permanent infrastructure includes the asphalt path, trail heads, rest areas, a permanent
bridge over Quarry Creek (Lane County jurisdiction), a permanent bridge over the Springfield
Milll<\ce (Lane County jurisdiction), retaining walls, and stormwater treatment systems. Once all
Project 'work is completed, temporary structures will be removed and the Project corridor will be
restored to pn!-construction conditions or enhanced to improved conditions, as described below.
Unless otherwise specified, project work described in Section 3.2 and throughout the remainder of
this proposal refers only to work that is proposed to occur. within Springfield's lalld use
jurisdiction.
Proposed construction activities are detailed in SectiC?n 3.2.'

3.2 Proposed Uses and Activities .
The Proposal involves the following primary construction activities within Springfield's land use
jurisdiction:
Pedestrian/Bicycle Path
The typical path section consists of a I O-foot wide paved asphalt surface with a 2-foot wide
unpaved shoulder on each side, A minimum of 2,5 inches of asphalt will be placed over 4-6 inches
of aggregate base to form the path surface, The shoulders consist of 2-foot wide gravel strips on
each side bordered by compacted native soil seeded with native grasses, Pedestrian rails will be
installed in areas where there are slopes steeper than 1:2 or where the embankment drops off and
may pose a hazard to u~ers, Retaining walls will be constructed where the path is along side-slopes
along the base of Quarry Butte and adjacent to the banks of Quarry Creek, as discussed below. To
prevent water ponding on the upland side of the path, cross culverts will be installed under the
path where the alignment crosses existing, non-fish bearing drainage channels and ditches. A
vehicle parking area is proposed at.the west end the path (Dorris Ranch Trailhead), as discussed
below. Stormwater from the parking areas will flow to vegetated infiltration swales, as discussed
below.
Dorris Ranch Trailhead
The proposed Dorris Ranch Trailhead is located in Dorris Ranch Living History Farm, east of the
park's access drive and southeast of the intersection of South 20d Street and Dorris Lane, as
illustrated on Sheet U.O Site Plan (Exhibit E). The trailhead includes an asphalt parking area with
21 vehicle parking spaces (two are ADA compliant), seven bicycle parking spaces,' a restroom, an'
interpretive/informational kiosk, and associated site utilities, landscaping, and stormwater treatment
facilities, as discussed below.
Viewing Areas and Water Access Points
Small viewing areas with benches are proposed at appropriate locations along the path. The
locations of viewing areas were selected based on opportunities for wildlife observation and to
highlight selected landscape views. In addition, within Lane County, the proposal includes two
water access points on the former Georgia Pacific property currently in joint ownership by WPRD,
City of Springfield, and SUB. The proposed water access points will extend from viewing areas and
irivolve informal stairs, constructed of gravel and concrete, extending to the OHWM of the Middle
Fork Willamette River. No work is proposed below the OWHM for construction of the water
access points. The water access points are designed to provide swimming, fishing, and small non-
motorized boating (i.e. canoe, kayak, etc.) opportunities for path users.
Retaining Walls
As the proposed alignment approaches the Middle Fork Willamette River from Dorris Ranch, the
alignment turns east to northeast and.continues along bench-like topography formed by terrace
deposits, As it continues east, the alignment crosses areas of fill, likely produced during mining
operations of the quarry located to the north. In the vicinity of Quarry Creek, the alignment
passes several outcrops of relatively hard basalt.
Within this narrow corridor that directly parallels the Middle Fork Willamette River described
above, retaining walls are proposed adjacent to the path, Proposed retaining walls are I~~ Receive d'
between the river top-of-bank and extreme slopes associated with Quarry Butte; as illustrated on, '

Sheets L 1.3-L 1.5 Site Plan (Ex~ibit E). Proposed retaining walls are designed to minimize
environmental impacts by avoiding excessive excavation on ,the uphill side of the path and avoiding
fill on the downhill side of the path. 'I .
During the Feasibility Study for the project, the Applicant evaluated alternative alignments that
placed the p'ath further from the river and higher up on the slopes of Quarry Butte. The southern
alignment was'selected based on factors including: the ability to locate the path on flatter bench-like
topography adjacent to the river as opposed to the extreme side slopes of Quarry Butte; a desire
to be at or near existing grade approaching Quarry Creek in order to avoid construction of
. switchbacks extending from higher slopes to reach the proposed Quarry Creek Bridge crossing;
and, the need ,to keep a safe distance from the active quarry operation, Retaining walls proposed
are the minimum necessary to construct the project, designed to reduce the overall project
footprint, and minimize cut and fill, as noted above. , '
The proposed retaining walls along the path will be comprised of 9 separate .segments, as illustra~ed
on Sheets A I.O-A 1.7 Plans and Elevations (Exhibit E), The walls vary in height from approximately
3 feet up to 12 feet. Two types of retaining walls are proposed; soil nail walls and block walls.
Based on recommendations contained in the project geotechnical report (Exhibit j), soil nail walls
are proposed where the retained slope is 1.5H: I V or steeper and where the required wall height
for the retained slope is greater than 10 feet. I. Block walls are proposed for locations with flatter
slopes and lower wall heights, Of the 9 segments, only one wall segment (Wall #6) will require
work near the OHWM of the Middle Fork Willamette River. The extreme steepness of the uphill
slope in this segment of the project prevents locating the path further from the river bank.
All heavy equipment used duringwall cons.truction will be stationed above the OHWM ofthe
Middle Fork Willamette River. Containment measures associated with work below the OHWM of
the Middle Fork Willamette River include erosion control measures, as illustrated on Sheets CO,I,
C I.O-C 1.5 Grading Plan (Exhibit E) and detailed in the Appli~ant's construction contractor's
Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP),
Stormwater Management "
The proposed project will result .in approximately 2.21 acres of net new impervious surface and is
subject to stormwater quality and quantity performance standards from multiple federal, state, and
local agencies including USFWS, NMFS, ODEQ, ODOT, Lane County, and the City of Springfield.
The applicability of a water quality standard is confined only to the parking lots at the trailheads
(Dorris Ranch and Clearwater Park). Through discussions and correspondence with NMFS and
ODEQ it has been confirmed that the stormwater runoff from pedestrian/bike trails does not
require typical treatment through Best Management Practices (BMPs) associated with roadways.
Additionally, current ODOT policy states that water quality mitigation is not required for non-
traffic bearing elements, such as sidewalks and separated bike paths. I I

Stormwater runoff from the proposed path will be treated via overland flow through native soils
planted with grass and vegetation to facilitate I 00 percent infiltration of stormwater generated
from paved surfaces. In areas where runoff from the path becomes concentrated or extensive
during storm events, existing upland and riparian vegetation that borders the length of the path, as
well as proposed restoration measures, will prevent erosion. Erosion control BMPs will be
installed and maintained throughout the duration of the Project, as illustrated on Sheets CO. I ,
C I.O-C 1.5 Grading Plan (Exhibit E),
The Dorris Ranch Trailhead will create approximately 0.37-acre of new paved impervious surface.
This includes 0.3 I-acre for vehicular traffic and parking, and 0.06-acre for bike and pedestrian areas.
The trailhead includes proposed water quality treatment facilities for the vehicular traffic and
parking areas, as illustrated on Sheet LI.O Site Plan (Exhibit E). The bike and pedestrian' areas will
be allowed to sheet-flow and infiltrate into restored areas. The parking lot will be constructed
without curbs to allow runoff to sheet-flow. Vegetated infiltration basins designed to capture and
infiltrate stormwater will catch runoff leaving the parking area.
Site Restoration and Mitigation
Within Springfield's land use jurisdiction, the total estimated area of ground disturbance, both
temporary and permanent, within the Project corridor is roughly 8.30 acres. Ground disturbing
activities include path and parking lot grading and construction, retaining wall construction, and
bridge construction. Approximately 122 trees are proposed for removal in Springfield,
Approximately 1.4 acres of riparian and upland vegetation will be removed as a result of project
activities,
All stream banks, soils, and vegetation (outside permanent path and bridge footprints) disturbed by
the Project will be restored to pre-construction conditions or enhanced to better conditions,
Disturbed areas will be seeded and mulched with a permanent erosion control native seed mix or
planted with native woody vegetation where appropriate.
In addition to site restoration in disturbed areas adjacent to the proposed path alignment,
approximately 1.4 acres of riparian habitat will be restored in a proposed Riparian Mitigation Site.
This additional mitigation site is an area of low r'iparian area function, due the prevalence of invasive
species and remnant riprap deposits.
The proposed Riparian Mitigation Site is shown in Exhibit I Riparian Mitigation Plans and is located
on property jointly purchased by WPRD, the City of Springfield, and SUB for the purposes of open
space preservation and recreation, The property is located within Lane County's'land use
jurisdiction. The Riparian Mitigation Site was carefully chosen based on factors including:
consultation with NMFS, ODFW, City of Springfield, and project biologists and ecologists; a desire
to concentrate mitigation efforts within one large.site rather than several sites; and, the joint public
ownership of the parcel, which ensures long-term viability of the mitigation project.
Proposed restoration and mitigation will compensate for potential impacts associated with riparian
vegetation removal within the project corridor. Restored riparian areas will be replanted with a
diverse mix of native shrubs and trees, as illustrated on Sheets LO,2, L2.0-L2.5 Landscape Plan
(Exhibit E). Date Received:

,A total of 0.028-acre of wetlands will be impacted by the project.'2 Compensatory mitigation for
wetland impacts will be accomplished through the purchase of 0.03 wetlan'd mitigation credits at
the West Eugene Mitigation Bank.
In-Water.Work
The proposed project will require work below the OHWM, of the Middle Fork Willamette River.
All work below the OHWM for the Project will be conducted during the Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) in-water work period for the Middle Fork Willamette River Qune I -
October 31). Work.to.be completed in this, period will consist of. retaining wall construction,
During the in-water work period for the Middle Fork Willamette River, water levels will likely be
well below the OHWM of these systems, as water levels ge'nerally peak in December. Therefore,
work is not expected to occur within the wetted ,channel of the Middle Fork Willamette River,
Construction below the OHWM during this period will minimize potential impacts to Chinook
salmon and other sensitive fish species present in the Middle Fork Willamette River and/or Quarry
Creek.'" .
