2.3 Purpose and Need
Development of the proposed Middle Fork Willamette River Loop Path is a high priority of WPRD,
which is the recipient of a 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, Currently, there are no existing off-street bicycle' and pedestrian paths
south of Main Street, connecting the east and west sides of Springfield, 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.3 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 Fork
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 transportation plan.s 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 2003 Rivers to Ridges Open Space Study endorsed by
metro-area governments.] .
The purpose ofthe project is as follows:
. To comply with the goals and objectives of Traf!s Plan and the RTP to provide bicycle and
pedestrian routes that meet current and future transportation demands in the region
. To implement a priority project listed in the WPRD Comprehensive Plan

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 wiil be located at approximate half mile points along the path, and water access points are
proposed at ap'propriate, locations.
Within Springfield's land use jurisdiction, the proposed path begins at South 2"d Street and extends
east to a proposed bridge at Quacry Creek, which is within ~ane County jurisdiction. A trailhead is
proposed within Dorris Ranch Living History Farm, located near the intersection of South 2"d
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 restoration/mitigation. Temporary infrastructure consists of
project elements that are necessary to construct the, Project such as staging areas, and access
roads, Permanent infrastructure includes the asphalt path, trailheads, rest areas, a permanent
bridge over Quarry Creek (Lane County jurisdiction), a permanent bridge over the Springfield
Millrace (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 pre-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 land use
, ,
jurisdiction.
Proposed construction activities are detailed in Section 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 users. 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 2'd Street and Dorris Lane, as
illustrated on Sheet L 1.0 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
interpretivelinformational 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
involve 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 eMe"Receivec :
motorized boating (i.e. canoe, kayak, etc.) opportunities for path users.
Retaining Walls. NOV 1 2 2009
As the proposed alignment approaches the Middle Fork Willamette River from Dor~i~ Ranch, th~
alignment turns east to northeast and continues along bench-like topography for~919c:&~lPlttal
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 located
between the river top-of-bank and extreme slopes associated with Quarry Butte, as illustrated on

PERMIT APPLICATION
Sheets L 1.3-L 1.5 Site Plan (Exhibit E). Proposed retaining walls are designed to minimize
environmental impacts by avoiding excessive excavation on the uphill side ofthe path and avoiding
fill on the downhill side of the path.
During the Feasibility Study for the project, the Applicant evaluated alternative alignments that
placed the path 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 illustrated
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 l.sH: IV or steeper and where the required wall height
for the retained slope is greater than 10 feet.'D 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 during wall construction will be stationed above the OHWM of the.
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 Applicant'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 trail heads
(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."

Stormwater runoff from the proposed path will be treated via overland flow through native soils
planted with grass and vegetation to facilitate 100 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' ofthe 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 O,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 L 1.0 Site Plan (Exhibit E). The bike and pedestrian areas will
be allowed to sheet-flow and infiltrate into restored areas. The parl<inglot 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 veg-etation 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 riparian 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,O-L2.5 I...a.ndsca~ Plan, .

Native riparian vegetation removed during construction activities will be replaced by an equal or
greater amount, and riparian trees greater than 6 inches in DBH will be replanted at a minimum 2: I
ratio within the project area. The Applicant proposes planting 348 trees to compensate for the
removal of 122 trees within Springfield's land use jurisdiction.
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 wetland 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 generally 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 13
3.3 Conservation Measures
The Applicant's BA for the project details conservation measures which are summarized below and
incorporated by reference herein, Conservation measures are intended to minimize or avoid
environmental impacts to species and their habitat. Conservation measures are incorporated into
the project design to minimize and avoid adverse effects to Chinook Salmon, as well as other fish
species and Essential Fish Habitat (EFH). Conservation measures are described below:
. All work conducted below the OHWM of Quarry Creek and the Middle Fork Willamette
River shall be conducted during the ODFW agreed upon in-water work period Qune I -
October 31),
. Sediment fencing and straw wattles will be used during installation of the temporary work
bridge and during construction of the retaining walls to prevent downstream increases in
turbidity.
. Compost blankets will be installed along the Project corridor, and the project will only use
handwork instead of large machinery below the OHWM to further prevent soil erosion and
increases in turbidity.
. Vegetation clearing for the Project will be minimized to the extent practicable. The removal
of riparian trees will be replanted within the project area at a minimum 2: I ratio.

3.4 Duration and Sequence of Construction
The project is planned for construction in two phases: I) Clearwater Park to Quarry Creek, and 2)
Quarry Creek to Dorris Ranch. Phase I involves the Lane County portion of the project and is
expected to begin with surveying and tree clearing in June 20 I 0, Substantial construction for Phase
I is expected to be completed by December 20 10, with general site restoration, planting; and
erosion control continuing into February 20 II. Phase 2 involves the Springfield portion of the
project and is expected to begin in 20 II, however funding is not yet secured,
Construction of Phase I of the project will begin at the Clearwater Trailhead: A general sequence
for proposed project activities is provided below:
I) Survey path location/clearing limits and coriduct tree clearing in compliance with the MBT A.
2) Conduct overall Project mobiliza~ion, remove down .trees, implement environmental
controls (i,e, containment and sediment control measures), and establish staging areas and
access routes. .
3) Construct path, bridges, and ClearWater Trailhead,
4) Conduct site restoration/stabilization (grading, planting, seeding), remove temporary
facilities, complete implementation of landscape plan and riparian mitigation.
The actual construction sequence, determined by the construction contractor, may vary from the
above sequence: All temporary erosion controls will be installed according to the ECSP developed
for the project by the Applicant's construction contractor. A pollution control plan (PCP) will also
be developed by the construction contractor to prevent project-related pollution in the project
corridor.
