Draft 9/29/14 <br />governing beneficial reuse or discharge of effluent and beneficial reuse or disposal of <br />residuals. <br />Services toDevelopment Within the Urban Growth Boundary: Water <br />Findings <br />13. Springfield relies on groundwater for its sole source of water. EWEB water source is the <br />McKenzie River and EWEB is developing groundwater sources. The identification of <br />projects on the Public Facilities and Services Plan planned facilities map does not confer <br />rights to a groundwater source. <br />14. Known and potential groundwater pollution exists in the metropolitan area. Known and <br />potential sources of groundwater pollution include septic tank wastes,. industrial, <br />commercial, and residential runoff; leakage from sanitary sewer pipes; leaking from <br />sanitary landfills; agricultural non-point sources (spraying and animal wastes); chemical <br />and petroleum spills, and natural contaminants (arsenic). <br />15. Beneficial uses of groundwater in the metropolitan area include domestic and municipal <br />water supplies, industrial supplies, and domestic and commercial irrigation. The value <br />and frequency of these uses varies among incorporated, urbanizable, and rural areas. <br />Policies <br />G.10 Eugene and Springfield and their respective utility branches, EWEB and SUB, shall <br />ultimately be the water service providers within the UGB. <br />G.11 Continue to take positive steps to protect groundwater supplies.
