The goal of the Delta Ponds project is to re-establish vital habitat for native wildlife and provide <br />recreational opportunities for residents in the area. The project began in 2004 with the removal of <br />invasive non-native vegetation, construction of paths and parking areas, and excavation of inlets to <br />improve water flow. In fall 2005, weirs were excavated to connect the Willamette River to the ponds. The <br />Delta Ponds project is an ongoing collaboration between the City of Eugene, the Corps of Engineers and <br />other resource agencies. Sixty-five percent of the estimated $6.2 million multi-year project funding is <br />provided through Section 206 of the federal government’s Water Resource Development Act. The City’s <br />share of approximately $2 million over the life of the project comes from stormwater fees and 1998 parks <br />bond measure funds.
