U.S. Geological Service 7.5 nfinute quadrangle maps, Statewide Wetlands Inventory maps, and aerial photographs. The boundaries of significant riparian corridors were determined using the standard setback distance from all fish-bearing lakes and streams shown on the inventory as follows: 75 feet upland from the top of each bank along all streams with average annual stream flow greater than 1000 cubic feet per second; and 50 feet upland from the top of each bank alon~ all streams with averaee annual stream flow less than 1000 cubic feet per second. 9. Lane County, Springfield, and Eugene jointly completed the Goal 5 requirements for wetlands for the area between the UGB and the Plan Boundary. The inventory consisted of data from the Statewide Wetlands Inventory. 10. Lane County, Springfield, and Eugene jointly completed the Goal 5 requirements for wildlife habitat for the area between the UGB and the Plan Boundary. The inventory consisted of data from the Oregon Natural Heritage Pro,am and file Oregon Department ofFish and Wildlife, which included: threatened, endangered, and sensitive wildlife species habitat information; sensitive bird site inventories; and wildlife species of concern and/or habitats of concern identified and mapped by the Oregon Department ofFish and Wildlife. The Goal 5 wetland and riparian corridor requirements for the area between the UGB and the Plan Boundary adequately address fish habitat. Consequently, for purposes o[~applying Goal 5 requirements to this portion of the metro area, wildlife does not include fish habitat. Si~mificant wildlife habitat includes only those sites where one or more of the following conditions exist: the habitat has been documented to perform a life support function for wildlife species listed by the federal government as a threatened or endangered species or by the State of Oregon as a threatened, endangered, or sensitive wildlife sl~ecies; the habitat has documented occurrences of more than incidental use by a threatened, endangered, or sensitive wildlife species; the habitat has been documented as a sensitive bird nesting, roostin.~, or watering resource site for osprey or great blue herons; the habitat has been documented to be essential in achievin~ policies or population objectives specified in a wildlife species management plan adopted by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission; or the area is identified and mapped by the Ore~on Department of Fish and Wildlife as habitat for a wildlife species of concern. 11. Springfield and Eugene are required were undertaldng work in 2003 to complete Goal 5 requirements for wetlands, riparian corridors~ and wildlife habitat within their respective urban ~rowth boundaries for adoption by the applicable jurisdictional lm~d use authorities. Each city will conduct a sevarate study to: inventory; determine si~'fificance; identify conflictin~ uses; analyze the economic, social, environmental and energy consequences that could result from a decision to allow, limit, or prohibit a conflicting use; and implement protection measures. Lane County and the respective city jointly will adopt the inventory and protection measures for the area outside the city limits and inside the.
