This effort should include but not be limited to: a. Review of all major public capital expenditure projects for potential air quality impacts. b. Integration of air quality concerns into the comprehensive land use plan. c. Active participation in developing and implementing additional controls, as needed. -2-3C.28 Local governments shall encourage changes to state and federal air quality regulations relating to development of fine particulate standards and related monitoring techniques. g6C.29Prior to the completion of the next Metro Plan update, the air, water, and land resource quality of the metropolitan area will be reassessed. Natural Hazards (Goal 7) Findings 44~._33_. Due to the general nature of soils and geologic mapping, site specific analysis is often necessary to determine the presence of geologic hazards and the severity of soil problems which are constraints to development. Such geologic hazards exist when certain combinations of slope, soil conditions, and moisture conditions render land unstable. g03'4. Unless special precautions are taken, development within the floodway fringe (that portion of the floodplain having a one percent per year chance of occurrence, also known as a 100-year flood) is subject to hazards to life and property from flooding. 2--1-3~5. Many portions of the floodway fringe contain natural assets, such as significant vegetation, wildlife and scenic areas, and productive agricultural lands and are thus, valuable for open space and recreation. On the other hand, because of their central location, some floodway fringe areas within the urban service area are important lands for urban development.
