wall locations will be determined after public input is completed as part of the NEP A process. Additionally, as stated on page 13 of the written statement, the applicant proposes the following general measures: · Continue public involvement through design and construction . limit work hours . limit noise Based on these findings, this policy is satisfied. C.26 Local Governments shall continue to monitor, to plan for, and to enforce applicable air and water quality standards and shall cooperate in meeting applicable federal, state and local air and water quality standards. As previously stated under Goal 6, which is incorporated herein by reference, it is not anticipated that the replacement bridges will have a permanent adverse impact on air quality as the bridges are replacing an existing bridge. The applicant is proposing several measures including site preparation, site construction, coordination and post development measures discussed under Metro Plan Policy E.2, which is incorporated herein by reference, to reduce and mitigate impacts to water quality, consistent with this policy. In addition, water quality impacts will be further reviewed for compliance with local standards under the local permitting process for Willamette Greenway permit, Water Resources Conservation Overlay Zone and the 75-foot riparian setback and under the NEP A Environmental Assessment, subject to applicable requirements. C.30 Except as otherwise allowed according to Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) regulations, development shall be prohibited in floodways if it could result in an increased flood level. The floodway is the channel of a river or other water course and III-C-16 the adjacent land area that must be reserved to discharge a one-percent-chance flood in any given year. C.31 When development is allowed to occur in the floodway or floodway fringe, local regulations shall control such development in order to minimize the potential danger to life and property. Within the UGB, development should result in in-filling of partially developed land. Outside the UGB, areas affected by the floodway and floodway fringe shall be protected for their agricultural and sand and gravel resource values, their open space and recreational potential, and their value to water resources. C.32 Local governments shall require site-specific soil surveys and geologic studies where potential problems exist. When problems are identified, local governments shall require special design considerations and construction measures be taken to offset the soil and geologic constraints present, to protect life and property, public investments, and environmentally-sensitive areas. Regarding Policy C.30 and C.3l, as discussed under Statewide Planning Goal 7, Natural Hazards, which is incorporated herein by reference, the 1-5 Willamette Bridge Project is partially located within a FEMA designated regulatory floodway and floodplain. Therefore, the desi.5rn of the replacement bridge must satisfy the regulations set forth in the National Flood Insurance Program Exhibit A - Findings Page 26
