<br /> <br />The City Council adopted the Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan (CSWMP) in 1993 which <br />provides a policy framework for stormwater services provided by the City. CSWMP includes specific <br />policy direction to: “Create, implement and enforce water quality based drainage standards (structural <br />and non-structural) for new development” (policies 1.2 and 1.5 and Implementation Measure #P&A7). <br /> <br />The City of Eugene received its first National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit <br />in 1994, a requirement of the Clean Water Act for communities greater than 100,000 in population. The <br />City’s NPDES stormwater permit was renewed in March 2004. An evaluation of the City’s stormwater <br />management program in light of the new permit requirements identified adoption of stormwater <br />development standards (Attachment B: BMP E4) as a gap in the City’s Stormwater Management Plan <br />which needs to be filled in order to remain in compliance with the City’s NPDES permit. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br />Not applicable, this is a public hearing only. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />The City Manager recommends that the Mayor and City Council convene the public hearing.
