OAR 660-023-0030(3) requires that the local government determine that its inventory data is adequate: "The information about a particular Goal 5 resource site shall be deemed adequate if it provides the location, quality and quantity of the resource as follows: (a) Infbrmation about location shall include a description or map of the resource area for each ske. The information must be sufficient to determine whether a resource exists on a particular site. However, a precise location of the resource for a particular site, such as would be required for building permits, is not necessary at this stage in the process. (b) Information on quality shall indicate a resource site's value relative to other lmo~ examples of the same resot~ce.

Local governments shall consider any determinations about resource quality provided in available state or federal inventories. (c) Information on quantity shall include an estimate of the relative abundance or scarcity of the resource."

Corrections to site boundaries based upon public testimony were made at each stage of the adoption process.

Portions of same sites were deemed significant, the rule does not require thai the comparative value analysis be applied to portions of sites. Information gathered in conjunction with the invemory includes the number and acreage fbr all s~tes~ including a total for each category, which provides an estimate of the relative abundance for each resoume type w/thin Eugene's jurisdicfion~ O~ 660-023-0030(4) requires that the local jurisdiction determine the significance of resource sites~ "The determination of significance shall be based on:
