The Goal 5 Lnventory of Riparian and Upland Wildlife Habitat Sites within the Eugene Urban Growth Botmdary incorporated m_ultipte reviews of the data sources listed in (3)a-c above, dmSng the development of the inventory. OAR 660-023-0030(3) requires that the local government determine that its inventory data is adequate: "The infbrmation about a p~icular Goal 5 resource site shall be deemed adequate if it provides the location, quality and quantity of the resource as fbllows: (a) Infbrmation aborn location shall include a description or map of the resource area for each site. 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 known examples of the same resource. While a regional comparison is recommended, a comparison with resource sites within the jurisdiction itself is sufficient unless there are no other local examples of the resource. Local gove~ents 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." The Eugene Goal 5 Inventory of Riparian and Upl~d Wildhfe Habitat Sites within the Eugene Urban Growth Boundary includes maps that show the location of each site with sufficient accuracy to determine whether the resource exists for each site. Co~ections to site boundaries based upon pubhc testimony were made at each stage of fhe adoption process. Each site was evaluated using the Wildlife Habitat Assessment method, which provides a nurnerical, relative rating of habitat values for each ske in the inventory against other sites within the Eugene-Springfield area. Portions of some sites were deemed significant, the rule does not require that the comparative value analysis be applied to portions of sites. Information gathered in conjunction with the inventory includes the number and acreage for all sites, including a total fbr each category, which provides an estimate of the relative abundance for each resource type within Eugene's jurisdiction.
