(a) The quality, quantity, and location information; (b) Supplemental or superseding significance criteria set out in OAR 660-023-0090 through 660-023-0230; and (c) Any additional criteria adopted by the local government, provided these criteria do not conflict with the requirements of OAR 660-023-0090 through 660-023-0230." The inventory being adopted was developed using two sets of Goal 5 Significance Criteria that were applied based upon the type of resource(s) that a site contained. In addition to the quality, quantiW and location information, and the infon-nation gathered as required by OAR 660-023~0090(4), the City adopted additional criteria ¢onsistem with the requirements of-0090) to be applied to riparian corridors and upland wildlife habitat stream co,dom using the standard Goal 5 inventory process, The additional criteria are made -up of Tier 1 and Tier 2 criteria. Each of the Tier 1 and Tier 2 criteria applied to riparian condors and upland wildlife habitat stream corridors further addresses the quantity, quality or location of the resources. In addition to the quality, quantity and location information, and the information gathered as required by 660-023-0110(3), the City apphed the State's "safe harbor" criteria at OAR 660-023- 01 i0(4) to non*stream areas of the identified upland wildlife habitat sties. None of these habitat areas meet these criteria. As such, only those portions of the habitat sites that are stream corridors meeting the standard criteria (discussed above) are on the inventory of significant sites. The City's approach to evaluating the significance of habitat sites was approved by DLCD as being consistent with Goat 5. The following clarification was included in an email from DLCD representative Mark Radabaugh, dated July 3, 2003: "A city may divide use of the standard and safe harbor approach for a single resource sffe when it is determined through the standard process that there are significantly different on-site characteristics that would allow a clear distinction ~ong various potions of the site. For exam_pie, an upland habitat site that includes a si~ificant wildlife habitat condor(s) under the standard process, and is also identified in the safe harbor conditions called out in OAR 660-023-0110(4), could be managed under a partitioned Goal 5 approach if significant distinctions in the on-site characteristics allow defining a clear boundary between adjacent application of the standard process and safe harbor approaches, Under both approaches, the city is required to develop a resource protection program for its -upland resources." On fo~ upland wildlife habitat sites standard Goal 5 inventory process was applied to a portion of the Site and Safe harbor invento~ process was applied to the remainder of the site. The poaions where standard process was apphed were the stream corridors that flowed through the upland wildlife habitat sites. These wate~ays were identified during the standard process, and their presence clearly defines their character as different from the remainder of the upland wildhfe habitat sites where stream corridom do not exist. Eugene's application of standard and safe harbor inventory processes is consistent with both the applicable OAR (660-023-0110) and with DLCD staffs clarification as given above.
