a given site met, the higher priority it was given for that category. The following criteria were used to identify those sites suitable for and deserving of protection: 1. Presence of rare plants. 2. Site has Metropolitan Plan designation of Natural Resource. 3. Site is within the loo year floodplain. 4. Site is near a perennial waterway. 5. Site is connected geographically or hydrologically to other wetlands or waterways. 6. Site contains a high diversity of wildlife habitat ar contributes to the diversity of wildlife habitat within the region 7. Protection of site would further the goals and objectives of this plan. 8. Presence of unique VL~illamette Prairie Grassland plant community. The Sweetland site, considered separately from the larger adjacent wetland to the east, meets criteria #'s 4 and 5. The Shelton-Turnbull site, considered separately from the larger adjacent wetland to the north, meets criteria #'s 5 and 8. Typically, sites that were designated for protection met 4 to 6 of the criteria. The following criteria were used to evaluate sites for possible development: 1. Prior to adoption of the Plan, the site has an approved wetland impact permit from the Oregon Division of State Lands and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, or an approved Final Environmental Impact Statement. 2. The site is relatively isolated or disconnected from the larger system of wetlands and waterways. 3. The site is served by existing streets, roads, sanitary sewers and municipal water. 4. The site is adjacent to or surrounded by existing development. 5. The site has frontage on a major highway or street. The Sweetland site, considered separately from the larger adjacent wetland to the east, meets criteria #'s 3 and 4. The Shelton-Turnbull site, considered separately from the larger adjacent wetland to the north, meets criteria #'s 3 and 4, also. Conclusions: Neither the Sweetland site nor the Shelton-Turnbull site, when compared with the criteria given in the '~E~VP, come out strongly far either protection or development.

Incorporation into the plan of new inventory material which relates to a statewide goal; or Findings: The revised wetland delineation which is a type of Goal 5 inventory} for the SheltonWTurnbull site revealed a different configuration of wetlands from what was understood at the time of wEwP adoption.
