<br />areas, all development projects that disturb property suspected or known to contain contaminants in <br />the soil or groundwater, and all development with new covered vehicle parking areas or existing <br />parking structures that are being redeveloped. This provision is intended to prevent stormwater <br />pollution by eliminating pathways that may introduce pollutants into stormwater . This provision <br />requires applicants to design and construct source control measure in accordance with the <br />Stormwater Management Manual. <br /> <br />? <br /> <br />Metro Plan Policies - The above-described stormwater development standards are consistent with <br />the following Metro Plan Policies: <br /> <br />Environmental Resources Element: <br /> <br /> <br />18. Local governments shall develop plans and programs which carefully manage development on <br />hillsides and in water bodies, and restrict development in wetlands in order to protect the scenic <br />quality, surface water and groundwater quality, forest values, vegetation, and wildlife values of <br />those areas. <br /> <br />21. Local government shall continue to monitor, to plan for, and to enforce applicable air and <br />water quality standards and shall cooperate in meeting applicable federal, state, and local air and <br />water quality standards. <br /> <br />25. Eugene shall maintain and improve and Springfield shall adopt hillside development <br />regulations. <br /> <br />Public Facilities and Services Element Services to Development Within the Urban Growth <br />- <br />Boundary: Stormwater <br /> <br />G.13 Improve surface and ground water quality and quantity in the metropolitan area by <br />developing regulations or instituting programs for stormwater to: <br />a. Increase public awareness of techniques and practices private individuals can employ to <br />help correct water quality and quantity problems; <br />b. Improve management of industrial and commercial operations to reduce negative water <br />quality and quantity impacts; <br />c. Regulate site planning for new development and construction to better manage pre- and <br />post-construction storm runoff, including erosion, velocity, pollutant loading, and drainage; <br />d. Increase storage and retention and natural infiltration of storm runoff to lower and delay <br />peak storm flows and to settle out pollutants prior to discharge into regulated waterways; <br />e. Require on-site contracts and development standards, as practical, to reduce off-site <br />impacts from stormwater runoff; <br />f. Use natural and simple mechanical treatment systems to provide treatment for potentially <br />contaminated runoff waters; <br />g. Reduce street-related water quality and quantity problems; <br /> <br /> <br />Exhibit A to Ordinance No. ___ <br />Findings of Consistency <br /> <br />
