<br />already been filled and mitigated through past permitting. Prior to any development in areas not <br />already delineated or filled, further wetlands analysis and delineation will be required. If wetlands <br />are in fact present, then state and federal wetlands regulations and permitting processes will need <br />to be satisfied before construction, in addition to any related County requirements. <br /> <br />As such, adoption of the current master plan update is consistent with Goal 5 and will not <br />otherwise affect Metro Plan compliance with this Goal. <br /> <br />Goal 6 - Air, Water and Land Resources Quality: To maintain and improve the quality of the air, <br />water, and land resources of the state. <br /> <br />Goal 6 addresses waste and process discharges from development, and is aimed at protecting air, <br />water and land from impacts from those discharges. The proposed refinement plan update does <br />not amend the metropolitan area’s air, water quality or land resource policies. Future <br />development recommended in the updated master plan will be required to comply with all local, <br />state, and federal regulations regarding land, air, and water discharges and emissions. To the <br />extent that any of the future airport improvements within the updated master plan may create <br />additional impacts to air, water or land resources, state and local permitting processes will ensure <br />that discharges do not exceed allowable standards. <br /> <br />The updated Eugene Airport Master Plan otherwise demonstrates that future development can be <br />reasonably expected to comply with applicable environmental laws. As such, adoption of the <br />current master plan update is consistent with Goal 6 and will not otherwise affect Metro Plan <br />compliance with this Goal. <br /> <br />Goal 7 - Areas Subject to Natural Disasters and Hazards: To protect life and property from <br />natural disasters and hazards. <br /> <br />Goal 7 requires that local government planning programs include provisions to protect people and <br />property from natural hazards such as floods, landslides, earthquakes and related hazards, <br />tsunamis and wildfires. The updated Eugene Airport Master Plan is consistent with Goal 7 because <br />the only identified potential natural hazards are areas within the 100-year floodplain located <br />inside the airport boundary, and future development proposed must comply with local, state, and <br />federal regulations pertaining to building and construction relative to floodplain areas. <br /> <br />Limited areas within the airport boundary are in the 100-year floodplain (Zone A). These areas are <br />associated with drainages carrying runoff to the Clear Lake Channel and Amazon Canal system at <br />the periphery of the airport within runway protection zones and other areas not scheduled for <br />immediate development and currently have no operational impacts. If future development were <br />to impact any areas within the 100-year floodplain, it would be subject to applicable regulatory <br />standards and local permitting requirements for floodplain development to ensure life and <br />property is adequately protected. <br /> <br />The airport is too far from the ocean and significant landforms to be subject to natural disasters or <br />hazards such as landslides or tsunamis. Although much of western Oregon is subject to potential <br />earthquake hazards, detailed fault locations have not been mapped for the subject area.
