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