ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-03-01-F of the City Manager pro tern of the City of Eugene AMENDMENT OF EROSION PREVENTION AND CONSTRUCTION SITE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES ADMINISTRATIVE RULE 6.645; AND REPEAL OF ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERNO. 58-00-26-E The CRy Manager pro tern of the City of Eugene finds that: A. Sections 2.019 and 6.645 of the Eugene Code, 1971, authorize the City Manager to adopt rules deemed necessary for the administration and enforcement of the provisions of the Eugene Code, 1971. B. Pursuant to that authority and based on the findings contained/n Administrative Order No. 58-03-01/ssued on January 15, 2003, I proposed the amendment of the Erosion Prevention and Construction Site Management Practices Administrative Rule and repeal of Admin/strative Order No. 58-00-26-F. Co Notice of the proposed amendment was given by rnak/ng copies available to any person who had requested such notice and by publication for five consecutive days in the Register Guard, a newspaper of general ckculation w/thin the City, on January 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23, 2003. Notice provided that wrkten comments would be received for a period of 15 days from the date of the first publication. Two comments were received to wh/ch I make the following findings: Comment 1: The definition o f"Maxh~um Extent Practicable" provides that a practice or action shall be considered "cost-effective" so long as the cost is less than or equal to $1.50 per square foot of chsturbed area. Costs to be considered include krrplementation and ma/ntenance ofconstructionsitemanagementmeasures. Costsnot consideredinclude: design preparation, preparation of construction site management plan/template, actions taken to correct violations,/nclud/ng any civil penalties imposed, and permanent landscaping and associated fees. Why shouldn't design and processing costs be included in the per square foot cost.? Finding: The rev/sed definition of''Maximum Extent Practicable" removed perm/t fbes from the costs that will be considered cost-effective in order to focus on the implementation and maintenance of BMPs. Design preparation, preparation of construction site management plan/template, actions taken to correct violations, including any civil penalties imposed, and permanent landscaping and associated fees, have never been included /n the $1.50 calculation. The $1.50 per square foot ofdistur~d area is to represent the effective/mplementation which is strictly material and/nstallation costs to protect a site. No changes were made to tiffs role as a result of this comment. Administrative Rule - 1 C \l'EMP~03ErostonPrev-2ao wpd
