SECTION 1 Introduction • Provide a dynamic and flexible program that can be refined based on a changing regulatory climate. This report represents the final River Road Santa Clara Basin Plan, Volume VIII of an eight - volume set. The Initial Study Towards the Development of an Integrated Stormwater Management Strategy for the River Road Santa Clara Basin (Initial Study) was developed in 2002, and held in draft form pending resolution of inter jurisdictional issues as well as additional information gathering and analysis. In 2004, subsequent to entering into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA), the City of Eugene and Lane County commenced with a joint effort to finalize the Initial Study. Outreach to the River Road and Santa Clara Community Organizations was conducted periodically throughout the process. This report incorporates feedback received from these initial public outreach efforts. The City completed the other seven volumes of the Stormwater Basin Master Plan that summarize and document integrated strategies for each of the other basins in Eugene. Volume I provides an overview of the project, describes the process for developing integrated strategies, and summarizes the information that is presented in detail in the basin - specific volumes. Each of the six companion volumes covers a specific drainage basin as follows: Volume II - Amazon Creek, Volume III - Bethel IDanebo, Volume IV Laurel Hill, Volume V - Willakenzie, Volume VI - Willamette River, Volume VII - Willow Creek. This document is Volume VIII River Road Santa Clara. NOTE: It should be noted that the term basin is typically used to refer to a defined surface area that drains to a common discharge point. However, for the purposes of this study, the term basin is used to refer to a specific planning or study area. While the planning or study areas were developed based on topography and drainage patterns, they may include several discharge points, or they may exclude specific tributary areas based on convenience for planning purposes. In some cases, portions of the basin were not included in the planning area as they are managed by other jurisdictions. The basin areas as defined in this plan are also further divided into major subbasins and subbasins as described in Section 3.0. The overall process conducted to develop integrated strategies for each of the City's stormwater basins included in the Stormwater Basin Master Plans consisted of the following thirteen steps. The details regarding each of these steps are provided in Volume I of the City's Stormwater Basin Master Plans. Step 1) Compile information regarding the unique characteristics of each basin that are related to the stormwater drainage system. Step 2) Identify problems and opportunities associated with the stormwater drainage system with respect to flood control, water quality, natural resources, and maintenance. Step 3) Develop potential solutions in the form of capital projects and development standards for addressing identified problems. Step 4) Evaluate and compare potential solutions in terms of feasibility, costs, and effectiveness. Step 5) Evaluate capital projects to address problems expected under existing conditions.
