SECTION 5 Stormwater Related Natural Resources management tools (i.e., capital projects or development standards) to address the identified problems and opportunities. Development of these stormwater management tools was the result of an all -day basin assessment meeting, attended by a large multi - disciplinary group of people including staff with experience in water quality, engineering, maintenance, natural resources, planning, and groundwater resources, and a half -day multi - disciplinary meeting focused on underground injection controls. In both instances, preliminary ideas were developed based on the goals and objectives of the project. This section describes the capital projects and development standards that were considered to address the identified stormwater - related natural resource problems and opportunities. 5.2.1 Capital Project Alternatives The following capital projects were considered that would address stormwater related natural resources problems and opportunities: RRSC — 4 - Stream Corridor Acquisition — Stream corridors and specific sites with relatively high stormwater values which are also at risk of future development would be identified for acquisition. The following corridor (shown on Figure 3 -6) was identified for acquisition in the River Road Santa Clara Basin, in the 2000 Stream Corridor Acquisition Study: Willamette Overflow, also referred to as the East Santa Clara Waterway. *RRSC — 1 - Citywide Annual Budget Line Item — Streambank Stabilization — This would be an annual budget line item for identifying and implementing streambank stabilization projects to help streams adjust to increased runoff volumes while limiting negative impacts associated with downcutting, sedimentation, and erosion. Where appropriate, bioengineering techniques would be used. *RRSC — 3 - Citywide Annual Budget Line Item — Outfall Stabilization — This would be an annual budget line item for identifying and retrofitting storm drainage system outfalls which are creating localized erosion and bank stability problems. * These two CPs were also listed in the water quality section (subsection 4.3.1). It should be noted that Lane County is limited by Road Fund constraints and by the inability to spend money outside of the County road right -of -way. In addition, at the time of writing of this report, Lane County funding for CPs has not been identified. 5.2.2 Development Standards Alternatives The following development standards were considered for addressing identified stormwater related natural resources problems and opportunities in the River Road Santa Clara basin. • Water Quality Waterway Protections — Using this approach, criteria would be established for identifying waterways of significance to protect for their water quality functions. See Section 4.3.2 for more detail about the Water Quality Protected Waterways. 0:\25695978 Eugene RR -SC Final Basin P1an\Master P1anTINAL 2- 2010\Master_Plan 3- 11- 10_FINAL_ Word _Version.doc 5-4
