• Water quality retrofit projects were identified for specific locations in RR -SC to address high pollutant land uses in built -out areas developed prior to the enactment of Stormwater Development Standards. • Capital projects were identified to address flooding problems on the major stormwater system that were identified by the RR -SC system model under existing and future development conditions. Capital projects will be incorporated into the City's larger list of capital projects, and prioritized in accordance with capital improvement program (CIP) project prioritization criteria. • Support for implementation of Stormwater Development Standards to address the quality of runoff from new development and re- development (Note: Stormwater Development Standards were instituted in 2006 for development inside city limits). The standards include incentives for impervious surface area reduction techniques, and a range of green infrastructure options for meeting the stormwater requirements including rain gardens, filter strips, vegetated swales, and green roofs. • Support for increased implementation of green infrastructure and low impact development (LID) practices through potential administrative adjustments, integration of LID practices with other initiatives, land use code amendments and other program enhancements. (Note: City Council direction on implementing LID was provided at a January 17, 2007 worksession on "Green Infrastructure and Low Impact Development" and a September 17, 2008 follow up work session). Support for protecting certain waterways with a strong relationship to those considered water quality impaired by the State of Oregon, and not otherwise protected, including segments of waterways in RR -SC: Flat Creek, Spring Creek, and the East Santa Clara Waterway (Note: The City's /WQ Water Quality Overlay Zone was enacted in 2009 and applies to certain properties within the Eugene city limits including in RR -SC. It also applies to certain properties outside city limits and inside the urban growth boundary, (UGB) but only upon annexation). The /WQ Overlay Zone compliments other waterway protections previously adopted by the City and County (namely, Goal 5) to protect wetlands and wildlife habitat. The City of Eugene and Lane County have worked closely together on the basin planning and will continue to collaborate to implement the RR -SC Plan, within the respective agency's funding constraints.
