turtles and Fender's blue butterflies as well as improve shading of Amazon Creek. The channel banks, which are <br />currently very steep, will also be re-contoured to create a more gradual slope, allowing western pond turtle and Fender's <br />blue butterfly to move more easily between the creek and the adjacent prairie. Following excavation and re-contouring, <br />the entire site will be re-planted with a wide diversity of native plants that are typical of these habitats. The majority of <br />stream channel work should be completed by October 15. <br /> <br />The second project is focused on enhancing the 50 acres of wetlands that lie to the west of the A-1 Channel. Funded by <br />the City's wetland mitigation bank, the project will generate 24 mitigation credits, which can then be sold to satisfy <br />wetland mitigation requirements for local development projects. The primary objectives of this project are to remove <br />agricultural drainage ditches that were on the site, kill the existing non-native vegetation, and re-plant the entire site with <br />a high diversity of wetland prairie and vernal pool species. For more information on these projects, please call Terry <br />Colvin, Project Manager, at 682-5398, or Eric Wold, Wetlands Program Supervisor, at 682-4888. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 4 <br />September 16, 2004 <br /> <br /> <br />
