Willamette Water 2100 is a research project currently underway, designed to evaluate the effects
of climate change, population growth, and economic growth on the water resources of the
Willamette basin. It is a partnership project of Oregon State University, University of Oregon, and
Portland State University that will provide greater clarity and specificity about climate change
impacts on water and forest resources in our region. More information is available online at:

The City of Eugene holds a permit under the federal Clean Water Act for the municipal
stormwater it discharges directly into the Willamette River and indirectly into the Willamette
River through other local waterways, including Amazon Creek. The permit, formally called the
Phase I National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm
Sewer System (MS4) permit, requires that the city reduce the discharge of pollutants from the
municipal system to the maximum extent practicable, and includes monitoring and reporting
requirements, as well as a set of best management practices that define the city's Stormwater
Management Plan (SWMP).

Appendix D: Funding Programs
Are initial, maintenance, and administrative costs
taken into account?
Has funding been secured for the proposed action?
If not, what are the potential funding sources
(public, non-profit, and private?)
How will this action affect the fiscal capability of the
community?
What burden will this action place on the tax base or
local economy?
What are the budget and revenue effects of this
activity?
Does the action contribute to other community
goals, such as capital improvements or economic
development?
What benefits will the action provide? (This can
include dollar amount of damages prevented,
number of homes protected, credit under the CRS,
potential for funding under the HMGP or the FMA
program, etc.)
