PRELIMINARY DRAFT <br /> FOR REVIEW ONLY <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO <br /> of the <br /> CITY MANAGER <br /> PROPOSED EROSION PREVENTION AND CONSTRUCTION <br /> SITE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE RULE 6.645 <br /> Pursuant to the authority contained in Sections 2.019 and 6.645 of the Eugene Code, 1971, <br /> I intend to adopt Erosion Prevention Administrative Rule R- 6.645, to read and provide: <br /> EROSION PREVENTION ADMINISTRATIVE RULE R -6.645 <br /> R- 6.645 -A Purpose and Intent. <br /> 1. Purpose. These rules implement Sections 6.625 to 6.645 of the Eugene Code, 1971, <br /> which were adopted to restrict the discharge of sediments or other construction related materials, <br /> including hazardous substances, into the City's stormwater system in order to <br /> 1.1 Prevent or minimize, to the maximum extent possible, negative impacts to <br /> water quality and related natural resources resulting from construction activities; and <br /> 1.2 Maintain the capacity of the City's stormwater system by minimizing <br /> sedimentation. <br /> 2. Intent. The intent of these rules, in implementing sections 6.625 to 6.645 of the <br /> Eugene Code, 1971, is to ensure that construction related activities prevent or minimize erosion, <br /> sedimentation, and other stormwater related problems identified in subsection 1 above. To carry-out <br /> the intent of the these rules, it is the goal of the City' s erosion prevention program to review and <br /> respond to all erosion permit applications in a timely manner so that these provisions do not increase <br /> the time frame for issuing other permits. These rules are designed to provide developers and <br /> property owners with broad discretion for addressing potential impacts of construction related <br /> activities, so long as the erosion prevention measures achieve the desired outcomes. These rules <br /> therefore do not specify or mandate the use of certain erosion prevention measures, and instead, <br /> provide applicants with flexibility to choose or design erosion prevention measures subject to review <br /> by the City. The issuance of an erosion prevention permit by the City will not necessarily reflect <br /> concurrence by the City that the proposed measures will work. Instead, the City's review may be <br /> more limited in many cases, relying on the certification of the owners certified professional that the <br /> proposed measures will achieve the mandated outcomes. In such cases, the City's review may be <br /> Proposed Erosion Prevention Administrative Rule R -6.645 - 1 9/16/96 <br /> • <br />
