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; <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 broad discretion for <br /> addressing potential impacts of construction related activities, so long as the erosion prevention <br /> measures achieve the desired outcomes. These rules therefore do not specify or mandate the use of <br /> certain erosion prevention measures, and instead, provide .flexibility to choose or design erosion <br /> prevention measures subject to review by the City. The issuance of an erosion prevention permit <br /> by the City will not necessarily reflect concurrence by the City that the proposed measures will work. <br /> Instead, the City' s review may be more limited in many cases, relying on the certification of the <br /> owner' s certified professional that the proposed measures will achieve the mandated outcomes.
