• <br /> CITY OF EUGENE <br /> STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM <br /> INTERIM DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES <br /> TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM NO. <br /> March 6, 1222- <br /> Subject <br /> Lists of native plants recommended for planting in various situations related to <br /> implementation of the City's stormwater program. <br /> Background <br /> The Comprehensive Stormwater Plan contains a BMP (0M2, Vegetation Management <br /> Program), that recommends that the City's existing vegetation management program be <br /> modified to benefit water quality. Under Task #4, recommended implementation activities <br /> include identifying native species appropriate for local landscape use, and developing criteria <br /> for which native species are appropriate for various landscape and parks planting area <br /> designs. In addition, other planning documents, such as the West Eugene Wetlands Plan, <br /> also identify situations where use of native plants is recommended. However, technical <br /> information regarding what species are appropriate for planting in specific situations has been <br /> limited. This document provides separate lists of native plant species that are believed to be <br /> appropriate for a variety of situations, along with the criteria that were used for selecting <br /> these particular species. Recommended species lists have been developed for the following <br /> situations: <br /> 1) Ornamental Native Plants <br /> These are woody or herbaceous plant species that possess attractive or <br /> distinctive ornamental features. These features could include showy flowers or <br /> fruit, interesting features of leaves, bark, etc, and a refined habitat appropriate <br /> for use in built landscapes. These plants are generally adaptable to garden <br /> conditions or and other urban settings. <br /> Wetland <br /> Scientific Name Common Name Indicator Status' <br /> TREES <br /> Abies grandis grand fir <br /> Acer macrophyllum bigleaf maple FACU- <br /> Alnus rhombifolia white alder FACW <br /> Arbutus menziesii Pacific madrone <br /> Calocedrus decurrens incense -cedar — <br /> Cornus nuttallii Pacific dogwood <br />
