<br /> REVIEW STANDARDS
<br /> State statute (ORS 196.681) provides the standards the Division uses in reviewing a
<br /> plan for approval as a wetland conservation plan.
<br /> 1. Uses and activities permitted in the plan including fill or removal, or both, conform
<br /> to sound policies of conservation and will not interfere with public health and safety.
<br /> The Plan specifies wetland protection, enhancement, restoration, and fill areas. The
<br /> Plan designates 259 acres for development, 528 acres for protection and 491 acres for
<br /> conservation. Fill activities have been restricted to sites that have been hydrologically
<br /> isolated (Fill Sites D2b, D2a, F1, F2, G1, E3, I2a, 12b, C6a, C6b, C6c, C6d, C6f, C7, C1,
<br /> A4g, A4b, A4c, and A3c) or disturbed (H2, 11 & A3a). Fill and mitigation by restoration or
<br /> enhancement are balanced to provide a net functional value gain (Table 1, p. 36). Uses
<br /> and activities in the Plan affecting wetlands and waterways include recreational trail
<br /> location, education and interpretation, drainage maintenance, buffer requirements,
<br /> mitigation construction, mitigation monitoring, stormwater management, and land
<br /> acquisition. The Plan's requirements are designed to protect instream water quality,
<br /> habitat and public health and safety.
<br /> 2_ Uses and activities permitted in the plan including fill or removal, or both, are not
<br /> inconsistent with the protection, conservation and best use of the water resources of this
<br /> state and the use of state waters for navigation, fishing, and public recreation.
<br /> Implementing the Plan will result in the acquisition and Tong -term protection of more
<br /> than 1,019 acres of wetlands and adjacent uplands. The City has established a permit
<br /> process to ensure the plan requirements are implemented. The permit process will result
<br /> in permit decisions that establish and ensure mitigation actions are completed. The
<br /> mitigation element of the plan calls for restoration and enhancement of 491 acres of
<br /> disturbed wetland and 307 acres of upland for a total of 798 acres of wetland at full build
<br /> out (details are developed in the Mitigation Manual). The plan will enable the city to
<br /> integrate channel maintenance and natural resource protection through channel widening
<br /> and restofatign. The plan will protect and restore the riparian fringe of Amazon Creek,
<br /> Willow Creek and the A -3 Channel. These actions will conserve the public use and
<br /> recreational-values of the waterways. The recreation element of the Plan identifies trail,
<br /> access and observation locations.
