situation, similar to what was agreed to in Sacramento. A phased approach would allow <br /> the City and the Corps time to plan, design, and finance appropriate levee maintenance <br /> and vegetation management, while applying the best available science and addressing <br /> public safety issues. <br /> In summary, the City of Eugene has made substantial progress on all five required maintenance <br /> actions described in the Corps inspection report. We are seeking dialogue with you and Colonel <br /> Steven Miles to further discuss and investigate the issue of trees on the landward levee slope and toe <br /> for the area outside the UGB. Based on our progress to date, we hope the Corps will continue to <br /> conclude that the Amazon Creek Flood Control Works is in "Acceptable" condition for the <br /> Rehabilitation and Inspection Program. <br /> Please let me know if you have any questions about the contents of this letter.
