The same personnel who assisted in the preparation of <br /> these standards, will be either designing or reviewing the plans <br /> for these two projects. An Informational Circular is enclosed to <br /> give guidance on requirements for the portion being proposed as <br /> the ACE City Project. <br /> Levee inspectors for your "ACE" project will be briefed <br /> regarding approved planting variations and other modifications to <br /> existing structures noted on plans. These changes may differ <br /> slightly from our proposed vegetation standard. <br /> Your comments about staying away from exotic plants and <br /> allowing more natural species are being heard from several <br /> agencies. Thank you for sending us your listings of native plant <br /> species recommended for the Pacific Northwest. <br /> The City of Eugene has a record of excellent levee <br /> maintenance and we appreciate the cooperation given us during <br /> recent annual inspections.
