# Requirement or Solution <br /> 1'es/No <br /> 2 When development must occur within the ~n~neSalmon Guidelines Area, <br /> locate the project as far from the top-of--bank as possible. The further the project is <br /> located from the top of bank, the less potential negative impact to salmon habitat. <br /> 3 If any vegetation will be removed in the <br /> Salmon Guidelines Area or <br /> any landscaping will be implemented, plant exclusively native riparian vegetation. <br /> The document "Willamette River Riparian plant Communities, Eugene, Oregon", <br /> prepared by Bruce Newhouse of Salix Associates, provides valuable information <br /> for determining what plants would be suitable for any given location. It is <br /> available at http: //ceonline/Programs/Salmon Team/. <br /> i <br /> Availability of native riparian species is usually limited at commercial nurseries. <br /> Therefore, it is very important to contact nurseries well before the actual planting <br /> time so that the desired plants can be obtained in time. If sufficient quantity or <br /> i <br /> diversity of native species is not available, and non-natives become needed, do <br /> <br /> j NOT plant any invasive species (e.g., Scotch broom, reed canarygrass, purple <br /> loosestrife). See the following Oregon Department of Agriculture web site for a <br /> list of problematic non-native species: <br /> http://www.oda.state.or.us/Plant/Weed Control/WeedPolicy2001.pdf <br /> For additional information on suitable native plants for various riparian situations, <br /> you. can contact the following City staff Trevor Taylor (x4880), £ri-~W-vl~} <br /> f~},-Neil Bjorklund (x5507) and Mark Snyder (x4819). <br /> In addition, the City of Eugene has a Native Plant Nursery (housed at the <br /> Wastewater Treatment Plant) that maybe able to help with some aspects of your <br /> project. Lorna Baldwin (x4850) is the coordinator of the Nursery. <br /> 4 Avoid use of revetments along all waterways within the ~nneSalmon <br /> Guidelines Area. <br /> 5 Minimize the amount of impervious surface in the riparian area. Use alternative <br /> methods such as pervious concrete, green roofs, and bioswales to minimize <br /> stonnwater run-off. <br /> 4.3 Filling, isolating, or re-connecting side channels, ponds, and <br /> intermittent waters <br /> I <br /> ..Potential Issues <br /> j <br /> Historically, the Willamette River in the Eugene area was a complex, multi-channeled river. The man <br /> side-channels of the river, plus the mouths of many tributaries that drain into the Willamette and y <br /> i. <br /> McKenzie, were used extensively by salmon during their juvenile rearing stage, for adult salmon durin <br /> high flows, and for spawning. There are far fewer sloughs and side-channels in existence today, due to a <br /> Guidelines for Salmon 4-19-04 <br /> Page 12 <br /> <br />
