• Consider the connection of the Millrace and Amazon Creek over time (Emerald Canal). <br /> • Develop a phased approach to replace the concrete channel with a stepped structure that _ <br /> allows trees and seating opportunities. <br /> • A Main Stem Willamette Watershed Council is needed. <br /> • The term "well managed" is used in the survey. How does long-term management happen and <br /> who's responsible. <br /> • Who makes decisions about the final list of projects? <br /> • Update the web site to show project progress. <br /> • Can we get EWEB involved as a partner? <br /> • Will the large culverts flowing into Amazon Creek be considered as part of this project? <br /> • Please put the Maps and PowerPoint from the workshop onto the web site. <br /> • How do we address activities on adjacent properties? <br /> • How was the workshop notification done? <br /> • Will the study look at headwater areas? <br /> • How will the stormwater plan address some of the issues? <br /> • Are there existing stormwater standards for commercial uses (permeability and increased run- <br /> off)? <br /> • What is the design frequency for a storm event that will be used in the modeling (normal is 10- <br /> year)? <br /> • How can we make sure projects aren't negatively impacted by large storm events? <br /> • What are the sources and methodology for the baseline report? Wildlife, hydrology, water <br /> quality, plant communities, and recreation (a combination of new and existing data). <br /> • Can the results from the "Citizen Nature Project" be incorporated into this study? Many <br /> volunteers provided great input. <br /> • What type of water quality data will be collected? Existing city sampling, volunteers from UO, <br /> DEQ data, USGS water quality data and other existing sampling reports should all be looked at. <br /> • Churchill High School has been gathering water quality data on Amazon Creek for 7-years. Can <br /> we incorporate that into the study? <br /> • The Veneta area has significant wetland resources and should be included in upcoming study. <br /> • Will the Willow Creek headwaters be considered? There are significant erosion problems <br /> upstream that are affecting the creek below. <br /> • How will priorities be set? Public input and cost benefit analysis will be done; the project must <br /> meet a federal interest; and must be justified in cost. <br /> • How were priority areas chosen? <br /> • Will fish passage be considered as the Fern Ridge Dam is.repaired? <br /> • Are riparian buffers an option for restoration? <br /> • Can the baseline report outline and report be reviewed by the public? <br /> • How would the West Eugene Parkway impact hydrology if constructed? <br /> • We appreciate the process. Thank you for doing the study. <br /> <br /> Metro Waterways Study -Citizen Involvement Summary Report -March 2005 9 <br /> <br />
