The study will examine issues related to flood protection and drainage <br /> management, conservation of wildlife and aquatic habitat, water quality, open spaces, and <br /> recreational and educational opportunities. <br /> The eventual goal of the study is to identify and select specific improvement projects <br /> designed to fix problems and improve overall conditions of our waterways. Because the <br /> scope for this type of study is defined by drainage basin boundaries, the study area <br /> includes the greater metropolitan region of Eugene and Springfield. <br /> The study is now underway and Amazon Creek in the Eugene area and Cedar Creek in the <br /> Springfield area have been selected as the initial drainage areas for study. <br /> s <br /> t <br /> F ~ T <br /> <br /> 28 Metro Waterways Study -Citizen Involvement Summary Report -March 2005 <br /> <br />
