Funding In 1994, the funding for the stormwater program moved to an impervious surface rate methodology for calculating stormwater user fees.. The majority of funds for preservation and maintenance projects in the CIP will come from stormwater user fees. Major upgrades and capacity enhancements and new capital facilities will be funded primarily by systems development charges and stormwater user fees. Some system expansion will also occur as a result of new development proposals. In FY98, the City established a financially self-supporting Wetlands Mitigation Bank. The City, under an interagency agreement with the Federal Bureau of Land Management, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Oregon Division of State Lands, manages the program to restore, construct and maintain wetlands to replace those wetlands permitted to be developed in accordance with the West Eugene Wetlands Plan. As part of the development process, private developers have the option to purchase replacement wetlands through the Bank. City of Eugene 2008 - 2013 Capital Improvement Program 169
