Purpose. These rules implement Sections 6.625 to 6.645 of the Eugene Code, 1971, , <br />which were adopted to restrict the discharge of sediments.or other construction related materials, <br />including hazardous substances, into the City's stormwater system in order to: <br />1.1 Prevent or minimize, .to ,the maximum extent possible, negative impacts to <br />adjacent properties, water quality and related natural resources resulting from construction <br />activities; and <br />1.2 Maintain the capacity of the City's stormwater system by minimizing <br />sedimentation. <br />2. Intent. The intent of these rules, in implementing. sections 6.625 to 6.645 of the>,;` ` <br />Eugene Code, 1971; is to ensure that construction related activities prevent or minimize erosion;` <br />sedimentation; and other stormwater related problems identified in subsection 1 above.: To .carry-out <br />the intent of the these rules, it is the goal of the City' s erosion prevention program to i eview and <br />respond to all erosion permit applications in a timely manner so that these provisions. do not increase <br />the time frame for issuing other permits. These rules are designed to provide developers and <br />property owners with broad discretion for addressing, potential impacts of construction related <br />activities, so long as the erosion prevention measures achieve the desired outcomes. These rules <br />therefore do not specify or mandate the use of certain erosion prevention measures, and instead, <br />provide applicants with flexibility to choose or design erosion prevention measures subject to review <br />by the City. The issuance of an erosion prevention permit by the City will not necessarily. reflect <br />concurrence by the City that the proposed measures will work. Instead, the City's review may be <br />more limited in many cases, relying on the certification of the owners certified professional that the <br />proposed measures will achieve the mandated outcomes. In such cases, the City's review may be <br />.limited to making an evaluation that the_proposed measures address anticipated impacts.
