95 pp. Bookmarks supplied by UO. Includes maps and figures. Published May, 2004. Captured January 17, 2008.There were four major objectives of the West Eugene Wetlands Special Area Study: 1. To use the best information to help the community understand the choices available; 2. To find a balance between environmental protection and sound urban development which meets state and federal laws and regulations; 3. To provide opportunities for involvement of all interested segments of the community in Plan development; and 4. To turn a perceived "wetlands problem" into a "wetlands opportunity" for the community.... this Plan addresses wetlands and economic development as critical parts of a healthy, livable community. While the plan contains more detailed goals, policies, and recommended actions, the thrust of the Plan can be understood by reviewing the following highlights, the Wetland Designations Map (Map 3) and the Wetlands Conceptual Plan Map (Map 4).
