ed not to take the EPA to court
lint to do the best job we could
to come to an out of court
agreement." Missai said "In
spring 1‘1‘H) we reached an
agreement of flow to mitigate
for the fill, although we neither
admit nor deny wrong-doing."
Some $250,000 in funding
for the projei t came from the
slate, which Missar said was
interested in making certain
jobs were retained and tfia!
Spectra Physic s did not decide
to simply leave The city of Eu
gene has agreed in principle.
Missar said, to reimburse the
company for $200,000 in ( lists.
"Our argument was that
when we came here, it was a
three-way agreement," Missar
said "No one knew about this
problem when we came, so it's
no one agency's responsibility
to pay the costs,"
Besides controlling flooding,
wetlands store water, minimize
erosion and sedimentation, im
prove water quality, provide
wildlife habitat and recreation
areas, said Tim Bingham, an
analyst at Cine Council of Gov
ernments.
"The gist of the problem is
finding ways to balance the
protection of valuable resources
with tin* needs for certain kinds
of land use." said city planner
Neil Bjorklund
"So much of the land that we
had for industrial development
out there is land we've sunk
public money into," he said
"We've tried as much as possi
ble to provide for development
where the infrastructure is al
ready in place.”
Over a period of years, lljoik
!ulid said. $12 million of public
money has gone to build sew
ers. roads, water lines and oth
er developmental infrastructure
on lands now identified as at
least partial wetlands
IjCOC is preparing a draft
plan to be reviewed by the El’A
in December and by the public
early next year. The proposal,
Bingham said, is to build a wet
lands parkway along the Ama
zon Channel for research and
rei reational purposes The idea
is to develop a "mitigation
bank" of already restored wet
lands for commercial builders
who are required to mitigate to
buy into.
"Eugene is at the threshold
of restoring wetlands, some
thing that hasn't been done
anywhere else," Hjorklund
said We re trying to turn this
issue into a real benefit for the
community, and one they can
be proud of.”
