New Study Focuses on Local Creeks and Rivers
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Lane County and the cities
of Eugene and Springfield have begun a multi-year study of the
function and health of waterways in the greater metropolitan
area. Two locations have been selected for immediate study:
Amazon Creek in the Eugene area and Cedar Creek/McKenzie
River in the Springfield area.
Study Goals and Needs
Well-managed waterways provide flood protection, fish and
wildlife habitat, clean water, recreation benefits, and safe and
aesthetically pleasing areas for community development.
Certain human activities and some natural processes can
diminish these functions.
The metro waterways study will help by identifying cost-
effective and environmentally sensitive methods for reducing
flood risks and damages, restoring habitats, improving water
quality, and providing high-quality places for public recreation
and community development.
