1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Lane Council of Govenunents (LCOG)hired Pacific Habitat Services,Inc.(PHS)to
conduct a Local Wetlands Inventory (LWI)and Riparian Corridor Assessment within the 677
acre Glenwood area of Springfield,located east ofI-5,south and west of the Willamette River
(Township 17 South,Range 3 West,Sections 33 and 34,and Township 18 South,Range 3
West,Sections 02 and 03 Willamette Meridian).The approximate study area is shown on
Figure 1.All figures are in Appendix A.
The goal of the study was to address the wetland and riparian requirements of Statewide
Planning Goal 5 (Natural Resources,Scenic and Historic Areas,and Open Spaces)Oregon
Administrative Rule (OAR)Section 660,Division 23.The objective of Goal 5 is to "protect
natural resources and conserve scenic,historic and open space resources for present and future
generations."
PHS determined the general location,approximate size,and quality/condition of wetlands
throughout the study area.The quality/condition of wetlands was determined by applying the
Oregon Freshwater Wetland Assessment Methodology (OFW AM)where appropriate,and then
determining whether wetlands are locally significant by applying the criteria contained in State
administrative rules (OAR 141-86-300-350).This report presents the results of the wetland
inventory and riparian assessment.
1.1 Report Format
This report begins with definitions used in the report and inventory (Section 2).Section 3
includes a discussion of the methodology used to conduct the field work forthe LWI;the
wetland assessment methodology;and the methodology used to produce the maps for the
inventory.Section 4 is a brief discussion of project cartography.Section 5 describes general
conditions within the study area,addressing climate,topography,soils and vegetation.
Section 6 is a more detailed discussion of wetlands within the study area and addresses wetland
distribution,acreage,and Cowardin classification.Section 7 discusses the results of the Oregon
Freshwater Wetland Assessment Methodology and Section 8 lists Locally Significant Wetlands
in the study area.Section 9 describes options for designating riparian corridors within
Glenwood's UGB.Section 10 presents staff qualifications.Section II provides a list of the
references used in the report.
There are eight appendices to the report.Appendix A contains figures illustrating general
location,soils,the National Wetlands Inventory maps of the study area.It also includes maps
identifying the wetlands and riparian areas within the study area.
Appendix B contains the wetland characterization forms for each wetland,organized by
wetland code.The characterization sheets note wetland location,tax lots,acreage,Cowardin
classification,Hydrogeomorphic (HGM)classification,soil series,wetland and adjacent upland
vegetation,and other unique or clarifYing notes related to the wetland.This form was
completed for each wetland unit of greater than one-half acre in size.If it was an on-site
determination,sample point numbers are noted and included in Appendix C.Locally significant
wetlands are also noted on the characterization form.

Appendix C contains the wetland determination data forms.These forms document wetland
and upland conditions where access was granted.Hydrology,soils,and dominant vegetation
are recorded for each sample point where wetland or upland data was collected.
Appendix D is the Oregon Freshwater Wetland Assessment Methodology (OFWAM)data and
summary for each wetland unit.Each wetland's functions and conditions are assessed
according to an established state methodology.The results and rationale are also summarized
for each wetland unit.
Appendix E contains the determination of significance for each wetland unit.
Appendix F includes OFWAM field forms and watershed summary tables that aided in answering
many of the questions in OFW AM.
Appendix G includes the riparian data forms.
2.0 DEFINITIONS
These terms helped define the methodology used for the Glenwood Local Wetlands Inventory
and may be referred to in this report.
1987 Manual
The primary source documents for wetland delineations within Oregon is the Corps of
Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual,Technical Report Y-87-1 (Environmental
Laboratory 1987)and the Interim Regional Supplement to the Corps ofEngineers
Wetland Delineati on Manual:Western Mountains,Valleys,and Coast Regi on,which
are recognized by both DSL and COE (Regional Supplement;U.S Army Corps,2008).
These manuals are used by the Army Corps of Engineers ("Corps")and the Oregon
Department of State Lands ("DSL")to document the location of wetlands within the State
of Oregon.The 1987 manual,along with regional supplement,provide technical criteria,
field indicators,and recommended procedures to be used in determining whether an area is
a jurisdictional wetland.Undisturbed areas require three criteria for them to be classified as
wetland.These criteria are hydric soils,a dominance of hydrophytic vegetation,and
wetland hydrology.
Cowardin Wetland Classification
The classification of wetlands as defined by plants,soils and the frequency of flooding
is described in "Classification ofwetlands and deepwater habitats ofthe United
States."(Cowardin,et.al.1979)See also "Palustrine Wetlands".
Local Wetlands Inventory and Riparian Corridor Assessment for the GlenwoodArea ofSpringfield

Field verify
To walk over and/orvisually check an area to make a wetland determination and map
wetlands.This mayor may not include on-site access or the collection of sample plot
data.(OAR 141-086)
GoalS
GoalS (OAR 660,Division 23)is intended "to protect natural resources,and conserve
scenic and historic areas and open spaces."(Land Conservation and Development
Commission [LCDC],1996)
Growing Season
The growing season has begun and is ongoing when either of the two following
conditions is met:
I)Two or more non-evergreen vascular plant species growing in the wetland or
surrounding areas exhibit one or more of a specific list of indicators of biological
activity (such as leaf emergence;appearance of new growth;emergence or opening
of flowers;etc.)
2)When soil temperature measured at a depth of 12 inches is 41°F (5°C)or higher
Hydric Soils
"Soils which are ponded,flooded,or saturated for long enough during the growing
season to develop anaerobic conditions."(USDA,SCS,1985)
Periodic saturation of soils causes alternation of reduced and oxidized conditions which
leads to the formation of redoximorphic features (gleying and mottling).Mineral hydric
soils will be either gleyed or will have bright mottles and/or low matrix chroma.The
redoximorphic feature known as gley is a result of greatly reduced soil conditions,
which result in a characteristic grayish,bluish or greenish soil color.The term mottling
is used to describe areas of contrasting color within a soil matrix.The soil matrix is the
portion of the soil layer that has the predominant color.Soils that have brightly colored
mottles and a low matrix chroma are indicative of a fluctuating water table.
Hydric soil indicators include:organic content of greater than 50%by volume,sulfidic
material or "rotten egg"smell,and/or presence of redoximorphic features and dark soil
matrix,as determined by the use of a Munsell Soil Color Chart.This chart establishes
the chroma,value and hue of soils based on comparison with color chips.Mineral
hydric soils usually have a matrix chroma of 2 or less in mottled soils,or a matrix
chroma of I or less in unmottled soils.
Hydrogeomorphic (HGM)Wetland Classification
A method of assessing wetlands using the physical,chemical,and biological functions
of wetlands.It is based on the relationship of geomorphic setting,water source,and
hydrodynamics.(Brinson,1993)
Local Wetlands Inventory and Riparian Corridor Assessment for the GlenwoodArea ofSpringfield
Pacific Habitat Services,Inc.
Page 3
Hydrophytic Vegetation
"Plant life growing in water or on a substrate that is at least periodically deficient in
oxygen as a result of excessive water content."(National Resource Council,1995)
The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service,in the National List ofPlant Species that Occur in
Wetlands,has established five basic groups of vegetation based on their frequency of
occurrence in wetlands.These categories,referred to as the "wetland indicator status,"
are as follows:obligate wetland plants (OBL),facultative wetland (FACW),facultative
(FAC),facultative upland (FACU),and obligate upland (UPL).
Local Wetlands Inventory (LWI)
An inventory of all wetlands greater than 0.5 acres in size within a local jurisdiction
using the standards and procedures of OAR 141-86-110 through 141-86-240.
In 1989,the Oregon State legislature authorized DSL to develop a statewide wetlands
inventory for planning and regulatory purposes.Accordingly,DSL established Local
Wetlands Inventory (LWI)standards and guidelines under ORS 196.674.An approved
LWI replaces the National Wetlands Inventory maps and is incorporated into the
statewide wetlands inventory.
An LWI is conducted using color or color infrared aerial photographs taken within 5
years of the inventory initiation and at a minimum scale of 1 inch ~400 feet (l"~400').
Wetlands are located using the on-site option where access to property is allowed or off-
site where access is denied.Wetlands can be mapped off-site by using information such
as topographic and National Wetlands Inventory maps,aerial photographs,and soils
surveys.
The approximate location of wetlands is placed on a parcel-based map.The parcel-
based map allows the property owner,the local jurisdiction,and DSL,to know which
tax lots may contain wetlands.
The maps and documents produced for the LWI are intended for planning purposes
only.Mapped wetland boundaries are accurate to within 25 feet;however,there may be
unmapped wetlands that are subject to regulation.In all cases,actual field conditions
determine wetland boundaries.
Palustrine Wetlands (e.g.PEM)
"All nontidal wetlands dominated by trees,shrubs,persistent emergents,emergent
mosses or lichens and all such wetlands that occur in tidal areas where salinity is less
than 0.5%.This includes areas traditionally called swamps,marshes,fens,as well as
shallow,permanent or intermittent water bodies called ponds."(Cowardin et.al.1979)
•Palustrine Unconsolidated Bottom (PUB)
A wetland or deepwater habitat with at least 25%cover of particles smaller than stones,
and a vegetative cover less than 30%.
Local Wetlands Inventory and Riparian Corridor Assessment for the GlenwoodArea ofSpringfield
Pacific Habitat Services,Inc.
Page 4
•Palustrine Emergent Wetland (PEM)
These wetlands have rooted herbaceous vegetation that stand erect above the water or
ground surface.
•Palustrine Scrub-shrub Wetland (PSS)
Wetlands dominated by shrubs and tree saplings that are less than 20 feet high.
•Palustrine Forested Wetland (PFO)
Wetlands dominated by trees that are greater than 20 feet high.
Probable Wetland (PW)
An area noted during the course of L WI field work that appears to meet,or does meet,
wetland criteria but is less than one half acre in size;or is small and of undetermined
size,and is mapped as a point rather than a polygon on the LWI maps
Riparian Area
A "riparian area"is defined as the area adjacent to a river,lake,or stream,consisting of
the area of transition from an aquatic ecosystem to a terrestrial ecosystem.A "riparian
corridor"is a Goal 5 resource that includes the water areas,fish habitat,adjacent
riparian areas,and wetlands within the riparian boundary.
Riverine System
"The riverine system includes all wetlands and deepwater habitats contained within a
channel."(Cowardin,et.al.1979)
Waters of the State
Natural waterwaysincluding all tidal and nontidal bays,intermittent streams,constantly
flowing streams,lakes,wetlands and other bodies of water in this state,navigable and
nonnavigable.Natural waterways are defined as:waterways created naturally by
geological and hydrological processes,and waterways that would be natural but for
human-caused disturbances (e.g.channelized or culverted streams,impounded waters,
partially drained wetlands or ponds created in wetlands).(ORS 196.800-196.990,1995)
Water Resource
"An intermittent or perennial stream,pond,river,lake including their adjacent
wetlands."(PHS,1998)
Wetland
"Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency
and durationsufficient to support,and that under normal circumstances do support,a
prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions.Wetlands
generally include swamps,marshes,bogs,and similar areas."(Federal Register 1982).

Wetland Assessment
Detennining the relative quality of a wetland by assessing its functions and conditions.
The methodology generally used to detennine the relative quality of wetlands for
purposes of an LWI is the Oregon Freshwater Wetland Assessment Methodology.
(Roth,et.al.1996)
Wetland Function
"A characteristic action or behavior associated with a wetland that contributes to a
larger ecological condition such as wildlife habitat,water quality and/or flood control."
(Roth,et.al.1996)
Wetland Hydrology
"Pennanent or periodic inundation or prolonged soil saturation sufficient to create
anaerobic conditions in the upper soil profile."(CaE,1987)
Wetland hydrology is related to duration of saturation,frequency of saturation,and
critical depth of saturation.The Regional Supplement defines wetland hydrology as 14
or more consecutive days of flooding or ponding,or a water table 12 inches or less
below the soil surface,during the growing season at a minimum frequency of 5 years in
10.
Wetland Mosaic
A complex of several wetlands that are interspersed between areas of non-wetland each
less than one half acre in size,making them difficult to map.
Wetlands Regulation
Wetlands inOregon are regulated by the Department of State Lands (DSL)under the
Removal-Fill Law (ORS 196.800-196.990)and by the u.S.Anny Corps of Engineers
(Corps)through Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
3.0 PROJECT METHODOLOGY
3.1 Public Involvement
Prior to beginning the inventory field work,selected landowners (i.e.those suspected of having
wetlands or stream on their property)were mailed notices describing the project and asking
pennission to enter their property.Right of access was granted to PHS by landowner
permission only.The properties of those not responding were not accessed.Access information
was collected in a database and then transferred to a base map for use in the field.
The City of Springfield held one open house on July 8,2009,for citizens to discuss the
inventory.

3.2 Local Wetlands Inventory Methodology
3.2.1 Routine Off-site Detennination
Prior to beginning field work,off-site mapping was conducted to determine the approximate
location of wetland boundaries based on available information.This information included the
USGS Eugene East topographic quadrangles (USGS,1986),Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS)Soil Survey for Lane County (SCS,1981),the National Wetlands Inventory
maps (USFWS,July 1994),and true color aerial photographs (l"~400').If access was allowed,
the wetland boundaries were verified in the field (see Section 3.2.2).If access was not granted,
the boundaries were based on the mapping conducted in the office (non-field verified),or on
the observation of wetland boundaries from adjacent roads,right-of-ways,or properties,if
possible (field verified).Some of the larger wetlands were only partially field verified,denoting
access to a portion,but not all,of the wetland.
3.2.2 Routine On-site Detennination
Where property access permission was granted,on-site observation and inspection of soils,
vegetation,and hydrology were made using the required methodology outlined in the Regional
Supplement.Soil pits were excavated up to a depth of approximately 20-inches in selected
locations.The soil profiles were examined for hydric soils and wetland hydrology field
indicators.
A visual percent-cover estimate of the dominant species of the plant community for a maximum
30-foot radius was conducted at each sampling location.Sampling locations were chosen to
document a change in the wetland boundary and a particular plant community.Data was
recorded in the field and transferred to computer-generated wetland delineation data sheets
(Appendix C).
Field work for the inventory was conducted between July and October 2009.No wetland
boundaries were staked or flagged in the field as part of this LWI.
3.3 Wetland Quality Assessment
3.3.1 The Oregon Freshwater Wetland Assessment Methodology
The quality of wetlands in the study area was assessed using the Oregon Freshwater Wetland
Assessment Methodology (OFWAM)(Roth et al.1996).OFWAM was developed by an
interagency committee to assess the relative quality of wetlands primarily for planning and
educational purposes.OFWAM does not assign a numeric ranking to the wetlands,but does
determine the relative quality of six functions for each of the wetlands.A description of each of
the functions to be assessed by DSL is included below.The three conditions;Sensitivity to
Impact,Enhancement Potential,and Aesthetic Quality,are part of the OFWAM but are not
required as part of the inventory process for DSL.Though these conditions are not discussed in
this report,results can be found in the OFW AM appendices.

Page 7
Wetland Functions
Wildlife habitat:Evaluates the habitat diversity for species usually associated with wetlands,
without emphasizing one particular species.Wetlands assessed by OFWAM can provide
diverse habitat for wildlife,habitat for some wildlife species,or does not provide habitat.
Fish habitat:Evaluates how a wetland contributes to fish habitat in streams,ponds or lakes
associated with a wetland.The questions are suitable for both warmwater and coldwater fish,
and no particular species is emphasized.Wetlands assessed by OFWAM can have fish habitat
function intact,impacted or degraded,or lost or not present.Only wetlands with water bodies
with the potential for fish habitat were assessed for this function;ponds used solely for
irrigation purposes were not assessed for fish habitat.
Water Quality:Evaluates the potential of a wetland to reduce the impacts of excess nutrients in
storm water runoff on downstream waters.A wetland's water quality function can be assessed
by OFW AM as intact,impacted or degraded,or lost or not present.
Hydrologic control:Evaluates the effectiveness of a wetland to reduce downstream flood peaks
and store floodwaters.A wetland's hydrologic control functions can be assessed by OFWAM
as intact,impacted or degraded,or lost or not present.
Education:Evaluates the suitability of a wetland to provide educational opportunity and act as
an "outdoor classroom."A wetland assessed by OFWAM can have educational uses,have the
potential to provide,or not be appropriate for educational uses.
Recreation:Evaluates the suitability of a wetland and associated watercourses for non-powered
boating,fishing,and similar recreational activities.A wetland assessed by OFWAM can
provide,have the potential to provide,or not provide recreational opportunities
3.3.2 Wetlands of Special Interest for Protection
The first filter in OFWAM is to determine whether the wetland is in a management plan,is
protected by regulatory rules or statutes,or is uncommon in Oregon.Ten questions are
answered for each wetland and a "yes"answer to any of the questions puts the wetland into the
"special interest for protection"category.lfthe wetland falls into this category,it is noted on
the wetland characterization sheet.
3.3.3 Field Methodology
During the process of determining the boundaries for the L WI,data were also collected for the
process of determining its relative quality.Data collected for this purpose are explained in the
Wetland Characterization section ofOFWAM.Data collected in the field included the
Cowardin classes,the types of disturbance (if any)in the wetland area,thehydrology of the
wetland area (e.g.the location of constrictions),the presence offish,large woody debris,the
degree of vegetative cover,and other information necessary to complete the assessment of the
wetland in the office.
Local Wetlands Inventory and Riparian Corridor Assessment for the GlenwoodArea ofSpringfield
Pacific Habitat Services,Inc.
Page 8
If the wetland detennination was off-site,the OFWAM section and wetland characterization
was based on review of the aerial photographs and knowledge of other similar or adjacent
wetlands.
3.3.4 Office Assessment
Subsequent to the field work,the data collected for each wetland were used to answer questions
for each function and condition.Additional infonnation on the wetlands,the landscape and the
general area were gathered in the office.The answers within each function and condition
section of the methodology were entered into a computer spreadsheet,which automatically
displays the results of the assessment methodology.
4.0 CARTOGRAPHY
Color aerial photographs were obtained for use in the field.These photos dated March 2008 are
true color,with a scale of approximately 1 inch ~400 feet.Preliminary wetland boundaries and
data point locations were drawn directly onto field maps at the time of assessment.A second
map of the study area containing tax lots within the project area where permission to enter was
granted or denied was also used.The wetland boundaries were transferred into a digital fonnat
and inserted into a computer-based map derived from the County's GIS base.
Additional layers added to the GIS base map included streams and stream names,wetland
codes,and sample point locations.
Each wetland was assigned a code beginning with the three letter hydrologic basin designation
followed by a unique number between 1 and 7 (the total number of wetland polygons mapped
in the inventory.Wetland sub-units that were hydrologically connected and/or in close
proximity were assessed as a single wetland unit if they were similar in character.Small
potential wetlands that could not be accurately assessed,or known wetlands of less than one-
half acre in size,are labeled on the maps with a designation of"PW"("probable wetland").No
data was collected for the PWs.The final digital maps include the location of all streams and
wetlands (those assessed with OFWAM and PW's).They also include the location of sample
points,legend,north arrow,scale,and a DSL required disclaimer.
5.0 STUDY AREA CHARACTERISTICS AND EXISTING INVENTORY
INFORMATION
5.1 Topography
Regional topography in the Glenwood area slopes to the north and east towards the Willamette
River and south towards Interstate 5.The topography ranges from 420 to 440 feet National
Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD)along the Willamette River,up to 500 and 600 feet in the
forested hills east of 1-5 in the southern portion of the study area.

5.2 Hydrology
5.2.1 Hydrologic Features of the Glenwood Study Area
Major hydrologic features of the project area include the Willamette River and the Glenwood
Slough.The Willarnette River defines the eastern and northern limits of the study area;
however,the riparian area along the west and south side of the river within the study area was
evaluated.
The Willamette River is ODFW-designated essential salmonid habitat.The river flows in a
northerly direction.The riparian corridor along the Willamette River is relatively narrow
throughout the Glenwood area.The riparian area is either developed close to the edge of the
river,includes a narrow fringe of forested area,or is mowed grasses and forbs.
The Glenwood Slough is located within the west-central portion of the study area.It meanders
through the study area as it flows west,converging with the Willamette River just north and
west of the inventory boundary.Glenwood Slough is not ODFW-designated essential salmonid
habitat.The slough has been altered over the decades due to development and several culverts
connect this system together.
5.2.2 Hydrologic Basin Designation
As mapped watershed boundaries are not available at the scale necessary for the LWI,the study
area was subdivided into two hydrologic basins:Glenwood Slough (GS)and the Willamette
River (WR).The determination of boundaries forthe two hydrologic basins was based in large
part upon topographic maps,field observations,and aerial photographs.The basins and their
sizes are listed in Table 1.

5.4 Vegetation
5.4.1 Vegetation Overview
Many portions of the Glenwood area have been developed.Existing land use includes
residential,industrial,and commercial.The undeveloped areas include some relatively native
forested areas south of Newman Street and north ofl-5,and west of Franklin Boulevard.
The forested areas are typically dominated by black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa),big leaf
maple (Acer macrophyllum),Oregon ash (Fraxinus latifolia),and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga
menziesii).
Local Wetlands Inventory and Riparian Corridor Assessment for the GlenwoodArea ofSpringfield
Pacific Habitat Services,Inc.
Page 11
5.4.2 Local Vegetation Connnunities
Generalized plant communities encountered within the Glenwood area include upland mixed
coniferous/deciduous forest;developed-urban;wetland;and riparian.Each of these
communities is described below.Wetland communities are further distinguished as freshwater
(palustrine emergent,palustrine scrub-shrub,palustrine forested,and unconsolidated bottom)
following the Cowardin classification system developed for the US Fish and Wildlife Service
(Cowardin,et.aI.,1979).
Upland Mixed Coniferous-Deciduous Forest
The conifer species include Douglas fir and western red cedar (Thuja plicata).These species
may be codominant with deciduous hardwoods such as red alder (Alnus rubra),bigleaf maple,
and Oregon ash.The understory is comprised of Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor),
Pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii),white alder (Alnus rhombifolia),red elderberry
(Sambucus racemosa),tall Oregon grape (Mahonia aquifolium),vine maple (Acer circinatum),
salal (Gaultheria shallon),cascara (Rhamnus purshiana),and sword fern (Polystichum
munitum).
Developed-Urban
In general,plant communities in the Glenwood study area have been influenced by human
activities for much of the last century.Land use within the study area includes single-family
residential homes,industrial,and commercial.
Residences,parking areas,and roadways all represent unvegetated or landscaped areas.
Vegetation is often of horticultural origin or weedy in these areas.The fringes of these
developed areas may have been subject to disturbance as well as they often regenerate as
Himalayan blackberry thickets.
Wetlands
Wetland areas are generally transitional between upland or riparian areas and truly aquatic sites
with permanently open water.Open water mayor may not be present,in which case the
wetland can occupy a position where the groundwater table comes close to the surface for an
extended period at some time during the growing season.
Palustrine forested wetlands (PFO)in the area are dominated primarily by an overstory of black
cottonwood and Oregon ash.Palustrine scrub/shrub (PSS)wetlands typically include several
species of willows (Salix spp.),black cottonwood,red osier dogwood (Comus stolonifera),
nootka rose (Rosa nutkana),clustered rose (Rosa pisocarpa),and Douglas spirea (Spiraea
douglasii).Palustrine emergent wetlands (PEM)are dominated by herbaceous species such as
soft rush (Juncus ejfusus),slough sedge (Carex obnupta),tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea),
water parsley (Oenanthe sarmentosa),reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea),meadow
foxtail (Alopecurus pratensis),and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens).

Riparian
Riparian forests are similar to the upland mixed coniferous/deciduous forest,though species
preferring wetter sites may be more common.Black cottonwood and Oregon ash dominate in
the wetter areas,with Douglas fir,western red cedar,and bigleaf maple more common in the
drierriparian zones.
5.4.3 Wetland and Upland Indicator Species
Species lists of commonly encountered plants,along with their status as indicators of wetland
conditions,have been prepared for all regions of the country by the USFWS (1988).The status
of a particular plant,as identified on Table 3,is the probability of that plant occurring in a
wetland.

If a species is not assigned to one of the four groups described above it is assumed
to be obligate upland.
Has not yet received a wetland indicator status,but is probably not obligate
upland.
Many plants are found in transitional areas between wetlands and uplands.These areas are
usually characterized by flat to gradually sloping terrain where the species composition may not
reflect true wetland boundaries.In such areas,a species with a status of F ACU may extend into
the wetland areas,just as F ACW species may also bepresent in upland areas.
6.0 LWI DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS
6.1 U.S.Fish &Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory
The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service,as part of the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI)program,
have mapped wetland in the study area (Figure 3).The NWI maps are generated primarily on
the basis of interpretation of relatively small-scale color infrared aerial photographs (e.g.,scale
of I :58,000)with limited "ground truthing"conducted to confirm the interpretations.
In general,wetlands as shown on the NWI are represented by wetlands mapped in the
inventory.There are however,some differences between the mapped size and shape;in most
cases the NWI shows the major stream systems and some smaller wetlands located along
sections of rivers and streams within the study area.

Pacific Habitat Services,Inc.
Page 13
The NWI map only identified the Willamette River and the Glenwood Slough (GS-3).The
remaining wetlands identified during the inventory were not identified on the NWI.Though
development since the time ofNWI mapping has no doubt contributed to differences between
NWI designated wetlands and those identified for the L WI,the primary reason for differences
can be attributed to the opportunity for ground truthing provided by the L WI.
6.2 Local Wetlands Inventory Results
6.2.1 Wetland Acreage and Distribution
A total of seven wetland resource areas were identified during the LWI,with a total area of
approximately 13.27 acres.Some are small,isolated features,while others are larger and
composed of several hydrologically connected,yet separate polygons.There was a wetland
fringe along portions of the Willamette River;however,it was not mapped because it was
discontinuous and typically located below the ordinary high water line of the river.
The project area was divided into two hydrologic basins,which includes the Glenwood Slough
and the Willamette River.The hydrologic basins are identified on Sheet 2 in Appendix A.
Typically,wetlands less than 0.50 acre in size are identified as probable wetlands.However,
GS-I (0.47 acre)was previously delineated and was greater than 0.50 acre.Some portions,
however,were filled as a result of an 1-5 bridge and trail project.GS-I is considered a "Locally
Significant Wetland"because it is hydrologically connected to the Willamette River,a water
quality limited resource.Therefore,GS-I was included in the inventory as a wetland and an
OFWAM was completed for this system.GS-I was not combined with GS-2 or GS-3 because it
is functionally different than these systems.
Table 4 summarizes wetland acreage by hydrologic basin.It should be noted that only a small
portion of each basin is located within the limits of the inventory boundary.Table 4 is useful in
identifying where wetlands are concentrated within the study area.

7.0 Oregon Freshwater Wetland Assessment Methodology Results
7.1 Wetland Quality Assessment
An assessment of the quality for each of the GoalS wetlands identified through the inventory
was conducted using the Oregon Freshwater Assessment Methodology (OFWAM)(Roth et ai,
April 1996).OFWAM assesses 6 functions and 2 conditions,as described in Section 3.3.1.
Appendix D contains OFW AM data and results for the seven wetlands assessed by the
methodology.As wetlands of less than one-half acre in size can be designated as a probable
wetland (PW),only those wetlands greater than one-half acre in size were assessed using
OFWAM.
Although OFWAM provides qualitative information on the relative value of wetlands and does
not have a numerical ranking,numbers were assigned to the assessment criteria to easily
compare the results.A number 1 was assigned to wetlands receiving the highest function or
condition result (e.g.intact,diverse),a number 3 was assigned to the wetlands receiving the
lowest result (lost or not present,not appropriate),and a number 2 was assigned to the results
which do not fit the other criteria (potential,impacted or degraded).This system is summarized
in Table 7.

Table 8 shows the results of the quality assessment conducted on each wetland greater than
one-half acre in size.Some functions or conditions were not applicable to certain wetlands.For
instance,wetlands GS-4,GS-5,GS-6 and WR-7 were not evaluated for fish habitat,because it
is not present in these systems.Wetlands that may qualify as a Locally Significant Wetland due
to education or recreation use must also be evaluated for those social functions (values).These
conditions only apply if the site is publicly owned and use by a school or organization is
documented.None of the wetland meet these criteria.

All of the assessed wetlands provided some wildlife habitat.None of the wetlands have intact
fish habitat;though three of them have impacted or degraded fish habitat (due to lack of shade,
instream structures,or channel modifications),while four of them were not assessed for habitat.
Local Wetlands Inventory and Riparian Corridor Assessment for the GlenwoodArea ofSpringfield
Pacific Habitat Services,Inc.
Page 16
The water quality function for all wetlands is impacted or degraded.There are no wetlands with
intact water quality function due in part to the natural,groundwater sources of hydrology within
assessedwetlands,and the fact that there are no upstream or adjacent water quality limited
waterbodies.Groundwater (or precipitation)fed wetlands typically do not require water quality
enhancement.
Hydrologic control was assessed as impacted or degraded for all wetlands except,GS-5,which
is lost or not present.Conditions that affect this function include the lack of natural floodplain,
unrestricted outflow,or downstreamopen space.Though these features may be natural and or
desirable,they decrease the ability of a wetland to perform this function.
7.2 Wetlands of Special Interest for Protection
Each wetland was assessed according to the ten questions in this section of OFWAM.These
questions are regarding the presence of Federal or State listed threatened,endangered or
sensitive species,existing management plans,conservation plans,protected mitigation areas,
critical habitat,wetland reserve areas and the presence of uncommon wetland plant
communities in Oregon.This can determine if the wetland is protected by regulatory rules or
statutes,or is uncommon in Oregon.
A review of the Oregon Natural Heritage Program data base by the Lane Council of
Governments identified the following species may occur in the study area:1)Chinook salmon
(Federal:ListedThreatened)&its critical habitat -the Willamette River;2)Painted Turtle
(State:sensitive/critical);3)Tall bugbane (State:critical);4)Cusick's mallow (Heritage:not
rare,apparently secure).Other than the presence of listed fish species in the Willamette River,
there was no evidence of the painted turtle,tall bugbane,or Cusick's mallow found in the
inventoried wetlands.
Since the ten questions were answered "no"for all of the wetlands identified in the inventory;
there are no wetlands of special interest for protection in the City of Glenwood.
8.0 SIGNIFICANT WETLANDS DETERMINATION
8.1 GoalS Locally Significant Wetlands Criteria
On September 1,1996,the LCDC adopted a revised Statewide Planning Goal 5.The goal
requires local jurisdictions to inventory the natural resources covered under the goal,determine
the significance of these resources,and develop plans to achieve the goal.In other words,local
jurisdictions must adopt land use ordinances regulating development in and around significant
areas.
Local jurisdictions determining significant wetlands must use the criteria adopted by the
Oregon Department of State Lands (ORS 197.279(3)(b )).These criteria identify Locally
Significant Wetlands.The significance criteria are divided into three sections,as shown in
Table 9.

has a intact,or impacted or degraded water quality function or
has a intact,or impacted or degraded hydrologic control function.
2 Is the wetland publicly owned and used by a school or organization and

-
The committee that created the Goal 5 significance criteria determined that even relatively
small wetlands might provide an important (or major)function in their particular landscape
position.For example,a small wetland in an urban area may provide habitat for a rare,
threatened,or endangered species.However,as stated above,only wetlands greater than one-
half acre were assessed in OFW AM.

8.2 Applying Significant Wetland Criteria to the LWI Study Area
8.2.1 GoalS Significant Wetlands
The Locally Significant Wetlands criteria were applied to all wetlands.Based on the criteria,6
of the 7 wetlands (86%)were detennined to be locally significant.These wetlands met the
criteria for significance because they meet one or more of the mandatory criteria such as
containing fish habitat and having a direct hydrologic connection to the Willamette River.
Although it is relatively valuable for some functions,Wetland GS-6 did not satisfy the
significant wetlands criteria because it does not contain fish habitat or have a direct connection
to the river.The specific criteria of significance associated with each of these six wetlands can
be found in Appendix E.
9.0 RIPARIAN CORRIDORS
A "riparian area"is defined as the area adjacent to a river,lake,or stream,consisting of the area
of transition from an aquatic ecosystem to a terrestrial ecosystem.A "riparian corridor"is a
GoalS resource that includes the water areas,fish habitat,adjacent riparian areas,and wetlands
within the riparian boundary.
Glenwood has several perennial and intennittent streams,as well as the Willamette River that
flows around the north and eastern portions of Glenwood.Each riparian reach has a right (R)
and left (L)side,looking downstream.Ifthe riparian infonnation is different for the left and
right sides,there are two forms,respectively.All the riparian data fonns can be found in
Appendix G.
The GoalS Administrative Rules require local governments to inventory and detennine
significant riparian corridors by following either the safe harbor process or the standard
methodology.In the safe harbor approach,only fish-bearing water bodies must be inventoried
whereas in the standard process,all water areas may be included and assessed for significance.
Using the safe harbor method,PHS applied the required GoalS setbacks of 50 feet for
waterbodies less than 1,000 cubic feet per second (cfs)and 75 feet for waterbodies greater than
1,000 cfs to all fish bearing streams.The setbacks are required to be applied to the top of bank
of the waterway resource or,when the riparian corridor includes all or portions of a significant
wetland,the setback is to be applied to the upland edge of the wetland.However,since top of
bank has not been surveyed for any of the streams or the Willamette River,the setback was
applied to and measured from the City of Springfield's digitized stonn drainage lines
representing the approximate location of the resource.
As a standard method,PHS included all perennial streams in the riparian inventory within
Glenwood using a methodology called the Urban Riparian Inventory and Assessment Guide
(URIAG)(DSL 1998).This riparian assessment methodology was developed by PHS for DSL.
A description of the methodology and the results of applying this methodology are included in
the sections below.
Local Wetlands Inventory and Riparian Corridor Assessment for the GlenwoodArea ofSpringfield
Pacific Habitat Services,Inc.
Page 19
The results of the methods are summarized below:
•Safe Harbor
•URIAG
Seventy-five (75)feet setback from the Willamette River and 50 feet
from all other fish bearing waterbodies
Setback determined by the dominant tree species within the existing
riparian area.One hundred and twenty (120)feet maximum setback
for black cottonwood and Douglas fir,75 feet for Oregon ash,and 20
feet for Sitka willow
9.1 Fish-Bearing Streams,Rivers and Lakes
GoalS also requires that fish habitat be included in the inventory.The definition of fish bearing
includes waterbodies with both native and introduced species.As such,the determination of
riparian corridors under GoalS was based on all fish-bearing waterbodies within Glenwood.
Information on fish presence came from http://www.streamnet.org/which is a database ofthe
latest sampling conducted by the ODFW and other data sources.
A conversation on October 20,2009,with Jeff Ziller in the Springfield office of ODFW,
identified the Glenwood Slough likely had some fish species such as carp and mosquito fish
since it is a perennial feature.An unnamed tributary to the Willamette River,located southwest
of the project area,west of Augusta Street,flows under the 1-5 bridge where it converges with
R-GS-2.This unnamed tributary has been sampled for fish and identified the presence of
cutthroat trout.Mr.Ziller said it was likely that these fish could enter any of the other
hydrologically connected perennial stream systems such as R-GS-I and the Glenwood Slough.
According to maps provided by the City,it appears the unnamed tributary is culverted under the
1-5 bridge where it converges with an existing culverted section ofR-GS-2.
The Willamette River and Glenwood Slough are the water features assessed for riparian
protection under GoalS.Some headwater drainages to Glenwood Slough were not included as
there are several long culverts separating short sections of remaining stream habitat.The
following summarizes the fish species sampled or known to occur in the Willamette River;
therefore,potentially occurring in other stream systems within the UGB.

9.2 Safe Harbor Method
GoalS contains a "safe harbor"option for local jurisdictions allowing them to replace portions
of the standard GoalS process with processes set forth in the rules for each of the listed GoalS
resources.The safe harbor process for riparian corridors allows jurisdictions to impose a 50-
foot setback from all fish-bearing lakes and streams and a 75-foot setback from all streams with
average annual stream flow greater than 1,000 cubic feet per second (cfs)[OAR 660-023-
0090(5)].
In the Glenwood area,only the Willarnette River was determined to have an average annual
flow of greater than 1,000 cfs.As such,this riparian area is 75 feet and all of the remaining
fish-bearing streams are 50 feet.
9.3 Standard Method -Urban Riparian Inventory and Assessment Guide
9.3.1 Methodology
The Urban Riparian Inventory and Assessment Guide (URIAG)was one method used to
determine the riparian width on all fish-bearing streams and waterways.With URIAG,riparian
corridors are broken into "reaches"with similar characteristics,such as vegetation patterns or
land use.It relies on a combination of available knowledge,field observations,and best
professional judgment.
The methodology is comprised of a riparian inventory and a riparian assessment.The riparian
inventory involves gathering and assimilating information pertinent to the project site,
developing a base map,and completing the riparian characterization form.
The riparian characterization form includes a determination of the riparian width.The riparian
width is measured from the edge of the water resource,typically either the top of a streambank
or the outer edge of a wetland,lake,or pond.Riparian areas on both sides of a stream channel
are assigned separate widths.The potential width of the riparian area is based on the dominant
riparian tree species within 100 feet of the water resource.The height of the dominant tree
species at maturity is used as a distance to define the outer riparian boundary.The height of the
tree species at maturity is called the site potential tree height (SPTH).
SPTH is used as the potential riparian width because it represents a distance in which a tree can
still affect the water resource (e.g.provide shade,provide organic material).Where riparian area
trees have been eliminated by land-use activities,such as development,farming,or by natural
causes,such as land slides,it may be necessary to extrapolate tree heights from a reference site.
Although the riparian widths never exceed the PTH,they can be less than the PTH if impervious
surfaces or permanent structures (e.g.buildings or roads)are inventoried within the SPTH.
As with the LWI,a part of the riparian inventory process is determining the quality of the
riparian area.In URIAG this is accomplished by reviewing functions including water quality,
flood management,thermal regulation,and wildlife habitat.The riparian assessment was
completed by answering a series of questions for each function.Because certain elements or
characteristics of a riparian area are more critical to its function,the answers are "weighted".
Local Wetlands Inventory and Riparian Corridor Assessment for the GlenwoodArea ofSpringfield
Pacific Habitat Services,Inc.
Page 21
The points are then totaled for each reach and for each function.The results indicate whether
the functional integrity of each riparian area is high,medium,or low.Fifteen riparian reaches
were assessed.
9.3.2 Ftesults
Goal 5 does not establish specific criteria for determining significant riparian areas.Instead,
local jurisdictions establish their own criteria based on the quantity and quality of the resource.
Using URIAG,six tree species were determined to be the dominant native trees within riparian
areas of the UGB.The majority of riparian vegetation was dominated by Oregon ash,with
black cottonwood predominantly along the Willarnette River and black cottonwood,Douglas
fir,and Sitka willow being equally dominant in sections along Glenwood Slough.The trees
have the following potential tree heights.
Table 11.Potential tree heights of the four tree species determining riparian widths in the
Glenwood Area UGB.
Common Name Botanical Name Potential Tree Height!
RiDarian Corridor Widths (feet)
Oregon ash Fraxinus latifolia 75
Black cottonwood Povulus trichocarva 120
Douglas fir Pseudotsuza menziesii 120
Big leaf maple Acer macrophyllum 90
Pacific Willow Salix lasiandra 35
Sitka Willow Salix sitchensis 20
The quality of the riparian corridors using URIAG indicate that most (60%)of inventoried
riparian areas rate "high"for water quality functioning,because they filter the runoff from
nearby land.In the flood management category,three (15%)of the riparian areas rated "high,"
nine (45%)rated "medium"and eight (40%)rated low.All but one of the riparian areas are rated
"high"for thermal regulation due to good vegetation cover.High quality wildlife is characterized
by multi-layered vegetation near the streams,and only four (20%)of Glenwood's riparian areas
are vegetated to this extent.The remaining sixteen (80%)rated moderate for wildlife providing
multi-layered vegetation;however,their proximity to development precluded them from rating
"high".Table 12 summarizes the results of the riparian functional assessment.A copy of the
riparian datasheets can be found in Appendix G.

9.4 Conclusions
H ~High M~Medium L~Low
PHS used two methods to determine riparian widths.Table 13 includes the range of widths
available to Glenwood for GoalS protection.
Table 13.The ranges of widths available from the two methods applied to all fish
bearing waterbodies in Glenwood
Method Range of riparian corridor widths
Safe Harbor 75 feet (Willamette River)-50 feet (all other fish

(URIAG)Douglas fir)
Based on our review of potential riparian widths within Glenwood's more urbanized center,the
majority of the riparian areas are already developed:houses,industrial development,and
impervious surfaces encompass much of the riparian corridors.It is likely that designating up to
120-foot wide riparian corridors (i.e.using the URIAG widths)within already developed areas
will not result in additional riparian protection.The riparian areas were mapped using GIS;
however,a more accurate method of identifying the actual limits of the riparian areas is by
delineating the ordinary high water mark of each water body.Delineating ordinary high water
is a method required by DSL and the Corps of Engineers whenever a delineation report is
submitted by a property owner or developer seeking a jurisdictional determination from each
agency.

GS-I was delineated in 2003 (WD2003-0273)as part of the ODOT's 1-5 bridge project and Willamette River
trail.The west portion was impacted by construction of the 1-5 temporary detour bridge.GS-I is bounded to the
south by railroad tracks.Glenwood Slough flows through the wetland as do several ditches used to convey
stormwater.The wetland is less than one-half acre;however,it was not identified as a PW because it is a
significant wetland,hydrologically connected to the Willamette River,GS-2 and GS-3,and has received DSL
wetland concurrence.

GS-3 is an open water slough system surrounded by a narrow PSS fringe.This system is known as the Glenwood
Slough and it flows west into GS-I prior to being culverted and flowing into the Willamette River.GS-3 is
bissected by Glenwood Blvd,but is still hydrologically connected by a culvert.The slough is a topographic bowl.
Hydrologic sources include stormwater from adjacent impervious surfaces,in addition to groundwater and
upslope surface water.A portion ofGS-3 was previously delineated (WD96-0375).

GS-6 is a mosiac of 50%wetland and 50%upland located on undeveloped land north ofI-5 at the top of a steep
slope.It is relatively flat and appears to have been significantly disturbed in the past by scraping.Plant species
include a mixture of upland and wetland species.Several areas had mottling and oxidized rhizospheres,despite
the general lack of dark chroma soils.Deep tire ruts bare evidence of seasonally wet conditions.
