Regional Industrial Wetlands / Wetlands Mitigation Solutions

Overview of key findings...  What is a “wetland”?  How do wetlands impact industrial development?  How will we move forward?

What is a “wetland”?  May not always be wet –  Seasonal  Altered (farmed, tiled, channeled)  Inundated or saturated with ground or surface water to support hydrophytes (aquatic plants)

What is a “wetland”? Is this Tangent site likely to be a wetland? What about this Corvallis site?

What is a “wetland”?  Serve important functions –  Storm water retention  Ground water recharge  Filter contaminates  Wildlife & plant habitat  Recreation  Aesthetics

How do wetlands impact sites?  Almost all industrial sites have areas of known or suspected wetlands  Few 10+ acre sites could be developed without impacting likely wetlands area...

How do wetlands impact sites? Lebanon Rodeo Industrial Park Total Area of Sites: Acres Delineated Wetlands: 73.1 Acres

How do wetlands impact sites? South Albany Industrial Park Total Area of Sites: Acres Delineated Wetlands: Acres

What are the issues? Phase I findings –  Uncertainty & time to address wetlands permit requirements are impediments to siting industry  Cost to meet regulations is a lesser factor for larger build-to-suit development

What are the issues?  Development impacting wetlands must be approved  Development must - #1 - Avoid wetlands area #2 - Minimize impact to wetlands #3 - Compensate for impact -  Restore / create new wetlands  Same / more wetlands area  Same / enhanced functions & values

What are the issues?  2 separate approvals -  Oregon Dept. of State Lands  US Army Corps of Engineers  Review requires real development plan  Review > possible permit can take 1 year  Requires recent delineation  Must prove non-wetlands sites aren’t viable

Track 1: Streamlined permitting Top State priority Regulators support Regional General Permit  Seeking 70%+ certainty...  Current delineation required  Development plan review required  Efficiency in multi-site review  Regional “Alternatives Analysis”  On-site analysis of conditions Funding to  Develop RGP proposal for ~20 prime sites  Package State “Decision-Ready” documentation How will we move forward?
