From one of our local Emergency Preparedness Groups – Ready NW Eugene:
The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality is asking for your public input about the proposed rules for the Fuel Tank Storage facilities located in Eugene that store over 2 million gallons of fuel.
Fuel tank farms provide gasoline, diesel and jet fuel to people in Oregon. However, many tanks in Oregon may be vulnerable to earthquakes, which means they present a risk to the local communities and the environment.
Under the rules created in this process, facilities will develop plans that include actions to protect public health, life safety, and environmental safety within the facility, in areas adjacent to the facility and in other areas that may be affected as a result of damages to the facility. The plans must consider the impacts of a magnitude 9.0 Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake, the potential consequences of that event and the resources needed to respond.
Thank you,
Charlsey Cartwright and Joel Robe

Next Steps
Community input will help inform recommendations from the River Road and Santa Clara Community Organizations and the Community Advisory Committee, which will be shared with the Eugene and Lane County Planning Commissions. The formal adoption process will include work sessions and public hearings with both Planning Commissions, who will each form recommendations to Eugene City Council and the Lane County Board of Commissioners. The Council and Board will then hold their own public hearings, deliberate, and take action on the plan.

With countless volunteer and staff hours, neighborhood planning has entered the final phase – Adoption! After years of gathering community input for the visions, goals, and policies in the Neighborhood Plan, the Community Advisory Committee is ready to present the draft Neighborhood Plan back to the neighbors who inspired it.
