This letter from Steve Gordon informs the property owners in West Eugene, concerned citizens, public officials and the representatives of environmental groups and developers' groups about Workshop No. 5 in preparation for the West Eugene Wetlands Special Area Study. During the workshop, the Lane Council of Government staff will make recommendations concerning the study and gather opinions and comments from the participants.

L06: Environmental Assessment No. OR090-95-06: WEW Project, 4/21/1995

This document, prepared by the Bureau of Land Management, assesses the environmental impact of three different proposals concerning the land in the Stewart-Bertelsen management unit, a block of public land in the west Eugene area. The first proposal is geared towards creating, restoring and enhancing the wetlands in the area as well as the restoration of uplands; the second is a slightly different version of the first proposal with a stronger emphasis on restoring the land to its pre-settlement status, and the third proposal would leave the area practically undisturbed. All three proposals would change the area's environmental status slightly, but not sufficiently to make an Environmental Impact Statement or a change in the West Eugene Wetlands Plan necessary. The document includes a summarizing "Finding of No Significant Impact" certificate and three maps of the management unit and the West Eugene area.

L07: From Gary Gustafson, Oregon Division of State Lands, 11/28/1994

Letter of thanks to Judy Nelson, Bureau of Land Management.
