Action Plan Available for Download
 The Southern
Willamette Valley Groundwater Management Area (GWMA)
Action Plan (PDF download) has been finalized
by the GWMA Committee. The Action Plan contains about
60 suggested management practices that could help
to restore and protect the groundwater in the Southern
Willamette Valley for future uses. There are actions
that may be taken by individuals, businesses, and
agencies—almost everyone who lives or works
within the GWMA has an interest in the groundwater
resource, and an opportunity to protect it. The Department

 LCOG
is happy to introduce the first annual Regional
Trends: Data for Sound Decision Making in Lane
County (1.70mb PDF). In this report, one
will find a sampling of some of the most frequently
requested data sets that LCOG compiles. It is hoped
that this information will help staff and public

planning projects, grant applications, and economic
development projects. Regional

the most recent data on a subject becomes available.
Please email Megan Banks with
