Landscaped stormwater planter strip manages rain water from the "first flush" during a rainfall event. Stormwater has filled the first chamber and is overtopping a weir and filling the second chamber. Green streets collect stormwater runoff and route it through facilities like this planter where vegetation and soils filter pollutants before allowing water to soak into the ground. These facilities replenish groundwater and enhance neighborhood green spaces. Green streets require routine cleaning and maintenance. This facility is on NE 47th Avenue at NE Davis Street in Portland, Oregon.
