  • Vegetated Sand Filter.  Tanner Springs Park in the Pearl District of downtown Portland, Oregon is a modern-day experiment in sustainable design and stormwater management.  The water feature, designed by Herbert Dreiseitl is an effort to re-create the pre-industrial wetlands and riparian ecology of the original Tanner Creek that flowed to the nearby Willamette River in the early 1800s.  One sustainability feature of the park is the collection, treatment and recirculation of all rainwater that falls within the park.  Additional sustainability features include the re-use of basalt cobbles, or Belgian Blocks, for walkways and the re-use of rusty railroad rails for the undulating wall.

  • Stormwater Management Facilities in the right-of-way provide water quality function before flows infiltrate at dry wells under the streets.  The engineered soil is the filter medium.  The inlet with steel grate is an overflow, to prevent backup flooding in the streets during storms of greater intensity or extended duration.  New Columbia project for the Housing Authority of Portland.

  • Vegetated Filter Strip treats rain water runoff from parking lot before it reaches a swale which in turn discharges the stormwater into a nearby stream.   Vegetated filter strips are now a widely accepted best management practice (BMP) for low impact development.  They work on the principle of contact time and therefore require low runoff velocities.  This is achieved by maintaining low-angled slopes and avoiding flow-concentrating features such as curbs.

  • The heartwarming experience of turtle hatchlings returning to the sea just after sunset on the sheltered Pacific Ocean beach of Playa la Ropa, Zihuatanejo, Guerrero, Mexico.  These green turtles (Chelonia mydas), once common, are now endangered and have been released by "turtle-saver" volunteers working to save them from extinction.  Releasing them just after sunset maximizes their chances of survival by evading predators, both natural and human.  Good luck little fellas!

  • The Morrison Bridge (1958) viewed through spans of the Burnside Bridge (1926), both spanning the Willamette River in downtown Portland. Both bridges are double-leaf bascule drawspan bridges, the distant bridge (Morrison) being approximately three decades more modern in design. Portland, Oregon USA.

  • Burnside Bridge (1926) comprises a double-leaf bascule drawbridge main span, flanked by longer riveted double-intersection Warren deck truss approach spans. The bridge has long multi-beam steel deck girder approach spans bridging railroad tracks, freeways and city streets of downtown Portland, while the main span bridges a fetch of the Willamette River navigable to full-size commercial shipping. This bridge replaced the original 1894 wrought iron truss steam-powered swing-span bridge, two spans of which were repurposed as the current Bull Run River Bridge and Sandy River Bridge on Lusted Road, both in neighboring Clackamas County. Striking features of this bridge are its riveted double-intersection (lattice) Warren trusses featuring intermediate sub-verticals – an uncommon truss configuration, and its ornate bridge operator’s houses. The bridge was designed by Gustav Lindenthal and Joseph Strauss. Other notable features are its hidden below-deck counterweights, ornamental concrete balustrade railings, and fine metal railings on the lift spans. This bridge has great historical significance. Multnomah County, Oregon, USA.

  • Reservoir 5 at Mt Tabor Park was emptied by Portland Water Bureau in October 2022, to check for leaks in the liner, seen here. Reservoir 5 (1911) is one of three open reservoirs at Mount Tabor Park and of five total in Portland.  Mount Tabor's three open reservoirs and their ancillary structures were placed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2006 regulation known as the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (aka the LT2 Rule) imposed new requirements that open water reservoirs be covered, buried or additionally treated.  This applies to Portland's five open reservoirs and to the unfiltered Bull Run source supplying them. These requirements could not practicably be met while maintaining these open reservoirs, and in 2016 all of the reservoirs at Mount Tabor were finally taken offline and permanently disconnected from Portland’s drinking water system.
