  • Channel drain detail of stormwater facilities, Tanner Springs Park, Portland, Oregon.  This 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.

  • The Living Roof of the California Academy of Sciences building within Golden Gate Park, and adjacent to the De Young Museum.  The roof provides stormwater management for both flow reduction and water quality.  The living roof contains over 40 native California plant species and provides habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, particularly butterflies.  The rooftop's seven undulating green hillocks pay homage to the iconic topography of San Francisco and blurs the boundary between building and parkland.  Living roofs significantly reduce Heat Island Effect, and the vent windows help manage interior climate.

  • 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.
