  • The First Regiment Armory Annex, commonly known as the Portland Armory Building, at 128 NW 11th Avenue.  The building was renovated from 2002 to 2006 (to LEED Platinum certification) and now houses the Gerding Theater, used primarily by the theatre group Portland Center Stage.   The adjacent Vera Katz Sidewalk Park, or Sliver Park, includes a bioswale for stormwater treatment and a water channel of sculpted black basalt.  The water feature design, by Scott Murase of landscape architect firm Murase Associates, is part of the building's storm water management and is fed by roof runoff.

  • 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.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation known as the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (aka the LT2 Rule) imposes 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.  In 2016, all of the reservoirs at Mount Tabor were finally taken offline and permanently disconnected from Portland’s drinking water system.

  • 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.
