Public Comment on Proposed Stormwater Guidance for Cleanup Sites
DEQ Accepts Informal Public Comment on Proposed Stormwater Guidance for Cleanup Sites
DEQ has developed a draft guidance document for conducting a stormwater pathway evaluation at cleanup sites. DEQ is accepting public comments through June 30, 2008. After that time, DEQ will consider all comments received and incorporate them into the document where appropriate. DEQ is not planning to prepare a Response to Comments.
The guidance document can be viewed or downloaded from DEQ’s website at http://www.deq.state.or.us/pubs/reports.htm#Review
In large part, the guidance stems from DEQ's source control work in Portland Harbor and the Columbia Slough where sediment recontamination from stormwater discharges is a significant concern. However, the stormwater pathway may require investigation at other cleanup sites, so this guidance has been developed for DEQ's statewide Cleanup Program.

The Bureau of Planning is formally launching the Portland Plan through a series of events in May and June, including neighborhood meetings in May, a Leadership Summit on June 6, and two Community Summits on June 14. These meetings are meant to inform the public about the Portland Plan as well as inspire our community to help create the next generation of visionary planning for Portland. The Portland Plan will include an updated and expanded Comprehensive Plan and an updated Central City Plan.
