Why do we need a new Clean Stream Plan?
Effective Erosion Control Practices
Flooding following heavy rains |
The City of Lake Oswego manages about 130 miles of storm drainage pipes. Several thousand catch basins and various specialized facilities including detention/sedimentation basins, and other water quality facilities. We have erosion control, illicit discharge and water quality monitoring programs. In addition we spend over $1 million per year to build new infrastructure or replace old facilities.
We need community guidance to determine how much of our resources should go to managing surface water and to identify our priorities within the surface water program.
Our current master plan, which was the culmination of a similar process 17 years ago, is no longer current: it does not reflect current science, technology or regulations and does not reflect current community goals. |
