Environmental Services proposed changes to the Stormwater Management Manual (SWMM) in July 2024. This presentation is an overview of those changes.
About the SWMM:
The Stormwater Management Manual (SWMM) provides policy and design requirements that govern stormwater management. All development, redevelopment, and improvement projects within Portland on private and public property and in the public right-of-way must meet SWMM requirements.
The SWMM enables the City of Portland to comply with regulatory requirements, protect watershed resources and infrastructure investments, and achieve important citywide goals with every development or improvement.
About Environmental Services:
Environmental Services - the City of Portland’s sewer and stormwater utility - protects public health and the environment by collecting and recovering resources from the city’s wastewater, managing stormwater, and restoring and protecting Portland’s rivers, streams, and watersheds.
