News & Issues

Healthy Portland Streams Project - Through Healthy Portland Streams, we are evaluating and recommending solutions-regulations and voluntary efforts-to help protect and restore our streams and their surroundings, to ensure clean water, to prevent erosion, manage floods, and preserve the natural spaces for wildlife, fish, and people to enjoy. We want to spur discussion of the issues, and the solutions. This is a work in progress, with difficult issues still to be resolved.

Lead Poisoning Prevention - Did you know that 5% of children under 6 in the US are lead poisoned? Did you know that of 3,500 Counties Multnomah County ranked 48th at risk of lead poisoning? Did you know that lead poisoning is completely preventable?

Pollution Prevention Program - The City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services sponsors the Pollution Prevention (P2) Program. The P2 Program partners with others to ensure a healthy environment today and in the future.

Global Warming Plan - In April 2001, the City of Portland and Multnomah County adopted a joint plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This plan builds on Portland's earlier CO2-reduction efforts and incorporates lessons learned from a review of the progress and lack thereof in implementing its initial strategies. In addition to activities addressing energy efficiency, transportation, renewable energy, solid waste and recycling, and tree planting, the new Local Action Plan on Global Warming emphasizes public outreach and education.

Environmental Services to Offer Stormwater Discount Program - You can help protect our rivers, streams, and groundwater and reduce your monthly stormwater management charge at the same time. The Portland City Council has approved a program that will reduce your stormwater management charge if you safely control and dispose of stormwater runoff from your property. The program will go into effect later in 2001, as soon as the City’s water/sewer billing system is able to apply the new discounts.
