Inter-fluve: Leaders in restoration, creation and enhancement of streams, rivers, lakes and wetlands


The January 2008 issue of Civil Engineering Magazine features an article titled, “STREAM RESTORATION: Portland Project Combines Flood Storage, Habitat Improvements” by Jay Landers (pg 19). The article focuses on the efforts of the City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) to improve flood storage and enhance fisheries and natural stream conditions along Johnson Creek in the East Powell Butte neighborhood in Portland, Oregon.

“The combination of the civil engineering and the intensive reforestation project will provide a self-sustaining floodplain and stream system that won’t need long-term maintenance,” says James Allison, project manager from BES. The project was developed to improve local conditions along Johnson Creek, furthering the goals of the BES Johnson Creek Restoration Plan.
