Environmental Services has completed construction of an outfall pipe to carry stormwater runoff from 24 acres in southwest Portland and from portions of Interstate 5. The 36-inch concrete pipe collects runoff near SW 35th Drive close to Barbur Boulevard and the freeway and discharges stormwater to Falling Creek, a Tryon Creek tributary.

Over the years, erosion undercut the pipe where it drains to the creek. This project replaced the outfall pipe, stabilized slopes around and below the pipe, and, in the coming months, will replant the area with native vegetation.

Thank you for your cooperation during this important project. Please feel free to be in touch with any questions or comments.
