Portland Agrees with HBA and Builders; Launches Public Engagement Campaign for Erosion and Sediment Control Manual Refresh


Earlier this year, the Bureau of Development Services planned to issue new guidance under the City’s Erosion and Sediment Control Manual and significantly alter the standards for ground cover from established patterns and practices. These changes would have increased building costs without providing any enhanced stormwater management. Despite this, the Bureau had not vetted the new regulations with other City entities or the home building industry. Due to this lack of engagement, the HBA and members asked the Bureau to pull back from implementing the new rules and instead move forward with a robust public engagement process. The Bureau agreed and is in the process of updating the Manual, which was initially published in 2008. To kick off this update, the Bureau is seeking input on erosion control best practices. If you work in the City of Portland and use the Manual, the HBA needs your feedback! Please consider taking a few minutes to complete this survey and stay tuned for ways to participate in the update process moving forward. To learn more about our work in the City of Portland, please contact Ezra Hammer at ezrah@hbapdx.org.
