Stormwater Monitoring Two Ecoroofs in Portland, Oregon, USA Report by Doug Hutchinson, Peter Abrams, Ryan Retzlaff, and Tom Liptan City of Portland, Bureau of Environmental Services The City of Portland's Bureau of Environmental Services initiated a monitoring project of an apartment building vegetated with two different green roofs in order to generate performance data on green roofs as stormwater management tools. They also endeavored to apply this information to system modeling efforts to determine hydrologic and hydraulic infrastructure and stream benefits that may be achieved. This information was generated to assist bureau managers, planners, engineers and elected officials with policy decisions, such as zoning density bonuses, infrastructure designs, drainage fee discounts, and code compliance.
