Storm and Surface Water Quality
Storm and Surface Water Quality
The majority of storm and surface water that flows from Fairview city limits discharges to Fairview Lake. Fairview Lake discharges to the Columbia Slough which flows to the Willamette River. Because of these connections, Fairview is mandated to comply with applicable water quality requirements of the

federal Clean Water Act as it pertains to these individual water bodies. The City has existing programs and policies that prevent and reduce water pollution through the use of best management practices (BMP’s). The City’s Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) and Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Implementation Plan, help reduce pollutants from stormwater through street and stormwater maintenance activities, development review, spill prevention and response, doggy don’t bags, litter receptacles, public education, etc. There are numerous other plans and activities that protect water quality such as the Stormwater Operation and Maintenance Manual, the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination program, the Columbia South Shore Well Field Wellhead Protection Program, the Consolidated Stormwater Master Plan, Development Review Regulations, and the System Potential Vegetation Report.
