The Portland Water Bureau has halted the construction of its $2.1 billion filtration plant in rural East Multnomah County after the state Land Use Board of Appeals rejected its permit. The board found that the county did not sufficiently assess the impact of the plant on the area's natural resources, particularly on the environment surrounding the Oxbow Regional Park. As a result, officials must reassess the project's implications on the local ecosystem before moving forward with construction, which began earlier this year.
The Portland Water Bureau's $2.1 billion filtration plant is halted due to a permit rejection that failed to address environmental impact on nearby natural resources.
In January, the state Land Use Board of Appeals mandated a reconsideration of the plant's land use permit, indicating insufficient evaluation of environmental effects.
