Portland, OR

EPA is working with Portland to provide support for:

  • equitable development
  • urban waters (including green infrastructure)
  • air quality improvements
  • brownfields cleanup and revitalization

Through citizen science and environmental mapping tools, EPA is also engaging local government, academic institutions and community-based organizations to support communities with environmental justice concerns.
