Stormwater Facilities and Best Management Practices
Neighborhoods outside the city limits currently have curb and gutter, catch basins, detention ponds, and other stormwater infrastructure. The following are helpful resources for maintaining these types of stormwater facilities.
Stormwater Manager's Resource Center – Comprehensive website that provides Maintenance Inspection Checklists, Best Management Practices, and many other resources.
Rain Gardens
Benton County has partnered with Oregon State University to construct and support long term monitoring of a large stormwater bioretention and treatment facility at the Benton County Avery Facility. More information and current data, results, and more located at: https://research.engr.oregonstate.edu/hydroinformatics/ogsir
Benton County allows 'rain gardens' to capture rainwater and increase infiltration, to reduce surface water runoff during storm events.

Background Information
The US EPA Stormwater Web site provides comprehensive background information on the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System.
Trap the Grease in the Kitchen
Grease washed into the plumbing system through the kitchen sink can build up and block sewer pipes. See the Oregon Association of Clean Water Agencies brochure (linked below) for tips on how to prevent this.
Please visit the Benton County Public Works Department at 360 SW Avery Ave., Corvallis OR, 97333 for more information related to stormwater and water quality.
