Detailed Tour
description:
Bridgeport Village is
a state-of-the-art
commercial/business development that
transformed a bleak, 27-acre
partially-filled gravel quarry into
a lifestyle center with a European
design flair. The tour will focus
on the regulatory considerations,
design elements, planning,
engineering controls, and monitoring
that made this development possible
in a regulatory environment where
methane is defined as a hazardous
substance and regulated by Oregon
Department of Environmental
Quality's hazardous substance
rules. The tour will include:
-
Descriptions/observations of
engineering controls used in the
development: sub-slab membrane
and passive venting systems;
perimeter and interior active
gas extraction systems; trench
dams; sealed utility conduits;
and methane gas sensors/alarms.
-
Conversation
with Robert Dye, the General
Manager of this development,
regarding considerations and the
challenges of operating the
state-of-the-art lifestyle
center in a methane environment.
