Action
The City Council is requested to adopt Resolution 01-72, authorizing the Mayor to sign an
Intergovernmental Agreement with Washington County for the installation and operation of a
stream gauging station on Springbrook Creek.
Introduction
The Tualatin Basin Watermaster will install, operate, and maintain a stream gauging station on
Springbrook Creek between Iron Mountain Boulevard and the Willamette & Pacific railroad
crossing. The City of Lake Oswego will provide and own the gauging station and equipment.
This is the only stream gauging station in Lake Oswego.
Discussion
The stream gauging station will collect continuous stage, flow, and water temperature data from
Springbrook Creek. The Tualatin Basin Watermaster will provide quarterly operations reports
on this data to the City's Engineering Division. The stream gauging station will also contain a
stormwater sampler that will take "time weighted" composite samples of pre-selected storm
runoff events from Springbrook Creek. The City Engineering Division will prepare water quality
reports on each sampled stormwater event.

This data is vital to understand the flow and water quality characteristics of Springbrook Creek
and for predicting these characteristics in other Oswego Lake tributaries. It will provide
information needed to understand water quality conditions in Springbrook Creek and to assess
the effectiveness of existing and new Best Management Practices (BMP) implemented by the
City.
Alternatives
The alternatives are:
1. Adopt Resolution 01-72, authorizing the Mayor to sign an Intergovernmental Agreement
with Washington County for the installation and operation of a stream gauging station on
Springbrook Creek.
2. Do not adopt Resolution 01-72, authorizing the Mayor to sign an Intergovernmental
Agreement with Washington County for the installation and operation of a stream gauging
station on Springbrook Creek.
Conclusion
Staff recommends that Council adopt Resolution 01-72, authorizing the Mayor to sign an
Intergovernmental Agreement with Washington County for the installation and operation of a
stream gauging station on Springbrook Creek.
