Sun rays and firs, Mount Tabor Park, Portland

            In 1903, John Charles Olmsted of the Massachusetts-based landscape design firm Olmsted Brothers recommended that a city park be developed at Mount Tabor.  Portland Parks Superintendent Emanuel T. Mische, who had worked at Olmsted Brothers, consulted with Olmsted on the park layout and integration of the reservoirs into the park design. This is one of three open reservoirs at Mt Tabor Park and of five total in Portland.  The 3 open reservoirs in Mount Tabor Park were placed in the National Register of Historic Places on January 15, 2004.  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation: Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, referred to as the LT2 rule imposes new requirements that open water reservoirs be covered, buried or additionally treated.  This applies to Portland's five open reservoirs and to the unfiltered Bull Run sourse supplying them. Portland, Oregon, USA.
