TimberMill Shores occupies a previously designated Brownfield site. By adhering to strict Federal and local remediation standards, this land is no longer a burden on the local environment. Additionally, developing brownfield sites rather than building on virgin land helps to maintain natural ecosystems and reduce urban sprawl.

TimberMill Shores captures and treats 100% of its storm water on-site, in addition to a large portion of the downtown storm water run off. Treating storm water on-site reduces the amount of infrastructure needed, maintains natural ground water flows and levels, and utilizes natural methods of water filtration which ultimately helps keep our drinking water safe. TimberMill Shores will filtrate and cleanse a large portion of the downtown storm water system. Prior to TimberMill Shores, a direct City storm line discharged directly into Lake Ewauna without any filtration or protection from harmful oils and garbage. TimberMill Shores designed and engineered a system that would be capable of treating both the developments' and the City's storm water needs prior to discharging into Lake Ewauna. TimberMill Shores can be proud of its efforts to provide a system that not only serves the development, but helps with the City system as well. Ultimately, this is a huge benefit to Lake Ewauna and the entire Klamath River system!

All pedestrian paths at TimberMill Shores are heated with geothermal heat. The use of geothermal heating, both outdoors and for building heating, is a viable and cost effective alternative to using fossil fuels for heat. All building owners in TimberMill Shores are encouraged to utilize this naturally occurring heat source.

All landscape mulch at TimberMill Shores is a byproduct from a local log dock site. Using a waste product from a source a mere one mile away reduces the burden on the local landfill, transportation pollution and costs, and it just makes good sense!
