DC Green Infrastructure Implementation Plan Modification

Under a 2005 consent decree, DC Water was permitted to evaluate green infrastructure as an alternate or supplement to gray infrastructure controls in the Rock Creek and Potomac River drainage areas. In 2016, EPA, the District of Columbia, and DC Water agreed to modify the 2005 consent decree to include an aggressive green infrastructure implementation plan across those major sewersheds.
