You can generate and sell Stormwater Retention Credits (SRCs) to earn revenue for projects that reduce harmful stormwater runoff by installing green infrastructure (GI) or by removing impervious surfaces. Installing new, voluntary GI in the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) will generate High-Impact SRCs which provide the greatest water quality benefits to the District’s waterbodies.
