WHY?
The District Department of the Environment is currently compensating property owners who install green roofs and other technologies to help protect the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers. Learn more at http://green.dc.gov/greenroofs
Washington, DC, like several older East Coast cities, utilizes a combined sewer system, a popular concept in the 1800’s. This system combines stormwater and raw sewage in the same pipes, which convey to the Blue Plains water treatment plant.
Because the system combines stormwater with sewage, increased stormwater runoff causes CSOs (combined sewer overflows) in which raw sewage is dumped into Rock Creek Park, the Potomac River, and the Anacostia River.
Green roofs are an important tool for reducing stormwater runoff and minimize CSOs.
