Project location: District of Columbia

Problem:  For twenty years, a prime 20-acre parcel of land in DC sat undeveloped due to concerns about being able to effectively manage stormwater runoff.  The parcel is located atop a steep hill, adjacent to the Anacostia river, in a gateway area of DC.

Project location: Clear Spring, MD

Problem:  Water runoff from storm events collected in pools on the road and driveway in front of the Claud E.

Project location: Talbot County, MD

Problem: On Maryland’s Eastern Shore, runoff from agricultural land typically flows to roadside ditches, which convey runoff to receiving streams, rivers, and the Chesapeake Bay. Agricultural runoff often contains high levels of nitrogen and phosphorous, which can cause nutrient over-enrichment, algal blooms, and dead zones in the Bay.
