LID Master Plan for
Anacostia River CSO Outfall 006
WELCOME
| The Low Impact Development (LID) Center, in association with the Anacostia Watershed Society, is developing an LID retrofit plan for
the District of Columbia Office of Planning. When completed, it will
serve as a model process for the District and other jurisdictions in
the Chesapeake Bay watershed. This is one of three (3) Legacy grants
awarded annually by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF)
as signature projects and is the first Legacy grant awarded to the
District. |
|
|
| A significant amount of community outreach is built in to the front end of
the project. The goal of the outreach effort is to identify and understand
the stormwater management issues that are important to the community. The
outreach allows the LID Center to determine which LID improvements the
community will support and potentially maintain.
The study also uses advanced technologies such as Pictometry in
conjunction with ArcPad and GIS to inventory and analyze retrofit
opportunities. A series of guidelines and recommendations on how to
institutionalize LID into the planning process and integrate these efforts
with other public works construction programs will be included.
