Arthur Capper Hope VI Housing Project
Client: NFWF Grant
Grant Date: 2002
Housing Template
This is a retrofit study for a large
scale redevelopment to determine how LID can be incorporated
into community design. The study includes design templates
and a modeling demonstration on the effectiveness of the
approach. This has become a model for many retrofit
projects throughout the country.
Arthur Capper Hope VI is a 120 acre mixed use urban redevelopment project adjacent to the Navy Yard in Southeast Washington . The LID Center developed retrofit protocols and strategies for a guidance document that the District will use as part of the zoning approval process.
Templates were developed for each projected land use showing how decentralized controls could be incorporated into the design. The templates were used to develop a model showing the reduction of combined sewer overflows (CSO) and the improvement in water quality that can be achieved by using decentralized controls.
