<< Back to Stormwater Retention Credit Trading Program
Installing green infrastructure (GI) can have a range of environmental and financial benefits, including reducing your water bill, improving drainage, providing attractive landscaping and helping reduce pollution to the District’s rivers and streams.
If GI meets program eligibility requirements, it may also be used to generate High-Impact Stormwater Retention Credits (SRCs).
High-Impact SRCs are a tradable credit generated in the District of Columbia by installing new, voluntary green infrastructure in areas of the city that drain to the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). Many property owners choose to partner with an SRC-aggregating business that can install and maintain green infrastructure on their property, often at no cost to you.
If you’re interested in partnering with an SRC aggregator you use the SRC Registry to find a partner.
If you would like to install SRC-generating GI without partnering with an aggregator, DOEE offers several resources to help with your project:

Some properties may also be eligible for assistance in installing GI through DOEE’s RiverSmart Programs.
