Over the past 10 years, the Clean Rivers Impervious Area Charge (CRIAC) rates have increased to help pay for a $2.7 billion project to significantly reduce the discharge of raw sewage and stormwater runoff in to the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers and Rock Creek. The District recognizes these increases have imposed a burden on nonprofit organizations and many District households. The CRIAC Relief Programs provide financial relief to eligible nonprofits, renters, and homeowners, significantly reducing their CRIAC costs.
