1 Embracing the Green Project Reserve of the Clean Water State Revolving Fund From Stimulus Forward Russell Clark and Stephen Reiling District of Columbia Department of the Environment

2 Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) History Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972 Section 207 authorized the first Construction Grants Program focused on point source pollution mitigation Water Quality Act of 1987 Replaced the Construction Grants Program with the State Revolving Loan Fund Program Emphasized nonpoint source pollution mitigation American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 $4 billion additionally appropriated to CWSRF Emphasis on rapid fund distribution Introduced Green Project Reserve (GPR) requirement

3 Green Project Reserve History The GPR requirement first appeared in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, often referred to as the federal stimulus program. The GPR goal under ARRA mandated that 20% of ARRA funds be spent on categorically green projects. The same goal was included in the FY10 SRF program. Regardless of whether this becomes a permanent feature of the SRF program, EPA is encouraging voluntary adoption of the requirement in future fiscal years.

4 Categorical Green Project Reserve Eligibility Categorically qualified Green Reserve projects must demonstrate at least a 20% savings in energy, an increase in water efficiency, or utilize green stormwater practices that demonstrate new or innovative approaches to sustainable water management. Categorically qualified Green Reserve projects can be sorted into four distinct categories: 1. Energy Efficiency Projects 2. Water Efficiency Projects 3. Green Infrastructure Projects 4. Environmentally Innovative Projects

5 Percentage of state ARRA grants allocated to the Green Project Reserve

6 The District s Commitment The District s goal was to spend 100% of ARRA CWSRF funding on GPR projects. It succeeded in committing 93.5% for a total of over $14 million. Due to a lack of more ARRA ready projects, DDOE passed the remaining balance on to the District s water treatment facility for other CWSRF projects.

7 District Green Reserve Projects Green Infrastructure and Environmentally Innovative Projects Green roofs The District funded 20 Rainwater harvesting individual projects! Downspout disconnection Urban tree canopy restoration Public space impervious surface removal Greening of medians and alleys Stream restoration Bioretention

8 Funding Mechanisms MOUs with other District agencies Green roofs on schools and libraries Green toilets at a school Green public spaces, medians and alleys Grants to NGOs for subsidy programs Green roofs on commercial buildings Tree planting on residential properties RiverSmart Homes (residential properties) Design/Build contracts Rainwater harvesting at fire stations Bioretention in public space Stream restoration

10 FEMS Rainwater Harvesting

11 RiverSmart Homes

12 RSC Design/Build Contract

13 Beyond ARRA

14 Challenges CHALLENGE GREY GREEN Scale Shovel Readiness Familiarity with Requirements Existence of Compliance Systems Administrative Cost Limit Centralized, largescale, few projects Construction ready High Yes Works with scale Decentralized, smallscale, many projects Need to design, permit and build Little to none Little to none Far too low

15 Opportunities The District is continuing to maintain a GPR program in future fiscal years. The GPR goal will be reduced from 100% to 50% until requirements are better understood and compliance systems are more sophisticated. Proposed GPR projects include: LID Retrofits for Roadways Unified Green Roof Rebate Program RiverSmart Homes Program Broad Branch Daylighting and Stream Restoration Nash Run Stream Restoration Green Roof Installation at Fire Engine Houses 4, 7, 11 and 12 Tree Planting and Maintenance Impervious Surface Removal
