One of DDOE’s new bioretention cells at work during yesterday’s rainstorm! This facility helped capture a considerable amount of water from 1st St NE yesterday in NOMA, allowing it to be sequestered by plant life or infiltrate into the ground. Projects such as this are necessary for reducing polluted stormwater runoff from reaching our local streams and rivers. Just an example of how the District is working hard to restore our local watersheds, the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, and the Chesapeake Bay. Come check out this beautiful new device at 1200 1st St NE., Washington.
