District Toxics Clean-Up
Clean Water Fund is working with communities along the Anacostia River to drive clean-up of 6 toxic sites in the District of Columbia. Clean Water Fund and community allies want to make sure that the polluters, not the taxpayers, pay for the clean-up, and that the sites are completely cleaned up to insure that neighboring communities and the River are fully protected.

District Bag Fee
Clean Water Fund is working with allies to build on the successful campaign to place a 5 cents fee for plastic and paper bags, to discourage unneccesary waste and help fund clean-up efforts. Clean Water Fund has also worked to ensure that the fund created by the fee isn't raided during challenging budget discussions between the Mayor and Council.

Water Management in the District
Clean Water Fund is working with allies to implement what is expected to be a new strong standard for reducing street and parking lot pollution runoff that is expected to be issued by the Environmental Protection Agency this year. Implementation strategies include working with developers to reduce water waste and encourage re-use of rainwater, and to build landscaping initiatives that increase trees, and other green areas that soak up precipitation to beautify communities.
