IMPORTANT INFORMATION

DC Water is working in cooperation with the NPS, which is the lead agency, to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Glover-Archbold Park Sewer Rehabilitation Project as required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). NEPA regulations mandate that a review period is completed once the EA is made available to the public. At that time stakeholders such as Advisory Neighborhood Commissions and the public will be notified.
