DRC Reimbursement and Funding Check

Design Retention Capacity (DRC) is comprised of (1) the constructed volume of stormwater stored within the stone void spaces built into the ground and/or that can pond on the surface of the green infrastructure (“Constructed Volume”) and (2) the volume of water that can infiltrate into the ground beneath the green infrastructure during a six (6) hour time period (“Infiltration Volume”). Optional: When finalizing your Full Application, you will be asked to calculate your project's DRC using the MWRDGC Stormwater Design Retention Capacity Calculator.

DRC Reimbursement Rate

Select the municipality or township where the GI will be built in.

This project may receive $0 per gallon of DRC up to a maximum of 0% of the project's green infrastructure construction cost.
