Potomac
Electric Power Company (Pepco) and the National Park
Service donated the old pump house to the ECC for
restoration and the building is now the first working
commercial GreenRoof in Washington, DC. The ECC is
a non profit organization which provides environmental
education and restoration projects for disadvantaged
youth who face violence and uncertain futures. Through
tasks such as cleaning up the Anacostia River and
returning the bald eagle to its natural habitat, young
people are encouraged to develop a sense of community
service and pride in themselves and their surroundings.
Magco Inc., a leading roofing contractor in the Mid-Atlantic
region and experienced installer of GreenRoofs donated
their time and efforts for the installation of the
TectaGreen™ waterproofing system.
