This initiative directly aligns with the broader mission of environmental stewardship and public health by addressing critical water quality issues within the District.

Expected outcomes include a measurable reduction in water pollution, improved ecological health of District streams and rivers, and enhanced public awareness of clean water issues. While specific measurable results are not detailed in the provided text, the emphasis on CWA compliance strongly implies metrics related to water quality standards and pollutant reduction. The DOEE's strategic priorities, rooted in the Clean Water Act, guide this program, and it operates under the theory of change that by investing in infrastructure and innovative solutions, the District can achieve and maintain healthy water systems for current and future generations.
