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.
