Challenges included meeting 100 percent treatment within an environmentally sensitive corridor and maximizing hydromodification mitigation.

WRECO's Oakland Office Becomes a Green Business
October 2009
The WRECO Oakland office obtained its Bay Area Green Business certification in November. Meeting the requirements was an expansion of what the Oakland staff were already doing, such as taking public transportation and using recycled content paper. Some of the requirements included using energy efficient equipment, putting low-flow aerators in the kitchen and bathroom sinks, and installing light sensors. WRECO is committed to green business practices, and the Oakland staff have created other ways to keep the business green such as making scratch paper pads and having a designated reuse zone for folders and binder clips.
