Federal Government Refuses to Pay Storm Water Fee

The Federal Government (EPA) has mandated that the District of Columbia, reduce the amount of storm water run-off.  In response, DC has mandated a storm water fee to be paid by all property owners.  The problem:  The Federal Government owns 20% of the land area of DC and refuses to pay the fee.
