This project, located in the headwaters of Mill Creek, consists of the stabilization of an outfall channel and stream banks to reduce erosion caused by uncontrolled runoff from the upstream development. In addition, a short section of stream channel will be created to improve drainage and reduce flooding. This project will stabilize the eroding stream and protect adjacent properties from undermining and flooding. The stream stabilization will provide significant water quality benefits and contribute to meeting the County’s permit obligations for the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (CBTMDL) requirements.
