Stream Restoration - May 2018

Scope of Work

This project consists of the stabilization of outfalls and stream banks to reduce erosion caused by uncontrolled runoff from the upper east branch of the Mill Creek Watershed. This project will provide stabilization to the eroding streams in Mill Creek and protect adjacent utilities and properties from undermining due to erosion.

Additionally, this stream restoration 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.
