Capital Project Description: The Stream Restorations project encompasses the design and construction of degraded streams throughout Frederick County. These projects create in-stream stability, reduce in-stream erosion and, in some instances, protect infrastructure. Projects are identified through Watershed Assessments and local Feasibility Studies and include natural channel designs as well as other stream restoration techniques that improve stream health, decrease erosion of stream banks within the stream channel, and reduce nutrient delivery to downstream waterways. Stream restoration projects assist the County in meeting its NPDES MS4 permit requirements for impervious acre credit as defined by the Maryland Department of the Environment. Projects may be located on public and private lands and will be protected by a permanent easement. Subprojects anticipated to be completed include streams within the Spring Ridge and Ballenger Creek communities, Rose Hill Manor Park and Ballenger Creek Park stream restorations.
