Description

ELLICOTT CITY, MD — A virtual public meeting will be held Aug. 24 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss plans for a stream restoration project in Ellicott City that's located behind Dunloggin Middle School, 9129 Northfield Road. The "significantly eroded stream" will be stabilized with wood and rock structures, along with bioengineered plants in order to re-establish a more natural stream, reduce instream erosion and improve water quality. The project is expected to begin in November 2021 and will be partially funded through a Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays Trust Fund Grant administered by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Howard County Watershed Protection and Restoration Fund. The informal meeting will include an overview of the design, followed by an open discussion. County staff and the project's design consultant will also be on hand to answer any questions and gather public comments.
