Woottons Mill Park Stream - Lower

Purpose: This project funds stabilization repairs to one stream valley erosion problem in Woottons Mill Park, below Wootton Parkway, along the main stem of Watts Branch as identified in the Watts Branch Watershed Study. These repairs stabilize approximately 1,600 linear feet of streambank. Staff will work closely with the community in the concept-refinement phase to evaluate project goals and construction access to minimize the impacts on the forest, and active and passive recreational areas. In addition, implementing this watershed improvement project supports Rockville's contribution to Maryland's voluntary C2K initiatives, as well as supports mandatory compliance with NPDES and TMDL requirements. Sewer repair and protection work will be conducted concurrently, as needed.

First Appeared in Rockville's Capital Improvement Program: Fiscal Year 2005.

Staff Contact: Department of Public Works. John Scabis, Civil Engineer II, 240-314-8500.
