Watts Branch Stream - Upper

Purpose: This project funds repairs to specific stream valley erosion problems identified in the Watts Branch Watershed Study. The work area is between Nelson Street and Gude Drive along the main stem of Watts Branch. This project provides stabilization to approximately 3,200 linear feet of streambank and stabilizes or extends two eroded storm drain outfalls on the west side of Watts Branch near Azalea Drive and Aster Boulevard. 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.

First Appeared in Rockville's Capital Improvement Program: Fiscal Year 2002.

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