Watershed Restoration Capital Improvement Projects

Watershed Studies

All of the watersheds within Frederick County are assessed by identifying, ranking, and grouping potential opportunities to fulfill the MS4 permit requirements for watershed restoration.

Capital Improvement Projects

In order to improve water quality and stream health, DEE implements a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that engages in the design and construction of a variety of large-scale projects, such as stream restorations, pond retrofits, new stormwater facilities, reforestation projects, and stormwater wetlands. These projects are identified and ranked during our Watershed Studies, with the goal of achieving the highest impact toward meeting our MS4 permit requirements in the most cost-effective manner.

Here are some of the projects we have completed to date:
