About the Restoration Team
This group is at the core of Anne Arundel County's program to meet Federal and State mandated pollutant load reductions required to achieve the Chesapeake Bay TMDL, including those local TMDLs established for Anne Arundel County's waterways, and impervious surface management requirements under Anne Arundel County's NPDES MS4 Permit. The Program focuses on three key areas to meet these requirements: Stormwater Management Facility Retrofits; Storm Drain Outfall Repairs; and Stream and Wetland Restoration.
The group is responsible for the following project management tasks:
- Assessment and Evaluation
- Prioritization and Project Selection
- Design
- Soliciting Community Input
- Obtaining Federal, State and Local Permits
- Private/Public Property Access Approval
- Construction Oversight
- As-Built Approval
- Adaptive Management
