PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Sedimentation has been occurring in the tidal areas of Foster Branch and Rumsey Island requiring dredging for boating access. A watershed assessment was completed in Foster Branch in 2012. Assessments for Mariner Run (Rumsey Island sub watershed) and Rumsey Island are pending. The assessments provide prioritized recommendations for restoration projects, including stream restoration and stormwater management retrofit that provides the most cost effective improvements to water quality and reductions in sedimentation. Water quality restoration projects are required under the County's municipal NPDES or MS4 permit and through the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Implementation Plan as required under the Bay TMDL.
