Crofton Park Stream Restoration
Stream Restoration
Anne Arundel County Public Schools
Crofton, MD
This project provided functional value to a stream classified in poor-fair condition, per a stream assessment from 2017. Improvement to vertical and lateral stability of the stream was achieved through stabilizing the culvert outfall, installing a step pool system, bank stabilization, and installing in-stream structures. The restoration increased bedform diversity and provided some reconnection to the floodplain. Additionally, native species planting provided biodiversity to an area void of the same.
