A Virtual Informational Workshop will be held on Tuesday, December 1, 2020 from 5:30pm - 6:30pm for the Anne Arundel County Watershed Restoration Grant Program.
Please RSVP for the workshop here.
The Anne Arundel County Watershed Restoration Grant Program will fund projects to reduce pollutants through the implementation of watershed restoration practices. This award program aims to improve water quality in the local streams and waterways, as called for in the County’s Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Permit and the City of Annapolis’ Stormwater Management Inventory and Watershed Improvement Plan, which require reductions in storm flow volume and pollutants entering the waterways. Projects must be implemented in Anne Arundel County, Maryland (including within the City of Annapolis), and applications must include at least one partner that represents a stakeholder group based in the County/City.
Funding partners will support the construction of the following types of watershed restoration implementation projects to achieve reductions of storm flow and pollutants to County waterways:
- Bioretention cells, bioswales, rain gardens, and additional stormwater BMPs;
- Stormwater wetland and marsh creation and enhancement;
- Stream and wetland restoration;
- Regenerative conveyance systems (coastal plain outfalls, step pool storm conveyance, etc.);
- Living shorelines (on community or public property); and
- Green roofs.
The Trust is accepting applications now and we urge you to reach out early to discuss project ideas and schedule a site visit!
