Timbers At Troy Stream To Be Restored

ELKRIDGE, MD - From Howard County Government: A Howard County construction project to restore and stabilize approximately 2,450 linear feet of stream on The Timbers of Troy golf course at 6100 Marshalee Drive in Elkridge is expected to begin on or about Monday, December 11. This unnamed tributary to the Patuxent River has been heavily impacted by stormwater and as a result, has eroded significantly. This project will include use of wood and rock structures to reestablish a more natural stream, reduce instream erosion and improve water quality. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by mid-March 2018.

Signs have been posted in the vicinity of the project to advise motorists and pedestrians of the construction. The project is not expected to impact the flow of vehicular traffic or impact sidewalks and pathways.

The project is funded through the County’s Watershed Protection and Restoration Fund.
