Water Quality Restoration - NPDES Compliance, Charles County, MD
A. Morton Thomas and Associates, Inc. provided design of three wetland SWM facilities at three locations in Charles County (Carrington Home Owners Association, Dr. Brown Elementary School and Middleton Elementary School) to meet their NPDES Program. The County's goals were to improve and provide water quality and to meet and/or exceed the County's requirements for SWM, improve wildlife habitat, and implement the watershed improvement projects that satisfy both environmental and community needs as outlined within the Charles County Watershed Restoration Study dated September 2004. All the projects are located within the Carrington Watershed.
