ELLICOTT CITY, MD – Howard County Department of Public Works’ (DPW) Stormwater Management Division (SWMD) will hold a public meeting on Thursday, October 5th at 7:00 p.m., in the George Howard Building’s Columbia/Ellicott City Room, located at 3430 Courthouse Drive in Ellicott City, to hear community feedback on the South Meadow/Centennial Park North Ponds repair project.
DPW’s SWMD, in coordination with the County’s Department of Recreation & Parks, has collaborated on a capital project to repair a failed stormwater pond at the end of South Meadow Court, which is adjacent to Centennial Park. The capital project also addresses an old failing sediment basin within Centennial Park’s North area, that is also located next to the failed South Meadow Court pond. Repair of the pond and sediment basin will bring the two structures into compliance with current Maryland Department of the Environment standards and regulations, as well as minimize any risk to public safety.
The informal meeting will include an overview of the existing design followed by an open discussion. County staff and the project’s design consultant will be on hand to answer any questions and gather public comments.
Those unable to attend the meeting who would like to view the plans and/or have questions, should contact Mr. Mark Richmond with DPW’s Stormwater Management Division at 410-313-6413 or email msrichmond@howardcountymd.gov.
This project is funded through the County’s Watershed Protection and Restoration Fund.
