ELLICOTT CITY, MD – A Howard County construction project to improve the stormwater retention pond at Fall Chill Court and Autumn Rust Road in Ellicott City is scheduled to begin on or about Monday, January 13, 2020.
The project will include the installation of a new concrete riser and 48-inch RCP principal spillway pipe to replace the existing riser and principal spillway. The pond will also be regraded to increase pool depth, forebays will be installed, the emergency spillway reconfigured, inflows stabilized, a plunge pool and riprap stabilization will be added at the pond outfall, and a permanent maintenance access path will be constructed. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by late April 2020.
While the project is not expected to impact the flow of vehicular traffic, the sidewalk along Autumn Rust Road adjacent to the pond will be closed during the project. Signs will be posted to advise residents of the construction and sidewalk closure.
The project is partially funded through the County’s Watershed Protection and Restoration Fund.
