ELLICOTT CITY, MD – Howard County’s Department of Public Works (DPW) will hold a virtual public meeting on Tuesday, March 2nd starting at 6:00 p.m., to discuss plans for an Ellicott City pond improvement project.
To improve a stormwater pond along Montgomery Run Road behind 8495 Falls Run Road, DPW’s Bureau of Environmental Services plans to install a reinforced concrete riser and spillway pipe, as well as grade and stabilize approximately 150 feet of the pond outfall channel. In addition, plantings will be also installed at the pond’s perimeter to improve water quality. The project is expected to begin in August 2021.
The informal meeting will include an overview of the 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.
