This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202), provides $1,250,000 in funding to the Montgomery County Department of the Environment in Maryland. The funding will support three projects to improve water quality and increase tree canopy, as well as six community-based, small-scale restoration projects to improve water quality in local streams and waterways. Key activities include removing 7,200 square feet of impervious surface, developing two comprehensive stormwater design plans, installing two native plant meadows and one bioretention/rain garden, reforesting 3.8 acres, and planting 1,175 individual trees. A subaward of unspecified amount will be provided to the Chesapeake Bay Trust to assist with installing the native meadows and bioretention/rain garden, planting 25 trees, and developing the two stormwater design plans. The anticipated outcomes include improved water quality in local streams and waterways, as well as increased tree canopy, which will benefit the residents of Montgomery County, Maryland and the environment.
