This is a project specification document for the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) related to shoreline restoration work at the Francis Scott Key Police Headquarters facility located at 4330 Broening Highway in Baltimore County, Maryland, along I-695 north of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The project scope involves installing offshore riprap breakwaters to the northeast and east of the peninsula, constructing a revetment at the southeastern point, and establishing a tidal marsh fringe with gently sloped upland tree and shrub zones behind the breakwaters to restore the eroding shoreline at the facility. The work is designed to address significant erosion issues affecting the police headquarters property and will include landscape restoration elements to support natural habitat recovery.

The project represents a comprehensive environmental and infrastructure improvement initiative combining structural erosion control measures with ecological restoration. The offshore breakwaters and revetment will provide protection against continued shoreline degradation, while the planned marsh fringe and upland vegetation zones will create transitional ecological areas that support water quality improvement and habitat development. This integrated approach addresses both the immediate infrastructure protection needs of the MDTA facility and longer-term environmental sustainability objectives for the waterfront property.
