Maryland 26-NT-3107 Approved Lake Elkhorn Construction Plans.pdf

This is a construction plan approval document for the Lake Elkhorn East Inlet Boardwalk Replacement project involving the Columbia Association in Maryland. The project encompasses the replacement of the boardwalk at Lake Elkhorn's east inlet, with construction anticipated to occur from January 4, 2027 through April 2, 2027, subject to adjustment based on contract execution and issuance of the Notice to Proceed. A critical constraint on the project is that all in-stream work must be completed by February 28, 2027, as the Little Patuxent River stream tributary feeding Lake Elkhorn is classified by the State of Maryland as Nontidal Stream Use Class IV Recreational Trout Waters, and the Maryland Department of the Environment imposes Time-of-Year-Restrictions on construction projects affecting aquatic habitats in the tributary from March 1 through May 31.

The approved construction plans document serves as the detailed technical specifications and design requirements for contractors bidding on or executing the boardwalk replacement project. No specific pricing, set-asides, or funding source information is detailed in this plan approval document; however, the document confirms that the project has received the necessary approvals and establishes the environmental compliance framework under which all construction activities must be performed.
