Howard and Montgomery Counties to Develop Watershed Management Plan
Howard and Montgomery Counties are working together to develop a watershed management plan for the Patuxent Reservoirs Watershed. Public hearings will be held in May in both counties to discuss the plan.
The objectives of the watershed management plan are to compile existing information on the watershed and to provide a qualitative characterization and assessment of the watershed. The plan is a part of a goal developed to protect the Patuxent Reservoirs in the Patuxent Reservoirs Watershed Protection Agreement.
The first public hearing will be held May 5, 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Reservoir High School, 11550 Scaggsville Rd. Fulton, MD 20759. Another will be held May 14, 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Wildlife Achievement Chapter-Izaak Walton League, 26430 Mullinix Mill Rd., Mt Airy, Md. 21771.
