$3M Shoreline Project Relies On Edgewater, Hanover Businesses

EDGEWATER, MD — Two Anne Arundel County companies have received a $3.016 million contract from the county public works department's watershed protection and restoration program to restore 2,875 feet of shoreline. The winning design-build team consists of BayLand Consultants & Designers, Inc., based in Hanover, and the sub-contractor, Shoreline Design, LLC, of Edgewater.

Launched in 2016, this is the fourth award of the county’s "Full Delivery of Water Quality Improvements” contract, designed to increase the county’s environmental restoration capacity. The contract is structured to help Anne Arundel County meet its federal pollution reduction permits and goals by partnering with the private sector to implement cost-effective restoration projects that reduce runoff. Specifically, the work will support the county’s municipal separate storm sewer system and Chesapeake Bay total maximum daily load permits.

“Clean water is fundamental to who we are and what we value as stewards of Anne Arundel County. High quality creeks and streams, stable and ecologically diverse rivers, fully functional wetlands, and a healthy Chesapeake Bay are critical elements to a robust economy, resilient communities, and a vibrant quality of life,” said Anne Arundel County Executive Steuart Pittman. “This partnership shows that we are making significant progress in both effectively and efficiently improving our waters.”
