The intent of the project is to meet nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment reductions in accordance with the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) reduction requirements and the Town's Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS-4) permit. The Town will apply for Stormwater Local Assistance Funding that could cover up to half of the construction costs.

Project Updates:  As of January 6, 2026 - Town staff has submitted the grant application for the Stormwater Local Assistance Fund to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. If approved, the funding could cover up to 50% of the project’s construction costs. 

The survey work and environmental inventory have been completed, and the design team has submitted the concept plans for Town staff review.
