Purpose of the Project
The pollutant reduction achieved by this project will be applied towards implementation of the City's local phosphorus total maximum daily load action plan.
How the Project Improves Water Quality
This project will restore the shoreline at Saw Pen Point Park to prevent erosion and create wetlands. These shoreline management practices will restore the eroded shoreline and protect it from future erosion as a pollutant reduction practice following Chesapeake Bay Program Expert Panel recommendations. The project will reduce stormwater pollutants entering the western branch of the Lynnhaven River.
