| Gingerville Creek Headwaters Restoration by diana |
  |
Yesterday the County started a great stream restoration project on the headwaters off of Gingerville Creek. This section of Gingerville Creek is hidden away off of Riva Road. The stormdrain/pipe drained much of the water from the surrounding area which includes Annapolis High School, Anne Arundel County offices, other misc. office buildings; in other words a lot of impervious suface. This pipe carried so much water at such a high velocity that it created a 15 - 20 foot gorge. All of the sediment that was cut down was carried into Gingerville creek, South River. This is only one of many restoration projects that need to be done across the South River Watershed- we need to slow the water down.
