In 2009, Montgomery County selected the Breewood Tributary for watershed restoration to meet MS4 Permit requirements. A comprehensive biological and water quality study shows that past development had degraded the tributary. Development dating back to the 1950's did not include stormwater management practices commonly used today. Over the years, the uncontrolled storm flows have resulted in erosion, pollution and poor water quality and wildlife habitat.<br><br>Montgomery County, in partnership with the community, has launched a multi-year restoration initiative to implement a series of projects to reverse the damage to the stream and improve water quality. <br><br><a href="https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/DEP/Restoration/breewood.html" target="_blank" rel="">Click to Learn more</a>

The Godwin Marsh and Beltway East stormwater management wetlands were constructed to intercept, detain, and filter runoff from storm drain outfalls which previously discharged directly into Sligo Creek. <br><br><a href="http://www.fosc.org/PDF/GodwinMarsh.pdf" target="_blank" rel="">Click to Learn more</a>
