Sligo Creek Trail

In 2009, Montgomery County selected the Breewood Tributary for watershed restoration to meet MS4 Permit requirements.&nbsp; A comprehensive biological and water quality study shows that past development had degraded the tributary.&nbsp; Development dating back to the 1950's did not include stormwater management practices commonly used today.&nbsp;&nbsp; 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. &nbsp;<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>
