Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This project directly restores 11.6 acres of salt marsh functions and values lost for nearly 100 years because of historic filling. It also protects and enhances the natural movement of water of the connected 70-acre Meadow Shores Marsh by enhancing the inlet through which the tidal waters that sustain these marshes flow, and increasing tidal flushing to the existing marsh.


This project reduces the risk of flooding along the Patapsco River in Catonsville, Maryland. Removal of the Bloede Dam restores herring, eel and American shad access to 9 mainstem miles (52 miles including tributaries) of upstream, historic spawning habitat. Two of four dams on this river have already been removed. This project also accommodates protection of a sewer pipe that runs along the Patapsco River.
