Site work for a water / sewer project in Herndon, Virginia. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

The Town has begun a stream restoration program to address the erosion and damage to the streams with the goal of restoring the streams to their natural condition and improving environmental integrity. The program addresses a regional mandate to improve the Chesapeake Bay with reduction to the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) of nutrients. TMDL targets have been set for the jurisdictions by Virginia DEQ. Stream restoration projects produce the greatest reduction of TMDLs when compared to similar projects. The first stream restoration project, Sugarland Run South Stream Restoration, will start construction in FY23 and complete in FY24. In FY24, the Town will perform a study to update the condition assessment for all public streams. The condition assessment will identify the next highest priority reach of stream to rehabilitate. The goal is to design a new section of stream each fiscal year with the corresponding construction occurring the following fiscal year. Such that, a design and construction will occur each fiscal year until all sections of degraded stream have been restored. The project is include in the City's 2024-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
