The City of Gaithersburg’s Headwaters Drainage Study survey is now complete and responses have been analyzed. View the survey response data here. With several point of interest areas, the consultant will begin field assessment data collection this week and conclude mid-November. Following field assessment data collection, the City and Consultant plan to schedule a Community Meeting sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The City will send meeting notifications via postcards, the inGaithersburg Weekly eNewsletter, social media and this project page when a specific date is confirmed.
The objective of the Headwaters Drainage Study project is to conduct a drainage study of the headwaters of the Muddy Branch, Lower Seneca Creek, and the Middle Seneca Creek watersheds to identify, evaluate, and prioritize opportunities for improving neighborhood level stormwater management (SWM) systems. The study will seek to:
- Evaluate existing conditions and identify “pinch points” in the drainage system;
- Address drainage complaints received from the community;
- Foster stakeholder engagement through community outreach efforts; and
- Inform future SWM system repairs and City capital improvement projects for greater climate resilience.
