There are hundreds of stormwater control structures in St. Mary's County that were built to protect creeks and streams from the runoff from housing developments. The Potomac River Association commissioned a study of some of these structures earlier this year. Almost all of them were neglected and failing to do what they were built to do. The PRA is sponsoring a one day, three hour workshop to teach citizens how to evaluate the performance of stormwater control structures. We will use their reports to work with the county to restore these structures to their intended function. The workshop will be held April 26 and is free. There is no more important aspect to environmental protection in Southern Maryland than controlling runoff from land to water.

Nearly one quarter of St. Mary's County lies in the St. Mary's River watershed. The river receives drainage from over 100 miles of streams and flows into the Potomac River at St. George's Island. Our trip will start in Great Mills at the County canoe launch and we will paddle for about 5 miles downstream to St. Mary's College of Maryland at Historic St. Mary's City where we will have a picnic lunch (provided). Joining us will be Bob Lewis, the Executive Director of the St. Mary's River Watershed Association to provide information about the river and preservation efforts there. Start: 08:00
