Project Summary
Timmons Group has completed design of the Warhill Offsite Stream Restoration to support the Ironbound Road Regional Stormwater BMP Project in James City County’s College Creek watershed. The Regional Stormwater BMP Project is designed as a much needed stormwater quantity and quality project for the watershed, but will require direct impacts to approximately 535 linear feet of degraded, headwater stream channel. The Warhill Project includes the restoration of over 700 linear feet of degraded channel and the creation of 125 square foot wetland as a mitigation offset of the permanent stream and wetland impacts necessary for the construction of the Regional Stormwater BMP. The direct construction of the BMP will yield stormwater pre treatment at the location of an actively degrading and polluted headwater stream channel while the stream restoration proposed at the Warhill Site will restore a significant portion of a degraded, unstable stream channel
Project Highlights
The Ironbound Road Regional BMP and the Warhill Offsite Stream Restoration represent a successful collaboration of contemplating project components which maximize the water quality benefits for James City County and the Lower James River Watershed
