Fairest Dream Lane Stormwater Repairs to Begin

The project will improve the retention stormwater management pond, replace the existing riser structure and more.

From Howard County MD: A Howard County construction project to improve a retention stormwater management pond in the vicinity of 6430 Fairest Dream Lane in Columbia is expected to begin on or about Monday, Jan. 23. The project will replace the existing riser structure and principal spillway, add a forebay to trap sediment, deepen the pond to provide water quality, and provide stabilization to the outfall and downstream receiving stream through the use of stone structures, bank protection and riparian plantings. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by the end of May 2017.

The project is not expected to impact the flow of traffic. Signs will be posted near the site to advise motorists and pedestrians of the construction. However, the walking path located between 6428 and 6432 Fairest Dream Lane and the walking path around the stormwater management pond will be closed during construction.

For questions or concerns about Capital Project D-1159, contact Lisa Brightwell, Public Works Customer Service, at 410-313-3440 or email publicworks@howardcountymd.gov.
