RIPERIAN BUFFER AND WETLAND HABITAT PROTECTION PROJECT CHEASAPEAKE BAY, MARYLAND

The primary purpose of this proposed Cooperative Agreement (“Agreement”) is to provide services to perform a preliminary engineering evaluation and, at the option of the Navy, design and construction of site restoration and shoreline stabilization at NRL Chesapeake Bay Detachment, Calvert County, Maryland. The intent of these efforts is to restore beach access due to storm-damage to the existing access road and mitigate shoreline erosion, which may adversely affect both the security road and the existing Navy range monitoring station. The shoreline stabilization will support military operational requirements at NRL Chesapeake Bay Detachment and benefit efforts to improve water quality of the Chesapeake Bay.
