Public Works and Environmental Services Alert:
Restoration efforts seek to raise the channel bottom to reconnect the channel with the floodplain and realign the channel, where necessary, to protect structures and restore stable slopes. Natural channel design will stabilize the stream bed, allow for riparian and wetland species to be planted, and improve water quality and conveyance capacity.
The subject project is in the Cameron Run Watershed Management Plan. The project is located within Fairfax County Park Authority’s Justice Park. The project scoping site visit was conducted on March 5, 2025. The stream channel is incised, eroded banks, and has potential for further bed and bank instability. This project is part of larger efforts to restore many of Fairfax County’s degraded streams for improving overall water quality within the County and the health of the Chesapeake Bay.
The project is currently in the pre-design phase.
