woodchips, the restored stream now has a cascading effect that slows down rain water. At each level,
the water is filtered through soil to remove sediment and impurities.
“I think we hit it out of the park” with the stream, said Kranz. In addition to cleaning stormwater and reducing erosion, Kranz considers the restored stream attractive to many
of the Zoo’s visitors. “It’s my hope that the public finds it interesting to look at,” he said and that the frogs, toads, turtles and other creatures that frequent the Zoo will enjoy the improved habitat.
We are very
excited to partner with the Zoo. We hope that these projects will help educate the local community about the importance of keeping our waterways clean.”
— Bill Richardson, MDOT MPA’s Manager of Safety, Environment and Risk Management
Besides, “anything we can do to take the load off the Jones Falls and the Port is good,” Kranz added.
The undertaking is not only the Port’s first partnership with the Zoo, but also its first stream restoration, said Bill Richardson, MDOT MPA’s Manager of Safety, Environment and Risk Management. “We are very excited to partner with the Zoo. We hope that these projects will help educate the local community about the importance of keeping our waterways clean,” he said.
To help with that, each project will have a marker with a graphic description of how the stormwater measures work and why they are important. “MDOT MPA is committed to growing the Port sustainably. That means taking responsibility for clean water, air and land,” Richardson said. 􏰀
