Resiliency 

Waterways:

Where possible, MDTA has installed clear span bridges over waterways and 100-year floodplains. The replacement bridge over the Big Gunpowder River is a clear span bridge. The existing piers within the waterway are being removed as part of the bridge replacement project so that the flow of the Big Gunpowder River is unobstructed. 

Flood Attenuation:

MDTA constructed a flood attenuation facility at Old Joppa Road. The intent of creating this facility is to reduce downstream discharges on an unnamed tributary to the Little Gunpowder Falls, thereby reducing the 100-year water surface elevations for privately owned and improved properties downstream of I-95 along this tributary.

Oversized Culverts:

Throughout Harford County, culverts were sized to accommodate discharges associated with the ultimate build-out condition of the surrounding land uses. While this approach entails over-design and more up-front expenditures, it provides assurance to the local government that planned developments in the vicinity of the I-95 corridor will not have to incur additional costs associated with providing quantity control of stormwater runoff.

Plastic Free July

Plastic Free July is a global movement that encourages individuals and organizations to reduce their reliance on single-use plastics and adopt more sustainable habits. The initiative raises awareness about the environmental impacts of plastic waste and highlights practical ways to reduce consumption, protect natural resources, and support a cleaner future.

Potomac Waterway

At MDOT, Plastic Free July aligns with the department’s commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability. Small changes in daily habits can collectively make a significant impact, helping to reduce waste and support ongoing steps to create a more sustainable transportation system and workplace.

Employees can support Plastic Free July by reducing their use of single-use plastics, choosing reusable alternatives, and properly recycling materials when possible. From bringing a reusable water bottle to using reusable shopping bags, every action contributes to a healthier environment and a more sustainable future.
