Howard County, MD PLUS

The sediment pond located behind the Ilchester Hills community needs to be cleaned out. In addition, the adjacent overflow pond needs to be cleaned out as well. There is a large area of weeds growing in and around both ponds.

Dear Sir, The water is flowing, however, my concern is that the next heavy rain will float debris to the mouth of the opening. There is much grass, leaves, branches, and logs right next to the opening. I suggest a truck be sent down the stream from Cardinal Forest Circle and a small tractor pick-up the debris and load it on the truck for disposal. This correction should be adequate until the site is upgraded in 2016. Thank you.

Storm sewer in cul de sac empties into steam at back of property. In the easement between this address and 4036 about three quarters on the way to the stream exists a manhole cover that blows off when it rains and the runoff erodes some of the land on its way to find stream. It appears there is some blockage between this and the steam. This manhole is very near some play ground equipment and we worry for the kids safety.

Resident says the drainage ditch and curb along her house overflow every time it rains.

at rear of property, county installed SW drain in place for 16+ years is eroding surrounding ground and not properly functioning

Our street was recently paved. Unfortunately on our side of Nightsong Lane the pavers filled in the gutters that run along the edge of the street, making it more likely that during a storm the water will over flow the street and onto private property, flooding the homes here. We need this fixed before flooding occurs. Please reply soonest with the steps you intend to take to resolve and specify the timeframe.

County installed a new curb that now directs roadway drainage into my front yard. Before and After pictures attached. Before the new curb was installed I never had a problem. The new curb does not drain properly and is damaging my property with water and debris being discharged directly into my yard.

Waterflow management was placed by the county last year at the boundary between residence and Ho Co owned property on Carroll Mill.. Rocks are sinking into ground, not impeding waterflow, and creating a ditch onto the private property.
