Frederick Officials Working To Combat Additional Erosion

FREDERICK, Md. (WJZ) — In the City of Frederick, parks are deliberately located in floodplains. Some incorporate stormwater management to channel the flow of water. But in May, streams that run through parks became overwhelmed by heavy runoff.
Record rains started it, but according to Ginny Brace with Friends of Waterford Park, “The water rises so fast because of all the blacktop and all the development that has gone on for the last 50 years upstream.”
Rock Creek rose that way.
