SWCC
Why the SWCC Committee was formed:
The Baltimore County Department of Environmental Protection and Sustainability issued the final Small Watershed Action Plan (SWAP) Report for our area June, 2017. There are over 20 such plans in the County to address this important resource. Each small watershed feeds into a larger watershed, rivers and then the Chesapeake Bay. So what happens within each small watershed, even your property effects the health and vitality of all water resources and their environment. Which in turn effects our quality of life.
