After months of construction, the Valley Green stormwater mitigation and sediment reduction project is nearing completion! This restoration project will improve water quality in Wissahickon Creek by helping to meet the EPA’s Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements for sedimentation, improving parking conditions, and restoring native vegetation to the area.

Upon completion, the project will stabilize 350 feet of stream adjacent to the Valley Green Inn parking area through the installation of rock steps designed to disperse high energy flows of stormwater.

This project was made possible by collaboration between the Friends of the Wissahickon, Philadelphia Parks and Recreation and the Philadelphia Water Department.
