Healing the Watershed: Stream Restoration for Lake Health

Cutalong has committed $1.5 million to restore 3,000 linear feet of stream channels on the property. This restoration will generate the necessary nutrient credits required by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) to offset discharges from the second wastewater plant. The project will stabilize stream banks and beds, reducing erosion and preventing the release of nitrogen and phosphorus into the watershed. Construction began in November 2024 and is expected to be completed by Summer 2025.
