If you have a concern about floodplains or Resource Protection Areas (as defined by the county’s Chesapeake Bay Preservation Ordinance), contact the Special Projects Branch of the Department of Public Works and Environmental Services at 703-324-1700, TTY 711. If you have questions about other environmental constraints (wetlands, Environmental Quality Corridors), or general questions about whether or not there might be environmental constraints on a property, contact the Environment and Development Review Branch of the Department of Planning and Zoning, 703-324-1380, TTY 711.
