Description: This
project will provide
for the planning, design and construction of a new North
County
Depot for the Departments of Transportation and General Services. The
facility will serve as a staging, operations and maintenance center and
will accommodate the planned future growth of the County's transit
fleet. Phase 1 of the new North County facility (which is funded) will
accommodate 120 new buses, provide for their maintenance, and house the
departments' operational and administrative staff. Phase 2 of the
facility (which is funded) will accommodate 250 buses and up to 90
Highway Maintenance vehicles. The facility will complement the existing
County maintenance facilities at Brookville in Silver Spring and Crabbs
Branch Way in Rockville. Environmental Design: Montgomery
County's proposed North County Maintenance Depot is situated on
approximately 128 acres. Because the site is located within a Special
Protection Area and the project must obtain LEED Silver certification,
environmental sensitivity and storm water management considerations are
influencing every aspect of the project design. Environmental services
for the project include compliance with the Maryland Forest
Conservation Act, wetland delineations, local, State and Federal
permitting, and a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment. Funding:
Project Status: The
Montgomery County Council has approved the Maryland - National Capital
Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) staff
recommendations to
defer action on water and sewer category changes for Stage
4 of the development in
Clarksburg area, pending a master plan amendment that provides adequate
protection for Ten Mile Creek. According to the M-NCPPC
recommendations, the Department of General Services (DGS) should
explore alternative sites outside of the Clarksburg Special
Protection Area (SPA) for the North County Maintenance Depot project.
The
site selection process
has begun and will be conducted by the Site Selection Committee which
is chaired by the Upper County Regional Service Center (UCRSC) Director
and consists of representatives from the community, County user
agencies
and resource staff. The committee has met to start the process and
establish site evaluation criteria. Further developments in the site
selection process for the North County Maintenance Depot project will
be posted on this site as it progresses.
Site selection process is ongoing. First Site visit tour is scheduled for January 23, 2010. Due to CIP budget constraints, the project will be deferred to FY 17.  Reports:
