https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/publicworks/wastewater/gunston-cove Gunston Cove is an embayment of the tidal freshwater Potomac River located in Fairfax County, Virginia about 12 miles (20 km) downstream of the I-95/I-495 Woodrow Wilson Bridge. The Cove receives treated wastewater from the Noman M. Cole, Jr. Pollution Control Plant (NCPCP) and inflow from Pohick and Accotink Creeks which drain much of central and southern Fairfax County.

In short, the strong wastewater management efforts of the County and the robust monitoring program, demonstrates how effective water quality improvements can promote natural aquatic ecosystem restoration.
