Edwards Branch Phase III
storm drainage improvement project
YOUR STORM WATER FEES AT WORK
January 2009
Background/History of the Project:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services and
consulting engineers CH2M Hill have completed the
Planning Phase of the Edwards Branch Phase III Storm
Drainage Improvement Project.
Current Status and Next Steps:
Storm Water Services and CH2M Hill continue to move
forward in the Design Phase of the Edwards Branch Phase
III project areas. During the design phase, construction
drawings are developed for the recommended
improvements. The improvements that will be designed
for this project include stream restoration, stream
preservation with buffer and/or stream enhancements,
and BMPs* in/near Winterfield Tributary and Evergreen
Cemetery. It is anticipated that preliminary construction
drawings will be reviewed by the City and shared with the
neighborhood this spring.

*BMP opportunities: Best Management Practices include
ponds, constructed wetlands and rain gardens that are used
by themselves or in combination to reduce storm water
pollution and improve our water quality.
It is that time of year when a chill fills
the air and snow begins to fall.
Sometimes, instead of snow, we
get ICE. Next time the weather
turns bad and your sidewalk is
slick, spread sand to get a grip on
that slippery walk.
If bad weather strikes the area
causing limbs and brush to
fall, residents are encouraged
to prepare debris to normal
collection guidelines (limbs no
longer than 5 feet in length
and no wider than 4 inches in
diameter). The storm debris
should be taken to curbside. Do
not place debris in storm drains,
gutters or on creek banks.
