your storm water fees at work
June 2008
Background/History of the Project:
In an effort to improve water quality in your neighborhood,
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services (Storm
Water Services), along with consulting engineers, Baker
Engineering, are looking for opportunities to restore or
enhance the stream channels that comprise the Upper
Stoney Creek Stream Restoration Project.
Current Status:
Storm Water Services has finished the planning phase of the
project. The next step is the completion of the preliminary
design plans. In an effort to facilitate the acceptance of the
design by property owners within the project limits, Baker
Engineering has begun meeting individually with property
owners. The intent is to facilitate discussions of potential
impacts of the proposed design within requested easement
locations. This is an opportunity for property owners to
provide their input regarding preferences.
Next Steps:
•
Complete the preliminary design plans
•
Finalize easement documents
•
Conclude the design phase
•
Obtain construction permits
•
Begin construction

Hurricane Season is Upon Us!
Stay safe during storms
Hurricane season began June 1st. Nearly all
experts are predicting more named storms than
usual.
In Charlotte-Mecklenburg, tropical storms often
bring storm winds and flooding downpours. In the
past 30 years, more than half of the US deaths
associated with hurricanes were due to inland
flooding.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg flood risks are increasing
because of changing weather patterns and because
of increased land development.
