your storm water fees at work
February 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.
Progress Report:
Storm Water Services is currently working with Baker
Engineering to complete the Planning Report for this
project. We are finalizing our alternatives selection by
making choices for a preferred alternative for the individual
stream tributaries. This process should be complete in the
upcoming months.
Next Steps:
In an effort to determine the best alternative for the
individual stream tributaries, Storm Water Services
is coordinating with Mecklenburg County Parks and
Recreation. There is opportunity for stream enhancement
through the parks which lay within the project limits. As the
preferred alternative is chosen, Baker Engineering will move
forward with Design Plans for the stream improvements and
for water quality features within the project limits.

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.
