BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Mecklenburg County’s Storm Water Services and Asset & Facility Management are currently constructing the Little Sugar Creek Stream Restoration and Greenway project from Archdale Drive to I-485. Construction is scheduled for completion in spring 2019. The stream restoration project was funded with Storm Water Services fees and a NC Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) grant. The Board Action for the CWMTF grant submittal was approved on February 3, 2015.
The NC CWMTF grant requires the restoration area to be permanently protected with a conservation declaration. The permanently protected areas vary from approximately 30 ft. to 50 ft. from the top of the stream’s bank for each parcel. The total easement area will be approximately 18 acres along Little Sugar Creek and only includes the areas of the project that were improved using NC CWMTF’s grant funds.
