Design

The consultant completed the design for the project and they were reviewed by stormwater staff and the public.

Public Meetings & Feedback

February 2022 Public Meeting

We discussed the most recent design plans with the general public and held individual property owner meetings.

Previous Meeting

There was a public meeting in May 2021. A community survey also was available to provide feedback.  The consultant and staff are now reviewing survey results as they continue to work on the design.

History

This project is located along the western drainage basin to the North Ridge Country Club Lake, which is in the Perry Creek watershed.

 A history of flooding events in the area resulted in public meetings in April and June 2006, which initiated this stormwater project. An engineering study was completed in December 2006, which recommended improvements to the existing storm drainage systems at Tanbark Way, two locations on Harps Mill Road, and the system crossings at Grist Mill Road.

Improvements

Improvements will be made in this area where the stream channel is restricted and where there is severe erosion. The downstream channel also will be repaired to address flooding and stream erosion concerns along this portion of the stream.

The project may also include water quality improvements to meet regulatory requirements and to address water quality concerns within the Perry Creek watershed.
