Stream Bank Repair Summary - Greenway Adjacent to 2900
Dahlgreen Drive
INTRODUCTION
This report is provided as a supplement to the Pre-Construction Notification
Application for the above-referenced project. The City has been contacted by the owner
of the residence at 2900 Dahlgreen Drive who has advised that the stream bank erosion
on the unnamed tributary of Simms Branch is threatening to damage the fence located at
the rear of this site. The residence and structural improvements are existing facilities
and continued stream bank erosion will impact the fence and potentially destroy it.
PROJECT SCOPE
An unnamed tributary of Simms Branch runs through the Durant Trace Subdivision in
nosh Raleigh. A greenway property is located along the tributary and buffers the
residences from the stream. A constructed asphalt greenway trail is located along this
tributary. Immediately behind 2900 Dahlgreen Drive, stream bank erosion is occurring.
On November 5, 2002, a site inspection was conducted by staff of the Raleigh Parks
and Rcreation Department to determine the severity of the erosion and reported
potential impacts of this erosion. The enclosed digital photographs (Figures 1 and 2)
indicate the extent of the findings of the site inspection.
The following describes the area of stream bank stabilization:
DESCRIPTION PROBLEM
30 Linear Feet of Erosion along the left bank of the stream (looking upstream)
stream channel is encroaching upon the residential property and fence on the
left. At the bend in the stream minor undercutting is
occurring which will result in future degradation of this
stream bank unless abated. The bank of the stream at this
location is approximately 12-14" deep.
OFFICES H 222 WEST HARGETT STREET H POST OFFICE BOX 590 H RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27602
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The City of Raleigh proposes to stabilize the channel by reinforcing the left (facing
upstream) side slope of the channel with filter fabric and riprap for a length of
approximately 30 feet. The side slope will be excavated to a slope of 2H: IV and the
bottom of the stream will be removed in order to place the filter fabric and riprap. The
vertical section of the bank ranges from approximately 12" to 16". The USGS Wake
Forest 7.5-Minute Quadrangle Map dated 1993 shows this stream as an intermittent
stream at this location. Water has been observed during each of several site visits to this
location.
As shown in Figures 1 & 2, the left bank of the stream is migrating toward an existing
fence located at 2900 Dahlgreen Drive. The stream is narrow and work will be
performed from the opposite bank. No equipment will enter the stream channel. There
is existing vegetation up stream and down stream from this immediate area, which is to
remain in place to prevent any additional bank erosion. The placement of filter fabric
and rip rap on the left side of the stream will stabilize the side slope of the channel from
any further erosion. A vicinity map and more detailed site maps are attached. Figure 3
shows a typical repair,section.
