Notes and Sketches, etc
Original proposal 4 yrs old
Grant project proposed northeast of main road
3 properties- historic pre -1965 cattle & row crop, post timber
All south (Paul, George, Beverly) - proposed development
Difficult to plan for required future crossings; also storm water requirement/design (BMPs)
- modeling, high volume but don't want to oversize, sediment routing
City planning future development and greenway design - Cornelius
North property (Jack) high density development in progress - discussing with Jack about adding reach to project
Purchased floodplain areas on 3 properties
Active beaver? 1 dam present at top of wetland
Public notice near 2 years old; draft mit plan expected in August; possible modification to add reach; re -notice likely;
application of 2016 guidance;
Greenway will be paved; city/development proposed within easement try relocate to outside easement
Site Data - 2 yrs gwg, bugs, bank pins
Soils - George expects 8-10%, possibly a few areas 12%
R5 - floodplain connected, fairly stable but sediment ladened, possible habitat enhancement; additional requirements
for bed form and sediment
Keep canopy - soft construction, limit footprint
R3- strong flow; incised; not in natural valley position; parallels R6 (R5) look at topo to determine if reaches should be
combined
Beaver pond - active, obl veg, resprouts
Invasives- privet, multiflora, autumn olive, kudzu , lespedeza
Future site conditions- once developed limited sediment inputs, but heavy volume storm flows
Wrap-up - request for meeting minutes and map; re -public notice of prospectus?; approach - keep upper beaver pond
as -is; merge reaches & remove 6B & 6A; call out major headcuts & restoration va enhancement; soil investigation;
phase additional reaches; challenges & value in working in a development watershed
IRT- possibly date (expiration) initial evaluation approval letter
