Public Works and Environmental Services Alert:
The project will stabilize approximately 1500 linear feet of channel and additional outfalls. The stream and outfalls are disconnected from the floodplain by vertical banks averaging 3.5 feet high, with some banks reaching 5+ feet. The erosion has caused the closure of a community footpath through the forest, as well as exposing a residential lateral connection to the sanitary sewer. Continued erosion will increase the likelihood of damage that could result in a sewage leak.
Work north of Cotton Farm Rd will reconnect the channel to the floodplain, protect the exposed sanitary sewer laterals, and stabilize the eroded slopes. Channel design will stabilize the stream bed, allow for riparian and native species to be planted, and improve water quality and conveyance capacity. Some work may occur south of Cotton Farm Rd to protect a sanitary sewer line encasement and stabilize the area around the outfall pipe.
Project is located just west of Burke Station Road, with access from Cotton Farm Rd. Site is located on HOA owned parcels, as well as some private lots on Burke Station Rd.
