Public Works and Environmental Services Alert:
Project BackgroundThis project was identified when management from an adjacent property expressed concerns to the county about a steep and unstable streambank from erosive stream conditions. In November 2019, staff from the Stormwater Planning Division initiated the design of the project.
Downstream and south of the Little River Turnpike Service Road, Turkeycock Creek is continuing to erode the eastern streambank adjacent to the Brookside Office Park Complex. This project will address the unvegetated, nearly vertical bank with the installation of a soldier pile and lagging retaining wall to prevent further erosion. The project also includes approximately 300 linear feet of stream restoration.
The project design has been completed and construction is anticipated to begin in September/October 2023.
Contractors and staff may be at the project site on foot and wearing high-visibility clothing. This section will be updated once the project is closer to construction.
Stormwater projects are funded through the county Stormwater Service District.
