29 Project Summary Currently over 7% (~5+ miles) of stream reaches restored/enhanced in McDowell Creek Watershed. Improved flooding conditions % sediment load reduction at the cove. Stream restoration very cost effective for pollutant/sediment reduction 3 times cheaper to remove a pound of sediment through stream restoration than through most cost effective BMP Rocky River Watershed Retrofit and Restoration Plan Master Plan (Mecklenburg County) Takeaways Planning is important. Project selection/prioritization and securing funding. Detailed constraints research before, during, and after design Reach changes can make catchment scale impacts Large scale projects are effective Momentum is helping to win over private property/hoas and key community stakeholders Water quality project should be linked with other complimentary capital projects (flood control, parks and greenways, etc.) 29
