- Address illicit sewage
discharge
- Plant riparian buffers
where veg is thin.
- Bioswales!
- Disconnect man-made
ditches that direct runoff to the creek
- Construct a
bioretention or wetland near North Cary Park
SLIDE 13
Suggested projects Town of Cary response Address illicit sewage discharge 2,900 ft. of sewer and 50 manholes along Black Creek sewer system rehabbed in 2014 Plant riparian buffers where veg is thin Agree Bioswales to manage stormwater Town standards require grassed swales on high side of greenway to collect runoff, drained to culvert crossings under trail Disconnect man-made ditches that direct runoff to the creek Culverts will end in riprap pads or plunge pools to disperse- sheet flow as possible Construct a bioretention or wetland near North Cary Park Looking to incorporate wetland near
