Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services has restored the path and banks of Irwin Creek in the Clanton Park neighborhood.
The project, in partnership with the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program, restored about 1,400 linear feet of Irwin Creek at Whitehurst Road. To help remove some pollutants from storm water runoff, a floodplain bench and wetland were constructed near the restored stream channel. | Objectives:
- Protect and improve water quality
- Restore natural stream pattern
- Stabilize stream banks
- Improve aquatic habitat
- Construct a wetland
- Enhance natural floodplain benefits
