*Project Approved to Improve Water Quality and Wildlife Habitat Conditions
at Upper Longview Lake*****
The Raleigh City Council, on May 1, awarded the bid of $2,134,534 from
Backwater Environmental, Division of the Osborne Company for the Upper
Longview Lake Improvement Project.
The project area is adjacent to ****Bertie Drive****, behind ****Enloe** **High
School**** and the tributary along ****Locke Lane****. The purpose of the
project is to improve water quality and wildlife habitat in the ****Upper**
**Longview** **Branch** **Lake**** through a restoration of approximately
3500 linear feet of creek channel enhancement and 2.7 acres of lake and
wetland improvements.
The creek work will involve stabilization of the banks and channels to
reduce sediment loads caused by erosion and enhance the available cover for
wildlife. The wetland/lake improvements will increase the pollutant removal
capacity through restoration of the water volume and plantings in that
area.
The benefits of the project include reducing pollutant loads in the
Crabtree Creek watershed, increase structural stability to the adjacent
infrastructure, and act as an educational and recreational amenity to the
school and surrounding community.
The **Upper** **Longview** **Lake** project is included in the City of
****Raleigh
Lake Preservation Program****. Funding for the project has been approved
and is provided by a 0 percent interest loan from the Clean Water State
Revolving Fund in the amount of $2 million. The remainder of the project
costs, $134,534, will be funded through the City of ****Raleigh Stormwater
Utility Fund****. ****
