The Town of Huntersville Engineering & Public Works, in partnership with Mecklenburg County Storm Water Services, is proposing a stream and water quality enhancement project along Torrence Creek within The Park between Statesville Road and Reese Boulevard. The project will restore approximately 5,830 feet of the most damaged section of stream. The project is intended to improve aquatic habitat and water quality; and enhance and restore the natural and beneficial functions of the stream corridor within the park.
Having been awarded a NC Section 319 NPS Grant, the Engineering & Public Works Department is requesting the Board authorize the adoption of the Interlocal Agreement for Torrence Creek Stream Restoration Project Funding.
The grant of $59,961 requires matching Town funds in the amount of $81,905 for a maximum Town cost of $141,866. Sufficient Huntersville Storm Water funds have been budgeted in FY16 and are proposed to be budgeted in FY17.
The County portion of the project, including their CWMTF grant and matching funds is $1,676,264.
