Questions from Middleton Homeowners Page <br /> <br />lI. <br /> <br />What happened to the $25,000 per year creek cleaning program in Cabarrus County <br />that used to be managed by the Soil and Water Conservation District? <br /> <br />The program's funding allocation was dropped. There are varying opinions on both the real <br />impact and technical validity of the program. The extensive creek system in Cabarms County <br />made it difficult to assign priorities and most importantly required property owner approval <br />prior to being implemented. Additionally, once a creek was cleaned, there was no <br />requirement for the property owner to maintain the area. <br /> <br />12. <br /> <br />What happened to the $25,000 committed to clean up the creeks in the Middleton <br />Subdivision area.* <br /> <br />No specific commitment has been identified. It is assumed that questions 11 and 12 are <br />related as far as outcome. <br /> <br />NOTE: <br /> <br />The Middleton Subdivision is impacted by Back Creek and Fuda Creek. The head waters of Back <br />Creek are in the University City area of Mecklenburg County. Both creeks are impacted by the <br />ability of Rocky River to absorb their flows. <br /> <br />Additionally, every where a roadbed is elevated, a damming effect is created on adjacent properties. <br />This damming effect is released through road culverts, bridges and drainage ditches. The design of <br />all these infrastructure elements does have significant impact on impounded areas during floo. d <br />conditions. <br /> <br />No single solution exists to deal with the issues raised. Any solution oriented approach pursued will <br />need to be evaluated based upon impacts on other elements of the system. Drainage basins are very <br />large interconnected environmental systems, dynamic in nature. <br /> <br /> <br />
