Explanation
* Long Creek is eroding and has changed its alignment since the sewer line was installed in 2007. The City needs to perform stream restoration in order to protect the 54-inch sewer line. If the sewer line and easement area are not stabilized the stream could undermine the sewer line and cause a major spill.
* The current flow on the 54-inch Long Creek outfall is four million gallons per day average and up to seven million gallons per day maximum.
* This project will provide survey, erosion control, grading, construction materials, and work necessary to perform the restoration of the Long Creek stream banks. The project limits are from the intersection of Long Creek and Belmeade Drive to a point approximately one mile South down Long Creek.
* On June 9, 2017, the City issued an Invitation to Bid for Long Creek Stream Restoration; five bids were received from interested service providers.
* North State Environmental, Inc. was selected as the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.
* The project is anticipated to be complete by December 2018.
