Public Input Sought – Crabtree Creek Watershed Structure No. 3

The Wake County government, and the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service of North Carolina (NRCS) are beginning the planning process to develop a Supplemental Watershed Plan and Environmental Assessment for the rehabilitation needs of Crabtree Creek Watershed Structure No. 3 (Site No. 3), also known as Bond Lake Dam. The location of Site No. 3 is within Fred G. Bond Metro Park approximately 2½ miles west of Cary, North Carolina.

This project is part of the Small Watershed Rehabilitation Amendments of 2000 (Section 313, PL 106-472).  This legislation authorized the NRCS to work with local community leaders and eligible watershed sponsors to rehabilitate aging watershed dams built under Public Law 78-534, Public Law 83-566, and the Pilot Watershed programs. For Site No. 3, the Wake County government is the local sponsor, working alongside the North Carolina NRCS.
