Crabtree Creek Site 5A Draft Environmental Assessment

NRCS in North Carolina with assistance from local watershed sponsors, has completed a draft watershed plan supplement and Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed rehabilitation of Floodwater Retarding Structure (FRS) No. 5A of the Crabtree Creek Watershed, in North Carolina.  The Crabtree Creek Watershed is located within the Neuse River Basin.  Sponsoring local organizations for the project are:  
 

Wake Soil & Water Conservation District, 
Durham Soil & Water Conservation District 
City of Raleigh.  
 

The purpose of this project is to maintain the present level of flood control benefits and comply with current performance and safety standards.  There is a need to protect downstream properties and infrastructures as well as reduce the risk of potential loss of life. We are requesting that you review this project in accordance with section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Protection Policy Act of 1969 (Public Law 91-190).
