Charlotte, NC and surrounding Mecklenburg County represent a handful of regions across the country that have committed to restoring neglected and degraded urban streams through a mix of strategies that includes reintroducing natural meanders, recreating floodplains and restoring natural riparian zones.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72740c0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"72740c0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-117420a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"117420a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In recent years, a number of municipalities across the nation are restoring channelized, altered, and polluted urban waterways in the interests of improving water quality, providing additional recreational opportunities, and creating valuable green space within the community.<\/p><p>This particular project segment is a continuation of the Cross Charlotte Trail, which is part of a larger network of greenways that crosses 15 counties and two states. This project includes approximately 3.5 miles of new greenway and approximately 1 mile of stream restoration or bank stabilization. Combined with other regional restoration efforts, the Little Sugar Creek will provide a recreational corridor that connects to nearby parks and historic areas, plentiful educational opportunities, and habitat for local wildlife. Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation, Mecklenburg County Storm Water Services, and Mecklenburg County Asset and Facility management are partnering in this initiative to extend the Little Sugar Creek greenway to the South Carolina state line.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37b63b8f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"37b63b8f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6876de50 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6876de50\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0057a70 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0057a70\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Developing a Hydraulic Model<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-297afa75 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"297afa75\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Engineer Jason Claudio-Diaz of Kimley-Horn described some of the goals for the segment of the Lower Little Sugar Creek that flows towards the South Carolina border. The project site, which is located near a suburban area of Pineville, North Carolina, consists of steep slopes and irregular terrain. The hydraulic analysis for the river corridor needed to factor in several pedestrian bridges and a couple thousand feet of stream bank that was prone to erosion. According to Claudio-Diaz, this was one of the primary challenges of the project.<\/p><p><em>\u201cWe needed to document the existing erosive areas and predict other areas where we would need to do stream bank stabilization.\u201d<\/em><\/p><p><strong>Jason Claudio-Diaz, P.E., CFM<\/strong><\/p><p>Unlike the traditional USACE HEC-RAS software which Kimley-Horn had used in the past, the use of GeoHECRAS\u2019 surface generation tools on this large project streamlined the model development process.
