IREDELL COUNTY, NC
Project is a 14-acre site in Iredell County, near Mooresville, NC immediately adjacent to Lake Norman (a Duke Energy Reservoir). The project combines enhancement and restoration to provide 5.3 riverine wetland mitigation credits to the NCEEP and also includes several acres of preservation.
The site has seen many uses including goat grazing and sand dreading in Reeds Creek which runs along the northern border of the project. This small but valuable urban project will provide protected open space and buffer to Lake Norman and the Catawba River Lake System including Mountain Island Lake which provides drinking water for the Charlotte Metro Area.
Restoration activities will included re-establishing micro-topography for tree and shrub planting and utilizing minimal grading to facilitate more natural over bank flooding. Construction was complete in February of 2007.
