Negative Declaration of Environmental Effects of Leith Creek Scotland County, North Carolina, Flood Control Project.

Abstract

The most appropriate plan of improvement in the Leith Creek Basin is a combination structural and nonstructural plan. The structural measures consist of cleaning and widening the existing channel for a total distance of 1.97 miles, replacing two highway bridges and relocating two water mains and one sewer line. Nonstructural measures consist of passage, by the local sponsor, of regulatory measures to control the residual flood plain. The concept of designated floodways is recommended. Recreational facilities in the form of a linear greenway with bike trail and picnic tables are also included as part of the recommended plan. The selected plan will provide net economic and environmental improvements to the area. The proposed action will have no significant adverse effect on the environment and is not environmentally controversial.
