The State of Our Streams: 2010 A Report on Water Quality to the Citizens of Durham The State of Our Streams: 2010 Stormwater Services is making lots of changes because of new State requirements, like the recently adopted Falls and Jordan Lake Rules. Help Stop Stormwater Pollution! Rules directed at reducing the amount of algae in Call 560-SWIM to report anything in creeks or Falls Lake were adopted by the State in storm drains that is not water! November 2010. They became effective in January 2011. Jordan Lake rules have been in place since 2009. Because of these rules, new shopping centers, office buildings, neighborhoods, and other construction will have to take more nutrients out of stormwater that runs off their property. This way stormwater from hard surfaces such as driveways, parking lots, and roof tops continues to be treated far into the future. This will affect whoever has to maintain the stormwater treatment controls, such as homeowners associations and business property managers. The new stormwater rules cover not only new buildings, but also land that is already developed.

These are tested for biochemical oxygen demand, nutrients known as illicit discharges, and are a major (nitrogen/phosphorus), bacteria, clarity, and source of pollution in urban areas. Examples of metals. These tests allow City and State staff to illicit discharges include: pouring oil into storm determine potential risks to people, drinking drains, disposing of pet wastes in storm drains, water supplies, and wildlife. and leaking or overflowing sanitary sewer pipes.

Therefore, it is essential chemical test results are available. that residents become involved and provide extra eyes, ears, and noses to help find and get rid of The WQI can be thought of as a school test grade, sources of pollution. Call 560-SWIM to report numbers close to 100 are an “A” and numbers water pollution. less than 60 are an “F”. Looking at this grade from year to year can show how water quality is changing in area streams. All urban streams usually fail to meet at least one federal or state water quality standard. However, the water quality index allows residents and Stormwater Services to locate areas with the most serious pollution issues. These areas can be targeted for improvement plans or investigations to find pollution sources. In 2010, Stormwater Services Staff tested water quality at 48 spots in local streams.

  • State of Our Streams 2006 Report Prepared by the City of Durham Stormwater Services Division
    A Report on Water Quality to the Citizens of Durham The State of Our Streams: 2006 Water quality, from the stream to the tap, affects us all. We depend on clean surface water (streams and lakes) for many uses such as drinking, recreating, and supporting aquatic life. Water flows from creeks, streams and rivers in Durham to local water supply reservoirs, including Falls Lake, Jordan Lake, Lake Michie and the Little River Reservoir. City and State parks are located along several waterways, and each year the Festival on the Eno grows larger. Surface water resources are important to the City of Durham, past, present and future. Northeast Creek Recognizing that surface waters are a finite resource that require constant protection, How is water quality? the Clean Water Act was passed in 1970. Additional programs have since been Water quality in the City of Durham ranges adopted at the federal level that require from Good to Poor depending upon where cities, and some counties, to develop you are in the city and depending upon how comprehensive stormwater management you judge water quality. One way to judge programs to protect and restore water water quality is by using the North Carolina quality in all surface waters. Stormwater Water Quality Standards. These standards runoff from urban and suburban areas of are independent of the land use and are cities has been identified as a primary cause intended to provide a baseline water quality of the degradation of streams, lakes, level.

Blunt IV INTRODUCTION From time to time, one “discovers” sources of significant historical value which cannot be utilized in an efficient matter. Such is the case with the set of more than 2,000 maps in the office the Wake County Register of Deeds donated by C.L. Mann after his death in 1961. The greatest majority of these maps encompass the City of Raleigh and Wake County from the 1890’s to 1960. There are a surprising number of maps ranging from the mountains to the coast and in neighboring localities. Below is a photograph that appeared in the 1924 Agromeck (North Carolina State Yearbook) and shows Professor C.L. Mann (about 46 years of age). Behind him is the map cabinet which he donated to Wake County. It contains over 2,000 maps accumulated during this long career. I would like to thank the office of the Register of Deeds of Wake County for allowing me full access to these records, especially Delia Little and her management.

The algae eventually died off with no interference from park officials. Falls Lake was in the newspaper regularly starting in May. Some headlines focused on testing for bacteria at lake beaches while others focused on the politics of Falls Lake nutrient management rules. A shorter series of articles dealing with bacteria at Falls and Jordan lake beaches highlighted the inconsistent testing at these recreation areas. Articles describing Falls Lake included results of the NC Division of Water Quality’s study of Falls Lake from 2005 through 2007, efforts to put strategies and laws into place to meet state standards, and potential costs to local governments in order to meet the state standards.

New Hope Road Raleigh, NC 27610 Crabtree Jones Archaeological Investigation MANAGEMENT SUMMARY This report presents the findings of an archaeological investigation of the Nathaniel “Crabtree” Jones property in Wake County, North Carolina. This investigation was conducted by Environmental Services, Inc., (ESI) of Raleigh, North Carolina, at the request of Preservation North Carolina (PNC). Although not a compliance-driven project, all fieldwork was designed to comply with guidelines established by the Office of the Secretary of the Interior of the United States and in consultation with the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) Office of State Archaeology (OSA). The Crabtree Jones House (ca.1795) is a Raleigh Historic Landmark and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register). In order to save the house from demolition (as the house is located on the site of a proposed residential development), PNC is in the process of relocating the Crabtree Jones House from its current location at 3017 Wake Forest Road to a new location approximately 375 feet southeast at 3108 Hillmer Drive. Given the likelihood of intact archaeological deposits associated with the historic occupation of the plantation, PNC requested that an archaeological investigation of the property be undertaken prior to the house being relocated. The goal of this investigation was to identify and assess the significance of any archaeological resources associated with the historic occupation of the property.
