Raintree Pond at Hole Number Four Project
|
|
The objective of the Raintree Pond at Hole Number Four Project is to preserve and enhance the water quality of receiving waters. These objectives will be achieved by modifying the outlet structure and repairing the dam of the pond.
The pond is located south of Woodfox Drive, north of Fairway Downs Court, east of Strawberry Lane and west of Rounding Run Road on hole number four of the north course of the Raintree Golf course. The dam was determined to be unstable with a reasonable a risk that the dam could fail.
Estimated Cost: $680,000
Please note that this figure includes all costs associated with the project such as planning and design, utility relocation, consultant fees, construction, permits and landscaping. |

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services (CMSWS) project team will manage the Raintree Pond at Hole Number Four Project through the phases listed below.
Planning Phase (Completed Summer of 2010)
During the planning phase, several improvement alternatives were developed and evaluated to determine the best solution. A recommended alternative was selected and used as a guide for the design.
Design Phase (Completed Spring of 2011)
The engineering consultant is working closely with Storm Water Services to develop the design. The design is not considered complete until all permits are obtained, as the regulatory agencies may provide input which can influence the final design. Personnel from City of Charlotte, the engineering consultant, land surveyors, wetland specialists, and geotechnical engineers will be working in the area collecting information necessary to complete the design.
Permitting Phase (Ongoing)
During the permitting phase, the required water quality permits are obtained from Federal and State governments. The design must also be approved by North Carolina Dam Safety. The permitting phase of a project may overlap other phases.
Property Easement/Acquisition (Completed Spring of 2011)
The City works with citizens and organizations to acquire Storm Drainage Easements (SDEs), Access Easements (AEs) and Temporary Construction Easements (TCEs). The City requests that SDEs, AEs, and TCEs be donated to provide the City access and certain rights to the affected properties to make the recommended improvements and provide future maintenance. The essential easements have been donated, but the City may need easements on several other parcels to complete the construction efforts.
Bid Phase (May of 2011 - November of 2011)
During the bid phase, the final plans will be circulated to qualified contractors for a competitive bidding process. By state law, the lowest responsible bidder is awarded the construction contract. The bid phase of a project typically lasts 4 to 5 months.
Construction Phase (November of 2011 to March of 2012)
Throughout construction, efforts will be made to minimize disruption to nearby property owners. Construction of proposed improvements will be supervised by a City Inspector. Notifications of key construction dates and will be mailed to residents prior to construction. Negotiations have been made with project stakeholders, which are intended to limit major construction activities to the months of November through March. Construction involves earth work, concrete work, and other activities typically associated with a construction project.
