Clemmons stormwater report: 68 projects, three CIP replacements completed and extensive outreach
Summary
Staff reported 68 stormwater projects in the quarter, completion of three capital projects addressing recurring flooding, a high-volume medication collection and ongoing inspections of stormwater control measures.
The Village of Clemmons stormwater program reported a busy first quarter (January pril 2025) with 68 total projects, completion of three capital improvement projects, ongoing outfall inspections in industrial areas, and substantial public outreach tied to Creek Week and other programs.
Stormwater Program staff reported 56 structure repairs and seven ditch-line projects (about 366 linear feet) during the quarter. Two shoulder repair locations (about 67 linear feet) were completed, and a CCTV inspection covered nearly 500 linear feet of pipe. Jetting operations cleared approximately 40 linear feet of drainage lines. Staff said no minor culvert replacements were completed in the quarter but were planned for the upcoming quarter.
Three larger CIP replacements completed by North State Water and Sewer between January and March addressed sites prone to flooding: North Lakeshore (replaced an 18-inch reinforced concrete pipe with dual 24-inch RCP and added a headwall and riprap pad), Parkdale (replaced 18-inch pipe with dual 30-inch concrete pipe and headwall/riprap), and Bridle Path (replaced an 18-inch pipe under roadway with a 30-inch outlet and reconfigured a 90-degree transition). Staff said the improvements have performed well in subsequent heavy rains.
Permit-required outfall inspections covered 22 outfalls in industrial areas; the village is partnering with Blue Stream Environmental to complete additional inspections. Stormwater control measure (SCM) reporting covered 55 devices; two sites missed annual report submission deadlines and five sites failed third-party inspections and are working to return to compliance. Street sweeping collected nearly 16 tons of debris from commercial corridors and almost 9 tons from residential streets in the quarter.
Other items: staff reported two sanitary sewer overflow call-ins and one failing water meter box; issues were addressed by the responsible parties. The village nnual Operation Medicine Drop collected over 200 pounds of medication (the highest amount recorded since the program began). Public education included distribution of 112 shoreline stabilization kits, 34 Facebook posts, three email blasts and additional print advertising.
Why this matters: The combined infrastructure repairs and public-education efforts are part of the village—ompliance with state stormwater permit requirements and reduce local flooding and pollution risks.
