Poplar Creek: 03020201100010<br />
The Poplar Creek watershed is one of five HUs included in the Wake-Johnston Collaborative<br />
Local Watershed Planning area (WJCLWP). It is a small watershed covering only about nine<br />
square miles. There are 26 miles of stream here, 27% of which are not adequately buffered.<br />
Seventeen percent of the area is developed, mostly low-density residential with a portion of the<br />
City of Knightdale in the north. Approximately 35% of the watershed is used for agriculture and<br />
47% is forest or wetland. DOT has planned two miles of TIP projects here.<br />
Preservation of intact riparian corridors is important in Poplar Creek. <strong>Restoration</strong> of streams and<br />
buffers are high priorities for the watershed.<br />
