<strong>Goose</strong> <strong>Creek</strong> <strong>Watershed</strong> <strong>Management</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>Version</strong> 1...………………...October 31, 2009<br />

Focus Basin 11 (The Bridges)<br />

Focus Basin 11 has the highest estimated pollutant loads in the entire <strong>Goose</strong> <strong>Creek</strong><br />

<strong>Watershed</strong>. Figure 24 shows the extent of the Basin. The primary reason for Basin 11<br />

receiving the highest ranking is The Bridges mall site. Although the mall has not yet<br />

been built, grading permits have been issued and land clearing begun. Moreover, this<br />

basin contains much of the I-485 Lawyers Road interchange and a significant portion of<br />

I-485 north of the interchange. A limited amount of single family residential is also<br />

present in the basin. It is very likely that after the mall is constructed storm water volume<br />

and velocity as well as pollutant runoff will increase. Currently NCDOT owns one small<br />

parcel in the northeast portion of the basin on the drainage divide. This parcel may be<br />

suitable to treat a small portion of I-485.<br />
