While concerns about stormwater hard surface runoff into Schitt's Creek, Mitchell Pond Number Six, Fourmile Creek are concerning our fears are not limited to Rea Road.
Just out of sight lies Stuart's Creek which runs along the east side of Elm Lane and then crosses under Elm Lane to enter the Ivy Hall gated community before transiting into a storm drain and running underground through the White Oak subdivision towards Pooh's Corner and the wetlands owned by Mecklenburg County and the White Oaks HOA.
Stuart's Creek starts at the Stonecrest Shopping Center, a Mecca for impervious surface. Then the creek collects more stormwater from 485. Unfortunately the addition of the 485 express toll lanes doubled the stormwater runoff into Stuart's Creek.
As the water flows into Piper Glen golf course it empties in into the Par 4 No 14 pond.
Leaving the pond via a spillway. Stuart's Creek flows north between the fairway and Elm Lane.
Then in crosses under Elm Lane and heads toward Ivy Hall and the homes of White Oak.
