Overview

Since 2002, the Town of Cary has taken a number of steps to improve the quality of water that flows into Jordan Reservoir. The White Oak Stream Restoration and Greenway project will focus on the final 1.5 miles of the White Oak stream corridor located between Green Level and Wimberly roads in Western Cary.

This project will look at ways to reduce non-point source pollution entering Jordan Lake by developing a plan that will recommend areas for open space preservation; recommend the restoration of approximately 1.5 miles of White Oak Creek; and provide planning for a major greenway connection to the American Tobacco Trail.

See a map of this location.

To complete this plan, Town of Cary will partner with Town of Apex. The planning effort is expected to take one year to complete. When completed, the plan will include a natural communities inventory; wetland inventory; topographic and other surveys; greenway plan development; and a stream restoration plan.
