Apex Urban Tree Canopy Study

8/31/2018

 
The Town of Apex was chosen as one of 12 communities in 6 states to develop a pilot project to demonstrate how best to utilize trees for stormwater management.  The project's goal was to help Apex map, evaluate, protect and restore its urban forests for improved stormwater management and clean water.  Recommendations from the study include:
  1. Code and policy improvements to reduce imperviousness and reduce runoff
  2. Changing current policy to allow for tree plantings in the rights-of-way
  3. Require that 60% of species planted on a site consist of natives
  4. Create a stormwater utility and implement a stormwater fee 
Town staff is currently evaluating the recommendations provided by the consultant to determine which ones they recommend implementing, and on what timeline.  We will be monitoring this and providing input as recommended implementation is put forward.  Please email Suzanne Harris or call 919-232-5886 if you are interested in being involved in these discussions.
