and preliminary concepts.
Participants viewed an informative presentation about the Plan, draft goals and
recommendations then participated in open-ended discussions about their priorities

WETLANDS AND WATERS
In the delineation process, Terracon first
reviewed available resources to identify
potential waters of the United States
(WOTUS) and wetlands on or near the site.
A field investigation followed, using the
Routine On-site Determination Method
outlined in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Wetland Delineation Manual and the Atlantic
and Gulf Coastal Plain Regional Supplement.
OW1 T6 T7
Wetland areas were identified based on
hydrophytic vegetation, hydrology, and
hydric soil indicators.
Hydrophytic vegetation was assessed by

plant species and wetland indicator ratings.
Hydrology is determined by primary and
secondary indicators, and hydric soil is
assessed based on soil features. Wetland
areas meeting all three criteria were
delineated with flagging tape, and data
points are collected for each type, detailing
conditions related to vegetation, hydrology,
and soil.
Additional potential WOTUS were marked,

investigated for stream classification
and drainage patterns, and assessed for
hydrological connections.

SOILS AND TOPOGRAPHY
A recent report by Jacobs Engineering underscores the importance
of considering soils and soil types in the proposed trail develop-
ment near Glenville Lake. It highlights the vulnerability of sandy
soils to erosion, emphasizing the potential impact on water quali-
ty, sediment loading in the lake, and the need for stormwater man-
agement to prevent soil loss. Specific soil types, such as Blaney
loamy sand and Johnston loam, are identified for their erodible
nature and the challenges they pose during construction and de-
velopment.
Given the potential for soil runoff

after rain events it will be essen-
tial to implement Best Manage-
ment Practices (BMPs) to control
erosion and mitigate the impact
on Glenville Lake. The presence of
maintained utility corridors is rec-
ognized as an opportunity to limit
environmental impact, particular-
ly by restricting trail construction
to previously disturbed areas
wherever possible.
Overall, the text emphasizes the
significance of understanding and
addressing soil-related consider-
ations to safeguard water quality
and the delicate ecosystems sur-
rounding Glenville Lake.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
ȃ Connect the new bridge
crossing to Murchison Road.
ȃ Portions of the trail should be
a 10ft asphalt multi-use path.
ȃ A diverging path should be
utilized to avoid heritage
trees.
ȃ A parallel natural surface trail
could flank the existing trail
to be used by joggers and
hikers or spur trails could
provide access to natural
features.
ȃ A trailhead should be located
in the vicinity of Mary
McDonald Park or at the
terminus of a new extension
of Council Street.
ȃ The trail could connect a
series of passive recreational
opportunities that may
include a fishing pier or
wildlife viewing platform,
a nature play area and
environmental education
installations.
ȃ Safety features along the trail
should include a clear zone
on either side of trail, lighting
at key locations (lamp posts
at trailheads and bridge)
and call boxes or emergency
kiosks.

MAZARICK PARK IMPROVEMENTS
ȃ Survey results supported improved connections and identified maintenance
priorities and programming opportunities in Mazarick Park.
ȃ The park is located on the banks of Glenville Lake but due to topography views to
the lake are limited. Targeted limbing (removal of lower tree branches) on existing
trees could help open up view to the lake and to the new Tennis Center. This could
improve perceptions of safety and improve usage. Selective canopy improvement
is also recommended to improve the diversity of tree species and provide for areas
of decorative and native plantings.
ȃ Maintenance was cited as priority in the community survey. As a result it is
recommended that an inventory of priority maintenance issues and an updated
maintenance plan be developed for the park.
ȃ Programming enhancements should be contemplated due to the potential for
additional users due to the new Tennis Center. In addition future uses of the
existing Tennis Center on the north side of the park should be studied.
ȃ As recommended in the Center City Parks and Trails Plan the sidewalk along Filter
Plant Drive should be upgraded to an urban trail section with additional width.
A portion of this should be incorporated into EB-5540, a planned trail project
that has received NCDOT funding in the Statewide Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP).
OTHER PARK IMPROVEMENTS

Additional park improvements should be considered for park land on the east side
of Glenville Lake. Potential improvements are described on the following pages and
include:
ȃ Fishing pier / wildlife viewing platform
ȃ Playground
ȃ Stormwater Improvements
ȃ Educational Opportunities

FUTURE PARK PROGRAMMING AND
AMENITIES

Non-motorized boating is
envisioned to be a key feature,
offering a serene escape for paddlers,
kayakers, and canoeists. Accessible
from designated locations, this
addition enhances the recreational
offerings, inviting visitors to embark
on a peaceful journey and fostering
a deeper connection with nature. It
offers a captivating and refreshing
experience for all ages, whether
paddling leisurely or seeking a quiet
moment of reflection. Potential Location: East Shore Trail Connection near Bridge Option B.
FISHING PIERS:
Accessible fishing piers, strategically
positioned along Glenville Lake
and connected to the park’s trails,
provide an ideal opportunity for
all to enjoy fishing. Designed with
accessibility in mind, these spots
offer a peaceful setting for anglers
of all abilities to cast their lines
into the serene waters, ensuring
a comfortable and safe fishing
environment.
Potential Location: Mazarick Park or East Shore Connection near Bridge Option B.
26 Chapter 4 Recommendations: Future Park Programming And Amenities

lake, our inclusive adventure zone
is built with natural materials,
featuring climbing structures,
sensory paths, and play zones.
Designed for all ages and abilities,
it includes ramps and diverse
textures. With treehouse-like

logs and tree stumps for a challenging
yet organic fitness experience. Set
amid serene spots, users can engage
in a variety of exercises surrounded by
trees, fostering a balanced approach to

from durable, low-maintenance
materials, prioritizes practicality and
aesthetics. Designed for accessibility
and cleanliness, it offers spacious
compartments, well-lit interiors,
and eco-friendly fixtures. With
separate facilities for genders and
accommodations for individuals
with disabilities, it caters to diverse
demographics. The efficient design

inviting amenity for all visitors.
WILDLIFE VIEWING:
Nature-focused platforms along the
trail system seamlessly integrate into
wooded areas, providing optimal
vantage points for wildlife observation.
With strategically placed benches,
bird-watching scopes, and informative
displays about local avian species, these
platforms offer a tranquil and immersive
experience. Visitors can appreciate the
beauty of the surrounding woodlands
and the serene lake, making it an ideal
spot for birdwatching and wildlife
observation. Potential Location: Various locations along existing multipurpose trails/ East Shore Connections trails.
28 Chapter 4 Recommendations: Feature Amenities

SEATING AND CANOPIES:
“Bench seating and shelters in the
park seamlessly combine comfort and
communal spaces. Strategically placed
benches provide serene spots for
individuals to relax and appreciate the
surroundings. Adjacent shelters offer
shade, protection, and ample seating,
creating ideal settings for picnics and
group gatherings amidst the park’s natural
beauty.”
Potential Location: Various locations along existing multipurpose trails/ East Shore Connections trails.
PICNIC AREAS:

areas cater to various preferences, ensuring a delightful
experience for all visitors
Potential Location: Various locations in Mazarick Park and East Shore Connections trails.

FEATURE AMENITIES
STORMWATER MITIGATION:
Ensuring the lake’s water quality, crucial for
drinking water, requires effective stormwater
management in the surrounding area.
Innovative strategies like bio-retention
basins, permeable pavement, and strategic
vegetation help filter and slow down
stormwater runoff, minimizing pollutants.
These initiatives protect the lake’s pristine
nature and contribute to maintaining pure
drinking water for the community, preserving
ecological balance with a proactive and
reliable approach.
Potential Location: Along existing multipurpose trails/ East Shore Connections trails.
POLLINATOR PLANTING:
Enhancing existing plantings and landscape areas
throughout existing park areas and proposed
expansion with vibrant pollinator-friendly additions
serves as an educational and environmental
initiative. Integrating native plants that support
bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, these
plantings aim to educate visitors on the crucial
role of pollinators. Informative signposts scattered
across the park emphasize the significance of
biodiversity and the interdependence between
plants and pollinators. This initiative transforms
the park into a serene space, underlining the
critical role of these creatures in sustaining our
environment.
Potential Location: Various locations in Mazarick Park and East Shore Connections trails.

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
WATERSHED EDUCATION:
Lakes are part of larger watersheds. Teaching the community about the
concept of watersheds, the sources of pollution, and how actions within
the watershed affect the lake’s water quality is essential. Field trips and
workshops can facilitate this learning. An outdoor education center that
focuses on watersheds, wetlands, education, and community awareness
is a facility designed to engage people in experiential learning about these
vital ecological components. Create interactive maps or apps that show
residents the flow of stormwater in their area and its eventual discharge
into the lake. This visual representation can help people understand the Watershed Center, Pennington, NJ
connection between their properties and the lake.
WATER QUALITY TESTING:

Regular water quality testing and analysis can involve the community.
Educate people about the health of their water source, the impact of
pollution, and the importance of maintaining clean water. Local schools,
environmental groups, and individuals can participate in monitoring and
data collection trips and workshops can facilitate this learning.
NATURE WALKS:
Traversing various landscapes, including wetlands, wooded areas,
and lakeside shores, allowing participants to witness the diversity of
ecosystems within the watershed. Providing insights into the geological
and hydrological features of the watershed. Explain how water moves
through the environment and how it ultimately impacts the lake.
Observe aquatic life in tributaries, learn about the importance of riparian
zones, and examine wetland plants and their role in water filtration.
32 Chapter 4 Recommendations: Environmental Education

Develop educational materials and programs that highlight the interconnectedness of the lake, its
tributaries, and the surrounding wetlands is a powerful way to educate the community about the
intricate relationships within this ecosystem.
VISUAL AIDS AND MAPS: WILDLIFE HABITATS:

Create visual aids, maps, and diagrams that vividly Illustrate the habitats that each component
illustrate the geographical layout of the entire of the ecosystem provides for various wildlife
ecosystem. These can include large-scale maps with species. Emphasize the role of wetlands in
labeled wetlands, tributaries, and the lake, as well as supporting migratory birds, amphibians, and
arrows and symbols to indicate the flow of water and other wildlife, as well as the importance of
nutrients. These visuals should be clear and easy to tributaries for fish spawning and as aquatic

and educational backgrounds.
ECOSYSTEM COMPONENTS: HUMAN IMPACT:

Break down the ecosystem into its various components, Discuss the impact of human activities on the
such as the lake, tributaries, wetlands, and surrounding ecosystem, including pollution, deforestation,
terrestrial areas. Explain the unique characteristics urban development, and invasive species.
and functions of each component, emphasizing their Show how these activities can disrupt the
importance. delicate balance of the ecosystem and
negatively affect water quality.
NUTRIENT CYCLING: ECOLOGICAL PROCESSES:

Explain the cycling of nutrients within the ecosystem. Describe key ecological processes, such as

ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT WORKSHOPS:

Offer workshops and seminars on the impact of stormwater runoff on the
lake’s water quality. Educate residents about best management practices
for stormwater, such as rain gardens, permeable paving, and rain barrels.
These practices can be integrated into residential properties to reduce
runoff. Create demonstration sites in the community where residents
can see effective stormwater management techniques in action. These
sites can showcase rain gardens, vegetated swales, and other stormwater
control measures. Interpretive signage can explain their benefits.
RAINWATER HARVESTING PROGRAMS:

Promote the use of rainwater harvesting systems in homes and
businesses. Workshops and educational materials can teach residents
how to collect rainwater for non-potable uses, reducing the volume
of stormwater entering the lake. Conduct workshops and activities
where community members can test the quality of rainwater. This
demonstrates the potential for rainwater to carry pollutants and
underscores the importance of preventing contamination.
GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS:

Collaborate with local government and environmental
organizations to implement green infrastructure projects in the
community, such as constructed wetlands or urban forestry.
These projects can serve as educational resources and mitigate
stormwater runoff.
34 Chapter 4 Recommendations: Environmental Education

LAKE AND WATERSHED CLEAN-UP DAYS:
Organize community watershed clean-up events. Participants
can remove litter and pollutants, instilling a sense of
responsibility for maintaining the watershed’s health. These
events also provide hands-on learning about the ecosystem.
Encourage participation of local residents, community groups,
schools, and environmental organizations. Volunteers of all
ages and backgrounds.
STEWARDSHIP PROGRAMS:
Establish lake stewardship programs that engage residents in
ongoing efforts to protect the lake. This might include invasive
species management, water conservation initiatives, and shoreline
restoration projects. Organize events like lake festivals, clean water
fundraisers, and art exhibitions that focus on environmental themes.
Bring the community together to learn and appreciate the value
of their natural water source. Offers a sense of community and
togetherness, allowing neighbors to connect while working toward
a common goal.
PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS:

Use public awareness campaigns to educate residents
about the importance of protecting the lake as a source
of drinking water. These campaigns can include public
service announcements, newsletters, and social media
outreach.
Collaboration with Water Authorities: Partner with local
water authorities to offer educational programs and
resources. Water authorities often have expertise and
materials for teaching about water conservation and
quality.

OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS AND NEXT STEPS
Goals for the Glenville Lake Master Plan will include building the ȃ Design of trail, trail amenities, trailhead parking and
pedestrian bridge across Glenville lake connecting the east and west improvements, boardwalk, pedestrian bridges, stormwater
shores; constructing the east shore trail from Mary McDonald Park to management devices, and signage
