Construction is complete for the UGRA Water and Sediment Control Basin K-4 located in western Kerr County. This project consisted of a 17-foot high, 125-foot long earthen embankment with a 155 foot wide earthen emergency spillway for the control of water and sediment at the Gilroy Property. The project is located on Fessenden Branch which is a tributary to Johnson Creek. During significant rainfall events, this basin captures and temporarily detains high flows allowing the flows to be released in a controlled manner to protect water quality and control erosion. In addition, the basin captures sediments that would otherwise degrade downstream water quality.
