NOVEMBER 2019

Water Supply Program Quarry/Chattahoochee/Hemphill

Update: Lining of the quarry tunnel continues; Currently, 184 linear feet of the tunnel has been lined. Construction activities at the Quarry and Hemphill pump stations continue.   The Water Supply Program will increase Atlanta’s reserve water supply from three to five days to 30 to 90 days. The $320 million investment includes the construction of a five-mile tunnel connecting the Chattahoochee River, the Hemphill Water Treatment Plant, and the former Bellwood Quarry, which will be transformed into a 2.4-billion-gallon reservoir. The Water Supply Program is currently scheduled for completion in February 2020.   Expected Completion: February 2020   Project Location: Northwest Atlanta   Council Districts: 3, 9   Neighborhood Planning Units: C, D, G, J, K

Upper Proctor Creek Capacity Relief Project Rodney Cook Sr. Park In Historic Vine City

Update: Retaining walls around the pond and fountain are complete and all storm sewer infrastructure is installed. The liner needed to sustain the pond and wetlands will be completed in December 2019.Green infrastructure installation is underway and will continue through the end of the project. Elm Street is reopened, and work continues on Walnut and Thurmond Streets. Landscaping and boulder installation will begin this month. Due to extreme wet weather for nearly a year-and-half, the new projected completion of DWM’s work is April 2020.   The Upper Proctor Creek Capacity Relief project: Rodney Cook, Sr. Park in Historic Vine City is a multi-phase effort to reduce flooding and combined sewer flows in the Vine City neighborhood. This project consists of a collection of innovative stormwater practices designed to redirect surface runoff away from the Beckwith Trunk and Mineral Springs combined sewer systems.   The capacity relief facility is currently under construction led by the Astra/Rohadfox, Joint Venture. The components of this project include a 2-acre pond (9+ MG capacity), green infrastructure (bioretention, stormwater planters, rainwater harvesting cisterns, and soil restoration), aerating water features, separated storm drain pipelines, new sidewalks and roadway improvements.  The Department of Watershed Management is working concurrently with The Trust for Public Land who is responsible for the build out of the adjacent park. In addition, The National Monuments Foundation will be constructing statues of historic figures throughout the finished park. Expected Completion:  April 2020   Project Location: Vine Street NW   Council District: 3   Neighborhood Planning Unit: L

Upper Proctor Creek - Boone Boulevard Green Infrastructure & Capacity Relief Project

Update:  Contractors continue laying water main pipe on Joseph E. Boone Blvd NW at James P. Brawley Drive NW heading west towards Joseph E. Lowery Blvd NW. On the north side of Boone Boulevard, 20 new planter boxes are being installed, as well as a new sidewalk from Northside Drive towards Sunset Avenue NW.   This project will provide capacity relief to the North Avenue Combined Sewer Area and water quality improvements using the green infrastructure practice called bioretention, which is a specially landscaped area that captures runoff from an impervious surface and allows water to enter the soil. Proposed bioretention areas will span approximately 1.2 miles along Boone Blvd from Mayson Turner Road to Northside Drive that will collect stormwater runoff from along the sides of the road.   Expected Completion: March 2020   Project Location: Northwest Atlanta   Council District: 3   Neighborhood Planning Unit(s): L

Update: Work on the Biosolids Building at RM Clayton continues. Delivery of dryer equipment is underway; Installation of a wet hopper inside the building is happening this month, as well as the installation of pumps and auxiliary mechanical equipment. New gas lines are being installed in the Biosolids Building.   Three Energy Conservation Measures (ECM) for a software system to optimize the City's water distribution system is being implemented: A new Class A bio-solids system, office space at RMC WRC, and a replacement of ultraviolet disinfection system with new Trojan UV Signa System. Expected Completion: December 2020 Project Location:  R.M. Clayton WRC Council Districts: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Neighborhood Planning Units:  C, D, G

Energy Services Performance Initiatives – Schneider

Update: The installation of Ammonia-Based Aeration Control (ABAC) equipment will continue through mid-December. Work on the Digester rehab Enviromix System is underway, as well as lighting upgrades out at the South River Water Reclamation Center. Contractors at the Utoy Creek facility are working on the Volute Press installation with an expected startup and commissioning to occur by end of November.    Facility infrastructure improvements are underway at the RM Clayton WRC, Hemphill Water Treatment Plant, South River WRC, Utoy Creek WRC, Chattahoochee Water Treatment Plant and 14th St. Administration Complex.   Expected Completion : December 2020   Project Location : RM Clayton WRC, Hemphill WTP (Settled Solids only), South River WRC, Utoy Creek WRC, Chattahoochee Water Treatment, and 14th St. Admin Complex   Council Districts : 1, 3, 8, 9, 10   Neighborhood Planning Units : C, D, E, G, H, Z

R.M. Clayton Nutrient Recovery System – Ostara

Update: Contractors have completed the Nutrient Recovery Building at RM Clayton. The 30-day commissioning test will begin once water lines inside of the tunnel are installed. The centrate line inside of the dewatering building is complete and the drain valve for the centrate tank has been replaced. The installation of the new geodesic dome top on digester tank is near completion.    The purpose of this project is to improve nutrient (phosphorus and nitrogen) removal within the R.M. Clayton WRC. Enhanced nutrient removal will improve permit compliance, reduce chemical and operating costs, and provide a reusable byproduct.   Expected Completion: December 2019   Project Location: R.M. Clayton WRC   Council Districts: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9   Neighborhood Planning Units: C, D, G

R.M. Clayton Water Reclamation Center (WRC) Instrumentation/Controls Reliability Restoration

Update: Crews are currently working to install new hardware root and edge switches. Crews will begin operational testing and startup. The R.M. Clayton Water Reclamation Center Instrumentation/Controls Reliability Restoration project will upgrade various outdated Distributive Control Systems (DCS) and Process Logic Controller (PLC) systems, as well as add optical fibers and duct banks at the RM Clayton WRC. These systems monitor and control various process equipment and provide the interconnectivity required to treat wastewater to meet regulatory compliance permits.  Expected Completion: February 2020   Project Location: Northwest Atlanta   Council District: 9   Neighborhood Planning Units: C, D, G

Neighborhood Planning Unit (NPU) The City of Atlanta is divided into 25 Neighborhood Planning Units (NPU), which serve as citizen advisory councils that make recommendations to the Mayor and City Council on zoning, land use, and other planning issues. NPUs also allow citizens to receive information about all functions of city government.
