SEPTEMBER 2019

Water Supply Program Quarry/Chattahoochee/Hemphill

Update: The tunnel lining operations are still underway, and 84 percent of the tunnel lining is complete. Crews lined approximately 686 linear feet at the end of August. Controlled blasting at the R.M. Clayton Water Reclamation Center for the extended tunnel has been completed and the concrete lining operation has commenced. The construction activities at the Quarry and Hemphill pump stations are on track, with substantial completion projected for October 2019. 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 District(s): 3, 9 Neighborhood Planning Unit(s): C, D, G, J, K

Dekalb Avenue Water Main Installation & Resurfacing Project

Update: Crews have completed all water main installation on Dekalb Avenue from Dekalb Place to Oxford Place and has approximately 60 linear feet of water main left to install between Moreland Avenue and Ferguson Street. As part of a continuing effort to improve the system reliability of the city’s aging infrastructure, the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management embarked on a project to upgrade approximately 1400 linear feet of water main long the Dekalb Avenue corridor. Replacing the existing 10-inch water main, the new 12 – inch water main will improve water flow, water quality and the hydraulic performance of the system. The water main replacement will be performed in two areas along the Dekalb Avenue corridor with the first phase from Dekalb Place to Oxford Place and the second phase from Moreland Avenue to Ferguson Street. Upon completion of the main installation, the Renew Atlanta bond program will begin the resurfacing portion of the project. Expected Completion: October 2019 Project Location: Northeast Atlanta Council District(s) : 2, 5 NPU(s): N

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 work on Walnut Street, Thurmond Street, and Elm Street is ongoing. The construction of the pipes needed to send stormwater into the pond is finished. Green infrastructure installation has begun and will continue through the end of the project and landscaping will be installed in Fall 2019 to ensure survival of the plants. Due to extreme wet weather for nearly a year-and-half, the new projected completion of DWM’s work is February 2020. 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: February 2020 Project Location: Vine Street NW Council District(s): 3 Neighborhood Planning Unit(s): L

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

Update: Work progresses on Joseph E. Boulevard as contractors continue laying water main pipe from Sunset Avenue towards Joseph E. Lowery Blvd. On the north side of Boone Boulevard, preparation for the addition of 20 new planter boxes and a new sidewalk is underway from Northside Drive towards Sunset Avenue.   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: September 2019 Project Location: Northwest Atlanta Council District(s): 3 Neighborhood Planning Unit(s): L

Energy Services Performance Initiatives - Noresco

Update: Contractors at RM Clayton have completed installation of new truck scale. Silo for dryer building is near completion and crews continue work on new UV system.   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 District(s): 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Neighborhood Planning Unit(s):  C, D, G

Energy Services Performance Initiatives - Schneider

Update: Contractors at the South River Water Reclamation Center continue work on digester pressure testing pipe, hooking up boilers, and running conduit. At the Utoy Creek Plant contractors are ready to begin UV installation and will soon complete the first sludge thickener.   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. Admininstration 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 District(s) : 1, 3, 8, 9, 10 Neighborhood Planning Unit(s) : C, D, E, G, H, Z

R.M. Clayton Nutrient Recovery System – Ostara

Update: Contractors working on the Nutrient Recovery System Building at the R.M. Clayton Water Treatment Plant will complete electrical installation and firewall panels inside of building. Crews will also begin installing new geodesic dome on top of digester.   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: September 2019 Project Location: R.M. Clayton WRC Council District(s): 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Neighborhood Planning Unit(s): C, D, G

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

Update: Crews are currently working to install root switch and edge switch filters. 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 : TBD Project Location : Northwest Atlanta Council District(s) : 9 Neighborhood Planning Unit(s) : 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.
