Project Name: Peachtree Creek – South Fork Green Infrastructure – Cheshire Bridge Road

The City has planned various projects in the Peachtree Creek sewer basin to provide sewer capacity relief and reduce stormwater runoff. Completed in 2014, the Peachtree Creek South Fork Relief Storage and Pumping Stations includes a 10 million, gallon equalization tank at Liddell Drive. Since construction of the project, significant reductions in sewage spills have occurred. Other projects will be constructed in order to provide not only additional sewer capacity relief but help reduce stormwater runoff and improve water quality.

The focus of the Cheshire Bridge Road Green Infrastructure Project is to help reduce stormwater runoff in one of the sewer sheds of Peachtree Creek.

The scope of this project includes:

• Constructing pervious sidewalks and street tree wells
• Constructing infiltration galleries and bio retention areas

Justification:

• Provides water quality treatment for surface runoff
• Increases ground water recharge
• Reduces runoff and the urban heat island effect from nearby pavement
• Supports economic development through aesthetic enhancements to the corridor
