Project Name: Upper Proctor Creek Sewer Capacity Relief – Mitchell Street Sewer

The area of the City located between Northside Drive, Phillips Arena, 72 Marietta, Five Points Marta Station and the Russell Federal Building is often referred to as “The Gulch.” Approximately 75-85 percent of the area is considered impervious, consisting of parking decks, buildings, concrete slabs, drives, roads and asphalt surface parking. Stormwater collected by all city assets located in The Gulch routes into the combined sewer system, eventually becoming a portion of the flow in the Mineral Springs Sewer Trunk. The proposed Upper Proctor Creek Sewer Capacity Relief Project (UPCRP) is a multi-phase program intended to provide a means of intercepting surface water runoff and redirecting the flow away from the combined sewer.

The scope of this project includes:

• Installing 1,400 (+/-) feet of 60-inch sewer
• Concurrent time line with New Stadium Project (NSP) activities
• Completing project in advance of NSP walkway, street, and plaza improvements

Justification:

• Provides essential capacity relief to the Mineral Springs and Beckwith combined sewer trunks
• Enhances system operational efficiency and reliability
• Reduces frequency and cost of corrective and emergency maintenance
• Decreases frequency and magnitude of flooding potential
