HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE During the 10-year period between the entry of its Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) Consent Decree in 1999 and completion of its Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Consent Decree requirements in 2008, the Department of Watershed Management implemented one of the nation’s most significant wastewater capital programs. By 2009, the Department’s compliance with its Consent Decree, as well as complementary capital projects had resulted in a 97 percent reduction in sewer spill volumes, and a 75 percent reduction in the incidence of spill events. During this time frame, capital program expenditures averaged more than $225 million per year and totaled in “The work's been done. It's been done excess of $2.0 billion. Financing this level of expenditure precipitated rate increases that placed the City’s service on time, I think pretty much done rates as the highest imposed by major North American within budget. And it really is a metropolitan systems.

remarkable accomplishment.”

With completion of its CSO Consent Decree obligations and U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Thrash, on the the extension of its SSO Consent Decree obligations until City’s Consent Decree progress 2020-2027, Watershed Management has had an opportunity to effect the balancing of its planned capital program expenditures (within its financial capabilities) called for in its schedule extension request. This balancing has been informed by the recent completion of a series of facility assessments and an integrated master planning effort. These efforts have identified or heightened the priority status of several major projects not highlighted in earlier capital improvement plans – most notably the Water Supply Program (former Bellwood Quarry, site of planned water storage facility, pictured below).

The Water Supply Program reflects Mayor Kasim Reed's emphasis on securing the reliability of Atlanta's water supply for the next 100 years. FY2015-FY2019 Capital Improvement Program Department of Watershed Management

INTRODUCTION The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a planning and budgeting tool that organizes system needs and prospective funding requirements over a specified time horizon. It identifies requirements for sustaining, restoring and modernizing the facilities and infrastructure that support the water system, wastewater system, combined sewer control facilities and general maintenance and repair priorities in the Atlanta service area. This report provides project priorities and implementation schedules for a fiveyear period, from FY 2015 through FY 2019.1,2 The proposed capital program includes net funding requirements of $1,055,710,000 and consists of the following project categories: Water System, Wastewater System, Watershed Protection and Water Quality Control Facilities, General Facilities Management, and General Support Services.

Water Quality Control Facilities and Watershed Protection 13%

Facilities Management 5%

Capital projects funded prior to this period, but not yet completed, are not included in this report. Additional funding requirements for some prior period projects have been identified as part of this five-year CIP. In such cases, only the incremental funding requirement (i.e. cost estimate) is included on the corresponding project summary sheets. 2

FY2015-FY2019 Capital Improvement Program Department of Watershed Management

1.0 WATER SYSTEM The original City of Atlanta water system was constructed in 1851 and consisted of five artesian wells. In 1891, the City’s Water Commission recommended withdrawing up to 10 million gallons per day (mgd) from the Chattahoochee River to address water shortages. The water would be treated at a plant named for Mayor William Hemphill, who was responsible for the purchase of the 200-acre plant site. In 1893, the City's first river intake, a 30inch pipeline located on the east bank of the Chattahoochee River just north of Peachtree Creek, was constructed to transfer water from the river to the Hemphill Water Treatment Plant (WTP) complex. A 36-inch main was added in 1910 and a 48-inch main was added in 1923. The Chattahoochee WTP was constructed and placed in service in 1960. The Atlanta-Fulton County WTP (jointly owned by the City of Atlanta and Fulton County, and operated by the Atlanta Fulton County Water Resources Commission) was constructed and placed in service in 1991. Additionally, the City constructed 60-inch and 72-inch pipelines to transfer water from the raw water pump station to the Chattahoochee and Hemphill WTPs. Today, these three treatment plants serve more than 1 million people in the metropolitan Atlanta region, providing approximately 100 million gallons a day (mgd) of water each day within a 650-square-mile service area. The City obtains its drinking water from the Chattahoochee River through two raw water intakes located downstream of Lake Lanier, a multi-purpose water reservoir owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The City is permitted to withdraw a combined total of approximately 225 mgd. The raw water is treated at the City’s three water treatment plants (WTPs), one of which (along with a raw water intake) is jointly owned with Fulton County. The WTPs have a combined treatment capacity of 246.4 mgd. The City’s distribution system includes more than 2,750 miles of water distribution pipelines, 4 finished water pump stations, 3 re-pump stations, 11 booster pump locations (8 of which are in reserve, 2 raw water pump stations, 1 reservoir emergency draw-down pump station, 4 surge tanks and 12 ground and elevated storage tanks. The City’s retail water system serves more than 150,000 active water accounts. The City’s retail water service area includes the City, unincorporated areas of Fulton County (South of the City), the areas located within the cities of Sandy Springs and Chattahoochee Hills and portions of incorporated areas located in South Fulton where the City’s customers were recently annexed into cities from formerly unincorporated Fulton County. The City’s wholesale water customers include three cities in Fulton County (Hapeville, Fairburn and Union City), and the counties of Coweta (Coweta County Water and Sewerage Authority), Clayton (Clayton County Water Authority) and Fayette. The City supplies all water needed by the wholesale customer cities and a limited portion of the total water needed by the wholesale customer counties. The cities of College Park, East Point and Palmetto are supplied with water independent of the City and Fulton County. FY2015-FY2019 Capital Improvement Program Department of Watershed Management

The City’s water treatment plants are operated and maintained by the Department’s Office of Water Treatment and Reclamation; water transmission and distribution system assets are operated and maintained by the Office of Linear Infrastructure Operations. Regulatory compliance is ensured through the oversight of the Office of Watershed Protection and management of the CIP is the responsibility of the Office of Engineering Services. The Water System’s capital projects represent ongoing and planned projects to ensure system reliability, meet specific facility needs, and ensure compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act, proposed revisions to administrative consent orders, and operating permits.

1.1. WATER SUPPLY The Department’s near-term capital program is highlighted by implementation of the Water Supply Program – the most substantial water system investment since development of the Chattahoochee WTP. This program, as described below, will address acute weaknesses in the Department’s raw water supply infrastructure identified in recent facility assessments. Beyond its assurance of sound raw water conveyance and storage capacity for the foreseeable future, other water supply projects will help assure the reliability of the water system’s other raw water storage and conveyance facilities. Key water supply projects include: The Water Supply Program is a major undertaking identified through the water master planning process that will improve the reliability of raw water delivery to the Chattahoochee and Hemphill WTPs. A deep, five-mile tunnel with a diameter of 10-12 feet will connect the raw water intake on the Chattahoochee River to the Chattahoochee WTP, the Hemphill WTP, and the former Bellwood Quarry. Utilization of the quarry will add 2.4 billion gallons of raw water storage to the system, making raw water storage available at the Chattahoochee WTP for the first time. Water storage at the quarry will be equivalent to 30 days’ worth of backup water supply. Raw water will be pumped up from this tunnel to the Chattahoochee WTP and to the Hemphill raw water reservoirs. This conveyance and storage system will replace reliance on three cast-iron transmission lines built in 1893, 1907, and 1924 and one steel water main built in 1975 that deliver water from the intake to the Hemphill plant. A portion of the raw water transmission system will remain in place after completion of the program to provide redundancy and further enhance reliability. The Hemphill Reservoir #1 Embankment project will return this 180-million gallon reservoir to active service. Together with Hemphill Reservoir #2, a total of five days’ water supply will be provided for water treatment and distribution. The scope of the project includes minor repairs to the embankment and the construction of a permanent drainage system.

1.2. WATER FACILITIES Water Facilities projects are focused on the drinking water treatment system to improve the treatment and transmission facilities. These projects include control system upgrades, automation projects, equipment renovation or replacement, building maintenance projects, and other small FY2015-FY2019 Capital Improvement Program Department of Watershed Management

capital projects at the WTPs. The projects are intended to improve efficiency and reliability, replace/renew assets, and ensure a safe operating environment. Key projects include: The Downtown Storage Tanks project will add a total of 4 million gallons of finished drinking water storage. The two storage and pumping stations will be located on either side of the eastern continental divide that crosses downtown. This storage will improve reliability of drinking water pressure and fire flows in the event of a power outage or other interruption at the Hemphill plant. The Chattahoochee WTP Improvements project will address immediate needs identified in the Water Master Plan. Elements of this project include replacing sedimentation basin valves; modifications or replacement of the alum, fluoride, and powdered activated carbon feed systems; secondary containment for chemical storage; and replacement of filter underdrains. The Hemphill WTP Improvements project includes compliance upgrades that were also identified as immediate needs in the Water Master Plan. As with Chattahoochee upgrades, these projects, which are in design, will further ensure continued compliance with Safe Drinking Water Act rules, regulations, and permits. Included in the Hemphill scope is overhauling the activated carbon feed system, replacement of baffle walls and overflow weirs in the sedimentation basins, replacing filter media, and refurbishing one of the three filter galleys with new underdrains, air-scour blowers, and piping. The Hartsfield Pump Station Manifold project will provide professional services for a project already underway to repair piping and stop leakage in this manifold that serves the HartsfieldJackson airport area.

1.3. DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM The projects in this category are related to the transmission and distribution of finished water. The projects are intended to improve efficiency and reliability or replace/renew assets that have reached the end of their useful life. The following two categories of projects represent the planned system improvements: Distribution system maintenance and improvement projects include water main replacement projects, valve and hydrant testing, water tank maintenance and repair, and other miscellaneous projects. Other investments are for protective measures such as cathodic protection and telemetry system improvements. The Department has completed its Valve and Hydrant Assessment that provided an inventory and condition assessment of all water valves and hydrants. The Department’s Water Tank Maintenance and Repair project has renewed these assets with a number of structural repairs and surface conditioning of system water tanks. Annual contracts are for services such as small meter installations, repair or replacement of large meters, raising of valve covers, and repair and replacement of water pipe. These contracts are forecast at a consistent level of effort. Planned encumbrances also include a funding allowance for projects in which utility relocations are required as a part of municipal or state road widening, bridge replacements or other improvements. FY2015-FY2019 Capital Improvement Program Department of Watershed Management

Key projects include: Large Diameter and Small Diameter Distribution System Renewal and Rehabilitation is a general project for as-yet unidentified future water distribution line improvements. The distribution system is a large and diverse set of assets for which sustained funding is imperative to provide uninterrupted flow and pressure for health, business productivity, and fire protection. Replacing mains with a high break history or those with chronic leaks also reduces real water loss. In many instances, smaller mains may be replaced with larger pipe based on hydraulic modeling. Included within the scope of work for this project is cathodic protection of steel pipe and pressure zone realignment. Selection of individual projects will be based on age of assets, material of construction, history of leaks/repairs, and criticality. The Large Meter Installation, Testing & Replacement project includes the testing, repair, replacement, and installation of water meters with diameters greater than two inches. There are more than 3,000 large meters in the distribution system, through which approximately half the finished drinking water flows. Maintaining accuracy to American Water Works Association (AWWA) standards is important for sustaining revenues, equitable billing, and reduction of apparent water loss. This program is implemented via annual contracts. The Distribution System Telemetry Improvements project is to upgrade the Department’s existing system that signals real-time pressures at critical nodes in the distribution system, as well as water levels in remote finished water storage tanks, to a centralized water delivery control center at the Hemphill WTP. The project will add telemetry transmitters in the distribution network to fine-tune operations and improve the level of service.

2.0 WASTEWATER SYSTEM The City’s wastewater treatment and collection system encompasses more than 2,150 miles of sanitary and combined sewers, two permitted combined sewer overflow (CSO) Water Quality Control Facilities (WQCF), four permitted Combined Sewer Control Facilities (CSCF), three permitted water reclamation centers (WRCs) and 16 pump stations. The City’s wastewater system is operated and maintained by the Department’s Offices of Water Treatment and Reclamation and Linear Infrastructure Operations. The three WRCs have a combined hydraulic capacity of 220 mgd and are permitted to discharge up to 188 mgd under the existing combined permit (NPDES Permit No. GA0039012). The City’s wastewater treatment and collections system serves more than 88,000 active retail wastewater accounts in the City of Atlanta (and also bills for wastewater services provided by Fulton County for accounts that receive water service from the City of Atlanta). In addition, the City treats wastewater from wholesale customers including DeKalb and Fulton counties and the cities of College Park, East Point, and Hapeville. The wastewater system is operating pursuant to the requirements of judicial orders and environmental permits issued by the State of Georgia in accordance with the requirements of the federal Clean Water Act and the Georgia Water Quality Control Act. In 1998, the City entered into a federal Consent Decree (CSO Consent Decree), which required the City to achieve full compliance with environmental permits, the federal Clean Water Act and the Georgia Water Quality Control Act with regard to the City’s CSO FY2015-FY2019 Capital Improvement Program Department of Watershed Management

Control Facilities. The City completed the work required under the CSO Consent Decree in October 2008, including separation of three combined sewer areas and construction of storage and transmission tunnels. It then completed a two-year post-compliance evaluation period and successfully avoided substantial noncompliance during that timeframe.

Additionally, the City is subject to the requirements of the SSO Consent Decree as amended, which required the City to achieve, by 2020-2027, full compliance with the City’s environmental permits, the federal Clean Water Act and the Georgia Water Quality Control Act with regard to the City’s WRCs, collection system and pump stations, to eliminate all unpermitted discharges, and to eliminate all sanitary sewage overflows (SSOs). Numerous improvement projects designed to achieve these objectives have been completed. These improvement projects include upgrades to treatment facilities, system-wide inspection and rehabilitation of the collections system, and additional tunnel construction. The City’s CIP has been developed to meet these objectives as well as ensure the renewal and operational efficiency and reliability of the wastewater collection and treatment system. The wastewater capital program is designed to address a number of acute needs identified in recent assessments and to enhance system operational efficiency and reliability. The designated capital projects were also specified to ensure compliance with the Clean Water Act, Georgia Clean Waters Act, and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits issued by the Georgia EPD. The following capital program categories are consistent with the Department’s new operational structure, support an asset management approach to system renewal and rehabilitation, and incorporate consent decree compliance work within the Wastewater Collection project category.

2.1. WASTEWATER FACILITIES The projects under this category are intended to improve efficiency and reliability, renew or replace assets, or address current or prospective regulatory requirements. The capital program will FY2015-FY2019 Capital Improvement Program Department of Watershed Management

transition into an asset management approach, thus providing a systematic way to identify and prioritize projects based on service levels, asset condition, criticality of asset, and other criteria. Key projects include: Numerous critical projects will be completed within the City’s largest water reclamation facility, RM Clayton WRF. The intent of the projects is to restore design capacity and improve reliability and efficiency, thus reducing permit non-compliance events. Key projects at RM Clayton consist of the following:  Replacement of the headworks facility to improve grit removal and reduce the damaging effects of grit on downstream treatment equipment;  Replace obsolete switch gears, have on hand two spare units for the centrifuges, and provide emergency generators for the blower building;  Provide a mobile belt filter press to be used at RM Clayton or the other WRCs to provide sludge handling in the event of an emergency and to provide treatment flexibility;  Modernize and improve the reliability of instrumentation and controls at the facility;  Provide supplemental blowers;  Refurbish the sand filter to improve efficiency; and  Provide an additional thickener waste activated sludge (TWAS) centrifuge. Decommissioning of the Intrenchment Creek WRC and consolidating treatment at the South River WRC is expected to result in operational cost savings and reduce the risk of permit noncompliance events. The project will include replacing the grit traps, providing new influent and effluent pump stations, and repairing force mains at Intrenchment Creek WRC. To consolidate treatment at South River WRC, upgrades will be made at the primary odor control building, replacement of the chemical feed building, and providing a new poly aluminum chloride (PAC) chemical feed facility. The South River WRC Various Projects Group 1 consist of upgrading the existing digester complex and control building, as well as modifying the dewatering building. The existing centrifuges will be replaced with new dewatering centrifuges and a new polymer feed system will added. The Flint River and Bolton Road Pump Stations will undergo major upgrades. The Flint River Pump Station will be replaced with a pump station with a capacity of 25 MGD. The Bolton Road Pump Station will be rehabilitated and upgraded to 40 MGD with modern equipment and variable frequency drive pumps. The RM Clayton Nutrient Harvesting project will produce fertilizer pellets, a marketable product, from the centrifuge operation and improve nitrogen and phosphorus removal, which results in lower nitrogen and phosphorus loads as required by the City’s NPDES permit. Utoy Creek WRC Compliance Upgrades includes improving stormwater drainage at the headworks facility, replacing influent pumps and updating pump controls, replacing the chemical feed system, replacing heat exchanger systems, replacing sludge digester rear elation pump boilers and replacing secondary clarifier equipment.


Pump Stations Improvements include equipment replacement at the Philip Lee, Rebel Forest, Woodward Way 1 & 2, Cascade, Niskey Lake 1, Highlands, SR Industrial, Rivermeade, Bell South, Paul Avenue, and Hanover West pump stations. Watershed Management is evaluating potential opportunities to avoid capital expenditure for rehabilitation and replacement (R&R) of outmoded technology, gain efficiencies through outsourcing and facility consolidation, and move from disposal to beneficial reuse and resource recovery. While this new direction could reduce the net life-cycle cost of solids treatment, implementation of the beneficial reuse and resource recovery attributes of the program will be deferred beyond FY 2015-19 in light of financial constraints and the priority funding of the Water Supply Program.

2.2. WASTEWATER COLLECTION The Wastewater Collection projects represent the combination of SSO Consent Decree projects to be implemented in the forecast period and other collection system improvements specified to assure appropriate renewal and rehabilitation of wastewater system linear infrastructure. Key projects include: The Sewer Capacity Relief Projects will increase wastewater collection capacity in accordance with SSO Consent Decree requirements. Several key projects add sewer capacity to reduce spills and overflows during storm events. For other key projects, additional capacity is being added in anticipation of new residential and industrial development within the City. Within the current five-year CIP, the capacity relief projects for Sewer Group 3 will be completed, as well as acceleration of Sewer Group 4 projects where needed to resolve issues. The small diameter Sewer Group Pipe Rehabilitation Projects are the continuation of the SSO Consent Decree mandated Sewer System Evaluation Survey projects to identify and repair structural defects in the pipe. During the five-year CIP, the pipe rehabilitation work for Sewer Groups 3 and 4 will be competed. There are several deep tunnels that convey sewage to WRCs and to combined sewer facilities. Over time, these tunnels accumulate grit and debris. The Nancy Creek Tunnel Assessment project will provide for removal of this debris through drop shafts and allow the Department to upgrade odor control technology at the tops of these drop shafts. The Sewer Cleaning and Pipeline Assessment annual contract will allow the DWM to plan systematic cleaning and assessment of the sewer system. Regular cleaning helps minimize blockages in pipes and thereby reduces sewer spills and overflows. Through rehabilitation and repairs identified during the inspection, it can help preserve the structural integrity and service life of sewer pipes. The Department will implement sewer rehabilitation and relief projects required under the SSO Consent Decree to ensure completion within the revised July 2027 completion date.


3.0 WATER QUALITY CONTROL FACILITIES As a consequence of completion of the CSO Consent Decree program, relatively limited additional work is required on the Department’s water quality control facilities themselves. However, in part due to changes in the Department’s permits, projects under this category also include not only selected facility repairs and projects to improve operational performance, but also projects in the combined sewer system basins to limit wet weather flows to the water quality control facilities. Key projects include: The West Area Water Quality Control Facility Improvements project will replace equipment at the sludge thickening and dewatering facilities, modify the filter compression plate, improve the control system, replace electrical equipment, replace chemical system equipment, and install new control system software. The West Area Water Quality Control Facility Outfall Repair entails reconstruction of the energy dissipation system at the bottom of the concrete apron of the emergency outfall for the West Area Tunnel. The project also includes the repair and reinforcement of the Peachtree Creek streambank where the West Area Tunnel discharges. The East Area Water Quality Control Facility Improvements project will rehabilitate the sludge thickening and dewatering facilities, repair the tunnel pump station outfall, repair the sedimentation basin, provide electrical improvements, replace submersible sludge pumps, upgrade chemical system equipment, and upgrade the control system software.

4.0 WATERSHED PROTECTION The Department’s Office of Watershed Protection delivers services in collaboration with the City’s Department of Public Works. As described below, these services include a variety of activities required under the Department’s NPDES wastewater discharge permits, MS4 NPDES permit, and other waterquality related regulatory requirements. The two Departments also continue to work collaboratively to perform a number of stormwater management and drainage functions. The City’s watershed protection assets serve the 132.4 square miles of area within the City of Atlanta jurisdictional boundaries. Assets include the combined sewer system (approximately 11 square miles) as discussed earlier in Section 3.6, and approximately 122 miles of separate storm sewer management infrastructure. These systems are comprised of a broad array of stormwater management/drainage assets (e.g., culverts, inlets, outfalls) constructed primarily in conjunction with land and road development.


As defined in the City’s Stormwater Management Plan, approved by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD), stormwater management and control infrastructure is specifically limited to that which:  Is located within the City of Atlanta’s right-of-way along municipal roadways; or  Discharges directly through a municipally-owned stormwater outfall; or  Has been formally deeded to the City of Atlanta; or  Was constructed by the City of Atlanta; or  Is located on private property and for which a written easement has been recorded. Further, the City of Atlanta has jurisdiction only over stormwater infrastructure that is municipally owned, and excludes systems installed to facilitate travel along state and federal roads and highways. As such, City-responsible stormwater infrastructure is comprised of systems, facilities, and features that transfer, control, convey, infiltrate, or otherwise influence either the movement of stormwater runoff or water quality, which: (1) Are either owned by the City or for which the City has accepted an offer of dedication of an easement or other legally binding permanent right of use for stormwater drainage as defined in Part 15-07.004 of the City’s Land Subdivision Ordinance or for public use and maintenance under Title 44 of the Official Code of Georgia or as otherwise determined by Georgia law; or (2) Are structures or features that drain water from the City right-of-way and are located within the City right-of-way of the municipal street system that the City is responsible for maintaining in a condition reasonably safe for travel under Title 32 of the Official Code of Georgia. Consequently, about 35 percent of the stormwater infrastructure within the City of Atlanta is the responsibility of municipal government. As of 2009, the City had responsibility for over 41,500 known structures and their associated transmission pipelines. The Department’s restructuring and creation of the Office of Watershed Protection places heightened emphasis on these aspects of the Department’s responsibilities in response to emerging regulatory trends and infrastructure development opportunities. These regulatory changes, aspects of which have been incorporated into wastewater treatment plant permit requirements, reflect a focus on water quality improvement that requires effective management of both point source and non-point discharges to receiving waters.

Key projects include: The Southeast Atlanta Green Infrastructure Initiative addresses combined sewer system capacity limits within the Custer Avenue sub-basin. Long-term solutions will require the installation of green and gray infrastructure features to intercept, hold, and slowly release stormwater into the downstream collection system. As part of this program, permeable pavers will be installed in the Peoplestown, Mechanicsville, and Summerhill communities. In addition, capacity relief ponds and a bioretention area will be constructed to add approximately two million gallons of capacity relief. The features are being designed to serve as a recreational and community amenity.


The Proctor Creek Watershed encompasses downtown Atlanta and many residential neighborhoods, including some economically depressed areas of the City. In 2013, as part of the Urban Waters Federal Partnership, the DWM took on a leadership role for the revitalization of Upper Proctor Creek, where remedial actions would provide the greatest benefit to the overall watershed. A combination of innovative treatment technology, green infrastructure, and capacity relief are being planned. The Upper Proctor Creek Mitchell Street Sewer and Mims Park Pond Projects will provide capacity relief to the Mineral Springs and Beckwith combined trunk sewers. The Mims Park Pond is being designed to serve as a recreational and community amenity. In addition, the Upper Proctor Creek Water Quality Facility project will provide direct enhanced treatment of Proctor Creek water to reduce the concentrations of bacteria, sediment, and other pollutants. The Green Infrastructure Maintenance projects to be constructed within the five-year CIP will provide 13 million gallons of stormwater capacity and lead to an additional 10 million gallons of capacity in subsequent phases. The DWM has become a leader in the effective use of green infrastructure to reduce storm runoff into the combined sewer system and creeks. The purpose of the project is to maintain the green infrastructure. The projects will be implemented via an annual contract.

5.0 GENERAL General projects are those that are not specific to the wastewater, water or watershed protection categories defined above but are required to support all department capital project initiatives. General projects are divided into two sub-categories: Facilities Management and Support services.

5.1. FACILITIES MANAGEMENT Facilities Management projects include new facilities such as the Linear Operations Warehouse and Training Center (Peyton Center) that will consolidate operations and maintenance for wastewater collection and water distribution under the Department’s Office of Linear Infrastructure Operations (OLIO). Facilities Management projects also include structural and site improvements at various Department properties (including road repairs at plant sites) and utility relocation projects required in conjunction with Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) or municipal road projects. Key projects include: The Peyton Center will consolidate operations and maintenance for wastewater collection and water distribution. The Department plans to co-locate a training academy at the proposed central warehouse at property owned on Peyton Road. This training center is anticipated to include full-scale simulators and training grounds for equipment operation. The Facility Structural and Site Improvements project is comprised of general plant and building maintenance, repair or replacement of roofs, elevators, HVAC, security fencing, pavement, replacement of emergency generators (required by NPDES permits), and the demolition of abandoned structures.


Plant Capital Maintenance – Small Capital Projects is a multi-faceted capital program that includes replacing plumbing fixtures in municipal buildings with water-efficient fixtures, evaluation and upgrade of telemetry and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) controls at treatment plants and remote water and sewage pump stations, electrical switchgear and circuitry (especially for three-phase power), and incidental demolition or removal of defunct equipment and small structures. GDOT/IntraGovernmental Agreements Utility Relocation Project result from situations where road, bridge, and drainage improvements conflict with existing water and sewer lines. The responsibility and cost of relocating these lines is generally assigned to the utility owner, who is required to move them to maintain uninterrupted service. Transportation-driven water and sewer line relocations are recurring projects in the Department’s capital program. Plant repair and maintenance is managed through a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). The CMMS Assessment project will upgrade the work order system for vertical assets (plants and pump stations) with a consistent hierarchy of asset nomenclature on a common and uniform CMMS software system.

5.2. SUPPORT SERVICES Support services projects include upgrades to the Department’s technology infrastructure including Geographical Information Systems (GIS), computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), permit documentation, and other software tools. This sub-category also includes continuing program management support services; geotechnical investigations; raising valves and manholes; asphalt paving, milling, and resurfacing; small meter testing and repair; and departmental conservation and special projects. Key projects include: The Fleet Replacement project is to replace vehicles and rolling equipment on a defined schedule based on age, miles, or hours of service. The Department operates approximately 800 items of rolling stock, including construction equipment, trucks, sedans, and mowers. Replacement of fleet vehicles and other rolling stock is a capitalized expenditure. The Geotechnical Testing (not otherwise specified) project will fund a series of contracts to sample and evaluate soil and rock borings. This testing is generally used at the concept and alignment phases of capital projects and facilitates development of improved designs, especially with deep excavation or tunneling projects. Reducing the uncertainty of below-grade conditions controls the Department’s construction project costs. The Program Management Services project will fund professional services related to capital project delivery including planning, tracking, scheduling, and cost estimating as well as ancillary services related to the CIP.

The City of Atlanta’s raw water system infrastructure forms the foundation and starting point for delivering clean and reliable drinking water as well as fire protection service for more than 1 million system users including the world's busiest passenger airport. In the 1890’s, when Atlanta faced major public health issues with water quality and water availability, the investment in raw water conveyance and storage was the first step in securing a sound future for the City. Since then, that investment has been integral to the success of Atlanta’s economy and the health of its citizens. The original raw water supply pipelines are still in service. Cast iron mains of 30”, 36”, and 48” in diameter were installed in 1893, 1908, and 1924 respectively. Although these water mains were renewed with a cement liner in the 1950s, they have far exceeded their design life. A fourth line, a 72” steel main, was built in 1975; however, metallurgical weaknesses restrict its operation to warm weather months. The Chattahoochee River is the source of raw water for the entire metro Atlanta. The path of the new raw water conveyance system will follow closely the path of the current cast iron and steel lines. The new five-mile conveyance line will connect to a quarry site that will be transformed into a new water storage facility at the quarry. The new storage facility will be designed to meet the current withdrawal permit limits and store any excess water not used for daily drinking water. Once filled, this facility will hold 2.4 billion gallons of water to provide the City at least 30 days of reserved water supply. Water treatment will be provided by the Hemphill Water Treatment Plant (WTP). The scope of this project includes: • Constructing a deep, five-mile long tunnel with a 10-foot diameter • Connecting Chattahoochee River raw water intake to the Hemphill WTP and quarry • Creating storage capacity within the quarry Justification: • Increases the City's reserve water supply to 30 days • Reduces corrective and emergency maintenance of existing raw water delivery pipelines • Enhances operational reliability with improved automation and system redundancy Consent Decree:

Large Diameter Water System Rehabilitation & Replacement

Description:

Kasim Reed Mayor Ceasar C. Mitchell Council President Carla Smith Kwanza Hall Ivory Lee Young, Jr. Cleta Winslow Natalyn M. Archibong Alex Wan Howard Shook Yolanda Adrean Felicia Moore C.T. Martin

The City owns approximately 320 miles of 16-inch to 48-inch large diameter water mains ranging from new installations to assets more than 75 years old. As of 2009, approximately 95 percent of the City’s water system infrastructure is ductile or cast iron pipe. There is limited information about the actual condition of the large water mains, except where sections have been repaired or replaced. In order to determine the remaining service life of the water mains, the Department plans to assess the condition of its critical lines. The results will be used to develop a rehabilitation, repair and replacement program for large water mains. A planning phase will assess the condition of the large water mains. DWM has a calibrated hydraulic model of the water transmission and distribution system and a Criticality Assessment model. These models will be used in conjunction with a database of water main maintenance work orders to develop a priority list of large water mains to be assessed. The Department will then perform an assessment to determine the wall thickness, location of leaks and other water main problems. Approximately 30 miles per year of the large water mains will be assessed. Subsequent phases will include design and construction. The results of the condition assessment will be used to prepare detailed designs for the rehabilitation, repair and replacement of large water mains. The scope of this project includes: • • • • •

Updating DWM Criticality Analysis model including fire flow analysis Developing a priority list of large water mains requiring a condition assessment Performing condition assessment of large diameter water mains Preparing a priority list of critical projects Reviewing and updating standard design details and specifications for large water mains

RM Clayton WRC - Two Scroll Bowl Kits, Switch Gears, Emergency Generators

Description: Constructed in 1965, the R. M. Clayton Water Reclamation Center (WRC) located in northwest Atlanta along the Chattahoochee River provides wastewater treatment for a service area that encompasses north of I-20, a small portion of north Fulton County adjacent to Sandy Springs, and most of north DeKalb County. The facility is designed to treat an average daily maximum monthly flow of 122 million gallons per day (mgd) of wastewater for discharge to the Chattahoochee River under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. Kasim Reed Mayor Ceasar C. Mitchell Council President Carla Smith Kwanza Hall Ivory Lee Young, Jr. Cleta Winslow Natalyn M. Archibong Alex Wan Howard Shook Yolanda Adrean Felicia Moore C.T. Martin Keisha Bottoms Joyce Sheperd Michael Julian Bond Mary Norwood Andre Dickens

The treatment process removes biological and chemical impurities from the wastewater in three phases: primary treatment, secondary treatment, and tertiary treatment. The primary treatment process begins with the removal of floatable and settleable solids. Next, biological treatment during the secondary treatment phase reduces the concentration of organic and chemical pollutants. Finally, tertiary treatment removes the remaining suspended solids, disinfects the treated water using ultraviolet radiation and increases dissolved oxygen concentrations before discharging to the Chattahoochee River. The biological solids that are removed during the wastewater treatment process are reduced in the digestion process before being dewatered and incinerated or hauled to a landfill. The biological solids handling systems are in need of additional capacity in order to handle excessive grit and debris loading. The centrifuges at R.M. Clayton WRC are of the scroll bowl type. These centrifuges use a high rotational speed to separate solids from liquids. A helical screw conveyor continuously discharges the separated solids from the bowl. The scroll conveys the solids from the stationary zone where the wastewater enters to the dewatering beach where the solids are discharged. The scope of this project includes: • Installing two spare scroll bowl kits for the sludge thickener centrifuges • Replacing obsolete switch gears • Providing emergency generators for the Blower Building Justification: • Spare scroll bowl kits minimize downtime and allow the facility to continuously remove biosolids • Replaces obsolete switch gear equipment • Provides emergency generators for the Blower Building to meet permit requirements Consent Decree:

The WRC discharge permit requires the effluent to meet a total phosphorus limit. The plant employs a combination of chemical and biological phosphorus removal to meet this limit. The RM Clayton WRC dewatering centrate has a high concentration of dissolved nutrients, specifically phosphorus and ammonia. The presence of these nutrients at high concentration causes unintentional struvite scale to form. The formation of struvite is currently providing a benefit to the plant, as phosphorus that would normally be recycled to the head of the plant is currently being removed with the plant’s dewatered sludge or via removal by adherence to the pipes in the form of struvite crystals. However, that same benefit results in underground and aboveground piping to be abandoned or removed and replaced on a regular basis increasing costs and introducing operational and compliance risk. The scope of this project includes: • Designing and installing a Nutrient Recovery and Treatment System

The R. M. Clayton Water Reclamation Center (WRC) is located in northwest Atlanta along the Chattahoochee River. Constructed in 1935, the facility provides wastewater treatment for a service area that encompasses the City of Atlanta primarily north of I-20, a small portion of north Fulton County adjacent to Sandy Springs, and most of north DeKalb County. The facility is designed to treat an average daily maximum monthly flow of 122 million gallons per day (mgd) of wastewater for discharge to the Chattahoochee River under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. The R.M. Clayton WRC treatment process removes biological and chemical impurities from the wastewater in three phases: primary treatment, secondary treatment, and tertiary treatment. The primary treatment process involves the removal of floatable and settleable solids. Next, during the secondary treatment phase, biological treatment reduces the concentration of organic and chemical pollutants in the wastewater. Finally, tertiary treatment removes the remaining suspended solids, disinfects the treated water using ultraviolet radiation, and increases dissolved oxygen concentrations before discharging to the Chattahoochee River. Primary sludge and biological solids that are removed during the wastewater treatment process are reduced in the digestion process before being dewatered and incinerated or hauled to a landfill. The purpose of this project is to restore design operation and reliability of the deep bed filters at the R.M. Clayton WRC. In addition, the underdrain system is in need of comprehensive service and in some portions repair or replacement. The scope of this project includes: • • • •

Changing the media of the deep bed filter Refurbishing the underdrain system Repairing equipment associated with the automatic operation of tertiary filtration Repairing equipment on 22 deep bed filter cells

Custer Avenue Water Quality Control Facility Additional Screens

Description:


Constructed in the mid-1980s, the Custer Avenue Water Quality Control Facility (WQCF) receives disinfected wet weather flows from the Boulevard CSO Regulator. Flows up to 500 million gallons per day (mgd) enter the Custer WQCF, receiving both coarse and fine screening, followed by de-chlorination. The screened flow is then routed to the East Area WQCF via a tunnel. When the Custer Avenue WQCF screening capacity or the tunnel storage capacity is reached, excess flows are diverted around the Custer Avenue WQCF to Intrenchment Creek via tipping weirs and concrete channel. The Custer Avenue WQCF requires an upgrade to provide additional screening prior to watershed discharges of these excess flows. The screening facilities will remove floatables that are discharged over the tipping weirs. The scope of this project includes: • Installing additional screens upstream and/or downstream of the tilting weirs • Installing a concrete channel • Providing for the collection, conveyance and disposal of screenings.

Southeast Atlanta Green Infrastructure Initiative(SAGII) - Permeable Pavers

Description:


In July 2012, southeast Atlanta residents living immediately east of Turner Field experienced several days of intense rainfall resulting in localized ponding. DWM responded immediately to perform on-site inspections and performed a review of the combined sewer collection and conveyance system. To better address flooding in the area, DWM created the Southeast Atlanta Green Infrastructure Initiative (SAGII) that focuses on the Peoplestown, Mechanicsville, and Summerhill communities of Atlanta. SAGII is an integrated water resources management approach that incorporates both green and grey structural stormwater management best management practices (BMPS) inclusive of short-term and long-term projects to impact the performance of the East Area Water Quality Control Facility during periods of intense rainfall as experienced in July 2012. The Southeast Atlanta Green Infrastructure Initiative will provide much needed capacity relief to residents in the Custer Avenue CSO service area impacted by flooding in 2012. Eight short-term projects were completed to provide immediate relief to residents including the construction of bioswales. Long-term solutions to mitigate the flooding in the affected areas including the construction of the Media Lot Vault (completed in 2014), Connally Vault, the Capacity Relief Ponds and the Permeable Pavers. The Permeable Pavers Project will provide up to 7.1 million gallons of capacity relief. The scope of this project includes installing permeable pavers in the following areas: • Peoplestown, Summerhill and Mechanicsville totaling approximately 6 miles

Asphaltic Concrete Pavement Milling & Resurfacing

Description: The intent of this annual contract is to have a contracting mechanism to complete repairs at locations where water main or sewer rehabilitation work has disturbed the existing pavement.


Milling is widely used for pavement recycling whereby the pavement is removed and ground up to be used as the aggregate in new pavement. For asphalt surfaces the product of milling is reclaimed asphalt pavement, which can be recycled in the asphalt hot mix pavement by combining with new aggregate and asphalt binder or a recycling agent. This reduces the impact that resurfacing has on the environment. Milling can also remove distresses from the surface, providing a better driving experience and/or longer roadway life. It can be also be used to control or change the height of part or the entire road. The scope of this project includes: • Concrete paving, milling, and resurfacing
