Project Title:
Rowan Creek Sewer Upgrade
Project Description:
Replace and upgrade the existing Pottershop pump station (PS) to 3.6 MGD capacity and replace and upgrade the existing Rowan Creek trunk sewer to include approximately 6,500 linear feet (LF) of 24-inch sewer, 3,600 LF of 18-inch sewer, and 6,800 LF of 12-inch sewer. The trunk sewer will extend from the Pottershop PS north past John Rowan Blvd., and east to the Martha Layne Collins BG Parkway and the Nelson County Industrial Park. To handle the additional flow at the Town Creek WWTP, approx. 920 LF of 24-inch influent sewer will be replaced with 36-inch, and mechanical screening facilities will be constructed at the headworks of the WWTP to remove trash and debris from the waste stream
Need For Project:
Briefly describe how this project promotes public health or achieves and/or maintains compliance with the Clean Water Act or Safe Drinking Water Act:
The Pottershop PS is a recurring sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) location due to hydraulic overloading during wet weather. The Rowan Creek trunk sewer has high levels of inflow and infiltration (I/I) and has numerous documented defects. Existing and proposed development within the Rowan Creek sewershed will exceed the capacity of the existing trunk sewer and pump station; therefore replacement and upgrades to the trunk sewer and pump station are needed. Replacement of the influent sewer at the Town Creek WWTP is needed to eliminate a hydraulic constriction that causes the headworks to back up at high influent flows. Screening facilities are needed to remove trash and debris from the influent and prevent plugging problems with floating aerators and the biological reactor.
Project Alternatives:
Alternate A:
Note: If project includes the construction of a new treatment plant or upgrade to existing plant, please explain regionalization options here.
The City could construct a parallel line to serve the area; however, due to documented defects in the existing line, this option would not improve the performance of the sewer collection and was not chosen.
Alternate B:
Construct an additional pump station to hold and divert flow at an alternate location. This option would require additional acquisition of limited sites and result in higher costs.

Green Infrastructure:
Green stormwater infrastructure includes a wide array of practices at multiple scales that manage wet weather and that maintains and restores natural hydrology by infiltrating, evapotranspiring and harvesting and using stormwater. On a regional scale, green infrastructure is the preservation and restoration of natural landscape features, such as forests, floodplains, and wetlands, coupled with policies such as infill and redevelopment that reduce overall imperviousness in a watershed. On the local scale, green infrastructure consists of site and neighborhood-specific practices, such as:
Component
Cost
Item 1:
Implementation of green streets.
Item 2:
Wet Weather management systems for parking areas.
Item 3:
Implementation of comprehensive urban forestry programs.
Item 4:
Stormwater harvesting and reuse.
Item 5:
Downspout disconnection.
Item 6:
Comprehensive retrofit programs designed to keep wet weather discharges out of sewer systems.
Item 7:
Establishment or restoration of riparian buffers, floodplains, wetlands or other natural features.
Item 8:
Management of wetlands.
Item 9:
Purchase of land or easements on land that has a direct benefit to water quality.
Total Cost:
* Indicates a business case may be required for this item.
If any box(es) above are checked, please describe each below.
Water Efficiency:
The use of improved technologies and practices to deliver equal or better services with less water. Water efficiency encompasses conservation and reuse efforts, as well as water loss reduction and prevention, to protect water resources for the future. Examples include:
Component
Cost
Item 1:
Installing or retrofitting water efficient devices such as plumbing fixtures and appliances (toilets, showerheads, urinals).
Item 2:
Installing any type of water meter in previously unmetered areas (can include backflow prevention if in conjunction with meter replacement).
Item 3:
Replacing existing broken/malfunctioning water meters with AMR or smart meters, meters with leak detection, backflow prevention
Item 4:
Retrofitting/Adding AMR capabilities or leak equipment to existing meters.
Item 5:
Developing water audit and conservation plans, which are reasonably expected to result in a capital project.
Item 6:
Recycling and water reuse projects that replace potable sources with non-potable sources (Gray water, condensate, and wastewater effluent reuse systems, extra treatment or distribution costs associated with water reuse).
Item 7:
Retrofit or replacement of existing landscape irrigation/agricultural systems to more efficient landscape/agricultural irrigation systems (rain and moisture sensing equipment)
Item 8:
Water meter replacement with traditional water meters.*
Item 9:
Projects that result from a water audit or water conservation plan.*
Item 10:
