Abstract
Fulton County, Georgia is developing
comprehensive water resources management plans for
its watersheds based on water reclamation facility
(WRF) service areas, including Big Creek, Camp
Creek, Deep Creek, Johns Creek, Little River, and
Sandy Springs. The Water Resources Management
Plans (WRMPs) are required by the County’s National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit for the Camp Creek WRF expansion and the
County’s stormwater NPDES permit. Camp Dresser &
McKee Inc. (CDM) prepared the Big Creek WRMP.
The management plans are addressing water quality
(chemistry), habitat protection, water supply protection,
flooding, and erosion to develop a sustainable water
resources plan. The plans will include solutions to
existing problems and fair and equitable development
criteria to avoid problems from occurring in the future.
CDM has also contributed to the Volume 1 Executive
Summary and Volume 2 Methodology. These volumes
contain summaries of the public information and
involvement, data collection, infrastructure inventory,
watershed characterization, hydraulic modeling, water
quality modeling, and WRMP efforts.
This paper presents an overview of the program
goals, constraints, data evaluations, computer analysis
tools, and recommended management plan components
for a sustainable stream.
