Abstract
As part of the implementation of
watershed protection strategies associated with the
renewal of surface water discharge permits, municipal
and county governments are increasingly addressing
water quality in receiving waters downstream from
development. Goals have been established that may
require some portion of existing stormwater
management systems to be retrofitted to address water
quality. Fulton County, Georgia is in the process of
developing a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to
address these and other concerns. The CIP is an
attempt to meet the approximately $265 M in identified
needs. A portion of these needs is dedicated towards
retrofitting existing stormwater detention facilities. A
screening procedure has been developed to broadly
evaluate retrofit criteria.
