Abstract
Tetra Tech was contracted by Athens-Clarke
County (ACC) for assistance in developing a Watershed
Management Program to proactively reduce non-point
source pollution associated with urban runoff and improve
the overall health of the community’s watersheds. An initial
study program was developed in 2008 for three subwatersheds;
Brooklyn, Hunnicutt, and Trail Creek. In
2011, there additional watersheds; Tanyard, Cedar, and
Shoal Creek were included. Significant improvements to
the watershed management planning process were
achieved through the inclusion of a site-scale model capable
of evaluating and optimizing proposed management
measures.
