Comments sought on sewer line through Chattahoochee Rec Area
The public has until July 24 to review and comment on plans for a sewer line through a portion of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, the National Park Service announced.
The Park Service is considering issuing a special use permit to let the Fulton County Department of Public Works install a new, diversion sewer line roughly 1.2 miles long and 20 feet wide in the Johnson Ferry North unit of the park. The line would connect with a Cobb County Water System line.
"The sewer line provides a bypass system during the upgrade of the Big Creek Water Reclamation Facility," the Park Service said. "The upgrade is to accommodate an increase in wastewater treatment demand that has resulted from the urbanization of the surrounding area and alleviate the sewage overflows into the Chattahoochee River."
The comment period closes at 1:59 a.m., July 24.
