City of Conyers, GA, 1184 Scott Street, SE, Conyers, Georgia, 30012
To control excessive flooding during and after a rain event.
These projects will include the upgrading and replacement of detention/retention ponds, storm drain lines, drain structures, ditch swales, pipe culverts, manholes and headwalls.
The current storm water system in the City of Conyers is unable to handle the storm water runoff from even a moderate rainfall because of the dramatic growth and the antiquated storm water system. Additionally, portions of the storm water system are over 100 hundred years old and are experiencing failures throughout the system. These failures and the larger volume of water have dramatically increased the amount of water that is seeping into the sanitary sewer system, thereby, creating a strain on that system and at times causing untreated sewage to be released into our local streams and rivers. Currently, several of those tributaries are on the State of Georgia list of impaired streams and are subject to routine monitoring by the city because of the level of contaminants contained within them.

Lower Yellow River-Pew Creek
Project number PE-133-S is located along Pew Creek in the Lower Yellow River watershed. This project ranks highly in the Lower Yellow River Watershed Protection Plan for pollutant removal. The project consists of stabilizing the stream channel and stream banks, re-vegetation, creating a stormwater feature that treats and removes pollutants during storm events, and passive recreation trails. Total length of stream project is 2350 feet on 3 acres of property owned by Gwinnett County.

Chattahoochee Tributaries-Richland Creek
Project Number RC-255-S-A is a priority project in the Chattahoochee Tributaries Watershed Improvement Plan. The project in located on 14 acres owned by the Lanier Springs Homeowners Association. The project is located within the Richland Creek, a tributary to the Chattahoochee River. The project consists of restoring the stream channel and aquatic habitat, re-vegetating, and stabilizing eroding stream banks. The length of stream to be restored is 5,688 linear feet. The stream currently is entrenched and severely incised. Restoration activities would improve aquatic habitat and water quality.
Request Amount: $2.4 million

Chattahoochee Tributaries-Suwannee River
Project number LS-184-S is located partially on property already owned the Gwinnett County (Peachtree Industrial Pump Station). The stream restoration project is located along Suwannee Creek which is listed as currently not meeting waters quality standards. The project is located in a dense industrial area and would require substantial restoration activities including stream bank grading and stabilization, in-stream grade control structures, creation of an off line stormwater pond, and re-establishing more natural stream patterns.
Request Amount: $2 million

Lower Yellow River-Jacks Creek
Located within the Jacks Creek watershed in the Lower Yellow River, project JC-5224-E would provide substantial pollutant removal. Retro-fitting an existing wet pond located entirely within Gwinnett County property would provide both water quality and channel protection benefits to the downstream area. The proposed retro-fit includes lowering the current water level and modifying the outlet control structure to regulate flow. Dredging the pond would also allow increased storage capacity. A forebay would be constructed to further trap sediment and pollutants.
