FROM 1A Reservoir Jessica Taylor Dawson County News Etowah Water and Sewer Authority General Manager Brooke Anderson discusses the Russell Creek Reservoir project during a public informational meeting on April 11. able to provide a better and “much more environmen tally sensitive solution,” according to Anderson. The existing water treat ment plant just south of Hwy. 53 on the Etowah River already has an intake pump station, built in 2009, that can be modified instead of constructing a second water intake pump. “Through some modifi cation, the engineers have determined we can modify that pump station and pump through a 30-inch water line along the Etowah River and fill the reservoir from the intake pump station that we cur rently have,” Anderson said. The water line will be constructed behind a stream buffer and will allow the authority to pump water out of the river one time. Then, through the use of gravity flow, the water will flow back to the plant for treat ment. A principle spillway for the reservoir will also be constructed as part of the project, with gates at dif ferent depths to collect water at varying tempera tures. “In the summertime and even the winter, the lake can get hot on top and cold on the bottom or a lot of different things based on climate and temperature, but we still have to protect the aquatic species in Russell Creek and in the Etowah,” Anderson said. “The gates at different depths will allow water to be drawn at different tem peratures and mix that water so that the water that is released from the reser voir into this creek will match the temperature of the river.” The gates will also allow the authority to con trol the turbidity, or the amount of particles in the water, and the quality of water that is sent to the plant for treatment. “When it’s raining, you get a lot of silt or whatever runs into the lake. The top layer’s going to be dirty, but we can pull in water from the lower depth and vice versa if the water’s settled during different times of the year,” Anderson said. Construction of a 700-foot-long, 700-foot- wide and 110-foot-deep earthen dam is still sched uled to begin in the first quarter of 2021, but the specialized construction of the water pipe on the left abutment of the dam will begin in early 2020. A 12-foot tunnel on the left abutment will be exca vated for placement of the 30-inch water line and a 72-inch storm water pipe which will allow the new dam to be free of penetrat ing lines that could com promise its structural integrity. Once the tunnel is con structed, it will be used to divert water from the exist ing reservoir while the new dam is being con structed. “We’ll be able to divert the existing creek flow through that tunnel and allow for a dry construc tion of this dam,” Anderson said. An auxiliary spillway that will be 300 feet wide and 1,000 feet long, and a mix of grass, rock, gravel and dirt is also being con structed, and Anderson said the authority envi sions putting some picnic pavilions, a boat ramp and a boat dock in that area. Non-gas powered boats such as canoes, kayaks and boats with electric motors, would be allowed on the lake. Fishing along the bank is also envi sioned. After the necessary structures have been built, it will take a year to fill the reservoir, which Anderson expects to be completed by the summer of 2024. “That will bring togeth er a 20-year project,” Anderson said. “By the time we get to 2024, we’re two years shy of 20 years to make this project hap pen and that will be a jubi lant day to say the least.” Two more informational meetings will take place in May and June. Dates have not been set at this time.
