Colonel Howard L.
Strohecker, Savannah District
Engineer for the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers,
headquartered in Savannah,
Ga., announced that his office
has initiated a comprehensive
urban water resources study for
the metropolitan Atlanta area.
The counties presently included
in the study are Clayton, Cobb,
Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas,
Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton,
Gwinnett, Henry and Rockdale.
“This is one of the first in a
series of urban studies nation
wide,” Colonel Strohecker said,
“that will make the Corps of
Engineers a participant with
State and local entities in urban
area comprehensive planning.”
He added, “the Atlanta urban
study is one of two studies in
the Southeastern States, and the
first one assigned is Savannah
District.” The other study is in
Florida and is assigned to the
Mobile District.
The study was authorized by a
U.S. Senate Public Works
Committee Resolution, adopted
Mar. 2, 1972, at the request of
Senator Herman E. Talmadge.
Colonel Strohecker said that
“the study will include for the
most part, consideration of the
needs for flood control, flood
plain management, wastewater
management systems, regional
water supplies, water quality
control, general recreation, fish
and wildlife conservation, and

He said that these in
vestigations will be coordinated
with the State of Georgia, local
authorities, Federal agencies,
and the citizenry.
“Results of the study will
provide decision-makers with
practical alternative choices in
the use of water and related
land resources in the urban
environment,” Colonel
Strohecker stated.
The overall study will take 3%
years to complete. However,
the Engineers will complete an
interim report on wastewater
management facilities at an

earlier date. The wastewater
management study will deal
with the treatment of municipal
and industrial wastewaters and
urban stormwater runoff en

High priority will be given to
the formulation of alternative
wastewater management plans.
Each plan will be evaluated on a
cost-effectiveness basis, and
tradeoffs against a social
environmental assessment.
