319(h) Nonpoint Source Implementation Grant_FY16 - Biota Implementation in an Urban Stream
through Aquatic Habitat Restoration
Department:Engineering Department
Presenter:Abie Ladson, Director
Caption:Approve and authorize the Engineering Department (AED) to
accept and receive federal financial assistance through Section
319(h) Nonpoint Source Implication Grant Program. Also, grant
authorization permitting Augusta’s Mayor to sign all
documentation as requested by the AED.
Background:The Clean Water Act Section 319(h) Water Quality Grant funds,
support activities to identify and implement projects for reduction
of prioritized risks and concerns in the community such as source
assessment and control of pollutant of interest load within the
state’s listed impaired water bodies. During 2016, AED in
partnering with Phinizy Center for Water Sciences (PCWS)
submitted two (2) separate applications to seek federal funds for
various activities associated with surface water quality
improvement program. Biota grant targeted activities include
restoring healthy macroinvertebrate and fish through instream
aquatic habitat restoration practices. As a team, AED and PCWS
staff will work together to install and manage various management
features, and monitor improvement in habitat population. This
program will allow AED to optimize its MS4 NPDES stormwater
Management Program.
Analysis:With increasing regulatory demands for stormwater point source
pollutants, load reduction in receiving waterbodies, the
management of stormwater quantity and quality through
regulatory permitting is taking a focal point. Four of Augusta
creeks are listed as impaired waterbodies and do not support their
designated use. The pollutant of concern is fecal coliform (FC)
and sediment. Under MS4 stormwater management permitting
program US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and
Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) are requiring
localities to develop and implement programs to manage and
reduce pollutants of concerns in impaired watersheds. AED will

3. Project Goals:
This project will implement a combination of plans together comprising a 9-element watershed management plan for Rocky Creek in Augusta, GA. Project activities will address
water quality throughout an 8-mile portion of Rocky Creek in the HUC 12 (030601060607)
watershed of Richmond County. The State of Georgia, through its integrated Section
305(b)/303(d) List of Waters, has identified a 2-mile reach from SR 56 to below New Savannah
Road, Augusta as impaired for Fecal Coliform, Bio M and Bio F. The remaining 6 miles from Headwaters to SR 56 (formerly Headwaters to Phinizy Ditch) is listed as impaired for Bio M and
Bio F.
This project is intended to achieve a “50% improvement” in the biotic impairments by
moving the stream from a fish IBI of 16 and a macroinvertebrate score of 11 to a fish IBI of >34 and a macroinvertebrate score of >30. This improvement will be documented through pre- and
post-monitoring efforts using GAEPD/GADNR standard protocols for sampling fish in streams.

Aquatic Habitat Restoration Augusta-Richmond County
Section 319(h) FY2016 Project 2
(GADNR, 2005-Standard operating procedures for conducting biomonitoring on fish
communities in wadeable streams in Georgia) and macroinvertebrates (GAEPD, 2007-
Macroinvertebrate Biological Assessment of Wadeable Streams in Georgia; Standard Operating Procedures)
The project intends to restore healthy macroinvertebrate and fish through instream aquatic
habitat restoration practices. Habitat will be restored by directly adding new structures to the
stream that will encourage a more natural riffle-pool geomorphology over time and support
habitat diversity. The restoration of a healthy biological community may also help to decrease fecal coliform concentrations based on a food web theory that is well-supported by existing
science. The approach to habitat restoration will be almost entirely by hand and will not involve
the use of heavy equipment or earth moving at any significant level. Structures that can be
installed by hand will use the power of the stream to move any earth and alter geomorphology.
Best Management Practice installation will target a minimum of 0.5 stream miles (2640
linear feet) along the 6-mile “Headwaters to SR56” reach and will include several features along
that distance with a spacing of approximately one feature every 50-200 ft. This will result in a
minimum of 25 features depending on the total stream miles restored. A library of choices for
features is outlined below, but final selection will be based on a walking assessment of what is currently most functional and successful for habitat in the stream. The primary purpose of the
BMPs will be habitat restoration since the TMDL does not call for further reduction in sediment.
However, since urban areas still create elevated sedimentation, and since stream bank erosion
has been observed, reduction of sediment may improve biotic health further and will be pursued
as an ancillary benefit of habitat BMPs. This will be achieved through reducing in-stream bank erosion as several of the BMP options have the ability to protect banks from further erosion
caused by extended durations of elevated flows characteristic of urban hydrology. We feel this
section of Rocky Creek no longer receives significant sediment loads from external sources but
now receives too much stream power from runoff which results in stream bed and bank erosion.
Therefore, the BMPs selected for this project are intended to stabilize the creek bed and banks so it provides long term habitat as opposed to unconsolidated stream bed and bank sediments.
The following potential BMP options for aquatic habitat restoration will be used, and some
may be used more than others. Choices will be based on the suitability of the stream upon further
survey and the results of an assessment of currently successful habitat types in Rocky Creek to predict the options most likely to succeed. The following are taken from the GAEPD Streambank
and Shoreline Stabilization Guide, an NC State Extension Guide to In-Stream Structures, and an
NC State Stream Restoration Handbook.
In addition, other options or option components that are currently known to enhance habitat may also be included such as overhanging woody vegetation, erratic rocks, boulder clusters,
large woody debris, and woody or rocky channel constriction structures.

4. Project Background: Previous assessments and watershed plans indicate that macroinvertebrates, as well as fish,
have suffered from a lack of available habitat due to historic sedimentation and urban hydrology.
While modeling efforts have indicated that the sediment loads have been reduced to acceptable levels, visual survey makes evident that habitat has not improved sufficiently on its own to
support macroinvertebrate and fish communities. Visual survey also indicates that streambank
erosion may be going on in the channel, contributing an un-modeled source of sediment.
This project intends to develop and restore in-stream habitat for macroinvertebrates and fish that has been destroyed or removed by sedimentation and other factors of urban development.
Also, improving the fish and macroinvertebrate community, and the overall food web will create
an environment that is less hospitable for fecal bacteria. This theory is based on research
suggesting the survival and growth of fecal bacteria in sediments under environmental conditions
(Pachepsky and Shelton, 2001; Anderson, et al. 1995; Marino and Gannon, 1991). In addition, studies indicate that bacterial populations are controlled by predation and competition as much or
more as by resource availability (Ansa et al., 2014; Davies et al., 1995; Marino and Gannon,
1991). If populations of naturally occurring bacteria predators have been stressed to a high
degree, it is reasonable to conclude that this could be a significant cause for high concentrations
of bacteria.
Fish & Macroinvertebrate Community Assessments
In 2016 both the 2-mile and 6-mile segments of Rocky Creek were rated in a TMDL (4a
status) developed for fish and macroinvertebrate community populations. The data collected on
fish diversity resulted in an Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) and a modified Index of Well-Being (IWB) for Rocky Creek as Very Poor. In addition, multi-metric indices and a numerical scoring
system to assess the biotic integrity of benthic macroinvertebrates resulted in a rating of Very
Poor for Rocky Creek.

Approve the execution of the resolution and contract authorizing financial reimbursement from
Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division (EPD)
Department:Environmental Services
Presenter:Mark Johnson
Caption:Approve the execution of the resolution and contract authorizing
financial reimbursement from Georgia’s Environmental Protection
Division (EPD).
Background:The State of Georgia created the Hazardous Waste Trust Fund
(Trust Fund) as part of the Georgia Hazardous Site Response Act
of 1992 to assist local governments with groundwater
investigation and remediation (“clean-up”) costs at solid waste
handling facilities. A facility must first be listed on the Hazardous
Site Inventory (HSI) to be eligible for reimbursement of
remediation costs. Listing on the HSI can occur after Georgia
Department of Natural Resources Environmental Protection
Division (EPD) identifies a groundwater quality exceedance above
a regulatory threshold through the permit required monitoring
program. The Deans Bridge Road Municipal Solid Waste Landfill,
Phase IIA/B was listed on the HSI by EPD in 2006. Since that
listing, the Environmental Services Department has expended
efforts to investigate the extents of the issues as well as implement
actions to remediate the issues. These efforts have been
coordinated through the EPD as part of an Assessment Monitoring
Plan (AMP) and an Assessment of Corrective Measures (ACM).
After meeting the following requirements, Augusta is eligible for
reimbursement of qualifying groundwater investigation and clean-
up costs: (a) Site is a solid waste handling facility listed on the
Hazardous Site Inventory; (b) Director has notified the local
government in writing that they are the responsible party for the
site; (c) The local government has entered into a contract with
EPD which describes the financial assistance provided and the
activities for which the monies shall be used; (d) The local
government has accounting system in accordance with the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board; (e) The local
government has adopted an authorizing resolution; (f) The local
government has submitted to EPD a completed application for
financial assistance on forms as provided by the Director; and (g)
Cover Memo
Item # 2
The local government has submitted to EPD a written statement of
the percentage of total costs associated with the actions described
in Rule 391-3-19-.09(4)(a) for which a state or local government
is liable; includes a description of how such percentage was
determined including the results of negotiations with any other
responsible parties for the site. Furthermore, the Trust Fund must
be replenished by the State each fiscal year and the unencumbered
balance must exceed $4.0 million for reimbursements to occur.
These conditions have recently been met and as such the
Environmental Services Department has commenced with the
reimbursement application process. On May 19, 2015 the
commission authorized ESD to submit the application for
reimbursement for costs associated with groundwater
investigation and remediation. ESD then created and submitted a
package requesting reimbursement funds.
Analysis:On October 10, 2016 the department received correspondence
indicating that EPD was willing to reimburse for the cost
requested in accordance with their program. The applications
submitted for review included environmental monitoring expenses
as well as expenses related to installation of the landfill gas
collection system installed within the affected area. While
approved environmental monitoring expenses are reimbursed at
100%, approved expenses related to the landfill gas system are
reimbursed at 50%. Further, all expenses greater than $500,000
are reimbursed at 50% of the allowed amount.
Financial Impact:Augusta will be receiving $703.066.00 from EPD upon contract
execution.
Alternatives:Do not execute contract and forego state reimbursement
Recommendation:Approve the execution of the resolution and contract authorizing
financial reimbursement from Georgia’s Environmental Protection
Division (EPD).

Construction Management, Construction Inspection and Field
Engineering (CM_CI_FE) Services contract in the amount of
$750,000. Funding is available in AED SPLOST VII On Call
Emergency Construction, as requested by AED.
Background:Due to the on-going infrastructure improvements for small scale
projects, the increase in infrastructure maintenance, and
emergency repairs to aging storm conveyance infrastructures
within the county, a significant strain has been placed upon
AED’s in house engineering resources. With the progressing
Stormwater Utility Program, there is also an increase in need for
field engineering services to complete these small scale
stormwater projects and other infrastructure projects in a cost
effective timely manner. It is AED’s resolves to rectify this
situation by continuing to supplement its engineering resources
with On-Call Field Engineering Services. The assistance of
outside Field Engineering services will only be temporary and will
help insure a quality finish product.It is a practical approach to
sustain timely response to health and safety risk concerns, and
much needed design quality control during design and
construction phase of a project. Project QA/QC is essential to
construction of good infrastructure.
Analysis:On February 4, 2014, the Augusta Commission approved the On-
Call Construction Management, Construction Services and Field
Engineering contract to EMC Engineering, Moreland Altobelli,
AMEC Environmental & Infrastructure, and Michael Baker, Jr.
Inc. Additional funds allocation to this contract is needed to
maintain the required level of services for on going and upcoming
