Attachments Engineering Services Committee Meeting 2/28/2017 1:10 PM 319(h) Grant_ Development of 9-Element Watershed Management Plan Department:Engineering Presenter:Abie L. 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 the Augusta, GA’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 state 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 in Rocky Creek Watershed. Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) evaluated and recommended both applications to US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for funding. However, one of the pre-requisite for EPA to fund 319(h) grant is development of 9-Element Watershed Restoration Plan (if not already in place). There is no existing watershed restoration plan for Rocky Creek Watershed and it needs to be developed. Analysis:Development of 9-Element Watershed Management Plan for selected watersheds in Savannah River Basin is critical for receiving future 319 grants in addition to already approved two FY-16 grants. PCWS under existing MOU is collaborating in these grants and will develop this plan. Four (4) of Augusta creeks are listed as impaired waterbodies and do not support their designated use. The 319 Grants allow AED to optimize Augusta MS4 NPDES Stormwater Management Program. There are minimum matching funds required. AED will meet this need primarily by offering in-kind services such as staff time. AED will also utilize $5,000 of its stormwater services contractual program. Cover Memo Item # 1 Financial Impact:By accepting this Grant, AED will receive $40,000 in federal funds. AED will provide $10,226 matching non-federal funds [$5,226 in-kind, and $5,000 from Stormwater Services Contractual Program]. Alternatives:1). 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 the Augusta, GA’s Mayor to sign all documentation as requested by the AED. 2). Do not approve and drop the 319(h) FY-16 funding acceptance for the approved two (2) grants. Recommendation:Approve Alternative Number One. Funds are Available in the Following Accounts: $5,226 in-kind; $5,000 in SWU Contract Services REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Finance. Law. Administrator. Clerk of Commission Cover Memo Item # 1 Development of a Nine-Element Watershed Management Plan 1 APPENDIX A SCOPE OF WORK ELEMENT 15 FY2015 Section 319(h) Grant 1. Project Title: Development of a Nine-Element Watershed Management Plan for the Augusta Canal (HUC-12 #030601060601) / Butler Creek (HUC-12 #030601060602) / Beaverdam Ditch (HUC-12 #030601060607) Watersheds in Savannah River Basin 2.

Project Goals: The goal of this project is for Augusta-Richmond County to develop a nine-element watershed management plan (WMP) for the Augusta Canal (HUC-12 #030601060601) / Butler Creek (HUC-12 #030601060602) / Beaverdam Ditch (HUC-12 #030601060607) watersheds in the Savannah River Basin. The WMP will address the impaired streams in the watershed that are not supporting their designated uses on the 2014 Georgia 305(b)/303(d) List of Waters, and target Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) established by Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) for the impairments. Following USEPA and GAEPD guidelines for watershed planning, the WMP development process will assess current best management practices (BMPs) to determine whether they have been effective in reducing the pollutants. Local stakeholders, governments and other Attachment number 1 \nPage 1 of 14 Item # 1 Development of a Nine-Element Watershed Management Plan 2 organizations will be engaged/re-engaged as watershed partners. Issues of concern and land-use data will be updated and evaluated. Water quality data will be collected and analyzed. Pollutant load limits will be quantified and compared to required TMDLs and load reductions. Management practices specifically designed to achieve the explicit load allocations will be recommended and implementation milestones will be targeted. A long-term monitoring plan will be designed. STEPL MODEL USEPA or Region V Model, along with previous management efforts, will be applied to estimate load reduction expectations from BMPs. Final strategies for the WMP will be developed. Once Georgia EPD approves the WMP, watershed partners will be in a position to implement recommended BMPs. Strong and diversely broad partnerships formed within the watershed will enable stakeholders to achieve the goals set in the plan. 4. Project Background: The GAEPD’s 2014 Integrated 305(b)/303(d) List of Waters identifies four stream segments in the three HUC-12 watersheds as not meeting water quality standards for fecal coliform, three for biota fish, and two for biota macroinvertebrates: http://epd.georgia.gov/sites/epd.georgia.gov/files/related_files/site_page/CY_2014_305b303d_St reams.pdf  Butler Creek (Boardmans Pond to Phinizy Ditch (formerly to SR 56)), 9 miles in Richmond County;  Butler Creek (Phinizy Ditch to Savannah River, Augusta), 3 miles in Richmond County;  Rae’s Creek (Headwaters to Cranes Creek), 4 miles in Richmond County;  Reed Creek (Rd.

Total Daily Maximum Loads (TMDLs) for fecal coliform were completed in 2000 for one segment of Butler Creek (Phinizy Ditch to Savannah River, Augusta) http://epd.georgia.gov/sites/epd.georgia.gov/files/related_files/site_page/EPA_Butler_Creek_Fec al_TMDL.pdf and one Rocky Creek segment (SR 56 to below New Savannah Road, Augusta) http://epd.georgia.gov/sites/epd.georgia.gov/files/related_files/site_page/EPA_Rocky_Creek_Fec al_TMDL.pdf ; and in 2000, updated in 2005, for Reed Creek http://epd.georgia.gov/sites/epd.georgia.gov/files/related_files/site_page/EPA_Reed_Creek_Feca l_TMDL.pdf (2000) http://epd.georgia.gov/sites/epd.georgia.gov/files/related_files/site_page/Final_Savannah_Fecal_ TMDL.pdf (2005) A DRAFT fecal coliform TMDL for the other segment of Butler Creek (Boardmans Pond to Phinizy Ditch (formerly to SR 56)) http://epd.georgia.gov/sites/epd.georgia.gov/files/related_files/site_page/Savannah%20Fecal%20 Coliform%20TMDL%20Report%20%5B2016%5D.pdf and DRAFT biota macroinvertebrate TMDLs for both segments of Rocky Creek plus DRAFT biota fish TMDLs for Rae’s Creek and both segments of Rocky Creek http://epd.georgia.gov/sites/epd.georgia.gov/files/related_files/site_page/Savannah%20Biota%20 Impacted%20TMDL%20Report%20%5B2016%5D.pdf were all developed in 2016 and are pending final USEPA approval. Attachment number 1 \nPage 2 of 14 Item # 1 Development of a Nine-Element Watershed Management Plan 3 Bacteria Impairment Fecal coliform TMDL Implementation Plans for the HUC-10 #0306010606 watershed (formerly #0306010605) were written in 2002 for Butler Creek (Phinizy Ditch to Savannah River, Augusta) http://epd.georgia.gov/sites/epd.georgia.gov/files/tmdl/TMDL_Implementation_Plans/Savannah/ 0306010605/TMDLIP_ButlerCreek_FC_0306010605_Y2002.pdf and Rocky Creek (SR 56 to below New Savannah Road, Augusta) http://epd.georgia.gov/sites/epd.georgia.gov/files/tmdl/TMDL_Implementation_Plans/Savannah/ 0306010605/TMDLIP_RockyCreek_FC_0306010605_Y2002.pdf and Reed Creek (Rd. S1727 to Bowen Pond near Martinez) http://epd.georgia.gov/sites/epd.georgia.gov/files/tmdl/TMDL_Implementation_Plans/Savannah/ 0306010605/TMDLIP_ReedCreek_FC_0306010605_Y2002.pdf According to the plans and/or the TMDLs, possible non-point sources (NPS) that contribute to fecal coliform bacteria impairment include stormwater runoff from surrounding urban land uses; undetected septic or sewer leakage; and possible wildlife. The following recommendations were made to reduce non-point source (NPS) pollutant loads of bacteria in Butler Creek (Phinizy Ditch to Savannah River, Augusta) by 98%, in Rocky Creek by 80% and in Reed Creek by 75% (2005 TMDL, pages v and 33) and in Butler Creek (Boardmans Pond to Phinizy Ditch (formerly to SR 56)) by 49% (2016 DRAFT TMDL pages vi and 25):  Septic tank survey to determine the number, age and functionality of the septic tanks  Additional proactive measures to prevent leaks and spills from the sanitary sewer system  Educational programs in the curricula of local schools  Initiate a public educational campaign in the form of television, radio and print announcements and advertisements  Adopt the Georgia Stormwater Management Manual as a policy for local development in regulating stormwater flow in developing areas of the watershed  Manage stormwater runoff through methods like erosion control and the establishment of green spaces, park lands, and stream buffers  Consistent water quality monitoring tied by school groups, concerned citizen groups, or County officials. Biota Impacted According to the TMDL, a healthy aquatic ecosystem requires a healthy habitat. The possible non-point sources (NPS) of sediment that may contribute to biota impacted macroinvertebrate and fish impairment are eroded soils from timber harvesting; cropland and livestock grazing; mining sites; unpaved roads; and urban land disturbance and impervious surfaces. The TMDL recommended that there be no net increase in sediment delivered to the impaired stream segments, so that these streams will recover over time. The following recommendations were made in the TMDL to control current non-point sources (NPS) of sediment entering Rae’s Creek and both segments of Rocky Creek in order to maintain and/or reduce the total allowable sediment loads at current levels (2016 DRAFT TMDL pages viii and 45):  Implementation of Georgia’s Best Management Practices for Forestry (GFC, 2009);  Implementation of Best Management Practices for Georgia Agriculture (GSWCC, 2013) and Adoption of NRCS Conservation Practices for agriculture;  Adherence to the Surface Mining Land Use Plan prepared as part of the Surface Mining Permit Application;  Implementation of the Georgia Better Back Roads Field Manual (GA RCDC, 2009) and Attachment number 1 \nPage 3 of 14 Item # 1 Development of a Nine-Element Watershed Management Plan 4 adoption of additional practices for proper unpaved road maintenance;  Implementation of individual Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plans for land disturbing activities; and application of the Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control in Georgia (GSWCC, 2014); and  Implementation of the Georgia Stormwater Management Manual (ARC, 2001) to facilitate prevention and mitigation of stream bank erosion due to increased stream flow and velocities caused by urban runoff through structural storm water BMP installation. In addition, the TMDL states that the most common cause of low IBI (fish) and MMI (benthic macroinvertebrates) scores is the lack of in-stream habitat due to stream sedimentation. Habitat and aquatic communities can be slow to respond to changes in sediment loading, which is why assessment and monitoring must continue to gauge whether BMP implementations have improved stream habitats and water quality, representing an indirect measurement of the TMDL. 5.
