Gwinnett's Crooked Creek to Get Cleaner
Published Oct 2, 2007
The Crooked Creek watershed in southwestern Gwinnett County is listed as one of the most in need of protection and cleanup. This month, construction will begin on expanding two detention ponds to help protect the channel and remove pollutants.
The ponds are located behind the Conifer Crossing Apartments near the intersection of Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Holcomb Bridge Road. The expanded ponds will be about double their current size and will include erosion control measures, water quality features and wetland plantings.
Water Resources Director Frank Stephens said a majority of the roughly $589,000 cost will be paid by a grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. District 2 Commissioner Bert Nasuti added that, “This pond restoration project is another example of how the County is working to maintain and improve the infrastructure in older parts of the county.”
The Board of Commissioners awarded the contract to the low bidder, The Dickerson Group, at Tuesday’s regular meeting.
