South Fork Conservancy/Peachtree Creek
Georgia’s 2017 CLEAN WATER HEROES South Fork Conservancy PEACHTREE CREEK Creek Conservancy Group Connects Neighborhoods, Streams INTRODUCTION: If Peachtree Street is the iconic thoroughfare of Atlanta, the creek that gives the street (and countless others) its name must also be the iconic waterway of the city. But, as is the case with so many of Atlanta’s urban streams, Peachtree Creek, once a waterway where people gathered at ferries, farms, mills and baptism pools, was bridged, bulldozed and forgotten, its banks overgrown with kudzu and privet and inaccessible except for the hardiest of explorers. PEACHTREE In stepped a group of citizens that saw the potential for Peachtree Creek to CREEK reconnect communities—from apartment complexes to reclaimed industrial sites—through a trail and parks system that would reunite Atlantans with this historic creek. Since 2008, the South Fork Conservancy (SFC) has established some five miles of creekside trails and restored dozens of acres of land through the removal of invasive plants and reintroduction of native species. The group even played a role in the remediation of a 12-acre hazardous waste site that now is home to one of SFC’s signature trails. THE WATER BODY: Peachtree Creek, formed by its north and south forks which join in the shadows of I-85 near Piedmont Road, is Atlanta’s iconic creek. It was at one time the source of many Atlantans’ drinking water, powered their grist mills and provided them with a livelihood. Along its banks in 1864, more than 4,000 soldiers died in the Battle of Peachtree Creek during the Civil War.

Case Study Models for a Regenerative Economy: Built Environment Impacts in the Southeast Historic Fourth Ward Park, Atlanta, Georgia (2012-Present) Prepared by Bailey Shea, Program Coordinator for Policy Overview1,2 Funding Sources: Atlanta Beltline, Inc.; City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management; Historic Fourth Ward Park Conservancy; Trust for Public Land; Woodruff Foundation Project cost: $18 million (Budgeted at $23 million) Building size: 17.5 acres, including 2-acre reservoir Features: Clear Creek Basin (100-year flood capacity reservoir); Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark; playground and splash pad; Atlanta Beltline connectivity; Fully ADA compliant Historic Fourth Ward Park, specifically its crowning jewel, Clear Creek Basin, has dramatically reduced flooding in the area, which was once a brownfield filled with abandoned warehouses and Clear Creek Basin at the Historic Fourth Ward Park in Atlanta parking lots. Built Environment Impact The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management initially proposed a grey infrastructure solution to the runoff and flooding problems that would cost $40 million, but this park—as recommended by a coalition of community members—was budgeted at $23 million and came in under budget at approximately $18 million. The community-envisioned park, with its innovative green infrastructure centered design, saved the City over $20 million and added nature and a neighborhood amenity to the community by forgoing a traditional “hardscaping” or “grey infrastructure” solution of a new pipe system. Green infrastructure uses natural landscaping elements to allow nature to do much of the work to reduce flooding, filter out pollutants and reduce capacity needs of municipal stormwater infrastructure. When stormwater flows are treated, absorbed and/or completely managed by green infrastructure, this may be referred to as a form of passive stormwater management, and the safe, low-impact return of water to urban ecosystems is an example of regenerative design in action.
