GDOT changed the speed limit signs in early September. Construction on the Hickory Road & Palm Street Intersection Improvements is underway. Georgia Development Partners has started grading for the new roadway between Walnut Street and the new roundabout on Hickory Road just east of Cherokee County Fire Station #8. This project will be under construction for approximately twelve months. The project will also include an additional western travel lane on Hickory Road, elimination of the stop sign on Hickory Road east of the railroad and the conversion of the intersection of Palm Street at Hickory Road to a right-in/right-out configuration. The 2019 Local Maintenance Improvement Grant (LMIG) & Asphalt Resurfacing Project will be completed in early October. The traffic signal loop replacement phase of the project has been completed on Hickory Road and road striping should be completed soon. This project included resurfacing and repairs on Hickory Road, Palm Street, Rabbit Hill Road and Spring Way Square. The City of Holly Springs approved the 2020 LMIG on August 19th. The 2020 LMIG includes resurfacing and repairs on Morgan Road from Toonigh Road to Hickory Road and Hickory Springs Industrial Drive. A-1 Contracting completed the Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) Phase II Project in September. The LCI Project included improvements to Holly Springs Parkway from L.R. Tippens Education Center to Pine Crest Road including sidewalks, stormwater improvements, lamp posts and new traffic light mast arms and equipment at the intersection of Holly Springs Parkway and Pine Crest Road. The City of Holly Springs has acquired all necessary right-of-way for the Palm Street Stormwater Project near Palm Lake. The project is currently under design and will be ready to go to bid this fall. Upon completion, this project will address flooding and drainage problems along Palm Street from Palm Lake Drive to Toonigh Creek. The cities of Canton, Holly Springs, Mountain Park, Waleska and Woodstock entered into mediation with Cherokee County on August 6th. The purpose of the mediation is to negotiate the ten-year Service Delivery Strategy (SDS) among the cities and the county. The SDS is required to be updated and submitted to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs every ten years for approval. The cities and the county have not been able to reach an agreement regarding the classification of county-wide services and property tax inequity issues. We will continue to negotiate with the county to ensure that our residents do not pay taxes for services that they do not receive. WE ARE HERE TO SERVE. FALL19.indd 1 9/13/19 9:04 AM Stormwater Program Update Millage Rate Update On August 5th, the City Council approved the proposed 2019 millage rate at 4.610 mills. The millage rate adopted Water pollution degrades surface waters making them unsafe for drinking, fishing, swimming, and other activities. As authorized by the by City Council represents a reduction in the millage rate from the prior year. The Cherokee County Board of Clean Water Act, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program controls water pollution by regulating point sources that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. Point sources are discrete conveyances such as pipes or man-made ditches. Commissioners adopted the fire district millage rate on at 3.269 mills. Individual homes that are connected to a municipal system, use a septic system, or do not have a surface discharge do not need an NPDES permit; however, industrial, municipal, and other facilities must obtain permits if their discharges go directly to surface waters. Since its introduction in 1972, the NPDES permit program is responsible for significant improvements to our Nation’s water quality. Polluted stormwater runoff is commonly transported through Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s), from which it is often discharged untreated into local waterbodies. An MS4 is a conveyance or system of conveyances that is 1) owned by a state, city, town, village, or other public entity that discharges to waters of the U.S.; 2) designed or used to collect or convey stormwater (including storm drains, pipes, ditches, etc.); 3) not a combined sewer; and 4) not part of a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (sewage treatment plant). To prevent harmful pollutants from being washed or dumped into an MS4, operators must obtain a NPDES permit and develop a stormwater management program designed to reduce the contamination of stormwater runoff and prohibit illicit discharges. The City of Holly Springs, in compliance with its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, completed a number of tasks during 2018 relevant to the permit and with the Stormwater Utility program. Always seeking opportunities to further education and awareness of water quality, the City maintains an array of informational brochures targeting issues to reduce pollutants and improve the quality of water. These brochures are made available at City Hall and at community events. In addition, the City has participated with the Upper Etowah River Alliance in educational programs at local elementary, middle and high schools as well as at outdoor summer camps. The City stormwater department also sponsors a booth at the City’s annual Autumn Fest where brochures and other informational sheets are made available for attendees to pick up. Staff members are available for questions and kids’ activities relating to water quality and conservation take place as well. In addition to these annual events, everyone can take part in reducing pollution and improving water quality. Start with doing one of the actions on the following top 10 list: Start with doing one of the actions on the following top 10 list: 1. Maintain your car or truck. Never dump anything down a storm drain. Always recycle used oil, antifreeze and other fluids. Fix oil leaks in your vehicles. 2. Wash your car at a commercial car wash rather than in the street or in your driveway. If you wash your car at home, wash it on your lawn. 3. Drive less. Leave your car at home at least one day each week and take a bus, carpool or bike to work. Combine errands when you drive. Get vehicle emissions checked and repaired. Buy a low emission vehicle. 4. Cut down on fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. If you use these chemicals, follow directions and use them sparingly. Don’t fertilize before a rainstorm. Consider using organic fertilizers. Let your lawn go golden brown in the summer months; it will rebound in the fall. Compost or mulch lawn clippings. Preserve existing trees or plant new ones - trees hold rainfall and help manage stormwater. 5. Remove part or all of your lawn. Lawns require a lot of watering, mowing and caring. Replace part of your lawn with native, drought- Yards of the Month resistant plants. Add compost to planting soil and dress it with mulch to improve plant growth and reduce stormwater runoff. 6. If you are on a septic system, maintain the system. Septic systems require regular inspections, maintenance and pumping, or they will fail, cost a lot of money to fix and could pollute nearby lakes and streams. Have a professional inspector check your system regularly and have it pumped out when needed. 7. Pick up after your pets and keep animals out of streams. Scoop your dog’s poop and properly dispose of it. Also, make sure fences and other structures are keeping cows, horses and other animals out of streams. Compost manure in a designated area so that it doesn’t wash off into nearby waterways. 8. Reduce impervious surfaces at home and increase the vegetated land cover of your property. Impervious surfaces include your roof, driveway, patios and lawn. Reduce rooftop runoff by directing your downspouts to vegetated areas, and not to the storm drain on your street. For your driveway and patios, consider putting in permeable paving or patterns of cement and brick that allow water to filter through it. 9. Support your local storm or surface water program.
