- 9. Project Description/Overview
- This project will serve to extend City water and sewer infrastructure to a part of the City that is mostly unserved. The project boundaries start on the north side of Phase I (Hogan Street) and includes Grove Street and Noonan Street. The east project boundary is Tabor Street and the west boundary is just west of Margie Street. The existing sewer system only serves a small portion of the project area and still consists of vitrified clay pipe with intermittent sections of PVC pipe where required. The City is growing and needs to provide water and sewer service to unserved areas of the City. The lack of sewer and water infrastructure, as well as sections that are well past their design life, increases the risk of contamination to the surrounding water bodies as well as the risk of contaminating private drinking water wells. In addition, residents not served by a public water system are at increased fire danger.
- 10. Project Goals/Objectives
- - Extend public water and sewer mains to unserved areas. - Replace dilapidated existing infrastructure. - Increase resiliency for City infrastructure. - Extend fire protect ion. - Reduce infiltration and inflow and corresponding sanitary sewer overflows.
- 11. Which of the following authorized uses set forth in the GOMESA Act does this project fall under?
- (A) Projects and activities for the purpose of coastal protection, including conservation, coastal restoration, hurricane protection, and infrastructure directly affected by coastal wetlands losses
- Yes: Improvements and extensions to public infrastructure will decrease sanitary sewer overflows spilling into adjacent coastal wetlands as well as removing failing septic systems, thus improving adjacent water quality. Installing and extending new potable water mains will increase resiliency in the face of storms and provide basic systems that are easier to restore to service after hurricanes.
- (B) Mitigation of damage to fish, wildlife, or natural resources.
- (C) Implementation of a federally-approved marine, coastal, or conservation management plan.
- (D) Mitigation of the impact of Outer Continental Shelf activities through funding of onshore infrastructure projects.
- Yes: Construction of this project will harden and provide resiliency to the City's infrastructure during storms.
- 12. Project Timetable/Milestones
- It is estimated that this project will be fully constructed within two (2) years from the date of funding. This allows for one (1) year for surveys, design, permitting and bidding, followed by one (1) year of construction.
- 13. Project Timing
- Short-term
- 14. Current status of architectural/engineering plans & specifications for this project (if applicable):
- In Progress Funds Not Budgeted
- 15. In what way does this project meet the goals and objectives of the Department of Marine Resources, which includes enhancing, protecting and conserving the marine interest of Mississippi for present and future generations?
- This project will extend public infrastructure and replace existing, failing, infrastructure which will decrease overflows, failing septics, contamination of private wells, contamination of shallow groundwater. This will reduce bacterial and biological contamination to adjacent waterbodies like Jackson Marsh and the Mississippi Sound. This in turn will help protect local fish and shellfish populations.
