Work Underway to Repair Eroding Bank Streams

Work has begun on addressing several eroding stream banks that feed into the Chattahoochee River near Peachtree Corners.

The streams are located in the Peachtree Station and River Valley Estate subdivisions.

The work is part of a watershed improvement project begun by Gwinnett County’s Department of Water Resources in coordination with the City of Peachtree Corners.

The project will stabilize erosion, increase flood-storage capacity and restore aquatic habitat along with protecting sewer and stormwater infrastructure.

The project will reconfigure and stabilize approximately 2,100 linear feet of stream along three interconnected tributaries in the Chattahoochee River Basin.

The work includes site clearing, grading new stream channels and installing in-stream structures, site stabilization with erosion control matting. The county expects to have the project completed within nine (9) months.

For questions please contact Public Works Director Greg Ramsey via email at gramsey@peachtreecornersga.gov or by phone, 470-395-7021.
