WATER RESOURCES

This project consisted of relocating the Fort Boone Pump Station and upgrading capacity. The existing Fort Boone Pump Station was a recurring Sanitary Sewer Overflow and an aging pump station. This project included relocating the pump station downstream to allow for the future elimination of three additional private pump stations.

Palmer Engineering (Palmer) completed engineering analyses for the Vaught Tributary of Lower Howards Creek stormwater model in Winchester, Kentucky. With the goal of reducing peak flood stages in the watershed and improving water quality, four proposed alternatives were developed and evaluated against existing conditions at two different points of analysis along the stream.

Palmer Engineering, and their sub-consultants, were selected by DWQ to design these trunk sewers. The project is located in a very urban portion of Lexington, part of which is in the heart the University of Kentucky campus. The project is thought to be one of the more difficult line-work projects in the Remedial Measures Plan because of the impacts it will have on traffic during construction.

The Forest and Fitzgerald Storm and Sanitary Phase 1 Project is a proposed infrastructure improvement project in Erlanger, Kenton County, Kentucky, by Sanitation District No 1 of Northern Kentucky (SD1). The project is proposed to reduce flooding in the Forest and Fitzgerald intersection and reduce stormwater velocities through the existing open channel at 4118 Taylor Court.

Palmer Engineering, assisted by Geotechnology and Redwing Ecological, completed this project, which included the Cross Keys Park Pond Water Quality Retrofit and Picadome Golf Course Stream Restoration, which were both prioritized project within the Wolf Run Watershed Based Plan.

These watersheds include a mix of urban and rural land uses, and include 50 square miles of drainage area. These watersheds were prioritized because they are Zone III of the KDOW Source Water Assessment and Protection Program.
