Remnants of an old stream bed visible in the 1928 City of Atlanta survey were utilized to offline sewer flows from the NE portion of the site, through the park, and out to Proctor Creek. This sewer system led to Proctor Creek Disposal Plant, one of the first wastewater treatment plants in the city (no longer in operation). Since then, a sewer trunk has been installed, and the old stream bed is currently a stormwater conveyance channel acting as a headwater creek feeding into Proctor Creek. This hydraulic channel holds the potential, if enhanced, to become the site’s Green Spine. (in-house drawing)
