The City of Vienna, (Dooley Co.) Georgia has proposed a spray irrigation treatment project to treat wastewater effluent from the city system. Vienna will install and operate a spray irrigation system on 147 acres of agricultural land west of the current city oxidation pond. A forced main line will carry the effluent from the city's existing oxidation pond approximately 0.2 miles to S.R. 27. The main line will then proceed northwest following existing highway right-of-way along S.R. 27 and S.R. 90 for approximately 0.6 miles. The line then will proceed west along a farm road to the spray irrigation field. Lateral lines will emanate at 200 feet intervals from the main line and will terminate in spray nozzles in the field. A 150 feet wide buffer area will be maintained around the perimeter of the spray field and a holding pond will be constructed in the northern portion of the field.
To fulfill the requirements of Section 201 of the Clean Water Act, a survey of protected plants and animals was performed. On May 10, 1983, an on-foot survey of the forced main pipeline corridor and the spray irrigation field was conducted to determine if the construction and operation of the forced main line and the spray irrigation system would impact any federal or state identified endangered, threatened or rare flora or fauna.
