OLD SENOIA ROAD CULVERT REPLACEMENT - UPDATE

Fayette County, Georgia – August 8, 2019 - Construction of the Old Senoia Road Culvert Replacement SPLOST Project came to a standstill on May 1, 2019, when the initially deemed, “no conflict” 6-inch gas line, was discovered to be within the proposed culvert footing location. Fayette County and the County’s contractor, McCoy Grading, Inc., have been working diligently to get the gas line relocated. Atlanta Gas Light (AGL) originally estimated a 45-calendar day relocation schedule in order for them to design, bid, and award a contractor. Fayette County and McCoy Grading have stressed the urgency of the gas line relocation and the project completion to AGL on a regular basis. Due to scheduling conflicts, encountering rock, and equipment issues, AGL’s contractor was not able to complete the relocation until August 8, 2019. After more than a three-month delay, the County’s contractor will re-mobilize onsite on August 12, 2019 to continue construction. McCoy Grading will begin pouring the concrete foundation, which will need to properly cure for several weeks. Additionally, the foundation must pass all material testing and inspections prior to the culvert structure being placed. Due to the gas line relocation delay, the Old Senoia Road opening is delayed until November 2019.

OUTDOOR BURNING BAN TO GO INTO EFFECT MAY 1, 2019

A reminder to all Fayette County residents the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) Open Burning Ban will be in effect May 1st through September 30th. Fayette County is part of 54 Metro-Atlanta and surrounding counties that are subject to the open burning ban during the summer months.

No outdoor burning will be allowed until the ban is lifted on October 1, 2019.

During the burn ban residents may use alternative methods for disposal for yard debris. The County has a designated area at the waste transfer facility on First Manassas Mile for the dumping of debris, for a fee. Residents may also contact the County Extension Office for information on other methods of disposal.

Residents should also note that the disposal of household garbage by burning is not allowed at any time during the year and this violation is strictly enforced.

Fayette County Fire Chief David Scarbrough says “It is very important for all citizens in Fayette County to follow the burn ban rules and regulations for the health and safety of our citizens during these months.”
