Brock Road Water Main Improvement Project Environmental Assessment

Smith, Russell

The County of Spotsylvania – Department of Public Utilities (County) in cooperation with the National Park Service (NPS) is proposing to construct a 16-inch water main in Spotsylvania County, Virginia connecting the existing water mains located at the intersections of Brock Road (Route 613) / Judiciary Drive and Route 627 / Brock Road (Route 613) to create a connected and more efficient County-wide water system. In addition, this looped water system would connect an existing 16-inch water main at the Ni Water Treatment Plant on Route 627 to the 8-inch water line on Route 613, eliminating the single feeds to the Lake Acres area on Route 627 and the Spotsylvania County Courthouse area. This proposed water main would provide a solution for the NPS to improve the existing degraded water quality at the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park (FSNMP), Spotsylvania Battlefield Exhibit Shelter. Completion of this project will greatly benefit the NPS by not only providing a solution to the existing water quality issues at the Spotsylvania Battlefield Exhibit Shelter but will also provide a fire protection connection for the park.
