Cobb County, GA

Noonday Creek is located in a highly-urbanized portion of Cobb County with a drainage basin of 14+ square miles. To reduce downstream flooding during smaller storm events and alleviate ongoing channel degradation, Cobb County constructed a regional stormwater management facility across the creek in the Chastain Meadows area. The principal spillway of the dam consists of a quadruple barrel 10-foot by 11-foot concrete box culvert with a rectangular weir box sized to reduce the flows during the lower storm events. The embankment is designed to overtop during large storm events and has overtopping protection provided by tapered articulated concrete block mats.
