Spring River Levee Improvements |
In
1993, flooding on the Spring River led to flooding behind
the Carthage levee, subsequently overloading a sewage lift
station. Raw sewage mixed with the floodwaters and backed
up into the City of Carthage's industrial complex, including
a turkey processing plant and a cheese plant. The economic
impact during the cleanup of this event exceeded $2 million
dollars. The US Economic Development Agency funded improvements
to the levee, a new sewage pumping station and improvements
at the wastewater treatment plant.
TSE
designed and installed improvements to approximately 3/4 mile
of the Carthage levee along Spring River, added two 300hp,
40,000 gpm storm-water pumps and a 12' x 20' levee flood gate
for the railroad crossing.

In
conjunction with this project, TSE also designed a
new sanitary sewer lift station and approximately 1.5 miles
of 20-inch pressure sewer main.

TSE
completed a comprehensive drainage study for the City of
Carthage, the Carter Branch and City Branch watersheds making
recommendations for improvements to existing drainage structures
to accommodate additional runoff from within the city limits.
Projects resulting from the study and designed by Tri-State
Engineering include a regional

detention
basin and open channel drainage structures at the Myers
Park Airport, storm sewer improvement for the Pearl Street/Hawthorne
Street neighborhood and drainage and street improvements
for the River Street and Fairview Avenue area. This relieves
existing structures and accommodates the future widening
of River Street.
