Innovations
Innovative
features of the Hunting Run Water Supply Project are:
»
The
Actiflo® system used in the Motts Run Water Treatment
Plant, the first of its kind in Virginia, provides effective
clarification in a fraction of the space and at half of the cost of conventional
clarification. This plant was redesigned to fit in with its surrounds and
will permit additional expansion of up to 42 million gallons of water per day (mgd).
»
Improvements
to the existing spillway and embankment of the
Motts
Run Dam will prevent flooding, and new embankment blanket and
toe drain systems control seepage through the dam.
»
The
Hunting Run Dam was constructed using more
than 142,000 cubic yards of roller compacted concrete and 500,000 cubic yards of
earthfill with zoned earthfill embankments at each end.
»
For
the Hunting Run Dam project, IntelliGrout™,
a revolutionary computer system, was initialized for real-time electronic
monitoring and recording and production of grouting.
»
Hunting
Run Reservoir covers 420 acres, contains 3.1 billion gallons of water and
provides an additional eight mgd of water supply to Spotsylvania County.
