PROJECT INFORMATION
In order to meet the demand for adequate drainage of combined sewerage overflow, the City of Hannibal, Missouri, partnered with the District to propose an environmental infrastructure solution. The current storm sewerage system is unable to meet the full needs of the local community. The City acknowledged the area as in critical need of infrastructure improvements. Without addressing alternative improvements to this system, potential overflow challenges may occur in the lower extent, as a result of major rainfall events.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
1. No-Action Alternative
2. Preferred Alternative of constructing the Phase III extent, joining with the existing storm sewerage system.
PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE
The preferred alternative is for construction of the Phase III extent of the storm sewer system. The total length evaluated in the EA is around 0.5 miles from 5th Street past Halsey Street. The construction work limit is approximately 750 feet.
