Issac Shiflett and his comrades drove the pilings down until they hit the bedrock some 20 feet below the earth’s surface.”” Adel News Tribune, 1 Oct 2014, Page 9-A.

The Lowndes County Engineering Department announces the emergency closure of the Old US 41 bridge south of Chancy Drive. The closure is a result of a large tree falling on the bridge and breaking the barrier wall. An update to the length of the closure will be sent out tomorrow morning along with the detour.

HISTORIC FACTS: One of the few old stone (actually concrete) bridges left in this area. Kenna Walsh, Valdosta Daily Times, December 6, 2005, “”Commissioners vote to settle heated issue, “” “”Residents commented about the abandonment of Franklinville Road citing reasons for and against the motion. Tommy Stalvey Jr. asked commissioners to approve the abandonment, saying repairing the bridge, which is inoperable and closed, would be too costly a measure. Residents against the abandonment said they needed two points of access to their properties and emergency situations and additional mileage necessitated the road remain functional. Commissioners had to put the item on hold until their next meeting because an advertisement of the public hearing only ran once in The Valdosta Daily Times, and a mix-up prevented the item from running before the second hearing. Legal requirements necessitate the ad run before both public hearings. https://www.valdostadailytimes.com/news/local_news/commissioners-vote-to-settle-heated-issue/article_2c017c9a-3d72-5867-8c87-500316c40d2a.html

ADDRESS: 2 GA 37, Adel, GA 31620, Colquitt County.
DESCRIPTION: Easy access on the west (right bank, Colquitt County) side of Little River, south of GA 37, east of Moultrie towards Adel. This is the most upstream you can start a continuous paddle down the Little River (48.57 miles), then the Withlacoochee (another 62.47 miles), and Suwannee Rivers (127.79 miles), for about 239 river miles to the Gulf of Mexico. This is also one of the most remote and unspoiled stretches of river in the Withlacoochee and Little River Water Trail. Sand beaches abound for lunch or even overnight camping. In the new year expect yellow jessamine earliest, then wild native azaleas (Rhododendron canescens) blooming in their white to yellow or pink glory. In spring see red maple and white Grancy Greybeard and dogwood trees. In summer you may see the halberdleaf five-large-petaled swamp rose-mallow (Hibiscus laevis); each bloom only lasts one day. In the fall, expect swamp sunflower (Helianthus Angustifolius). Year-round, see loblolly pines, live oaks, water oaks, cypress, river birch, willow, and Spanish moss.

DESCRIPTION: This GA-DNR boat ramp on the left bank of the Little River is in a 49-acre local park, just west of the most populous city in the Suwannee River Basin. It is the last access to the Little River and often the first access to the Withlacoochee River, which is only a couple thousand feet downstream. It’s about 11 river miles downstream past the Little River Confluence and the clean treated water outfall of the Valdosta Withlacoochee Wastewater Treatment Plant to US 84 Landing, which is the roughest takeout on the WLRWT. Troupville Boat Ramp is also a good takeout after 6.72 Withlacoochee River miles downstream from Langdale Park Boat Ramp. Remember to turn right at the Little River Confluence to paddle those last couple thousand feet upstream. This is a Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) boat ramp operated by Valdosta-Lowndes County Parks and Recreation Authority, in a 49.36-acre park. Local elected officials are raising funds to buy the 74 acres from there down to the Little River Confluence, to make a combined 123-acre park and to build the Troupville River Camp proposed by WWALS, here at the center of the Withlacoochee and Little River Water Trail. https://wwals.net/2019/11/05/troupville-river-camp-center-of-little-and-withlacoochee-river-water-trail-2019-10-31/
HISTORIC FACTS: Lowndes County bought the adjoining 71 acres down to the Little River Confluence from Helen Tapp on December 13, 2022, to add to the 49 VLPRA acres as a public park. https://wwals.net/?p=60481 Start of Paddle Georgia 2019. Troupville was the former county seat of Lowndes County, Georgia, here between the blackwater Little and Withlacoochee Rivers. In 1860 the entire town picked up and moved four miles east to the path of the first railroad, and renamed itself Valdosta.
AKA: Little River Boat Ramp (old VLPRA name), Troupville Landing (after the name of the old Lowndes County seat), Troupeville Landing (GDOT), the prison boat ramp (after the state prison across the road).

HISTORIC FACTS: Tyler Bridge closed about in the 1990s per request of local landowners, so Franklinville Road now acts as a barrier to northward sprawl of subdivision development.

Alligators are not often seen here, but turtles are common. You might see a great blue heron. Paddle time will vary from about 3.5 hours if the water level is good, to dragging the boat if it’s too low (2.0′ or 85.5′ NAVD88), to very fast if it’s high (highest safe 10.5′ or 94′ NAVD88), or on the Quitman USGS gauge at US 84.

DESCRIPTION: Good put-in for an 8.9-mile paddle downstream past springs and rapids to the GA-FL state line on the subtropical blackwater Withlacoochee River. Don’t miss McIntyre Spring, on the right, about halfway down. It’s one of only six second-magnitude springs in Georgia, and another is farther along: Arnold Springs. You may see an otter; you will very likely see turtles and many fish. In the summer you may see the swamp rosemallow that blooms only one day per bloom in June. In the spring you will see red maple and wild azalea. Buzzards will follow you, but don’t worry: the alligators are more scared of you. Paddle times will vary from nope when the parking lot is flooded, very fast (4 miles per hour) if the water is near the highest safe on the Quitman (US 84) gauge, or dragging the boat if it’s below the low water recommendation.

Trashjam of Sugar Creek
CATEGORIES: Obstacle
LAYER: Other
OWNERSHIP: Public, MANWELL SUGAR CREEK LLC, PARCEL 0080A 005
WATER BODY: Sugar Creek
MILE: 0.22
ADDRESS: North by northeast of the Salty Snapper. Lowndes County.
DESCRIPTION: Deadfalls across Sugar Creek, capturing large amounts of bottles, cans, and styrofoam, as well as larger trash. The left bank is Salty Snapper property inside Valdosta. The right bank is Eager River Property LLC, outside the city limits in Lowndes County.
HISTORIC FACTS: Cleanups here such as on 10 July 2021 temporarily relieve the trashjam, but it always comes back. Even if the logjam is freed, another one forms, with more trash. Trash traps are needed, as well as efforts by upstream businesses to contain trash in their parking lots, plus bottle deposits and styrofoam bans.

WATER BODY: Horse Creek
ADDRESS: 289 Evergreen Rd, Sylvester, GA 31791, Worth County.
DESCRIPTION: Dixie Pipeline Company Opelika—Alma (Spur Line), 6.625-inch diameter, product type Highly Volatile Liquids (HVL), as in Propane, Butane, Ethane, E/P Mix, HVLs are hydrocarbons that have been pressurized to keep them in a liquid state. If a pipeline is punctured, the HVLs will escape and convert from a liquid to a gas. HVLs are heavier than air; therefore, if they escape from the pipeline, they will likely pool in low-lying areas.

WATER BODY: Town Creek
ADDRESS: 100-198 Melton Rd, Sylvester, GA 31791, Worth County.
DESCRIPTION: Dixie Pipeline Company Opelika—Alma (Spur Line), 6.625-inch diameter, product type Highly Volatile Liquids (HVL), as in Propane, Butane, Ethane, E/P Mix, HVLs are hydrocarbons that have been pressurized to keep them in a liquid state. If a pipeline is punctured, the HVLs will escape and convert from a liquid to a gas. HVLs are heavier than air; therefore, if they escape from the pipeline, they will likely pool in low-lying areas. HVLs are highly flammable and will burn or explode if exposed to an ignition source. HVLs are dangerous and could be lethal if inhaled by humans or animals.

ADDRESS: About 1, 000 feet upstream from US 84 Bridge, Brooks, Lowndes Counties.
DESCRIPTION: Yard-wide fracked methane pipeline drilled under the Withlacoochee River. Signs visible on either bank.
HISTORIC FACTS: Notorious for leaking drilling fluid up from its pilot hole into the Withlacoochee River, October 22, 2016. Used federal eminent domain provided by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to take local lands. Lost every jury trial about that, usually having to pay five times as much as offered, but any one-time payment is still a pittance compared to the pipeline company’s daily profits and the risks to the river, lands, air, and life.

CATEGORIES: Point Of Interest
LAYER: Point of Interest
OWNERSHIP: Public, VALDOSTA LOWNDES COUNTY PARKS & RECREATION AUTHORITY, PARCEL 0042 001
ACCESS: Yes, Ramp: Concrete in 1-acre park with asphalt on first steep slope down from the main road. PARKING: Free, PICNIC AREA
WATER BODY: Withlacoochee River
Lowest boatable: 85.25′
Highest safe: 99′
GAUGE: Quitman
MILE: 36.67
ADDRESS: Left bank, just below Clyattville-Nankin Road Bridge, 6899 Clyattville-Nankin Road, Valdosta, GA 31601. Lowndes County.
DESCRIPTION: Good put-in for an 8.9-mile paddle downstream past springs and rapids to the GA-FL state line on the subtropical blackwater Withlacoochee River. Don’t miss McIntyre Spring, on the right, about halfway down. It’s one of only six second-magnitude springs in Georgia, and another is farther along: Arnold Springs. You may see an otter; you will very likely see turtles and many fish. In the summer you may see the swamp rosemallow that blooms only one day per bloom in June. In the spring you will see red maple and wild azalea. Buzzards will follow you, but don’t worry: the alligators are more scared of you. Paddle times will vary from nope when the parking lot is flooded, very fast (4 miles per hour) if the water is near the highest safe on the Quitman (US 84) gauge, or dragging the boat if it’s below the low water recommendation.

ACCESS: Public, DOCK, CAMPING: One Mile Branch, PARKING: “””On Wednesday, June 21, 2023, the City of Valdosta Utilities Department received a call about murky water coming from a storm drain into One-Mile Branch Creek. After an intensive investigation and video inspections, the City Utilities Department located a collapse in an eight-inch sanitary sewer main. Due to the collapse and its proximity to an underground storm sewer main, sewer water had infiltrated the storm pipe, and subsequently, a diluted undetermined amount discharged from this storm pipe into One-Mile Branch Creek. As a safety precaution, the Utilities Department hired a local contractor to plug the storm drain, and rerouted the discharge to the nearby sanitary sewer system until repairs are complete Saturday, June 24, 2023. Georgia EPD has been notified of the issue, and signs were posted nearby at One-Mile Branch Creek to alert citizens to avoid the creek until further notice.”” But Valdosta did not send out that press release until three days later; it didn’t say where the spill occured, nor how much was spilled. https://wwals.net/?p=62421 Nobody from the City of Valdosta answered questions for another day and a half, when the Valdosta City Manager provided a block number. WWALS E.D. Gretchen Quarterman then photographed the situation.

HISTORIC FACTS: Infamous for flooding, esp. in 2009 and 2013, inundating nearby back yards. Stinking for weeks after Vadosta’s notorious December 2019 sewage spill. See WWTP. Sugar Creek also has severe trash problems, since it drains about 80% of Valdosta, including major streets with fast food stores. WWALS is working with the City to clean that up, including getting the businesses that distribute single-use packaging to help.

OWNERSHIP: Public
WATER BODY: Withlacoochee River
MILE: 61.17
ADDRESS: Downhill from 3352 Wetherington Ln, Valdosta, GA 31601, Lowndes County.
DESCRIPTION: Withlacoochee River water usually tests cleaner downstream from this river left entry of treated wastewater from Valdosta’s Withlacoochee Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), NPDES Permit No. GA0033235. One of two Valdosta plants (the other is in the Alapaha River Basin).
HISTORIC FACTS: The WWTP is notorious for chronic sewage spills; see also Old Closed WWTP. The new WWTP, uphill out of the flood plain, still spilled several more years. Remarkably, the WWTP was not the source of Valdosta’s notorious December 2019 sewage spill, but it was involved in previous incidents. In 2020, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GA-EPD) finally levied a Consent Order on Valdosta, with a fine, and a requirement for Valdosta to test and publish water quality results thrice-weekly on 40 river miles from US 41 to the GA-FL line. Those results helped enable finding other sources of E. coli contamination, combined with others from Lowndes County, WWALS, Florida’s Suwannee River Water Management District (SRWMD), Florida Department of Health (FDOH), Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). FDEP DNA marker and chemical tracer results indicate most contamination episodes come from ruminants on Okapilco Creek, which runs from Colquitt through Brooks Counties, Georgia. WWALS DNA marker test indicates those ruminants are cattle. Some of the dairy farmers have been implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs) which are having an effect: E. coli numbers during 2021 episodes were about half those of 2020. And Valdosta has had very few and only much smaller sewage spills since 2019.

The “”new Withlacoochee WPCP provides the city with a state-of-the-art wastewater treatment for an ADF of 12 MGD, with the capability to treat peak flows of 18 MGD.

The new plant uses a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) System to treat wastewater while effectively removing nutrients and reducing phosphorous. Screen reader support enabled.””, See https://wwals.net/issues/vww/. Many solar panels on site power the plant during the day.
HISTORIC FACTS: This and the preceding Old Closed WWTP had chronic major sewage spills for decades.
