McClellan infrastructure and utilities

Utilities and Infrastructure
McClellan is comprised of an excellent utility and transportation system that offers the essential cornerstone to the general land management plan. Utilities include water supply and distribution system, wastewater management, storm water management, electrical distribution, gas distribution, heating and cooling, solid waste management, and telecommunications. Road networks are also important components of the McClellan infrastructure.

Utility systems have been assessed for location, materials, age, existing condition, and capacities. Supply sources may be found both on-post and off-post. Based on previous research, McClellan utility and infrastructure systems are generally favorable and possess capacity to serve a wide range of mixed-use development facilities.

Potable Water
Supply: Potable water is supplied to the installation by the Anniston Water and Sewer Board, which draws water resources from Coldwater Springs providing high-quality water and requiring only limited treatment, chlorination and fluoridation prior to consumption. The supply enters the Main Post via 10- and 12-inch mains from Highway 21 near Summerall and Baltzell Gates.

Demand: Currently the daily consumption demand equals 600,000 gpd, from a maximum capacity of 2.0 million gpd.

Sanitary Sewage System
McClellan sanitary sewage management system includes an extensive network of gravity collection sewers, force mains, pumping stations, and a wastewater treatment plant. The Wastewater Treatment plant was recently upgraded in 1995, and is operated by the Anniston Water Works and Sewer Board. The wastewater plant has a rated capacity of 2.2 million gallons per day of secondary treatment.

Electrical Distribution System
McClellan receives electrical source and power from off-post to a substation. Power is distributed throughout the area in a combination of above and below ground line systems.

Supply: Alabama Power Company, an investor-owned subsidiary of the Southern Company, currently supplies electrical power to McClellan via a 115 Kv (kilovolt), 3-phase, 60 hertz transmission line. The energy service is part of a loop system allowing backfeeding during any emergency.

Distribution Network: The substation located on site has 22,500 kVa of capacity and delivers 12,470 volts via four distribution circuits supplying McClellan.

Natural Gas Distribution System
Natural gas supplies 90 percent of the heating requirements for McClellan from an off-site location. The network consists of a high-pressure feeder line, reduced and distributed throughout the property.

Supply: The Alabama Gas Company (ALAGASCO) purveys natural gas to the installation through a single 12-inch diameter high pressure, 90 pounds per square inch gravity (psig) gas main line. The line ultimately reduces to a 10-inch diameter high-pressure line. The Master Plan of 1990 recommends a new parallel high-pressure service main and meter/regulator station, connection to the existing distribution. The parallel service point could provide backup for the single existing supply main that would maximize supply outage.

Telecommunication Distribution Network
McClellan maintains a telecommunication network that includes an extensive standard, copper, cable system, limited fiber optics cable, manholes, and related switching equipment that are connected to BellSouth Company. The cable possesses capabilities of providing high-speed computer data communication. McClellan also has 4,881 feet of twelve-pair fiber optic cable. The cable is located in underground ducts, accessible by manholes.

Transportation System
Roadways: McClellan currently maintains 971.2 miles of surfaced roads, and 49 bridges. Streets within the cantonment area are paved and adequately maintained.

Fire and Police Protection
McClellan has now been annexed into the City of Anniston, Alabama. All municipal services, including emergency 911, fire and police protection are administered by the local municipal authorities. The former Army fire station is now fully operational within McClellan by the City of Anniston.

Floodplains and Wetlands
Choccolocco Mountains form the major surface water divide. Several creeks and their tributaries drain McClellan. The 100-year floodplain encompasses several recreational areas, comprising a total of 500 acres, but represents only 2.5 percent of McClellan’s available property.
