Aircraft; Procedure
Aircraft X (a CRJ); a Runway 26L departure; advised that he was deviating left of course for wake turbulence. This conflicted with Aircraft Y (a B717); a Runway 27R departure. I told Aircraft X unable left deviation due to traffic and approved a deviation right of course. I informed Aircraft X that he was 6 miles behind a B757. Aircraft X stated he wanted to try to get out of the wake turbulence and said he got a 90 degree roll. I issued a 3-1-0 heading to Aircraft X to ensure separation with Aircraft Y and provide diverging course from the wake turbulence from Aircraft Z (the 757). The pilot of Aircraft Z inquired on the frequency if that wake turbulence was from him and wanted to verify the 90 degree aspect also. I alerted the Watch Supervisor.This may be connected with RECAT; however without analyzing the data; I am not sure that wake turbulence separation wasn't even provided under the old standard.
Support Specialist at A80 reports of aircraft entering wake turbulence and asking for a vector to the left. Controller cannot issue a left heading due to traffic; and issues a right turn.
