Drainage
Drainage - Existing Conditions Northern section located in 100-year Floodplain (Zone AE) Existing Parallel Systems has one independent Drainage Area (81.4 acres) with 3 Outfalls: 24-inch trunk (10 East Esmnt); Outfalls into D140-00-00 @ Willowbend 24- to 42-inch trunk (10 East Esmnt); Outfalls into D140-00-00 @Dumfries 30- to 60-inch trunk (under SB Pvmnt); Outfalls into D100-00-00 @ Braeswood 30 to 60 trunk (along SB Pavement) Outfall @ Braeswood 24 trunk (10 East Esmnt) 24 to 42 trunk (10 East Esmnt) Outfall @ Willowbend Outfall @ Dumfries
Drainage - Existing Conditions 2-yr HGL below gutter 100-yr WSE above MPE Existing BB Inlets - Insufficient Capacity 100-yr MPE EXCEEDED 100-yr MPE EXCEEDED 100-yr MPE EXCEEDED 100-yr MPE EXCEEDED
Drainage Analysis: Analysis based on latest IDM Chapter 9; TP 100 & TP-101 Criteria Existing drainage areas delineated using LiDAR data & record drawings Reviewed existing hydraulic models for 2- & 100-year events using XP-SWMM Identified flooding areas based on ponding data and flooding complaints Proposed drainage areas delineated based on full topographic survey and proposed roadway profile and inlet locations Optimized proposed pipes and inlet sizes for in-line detention to lower the 100-yr WSE below MPE
Drainage Proposed Conditions 30 to 36 RCP Laterals 24 to 42 RCP Laterals 24 RCP Laterals 30 RCP Laterals 36 RCP Laterals 24 RCP Lateral 700-LF 24 RCP parallel trunk 500-LF 30 RCP parallel trunk 400-LF 36 RCP parallel trunk
Results of Hydraulic Models 2-year HGL below the gutter line 100-year WSE are below the MPE
Results of Hydraulic Models: Existing outfall (peak flows) have been retained and increase in flows mitigated within the proposed system
Summary of Recommended Storm Sewer Improvements: Utilize existing 2 parallel storm sewer trunk lines, as possible Add 3rd storm sewer system ranging from 24- to 42-inch diameter (located along the northbound proposed pavement) Replacing all existing BB-Inlets / C-inlets to C-1 inlets Replace Existing leads / laterals with sizes ranging from 24- to 36-inch diameter
