DBC reviewed and updated a hydrologic model (EPA SWMM) of the Burgess Creek watershed, including UDFCD (MHFD) CUHP rainfall hyetographs, infiltration parameters from soil data, imperviousness, channel and pipe routings, and model calculation tolerances. DBC also updated the hydraulic model (HEC-RAS) and used these tools to identify flooding potential. A toolbox of alternative solutions was evaluated in a collaborative effort with City staff. A priority matrix was also used to develop a phased approach to reduce and eliminate flooding within the watershed.
DBC subsequently completed design, construction services, City Floodplain Development Permit, and as-built plans with an approved CLOMR and LOMR.
