Appendix H: Plan Formulation
July 2018
1.1 Site Screening The Project Delivery Team conducted a systematic and efficient evaluation of potential projects, using increasing level of detail as the number of potentially viable projects was reduced. A three‐phased screening process was used to narrow down the initial array of identified potential flood risk management measures to eventually identifying a tentatively selected plan. Each phase relied on increased level of detail in the analyses in order to “buy‐down” or better understand the amount of uncertainty associated with the various measures.
1. Preliminary screening – High level screening based on initial economic damages, engineering considerations, and environmental criteria. Initial cost estimates using parametric cost estimates were used to screen some types of measures. Basic hydraulic analysis was used where appropriate to provide preliminary screening. Measures which indicate any likelihood of positive net benefits based on this screening were retained for further consideration. More details about the steps used for this level of screening for each measure type and the results of this screening are included in the main report.
2. Secondary screening – The measures that were remaining after the initial round of screening were modeled in the hydraulic model and economic benefits were determined using the HEC-FDA economic model. Based on this more detailed level of H&H and economic analysis, more detailed cost estimates were developed only for alternatives which were considered to possibly result in positive net benefits.
3. Evaluation of final array – Measures estimated to have a likelihood of positive net benefits were combined into different alternative combination. Each alternative was modeled in the H&H model and economic benefits for each alternative were estimated with the HEC-FDA economic model. Based on the results of the economic analysis, alternatives were compared to maximize net benefits.
4. Identification of Tentatively Selected Plan – Alternatives in the final array which resulted in positive net benefits were combined to form the TSP. Additional detail about this evaluation process is included in the main report.
1.1.1 Preliminary and Secondary Screening Overview Initial screening was conducted using existing data if available or based on assumptions where data was not available. The plans and initial screening steps are outlined in Table 1. Additional detail about the screening will be included in the full Feasibility Report and is not included in this report summary.

1.1.2 Levee/ Floodwall Screening Basic design assumptions were made for each levee location which was retained after the preliminary screening process. Approximate alignment was based on review of available topographic data, aerial photography and structure location data. Assessment of likely structure type (levee or floodwall) was based on the review of aerial photography. The levee height was approximated based on the1% ACE flood profile available from FEMA. Both length and height assumptions were initially based on rough estimates to support a screening level analysis.
Parametric cost estimates based on the length and height of the levee or floodwall and the number of closure structures required for the line of protection. Economic damages for the target damage reach (refer to main) were compared with the parametric cost estimates to perform the secondary screening. The majority of the levees alternatives evaluated were screened based on this comparison. As noted in Table 2, in most cases, the level of economic damages were significantly lower than the parametric level costs estimates, so the alternatives were screened from further consideration.
The four (4) levee reaches retained (LVEB07a, LVEB07b, LVEB07c, LVSJ01) are the 4 existing levees, collectively called the Lisle Levee System, or the River Dumoulin Levees, based on the name of the neighborhood they are located in.

1.1.3 Storage Screening For the secondary screening process, hydraulic modeling runs were performed using idealized storage assumptions to determine potential impacts of storage on the river profiles. To determine which storage locations would be modeled as part of the secondary screening, the economic model results from the without project conditions were used. Hydraulic parameters, such as storage weir heights, were optimized based on the percent damage by percent change exceedance. This allowed for the peak of the hydrograph to be captured in the storage location. For example, for reach DU03c, no significant damages began until approximately the 4%-2% annual chance exceedance event. Therefore weir heights and
storage volumes could be optimized for these events and greater knowing that for smaller events minimal benefits would be produced. This table was also used to narrow down where storage locations might be modeled. For example, for reach DU03a, since damages didn’t occur until the 0.5% annual chance exceedance event and the percent of total damage was relatively small, chances of storage reducing water surface elevations in this area would be small. Therefore, storage areas were focused on those areas where the total percent damage occurred at a smaller storm duration and the percent of total damages where relatively significant, such as Reach EB01. Table 3 was created to identify which storm events to target for further storage formulation. These targets were identified based on the percent of economic damages induced at each damage reach. The table identified at approximately which ACE event damages began and what percent of total damage of structures within the reach occurred at that ACE. Hydraulic model runs were completed to target benefits at the elevation that corresponded with hydraulic profile at the ACE event which caused the highest relative amount of economic damages for specific damage reaches.

The hydraulic modeling results of the alternatives which resulted in reduction in river profiles in target damage reaches for the target ACE events were evaluated in the economic model to estimate the benefits of the proposed storage locations as compared to the without project condition.
Parametric cost estimates were based on storage volume, the length and height of the levee or floodwall, and the number of closure structures required for the line of protection. Economic benefits were compared with the parametric cost estimates to perform the secondary screening. As noted in Table 4 the majority of the storage alternatives were screened because they were not near (upstream of) an identified damage area or because the results of the H&H modeling indicated that they would not result in reduction of river profiles or the reduction of the profiles did not result in enough economic benefits to support further evaluation.

2. STEB 26 – Lacey Creek Restriction
3. STEB 27 – Warrenville Road Storage

1.1.4 Channel Improvement Screening Bridges which were initially identified as causing a constriction on the channel were further evaluated based on updated H&H modeling results and economic damage estimates to determine if any of the bridges could be modified to reduce flood risk. By reducing the constriction at these structures, flood profiles upstream of the bridges could be reduced to lower flood risk.
Due to the relatively low economic damage estimates and the high relative cost required to modify bridge structures, all but one bridge was screened from consideration. Table 5 includes a summary of the screening process.
