May 2009 Storm Event Rainfall totals range = 20 – 25 inchesRainfall ~ 300 Year – 5 Day storm
“R” Section (Section 30) :High water reported at or near homes at 3 locationsRoadway overtopping reported at approximately 5 locationsModel confirms storm conditions
“E” Section (Section 34) :High water reported at or near homes at 4 locationsRoadway overtopping reported at approximately 10 locationsModel confirms storm conditions
Current Study Findings

System Performance Evaluation For Ditches & Canals:
Service Level A: Flow is contained within the system (i.e., no flooding of major roadways, minor roadways, yards or buildings occurs)
Service Level B: Flow is contained within the right of way (i.e., flooding is limited to the outer lane of major roadways and right-of-way area of yards)
Service Level C: Flooding of minor streets precludes travel and flooding of yards is at the buildings but no structure flooding occurs.
Service Level D: Extensive flooding of yards including buildings.
Note: Level of Service Objective = “B” Level “C” is considered deficient
Level “D” is considered unacceptable

System Performance Evaluation For Homes:
Home flooding evaluated relative to base flood (i.e., 100-year storm)City has required 1 foot of freeboard above 100-year elevation

Section 30 (“R” Section) – Level of Service
Singhofen & Associates, Inc. March 12, 2013
Section 30 (“R” Section) High water levels due to:
Constrictions between residential areas and primary canal system Low ground or road elevations relative to downstream road elevations or flood stages in Pine Grove Canal
2 homes predicted to flood in a 100-year event Number of homes below City requirement for 100-year event = 19 % 9 Locations with secondary drainage deficiencies for 10 year event Nuisance flooding (2-year event) at 8 road crossings
