Singhofen & Associates, Inc.August 2011 May 2009 Storm Event Rainfall totals range = 20 – 25 inches Rainfall ~ 300 Year – 5 Day storm Bird of Paradise Area (Section 35) : High water reported near homes at 3 locations Measured water elevations validate model simulations (simulated elevations within 0.1 feet of measured values) Measured high water elevations equate to 25 or 50 Year - 24 Hour storm condition Rymfire Ditch Area (Section 31) : Roadway overtopping reported at approximately 5 locations Model confirms storm conditions Study Findings
Singhofen & Associates, Inc.August 2011 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 Level of Service Evaluations
Singhofen & Associates, Inc.August 2011 System Performance Evaluation For Homes: Home flooding evaluated relative to base flood (i.e., 100-year storm) City code requires 1 foot of freeboard above 100-year elevation Level of Service Evaluations Freeboard
