Hydraulic Analysis. To determine the impacts associated with the project, floodplain hydraulic geometric models will be prepared for the portion of the creek system where the bridge will be located. The analysis will extend approximately a minimum of 1,000 feet upstream and downstream of the proposed bridge location in order to adequately assess project impacts. Available previously prepared floodplain hydraulic and floodway analysis performed by other investigators or agencies will be reviewed to ensure consistency with results and the hydraulic model variables. The floodplain evaluation will include the analysis of two different conditions, (1) baseline condition or an effective floodplain model reflecting the existing condition of the natural floodplain prior to the proposed bridge construction, and (2) developed condition or modified floodplain analysis, which includes the modifications of the floodplain for the proposed bridge crossing and potential encroachment within the floodplain. The hydraulic analysis will establish the water surface profiles and hydraulic parameters, which identify the characteristics of the floodplain. The floodplain will be evaluated utilizing the one dimensional water surface profile program developed by the Army Corps of Engineers, HEC-RAS. The hydrologic data for the 100-year flowrates which will be incorporated into floodplain model will be based upon previous hydrologic information and no additional regional hydrology will be performed as part of this study unless through separate addendum. Channel geometric data will be obtained from digital topographic mapping provided by OCPW for this project.

Hydraulic Analysis. Hydraulic parameters (water surface elevations and velocity) will be obtained from the Army Corps of Engineers HEC-RAS (Hydraulic Engineering Center River Analysis System) model based on: 1) The HEC model available from FEMA through Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Jr., 2) 8 to 10 channel cross sections by the consultant team to validate and extend the topography in the model upstream, 3) as-built data provided by Caltrans, 4) and a reconnaissance level field investigation by Xxxxx and Associates. Calibration: Calibration data will be researched to determine if any highwater elevations were recorded for the flood of record. If calibration data can be found, it will be used to calibrate the HEC-RAS model by running the HEC-RAS model and adjusting the model parameters until the discharge associated with the highwater marks can be replicated with the model. Variable discharges will be input into HEC-RAS to determine the discharge that provides a water surface elevation of matching the calibration data. Calibration data was used to validate the hydraulic model for the bridge. The Hydraulic Model – HEC-RAS Analysis: The river reach will be described. Xxxxxxx’x “n” values for the channel and overbank will be estimated from field investigation and engineering judgment. Two steps will be used to develop the HEC-RAS Models. Obtain the existing HEC model Obtain existing model from FEMA through Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Jr. Xxxxx and Associates will complete a survey request outlining the location and extent of cross section data necessary to check the survey data from the available HEC- RAS hydraulic model and extend the model upstream of the existing bridge. It is expected that eight to ten cross sections would be required. Proposed Bridge Model The HEC-RAS model will be re-run for various design discharges for the proposed replacement bridge. The model will also incorporate any encroachment from bridge approach fills. The hydraulic variables (water surface elevation, velocity etc.) will be determined for the design discharge, 50- and 100- year discharges estimated under Task 2 above. Results from the hydraulic analysis will be provided in both tabular as well as graphical output formats for the consultant team. Hydraulic Criteria: Chapter 800 of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual (HDM) delineates the hydraulic design criteria for bridges. The basic rule for hydraulic design is that bridges should be designed to pass the Q50 with sufficient freeboard and convey the Q100 without freeboard, except...

Hydraulic Analysis. Per Section 1.6.1 Exemptions to the CDC Process of CDC Manual 4th Edition, small-scale projects that cause minimal change in ground surface elevation and no decrease in hydraulic conveyance and valley storage for the 100-year flood may be exempt from the CDC Process. As the Project is expected to qualify for this exemption, only Part 1 of the CDC Application is required for CDC approval. Hydraulic modeling will therefore be limited to the following:
