Re: Response to ltems 5 & 6 of Conditions Prior to lssuance, Board of County Commissioners
- Public Hearing Exhibits, Water Storage Facility lncluding lVlaterials Handling for a Water
Draw Pumping Station, Limited lmpact Review, June 10, 2013 (File LIPA-7533)
Dear Commissioners,
This letter is in response to conditions 5 & 6 of the Limited lmpact review for the Water Storage
Facility lncluding Materials Handling for a Water Draw Pumping Station dated June 10, 2013.
5. A flood study was completed by Buys & Associates for the development of the existing bridge
that crosses Parachute Creek 140 ft south of the proposed pump house. The topographical data
used in that study was provided by W. H. Smith & Associates. After correction the 100-yr flood
elevation is found to be 5594.1 ft at the pump house and proposed finished floor for the pump
house is 5596.0 ft. The pump house will be approximately L.9 ft above the 100-yr flood. The pump
house location will be secure from unreasonable flood impacts.
6. a) Parachute Creek's banks are armored in the immediate vicinity of the pump house. The
pumping arm support columns will be integrated with existing armoring to protect against
potential scour.
b) The bottom elevation of the proposed pumping arm is 5597.5 ft. The corrected elevation for
the 100-yr flood elevation at the pump house is 5594.1 ft. This provides the pump arm with
approximately 3.4 ft of clearance above the 100-yr flood elevation. The pump arm will be relatively
safe from all but the most impassable of debris.
c)As noted, the proposed pumping arm will be approximately 3.4 ft higher than the peak flood
stage of the 100-yrflood event. The hose isto be retractable and flexible. Both of these design
features will serve to protect the hose from potential debris damage. There is no need to provide
this facility with a retractable pump arm in addition to the clearance provided.
d) The proposed location for the pump arm support column will have negligible impact on the
carrying capacity of Parachute Creek.
