Box 9960 RE: NOTICE OF NON-COMPLIANCE 1101 Texas Avenue Tet. 409 764 3500 with Chapter 13, City of College Station Code of Ordinances Lot 42, Block 1, Harvey Hillsides Subdivision (Highway 30 at Pamela Lane) Dear Mr. Dudiey, College Station, TX 77842 It has come to our attention that grading on the above referenced site is being performed without a development permit. This grading includes filling in of a small tributary of Caters Creek. Chapter 13, § 3.B of the City of College Station Code of Ordinances requires a development permit prior to any development within the City of College Station. Appropriate action must be taken immediately to bring this site into compliance to ensure the health, safety and welfa;e of our community. This shall include the installation of erosion controls and removal of,all fill placed in the drainage way. No additional work is permitted on the site until a development permit is issued. An application for a development permit shall be submitted within five (5) working days of receipt of this notice to remedy the modification of the drainage way already performed. If action on your part can not reasonably be taken immediately, please provide written documentation of the item not implemented the reason for the delay, and the expected tim e'. frame for implementation. Failure to comply with this City Ordinance will resul t in enforcement action taken in accordance with Chapter 13 , § 7 of the Code of Ordinances. ' If you have any questions or do not understand any of these requirements , pleas.e call me at (979) 764-3570. Thank you for you cooperation. s"/iiZA, (:4__ Jeff Tondre, P.E. Civil Engineer xc: Ted Mayo, P .E., Asst City Engineer Natalie Ruiz, Development Coordinator Jon Mies, Fire Marshal Home of Texas A&M University c. Q2 A3 --.. where g B Q = discharge in cf s 32.2 ft/sec 2 g = A = cross-sectional area of flow in ft 2 B = top width of flow in f:. The terms A and B can be expressed as functions of each other or the depth of flow, d, for channels of uniform cross-section. For non-uniform cross-sections, a rating curve of critical depth versus discharge shall be constructed. Once the discharge Q, area A, and depth d are determined, the slope necessary to produce these conditions in a channel can be computed from Xanning's Equation. Design of Open Channels 1. Physical Considerations a. Cross-Section Geometry Ref er to Figure 1li-\ minimum standards. Alternate channel sections are acceptable provided they meet the intent of these standards. b. Minimum and Maximum Grades Minimum grade shall be .004 ft/ft (.40%) for earth or vegetative lined channels to prevent formation of standing water. Xaximum grade shall be less than .7 of the calculated critical slope values for the range of flows. An exception is for channels specifically designed to function with supercritical flow, and that possess the necessary linings and energy dissipation structures to contain the resulting high velocities and hydraulic jump (Ref. Sec ti on X). Channels designed to function with supercritical flow are limited to straight sections having a minimum grade greater than 1.3 of the calculated c ritical slope values for the range of flows. I I ' c. Horizontal Curves Provide additional channel bank height and s urface treatment on outs i de curves to prevent erosion an d overtopping caused by design flows. d. Erosion Protect i on ~easures 1 . Channel earth banks and inverts shall be seeded o r sodded according to the requirements of t h e Ci t y of College Station Standard Spec i ficat l on For Str~et Construction. 2. Design velocities shall be less than th e recommended velocity of flow for the proposed surface treatment used (Table VII-2). wnere multiple surface treatments are used, the l imiting velocity shall be the minimum recommended value of all types of surface treatment being used. 3 . All locat i ons where stormwater enters the channel shall have erosion a~d/ or energy di ssipation measures to protect the channel lining and section . 4. Channels designed to function with supercritical flow shall be lined appropriately to handle the resulting veloc i ties and possess energ y dissipation structures. 2 . Flow Consideration a. Design Flows 1. Channel capacity shall be determined for t he discharge from a 25 year storm for the ultimate basin development c onditions. 2. 3. Channels sha ll be designed to fl ow eit h er subcrit i cal o r su percritical for · the range of discharges resul ting f rom the 5 year, 10 year, 25 year , and 10 0 year storms for ex i sting a nd ultimate basi n de velopment conditions. Concrete inverts o f trapezoidal channels shall he designed to c 3rr y 1 /3 the peak discharge of a 5 year s t o r ~ fJr :he ul timate basin d evelopme n: c ondi t ions , ~1 t h no requ i rement for freeboard. 55 I I I I b. Velocity Limitation 1. Velocity of flow shall not be less than 2.5 ft/sec for the design storm, except for temporary earth channels. 2. ~aximum velocities for the design flow shall !:le less than the values given in Table VII-2 for the type of surface treatment specified. c. Freeboard Requirements Channels shall be designed with additional freeboard equal to .20 times the design depth of flow, but not less than .5 feet. D. ~odification to Natural watercourses 1. General a. All modifications to natural channels shall meet the requirements of open channel sections. b. Modifications shall be defined as permanent physical changes in the alignment, cross-section geometry, and surface treatment of the channel and over bank ~reas. Mai .ntenance and removal of excess vegetation are not considered permanent changes. c. Changes to channel sections are encouraged to be part of a masterplan for the modification of a complete length of a regulatory reach of the Primary System. Changes to short reaches of channel must demonstrate compatibility to similar modifications along the length of the regulatory reach. d. Minor encroachments, consisting of fill and earth changes in the existing defined floodway fringe areas, are permitted on a individual site basis without regar d to a masterplan for the regulatory reach of the channel. Any encroachment shall meet all requirements listed in the following secti9ns. 2. Determination of Floodway and Floodplain Areas a. For natural streams ~art of the Primary Draina ~e System, a comprehensive ~ydraulic model referred to =-= ~he College Station Flood Study has been adopted. T~:.:; .. 1 study shall be used as the source of floodway and floodplain areas for streams and channels of the Primary System. b. For streams and channels not part of the Primary Drainage System, floodway and floodplain areas shall be determined by extending the adopted flood study using the standard step procedure. ~ew flood discharges, as required, shall be computed using the methods outlined in Section III of the guide. c. 1he floodway shall be determined using an encroachment method based upon equal conveyance reduction f ram each side of the channel overbank. An allowable rise of one foot in water surface elevation for the 100 year flood will be permitted. However, the limits of encroachment shall not extend-into the designated channel area (See Figure VII-2). 3. Design Consideration a. Water Surface Profiles Proposed changes in c hannel section or alignment shall not increase the existing or ultimate flood elevations as established within or upstream of the area of modification by the adopted Flood Study. For streams or channels outside of the Primary System, existing and ultimate flood elevations shall be established by extending the adopted Flood Study as per VII. D. 2. b. above. b. Hydrologic Analysis f or System Impacts When existing channels are straightened, improved in cross-section, and /or lined their efficiency increases. This results in lower basin travel times and t ·imes of concentration, as well as loss of over bank storage capacity. All of these cause higher flood discharges and resulting higher flood elevation downstream of the area o f improvement. Any changes to channels within the Pr im ar y System shall be accompan i ed by a reanalysis of t :-te hy dr ol ogic model (both current condition and ulti:nate co ndition) of the adopted Fl ood ".., t I I I I I I Study. The changes will be reflected in the routing reaches and lag factors for affected channel reaches and basins. Downstream impacts shall be reviewed to prevent damage to existing property and structures. Key i terns to identify are the effect of higher discharges at bridges and culverts, and the change in flood elevations. Channel improvements shall not cause a rise in flood discharges that will exceed crossing structure capacity and shall not raise the ultimate 100 year flood elevations. c. Redefinition ·cf Floodplain and Floodway Areas . d. When existing channels are straightened, improved in cross-section and/or lined, existing floodplain and floodway areas are altered. These changes shall be made part of the· adopted Flood Study and submitted to the required authorities. Redefinition shall follow the methodology for floodway determination outlined in VII.D. 2. c. above. Transition Sections The modified channel section shall be preceded and followed by transitions to the existing upstream and downstream channels. These transitions should be gradual to prevent the formation of excess energy losses and turbulence in c:he flow, or the creation of inappropriate velocities in the upstream or downstream channels. Abrupt changes in section, profile, or alignment must be accompanied by the appropriate energy dissipation structures. 58 l l j J j I j f I h • 6 MINIMUM -VfG[TATIVt C~t" h•2MINIMUM -l.INED COVE" TRIANGULAR CHANNEL NOTl : CONC"ETE, "[IN'O"CING ANO JOINTS SHALL It AS ~t" STANDA"O CONC"tTt SIDEWALK DETAIL .
