Cosmopolitan Engineering conducted a hydrologic/hydraulic basin analyses and develop a capital improvement program to mitigate existing and future drainage problems within a 2,500-acre project study area. This included the development of stormwater quality and quantity control strategies, engineering designs, and cost estimates for the implementation of the strategies. In addition, wastewater interceptors were evaluated for capacity, realignment alternatives, and/or sliplining.

Evaluation and analysis of the T Street Gulch Drainage Basin, including alternatives development, modeling, and engineering evaluation that, when implemented, would decrease erosion and sedimentation impacts within the T Street Gulch. Cosmopolitan Engineering Group was also responsible for the environmental coordination of stream assessments, habitat evaluations, and permit acquisition.

Scope Issues:
  Hydraulic/hydrologic modeling
  CIP program development
  Erosion/sedimentation evaluations
  Pipelines in environmentally sensitive areas
  Rehabilitation of natural stream systems

Erosion control and stormwater design elements consisted of channel armor, stormwater conveyance pipe and sedimentation facilities. Channel armoring and rockery construction was conducted in two phases on over 11,000 linear feet of channel and ravine in an urban environment. Stormwater conveyance consisted of more than 2,100 linear feet 48-inch and 72-inch concrete and HDPE piping.

Project Results:
  Reduced in-stream erosion due to urban
      development
  Minimized effects of downstream
      sedimentation
  Established public use areas within an urban
      stream system

Sedimentation Facility

The ten-acre-foot sedimentation facility consisted of an inlet structure, outlet structure, access road, and native vegetation planting plan.
