<br />The drainage-\vay was divided into several reaches as t,s.bulated belm,,: <br /> <br />TABLE II-I <br /> <br />REACH Ll'lITS <br /> <br />REACH NO. FRON TO <br />l.

Quaker Street ~;'e8t <br /> <br />A. DISCUSSION OF THE REACHES <br /> <br />By dividing the drainage-way into reaches, each reach can be discussed <br />individually as follm,s;" <br /> <br />REACH 1 <br /> <br />This length of channel has remained nearly in the historical condition. <br />During regular maintenance of the Camp -George He8t grounds, the area has <br />been graded, mowed, and cleaned to facilitate. the passage of storm runoff. <br /> <br />The only obstrucU.on to runoff is the cha.in link fence along the West <br />property line. It is considered in all likelihood that during a major <br />storm this fence would be washed out. <br /> <br />REACH 2 <br /> <br />The e..'Cisting 48" CSP culvert located unde.r the dri.vel,ay at Noss Street <br />'.;as installed by the County. During a recent storm the driveway was not <br />washed out even though the driveway ,.;as overtopped by runoff. This testi- <br />fies to the fact that if the culvert is correctly installed, repetitive <br />and costly maintenancE~ can be mi.nimized. The channel above Noss Street has <br />been used as a dump ir. the past years and much of the debris along the <br />banks is floatable. If a large enough storm ",ere to oceur, much of this <br />d3bris would float dOlm to the culvert and plug it. Any designed system <br />can potentially becornE~ inoperative due to debris plugging, and damage.s can <br />and cIa occur. <br /> <br />REACH 3 <br /> <br />The 36" CSP culvert located under Nile St:reet has b,een installed to <br />best fit the existing conditions at the culver~ locatio~. Just above the <br />culvert on the North Eide of the channel sevl~ral residents have constructed <br />garages or sheds ClOSE to the channel. This condition .Limits thE, channeling <br />",hich could be accomplished above the culvert to improve its operation. <br />The channel Hest of Nile Street ",as excavated by the County to alleviate <br />local flooding probleI'C.s. Some of the existing fences and out buildings are <br />nm" at a point of sliding into the channE~1 caused by the continual erosion <br /> <br />6 <br />
