Drainageway J-2 has an incised channel from the confluence to the

stock pond at Station 11+10. The slope in this reach is approximately
4.4%. The drainageway from the stock pond to Station 57+00 is a broad
expanse of sheet flow with minor discontinuous channels with depths of
1 to 3 feet. The channel crosses Alameda Parkway in this reach. The

drainageway slope in this poorly defined reach is 3.2%.
The upper portion of Drainageway J-2 has an incised trapezoidal
to V-shape, with adequate capacity to contain the 100 year discharge.
The slopes in this reach vary from 5.0% to 25%. Drainageway J-3 has
a very incised V-shaped channel adequate to convey the 100 year flood.
The slopes range up to 23%.
The flood hazards in this reach consist of erosion, debris removal

high velocity, deep channel flows.

The channel in this reach, designated Drainageway J-l, is
tributary to Rooney Gulch (Drainageway J) at Station 259+00 near Rooney
Road. Drainageway J-l has a westerly aspect and the channel section is
generally an incised V-shaped except for the alluvial fan immediately
above the Rooney Road crossing. Dense shrubbery crosses the channel in a

vary from 3.7% near Rooney Road to 20% in the upper reaches.
