Excavation i. more <br />desireable from a safety-environmental and land-use point of view; <br />therefore, this approach has been chosen. The cut will begin at the <br />ra~road property Une just south of the railroad bridge and will <br />reach full depth at or before Waynoka Road. From this poillt the <br />channel will continue at a constant slope to Galley Road. Tran,ition <br />to the narrow channel will take place before Palmer park BlVd. <br /> <br />Dimensions and elevations of the drainage structure at the Palmer <br /> <br /> <br />Park Blvd. crossing are as follows: (See attached plan for details) <br /> <br /> <br />Natural elevation bottom of stream. . 6303' <br /> <br />Elevation at bottom of channel . . . . 6300.2' <br />Elevation at top of channel . . 6308.2' <br />Width at bottom . . . . . . 108' <br /> <br />Width at top . . . . . . . . . . . .. 124' <br /> <br />Centerline location. . . . . . . .. 251.34' east ofl/16 carper <br />Elevation of bridge deck. . . . .. 6315.2' <br />Reali~ing that the design,of the bridge opening generally 4ete~nes <br />the overall length, and this to a degree controls the final cOSt, a <br />Darrow channel has been designed. ..As a result, the flow i/l more 'upef- <br />critical than in the wider channel. The clear bridge opening should <br />permit the flow to pass unimpeded and unchanged in cross section. <br />Sudden changes in the velocity of the discharge caused by obstruction_ <br />could result in excessive turbulence, backwater effect, floodina and <br />erosion. If piers in the channel are necessary, they should be of <br />minimum cross section and streamlined. PAers should be skewed at an <br />o <br />angle of 63 33' 48". . <br />5 <br /> <br />. <br />, <br /> <br />-, <br /> <br />...-"' <br /> <br />. .."," <br /> <br />'. <br /> <br />. <br />
