<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />After extensive analysis, a multitude of presentations to the public, and several revisions of the design <br />elements, Alternative No.5 was selected as the preferred solution. Primary reasons for selection of this <br />alternative included: <br /> <br />. Partial protection of Town of Atwood <br />. Best use of existing Pawnee Creek Channel <br />. Best level of protection for Sterling <br />. Partial protection offannlands bordering HWY 6 <br /> <br />In general, it makes the most sense to construct drainage improvements from downstream to upstream. <br />The selected Pawnee Creek project is no exception because upstream improvements will increase flows <br />in the lower reaches. If improvements have not been completed in the lower reaches to properly <br />convey the increased discharges, then flooding conditions can be made worse. Therefore, it is <br />recommended that the Pawnee Creek project be constructed starting downstream. If funds are not <br />available to complete the entire project at one time, then the project can separated into the following <br />phases and constructed in the following order: <br /> <br />1. Riverside Cemetery Construction <br />2. Channel and Levees downstream ofUPRR <br />3. Pawnee Creek mainstem bridges for HWY 6 <br />4. Box culverts under UPRR embankment at Town of Atwood <br />5. Channel cleaning and debris removal upstream ofHWY 6 mainstem bridges <br /> <br />1lI-17 <br />
