Alignment 1 alone would reflect a decrease in water surface <br />profiles when compared to alignments 1 and 3 in place together. The water <br />surface profiles for these alignaenta are shown on plate 5. Th. profiles <br />were computed using encroachment method 1 in HEC-2 for all discharges. <br />The resulting profiles show the respective water surface heights for the <br />10-, 50-. 100-, and 500-year design levee conditio~. It should be noted <br />that the floodway will need to be reestablished prior to construction of <br />any of the levee alignments. <br /> <br />Kateriab and Foundations. Levees protecting Kalta would be located <br />on a large, flat alluvial flood plain area. Soil borings taken in 1966 <br />for a previous study show that the .oil is predollinantly silt with varying <br />amounts of silty clays. Plate 6 shows a typical levea cross section which <br />was used to estill8te construction costs. as described in a later section. <br /> <br />Levee Dedm Features. The total levee height was detemined by <br />adding the water depth for the design flood event and 3 feet for the free- <br />board allowance. Levee heighta ranged froll 2.5 to 13.5 feet. Because the <br />levees protect an urban area, 3 feet of freeboard height was used. The <br />purpose of freeboard allowance is to provide for those factors that cannot <br />be rationally accounted for in dedgn flood profile computatio~. To <br />prevent overtopping in the vicinity of levee drainage structures, an addi- <br />tional 1 foot of freeboard was used for 100 feet on either dde of the <br />structures. Overtopping can occur near bridges because of debris accUIIIU- <br />lations. An additional 1 foot of freeboard was used extending 100 feet <br />on either siele of the bridgea. <br /> <br />A lIinill\lll levee crown width of 10 feet was used. with wider turn- <br />around areas at intervals, to provide access for normal maintenance and <br /> <br />26 <br /> <br />I <br />
