it Channel Designs The surface water diversion dimensions were determined using Mannings Equation for open channel flow. All channels will be either gravel- or vegetated-lined channels. If flow velocities exceed 6 feet per second, the channels will be lined with riprap or erosion will be controlled with the use of rock check dams. Channels will be designed with a 0.3 foot freeboard. For channels where rock check dams or straw bales are installed, a 1 foot Freeboard was added to the design depth. The Elk Creek postmine channel will also be designed with a 1 toot freeboard. Riprap sizes were determined using Paden, OSM or limiting velocity methods. Given the uncertainty in determining riprap sizes for steep grades, a factor of safety of 3 inches was added to the riprap Dso designed using the Paden method. The limiting velocities were detettnined from the "Erosion and Sediment Pollution Control Program Manual", Bureau of Land and Water Conservation, Pennsylvania. The limiting velocities are shown in the channel design section. The Elk Creek channel was designed using the Simons/OSM method which includes abuilt-in factor-of-safety. Riprap will consist of durable rock resistant to weathering with a uniform gradation.
