[FEMA 1982]. In addition to the Occasional Operations characteristics, the infrequent flood will <br />completely submerge the ponds. During large flood events, water may overtop the berm between the <br />ponds and the main channel. It is anticipated that when the berm on the right bank of the main channel <br />overtop; both the channel side and the pond side of the berm will be full of water which will minimize <br />erosion potential. However, breaching of the main channel right bank berm can occur due to normal <br />channel migration. <br />Habitat Opportunities <br />Wide varieties of habitat opportunities have been or with minor modification can be created around the <br />ponds. There are several areas where the shoreline is very flat and the anticipated 2 -foot annual <br />fluctuations in pond water surface elevations will periodically inundate and provide near surface <br />groundwater to several areas including: <br />Pond #1: The northwest corner; <br />Pond #1: The northeast side where overtopping into Pond #3 will occur; <br />Pond #3: The west side where overtopping from Pond #1 will occur; and <br />Pond #3: The northeast corner. <br />Pond #4 features two islands which can provide isolated habitat for some species. Over 9,000 feet of <br />shoreline surrounding approximately 30 acres of open water surface will be provided with the <br />reclamation efforts. <br />COVALC001_Phase 11 Report_082211.docx <br />5.11 ANdERSON CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC. <br />
