VHI. CONCLUSIONS <br />The proposed improvements analyzed in this report show that significant flood control <br />benefits will be gained with the implementation of the proposed channel improvements and <br />linear detention pond. upstream of SH 146. The first project, which includes improvements <br />up to the Southern Pacific Railroad (SPRR), will reduce. the 100 year water surface elevation <br />by more than a foot (1.46') and will reduce the 100 year top width by as much as 3,354' at <br />West Barbours Cut Boulevard. This project is estimated to cost approximately $2 million. <br />The second project analyzed in this report included improving the channel all the way to Sens <br />Road. This project produced the same results up to SPRR as the first project. Upstream of <br />SPRR the 100 year water surface elevation is reduced an additional 0.31' over the first project <br />at Sens Road, and the 100 year top width is reduced more than the first project by more than <br />950' downstream of Sens Road. The second project is estimated to cost approximately $3.2 <br />million. Table 1, following this page, summarizes the flood control benefits and construction <br />costs of the plans discussed in this report. <br />Based on the standard analysis techniques and rainfall patterns used in this study, the proposed <br />improvements presented in this report will produce mo adverse effects on the Little Cedar <br />Bayou Watershed, or adjoining. areas. <br />16 <br />Binkley & Barfield, Inc.
