MALO , MAYOR ATTEST: APPROVED: ,r, CHAPTER 5 STORM SEWER DESIGN CRITERIA 5.1 GENERAL PROVISIONS Drainage Criteria for development within the City of La Porte, and where applicable within La Porte's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (E.TJ.) is dependent upon the size and type of development, the conditions within the individual watershed, the conditions or design of the receiving stream, bayou, channel, roadside swale, culvert, or roadway. The basic objective of this policy is to minimize the threat of flooding to areas within the City and its E. T J. and to minimize the effect of continued development on individual watersheds. 1. The City believes that the best long-term means of accomplishing its objective is a continued program of improvement and extension of the Harris County Flood Control District's system of open channels. This statement recognizes the technical reality that an essential prerequisite to an effective flood control program is a system of open channels capable of carrying stonn runoff of any type in Harris County to Galveston Bay without adversely impacting existing urban areas adjacent to the channels. 2. The City recognizes that both District's and City's existing open channel system is, in many instances, inadequate to accomplish the goal of eliminating existing flooding conditions for existing levels of urban development, or for ultimate development in the watershed. 3. The City therefore recommends that where required, certain additional flood control facilities be utilized to supplement the open channel system. Such flood control facilities shall be desigried to preclude flooding in areas that do not presently flood and not increase flood levels where flooding now occurs. Specifically, the City supports the use of storm water detention to supplement the open channel system until long-term channel improvements can be completed, or as permanent facilities where additional open channel improvements are not feasible. The result will be that new development will limit or restrict the impact downstream. 5.1.1 All the drainage plans and construction shall meet or exceed the requirements of the City of La Porte, Harris County Flood Control, Harris County, TxDOT, or any other entities having jurisdiction over a facility (i.e. roadway, channel, etc.). 5.1.2 Unless otherwise provided for in these policies, development shall follow the Harris County Flood Control District Criteria Manual for the design of Flood Control and Drainage Facilities in Harris County, Texas. 5.1.3 If application of the policies and criteria contained in this document conflict with the City's duties under the Flood Hazard Prevention Ordinance, the regulations of the Flood Hazard Prevention Ordinance shall apply. 5.1.4 Drainage structures shall be constructed in such locations and of such size and dimensions to adequately serve the development and the contributing drainage area. In new developments, the developer shall provide all the necessary easements and rights-of-way required for drainage structures, including storm sewer and open or lined channels. 5.2 CONSTRUCTION PLAN REQUIREMENTS 5.2.1 A drainage map shall be included in the construction plans. The drainage area map shall include: A. Drainage areas, including areas draining from off-site onto or adjoining the project Stonnwater Criteria Page 1 of 10 B. Design storm runoff, based on the type of facility and storm frequency listed in Section 5.4. C. 100 - year runoff D. Route of overland flow including the overflow to a drainage channel or detention facility E. Water surface profiles for the 25-year and/or 100-year storms in the outfall channel. All available information will be considered when making this determination. F. Flow per inlet G. Maximum ponding elevation 5.2.2 Detailed drainage calculations shall be submitted with the construction plans. 5.2.3 A lot grading plan should demonstrate that the finished grading plan will drain to approved collection and discharge points and that the overland flow of water from adjacent properties will not be impacted 5.2.4 The hydraulic gradient for the design storm may be shown on the construction drawings. Calculations for the elevation for the hydraulic gradient shall be provided with the design storm drainage calculations. The hydraulic gradient must be below the gutter line for the design storm. The tailwater elevations based on a 25-year frequency in the outfall channel shall be used for calculations of the hydraulic gradient. 5.3 USE OF PREVIOUSLY DESIGNED AND INSTALLED INFRASTRUCTURE Situations where previously installed infrastructure is in place but not yet utilized to its design capacity will be considered on a case by case basis. The developers engineer shall after consultation with the City, prepare a report that: a. outline the original design criteria b. evaluates the impact of the original design on the receiving stream, adjoining properties and/or the 100 year Floodplain. Based on the report, the City Engineer may allow full or partial use of the previously installed infrastructure and may require it to be supplemented with detention or other facilities. 5.4 STORM FREQUENCY, RUNOFF AND DATUM A. Storm Frequency All drainage improvements shall be designed for the following storm frequencies. Tvpe of Facility Road Side Ditches and Culverts Storm Sewers Ditches & Culverts Drainage 100 acres and more Bridges Creeks Detention Facilities 3 year 3 year 25 year 100 year 100 year Refer to Section 5.5 B. Storm Runoff Design flow of storm water runoff is to be calculated using the Rational Method. The Rational Method is based on the direct relationship between rainfall and runoff, and the method is expressed by the following equation: Storm water Criteria Page 2 of 10 Q = CIA, where Q is the storm flow at a given point in cubic feet per second (c.f.s). C is a coefficient of runoff (see Table 1). I is the average intensity of rainfall in inches per hour for a period equal to the time of flow from the farthermost point of the drainage area to the point under consideration. (See figure 1, I-D-F Curves and Figure 2, Determination of Time of Concentration) A is the drainage area in acres The size and shape of the watershed must be determined for each installation. The area of each watershed may be determined through the use of planimetric-topographic maps of the area, supplemented by field surveys in areas where topographic data has changed or where the contour interval is insufficient to adequately determine the direction of flow. The outline of the drainage area contributing to the system being designed and outline of the sub-drainage area contributing to each inlet point shall be determined. When calculating the peak flow rate of storm runoff, rainfall intensity will be determined from the rainfall intensity, duration and frequency curves, shown in Figure 1. The storm frequency used for this determination will be according to the facility to be designed as listed in Section A. 1. Runoff Coefficients and Time of Concentration Runoff coefficients, as shown in Table 1, shall be the minimum used, based on total development under existing land zoning regulations. Where land uses other than those listed in Table I are planned, a coefficient shall be developed utilizing values comparable to those shown. Larger coefficients may be used if considered appropriate to the project by the City Engineer. The time of concentration is defined as the longest time, without unreasonable delay, that will be required for a drop of water to flow from the upper limit of a drainage area to the point of concentration. The time of concentration to any point in a storm drainage system is a combination of the "inlet time" and the time of flow in the drain. The inlet time is the time for water to flow over the surface of the ground to the storm drain inlet. Because the area tributary to most storm sewer inlets is relatively small, it is customary in practice to determine the inlet time on the basis of experience under similar conditions. Inlet time decreases as the slope and the imperviousness of the surface increases, and it increases as the distance over which the water has to travel and retention by the contact surfaces. Time of concentration shall be computed from Figure 2m and in no case shall the inlet time be more that the time shown in Table 1.

Under normal circumstances our 2 bush hog mowers averages 14 work days to complete a cycle. It takes about 21 work days for the 2 slope mowers to complete a cycle. Our operations usually begin in March and continue to November. Our cycle is comprised of the following: 1. East side - S. Virginia to S. Blackwell, south from Main to Garfield 2. Bay Mud - Garfield to Bay Colony 3. South side - S. 1 st to S. 7th and from Main to Little Cedar Bayou 4. North side - N. 1 st to N. 8th, N. 11th to N. 16th row, S. 11th to S. 16th 5. Spenwick - Carlow to Andricks and from Underwood to Canada 6. Lomax - entire area except N. H, N. L, N. P and Lomax School Rd. In the winter months the mowing crew mows as needed clears all alleys of brush and debris in preparation for the new mowing season, trim low hanging tree limbs in street right of ways, and street sign maintenance. The drainage maintenance program cleans and redefines all ditches in the city on a rotating schedule. We also reset culverts as needed to improve the overall runoff from rain events. It takes between 3 and 4 years to complete each cycle under normal conditions. The schedule is as follows: East side - currently doing maintenance here. Estimated completion is May, 2008 South side - begins after East side and estimated date for completion is Dec. 2008 North side - estimate is March, 2009 completion Lomax - estimated completion is Oct. 2009 Spenwick - estimated completion date is May 2010 Bay Mud - estimate is January 2011 Ibis estimate is based upon normal circumstances and is subj ect to change due to weather or equipment problems. We will be reconstructing Bay Mud as we receive design from Engineering. We will go back through Bay Mud in 2011 to maintain the area. The following are comments from the Drainage Maintenance Supervisor in reference to Bob's Gulley and Deer Creek. Drainage Survey of Bob's Gulley and Deer Creek Bob's Gulley Harris County Flood Control has done a good job maintaining the slope vegetation. It has been recently mowed from the no end to Park Street. The section from Park to the bay is under tidal influence and nO slope maintenance has been done. The flm lines could be redefined but are clear of any obstructions. There are several places where the slopes have some erosion and slippage. Overall it is in good shape. Deer Creek Harris County Flood Control recently went through and cleaned the under brush and slopes are in good shape. The flow lin has been cleaned and is open all the way from Ohio Park to the bay. There are a few low hanging trees that could be trimmed back. The section from East "E" St. to the bay is under tidal influence and no slope maintenance has been done. Please advise if you need additional information.

During the spring and summer months, typically March through September, we do not operate under a preset schedule where we sweep each area of the city on a rotating basis. Instead, either Danny Cavazos, street supervisor, or I do a drive through of each subdivision and make a list of the streets needing swept. The list is given to the operator with instructions to only sweep what is on the list. While sweeping thoroughfares, the operator is instructed to visually check all side streets as he passes them. Again, he is asked to only sweep the ones in need and not the entire subdivision to make the best use of his time. In the fall and winter months, we do a more thorough sweep of the city. Shortly after the leaves start falling, we begin an intensive cleaning campaign to keep the residential streets as clean as possible. This entails sweeping all streets in each subdivision on a rotating schedule. It normally takes us three weeks to complete a full sweep of the city. This is continued as long as the leaves keep falling. After most leaves are swept off the streets, we then begin our annual maintenance of storm inlets. We physically inspect each inlet for accumulated leaves and debris. This debris is sucked out with our sweeper and the storm pipes are jetted clean. This takes place primarily in the winter months. This comprises our sweeper operations. Please advise if you have any questions.

Over the recent past years we have lived with garage, yard and landscape flooding when there is a heavy rain due to inadequate drainage caused by major building in adjacent areas since 1989 and inept drainage design to support the West end of Fairmont Park East. Over the past years we have absorbed the cost, performed the work and moved on. On August 16,2007, a heavy rain occurred and my garage flooded, causing $2,112.00 worth of damage to property/personal effects. This time we filed a claim with the insurance, the insurance Representative inspected the damage. After depreciation, the insurance offered $225.00 to make us whole. This equates to a personal monetary loss of $1,887.00. I am not financially capable enough to afford this monetary loss. On October 13, 2007, I visited FEMA and applied for a grant to recover the Depreciated amount I incurred due to the flooding. FEMA rejected my request for a grant to make me whole. They stated that it was not FEMA that was responsible for the flooding problem. They did offer a loan to make me whole, which meant I was still loosing $ 1,887.00. I am here today asking the city of Laporte to reimburse me the $1,887.00 depreciation loss. I also request a fair market value home buyout as it is the cities inept drainage system at the west end of Dogwood Drive which causes flooding. Without an improved re-designed drainage system there is no reason for me to think my garage and home will not be flood prone during future hard rain events or a desirable purchase for a future buyer at fair market value.
