Green Valley Drainageways Erosion Hazards and Improvements Study
Pima County Flood Control District
RSE provided engineering services to document erosion hazards and drainageway improvement requirements. RSE's report summarized the physical status of the drainageways, areas in need of major repairs or remediation, stable areas that require minor repairs, and areas that require routine maintenance and inspection.
Citation Wash Drainage, 22nd Street to Alvernon Way
City of Tucson Department of Transportation
RSE evaluated the watershed hydrologically and hydraulically and explored possible flood relief actions that could be completed within the project's physical and economic constraints. The length of the main channel within the project limits is approximately 1.1 miles. RSE provided documentation for input to the City's Stormwater System Planning for verification of the TSMS hydrology results for the watersheds contributing runoff to the project area, provided documentation of existing hydraulic conditions of Citation Wash and identified any adverse flooding conditions, and proposed measures to mitigate the identified adverse flooding conditions.
Rillito Floodplain Mapping
Pima County Flood Control District
This project consisted of preparing and submitting a request for a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for approximately 12.5 river miles of floodplain and floodway along Rillito Creek. RSE's services included the collection of digital data, determination of flood hazard zones, and the preparation of the FEMA LOMR.
Agua Caliente Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) Finalization
Pima County Flood Control District
RSE conducted a detailed review of all computer modeling runs, work maps and bridge and levee as-built information to determine if floodplain boundaries and floodways were correctly delineated. RSE determined if the hydraulic model had been correctly tied to flood boundaries and flood profiles for Tanque Verde Creek and modified and updated the model. RSE modified the hydraulic model and overlaid and compared effective FIRM floodplain and floodway boundaries onto existing and proposed boundaries, prepared new FIRM sheets and hydraulic work maps showing the revised boundaries and identified the affected property owners within the floodplain, provided analysis regarding compliance of the levee and spur dike upstream of Tanque Verde Road with the hydraulic requirements set forth in the FEMA regulations.
