3.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
As previously mentioned in Section 1, Project Area #2 is located along White Oak Bayou on the Northwest corner of the 610 North Loop within the City’s Wastewater Collection Basin known as Basin No. IA041. Within this wastewater collection basin, a portion of the sanitary flows are conveyed from the eastern side of White Oak Bayou to major collection sewers located on the western side via three (3) siphon crossings beneath the bayou. This project is specifically concern with the most northern of the three siphon crossings. At this location, the siphon crossing consist of two cast-iron pipes (6-inch and 8-inch diameter) that cross White Oak Bayou just north of highway 610 North Loop. The influent manhole for siphon

The siphons are designed to convey sanitary flows from a neighborhood subdivision located on the eastern side of White Oak Bayou to the western side of the bayou where the flows enter a 48-inch diameter truck line wastewater collection sewer that flows north to south. This area is of concern due to historical sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) that have occurred from manholes located on the eastern side of the White Oak Bayou at this location. The City has long suspected that the siphons are a significant contributing factor in the occurrences of the SSOs from this area. For this reason, IMS Engineers, Inc. (IMS) was tasked with providing an assessment and evaluation of the existing siphons and making recommendations for improvements (if any). This section of the PER provides the findings and recommendations with the potential of eliminating future SSOs on the upstream side of the siphons (i.e. eastern side); as well as, the results of our evaluation of existing hydraulic capacities of the siphons and associated sewers. Finally, the PER has identified three alternatives as potential solutions for this project area, each is discussed in more detail in later sections of the report; however, in order to place into context the following assessments and likely impacts to the project, one must understand what these
A site called Coobool Creek on the Wakool River, located between Swan Hill and Deniliquin in the Murray River Valley was where G. M. Black accumulated 126 skulls from the suface area near Doherty’s Hut at the Coobool Crossing in 1950 and they were studied by Brown. The 126 crania has been returned to the Aborigines for a reburial. The collection was named the Murray Black collection after G. M. Black who found it and the location in which in was found.
Bienville Parish is one of the 64 parishes in Louisiana. It was established in 1848 and named after Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, or his nickname, Bienville. The parish seat is in Arcadia. Bienville Parish has several cities. Among the well-known cities are Arcadia, Castor, Ringgold, Gibsland, Mount Lebanon, and Saline. As of July 2015, this parish has a population of 14,184. It also has 91 streams and 5 lakes with only one swamp known as Gum Pond. In Bienville Parish, they grow things like watermelons, forage, wheat, vegetables, and short-rotation woody crops.
I find interesting it how foreign influences of the English, French, Spanish and Africans contributed to the diverse and fascinating art and architecture of this country. These collective ideas through art make us aware of the intercultural relationship of the colonists and their foreign rulers during the colonial years.
The report reviews the Centennial Park pond system; it acts as a performance around the outskirts of the flood retention basin, and the report also reviews regarding full flood conservation and water quality norm to find a potential problem in the system and is coming up with improvements.
In 2013, the District promulgated Stormwater Management Regulations as required by a permit issued by EPA for the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). The District has elected to apply these regulations to both the separate and combined sewer system. Notwithstanding that fact, the District and DC Water have agreed in the draft MOU how the regulations will be applied to the GI Controls. The draft MOU provides for DC Water to pay all permit fees and the scope of the stormwater regulations that apply to the GI facilities is substantially reduced compared to a typical development project. This is because the purpose of the GI facilities is to control stormwater and they are not being constructed
Do you know what the definition of Atchafalaya is? It’s a river two hundred and twenty five miles (three hundred and sixty-two kilometers) S Louisiana flowing S into Atchafalaya Bay (inlet of the Gulf of Mexico). IT’s actually pretty interesting. The Atchafalaya is a distributary of the Mississippi. Around the late ninetieth century and early twentieth century a flood happened in Mississippi causing the Atchafalaya River to increase its size of the channel and the carrying capacity. That is until concern started worrying the people because it might capture most of the flow and redirect the Mississippi once again. The congress then directed the U.S. Army of Engineers (Corps) to build a structure to control the water flow. The U.S. Army of Engineers
What scientist say is that in the near future there will not be any Galveston from the sea levels. They predict that Galveston will have flooded, they say that the sea level will rise because of the pollution that is currently being added into the water including the oil that is being dumped into the ocean also. Researchers are trying their best to clean out the ocean, but most likely they won’t get anywhere with trying to clean the ocean. There is so much oil and pollution into the ocean that they won’t be able to do anything about it.
Remodeling an old, ugly bathroom can add value to your life and home without costing an arm and a leg. And Re-Bath of Central Texas is here to do the job right. Owner Marcos Fernandez opened his business in 2013 by offering bathroom remodeling, walk-in shower and walk-in tub. Re-Bath is an inexpensive way to quickly give a bathroom a fresh, new face since it is a custom job that provides years of durability and ease of maintenance. “We saw a great opportunity to service the Central Texas area with our unique products and services,” said Fernandez. Its one- stop shop approach from design consultation to installation, which is done by its own fulltime employees not subcontractors, is one of the features that makes Re-Bath of Central Texas unique.
Our barn included extensive surface and subsurface drainage system which all drained via a 2x2x100ft french-drain to a rock wall past our house. Shepler has made a lot of assumptions about the drainage however he did not witness what we constructed. Our barn-side ditch was adequate for our purposes of clearing run-off from barn approaches, 1/4 of the barn roof, pathway and overhang as demonstrated by surviving Irene without any damage to the barn area, ditch or area behind our house.

Essentially teh sewer system channels storm water runoff and sewage into two trenches bu througha a single pipe essentally what that means is our waste could interact with what goes down the sewer grate and into teh donriver and Tornto Harbour The Toronto official plan is used as a planning tool for future expansion or renovation of the city. According to Official Plan Policies for Natural Environment: “To support strong communities, a competitive economy and a high quality of life, public and private city-building activities and changes to the built environment, including public works, will be environmentally friendly” (City of Toronto, 2011) Upon investigation of the secondary plans within Toronto, there is a lack of attention for the future of water treatment and waste and rather more attention towards community growth and economic opportunities. The King-Parliment secondary plan for example makes no mention of how wastewater is treated. Within Front and Parliament, also known as the entry to the Distillery is a large empty parking lot. This lots existence is there because of the old and outdated pipes below the surface have never been fixed, or removed making the site dangerous to build on. Thomas H. Harrison, city engineer in I856, was one of the plannings to propose drains towards
Army Corps came up with a plan and put it into motion in the nineteen-fifties in an effort to keep the Mississippi independent. To get the result they wanted in the future they knew they had to build a structure that would dam the river, so that the flow between the Atchafalaya and Mississippi would be under their control. To accomplish complete control they decided to build a Lock and Dam. This structure dubbed “Old River Control” spans over the Old River at a staggering five-hundred-and-sixty-feet. It consists of two sills - a high and low sill. The low sill is the most important of the two as it deals with the water which passes between the Atchafalaya and Mississippi daily. However, the high sill acts as the valve which relieves the Mississippi during times of flood. The engineers who took part in this feat knew that they could not just walk away when they were finished with the construction of the structure. The “Old River Control” project had to be vigilantly monitored indefinitely. It would have to be monitored in times of flood and drought. The Atchafalaya acted as a relief when the Mississippi took on too much water. Water would flow into the Atchafalaya in times of flooding, which in turn relieved some of the pressure put on the Mississippi and kept from washing away major cities like New Orleans. There are experts and professionals at Old River Control at all times because nature can counterattack at any time and the U.S. Army Corps knows that. If nature catches the Corps off guard they know that they will lose, therefore they keep a close eye on the inconspicuous Old River. Unfortunately for the U.S. Army Corps, it did not matter how close of an eye they kept on the structure because nature had a plan to regain control. In the year 1973, there were large amounts of precipitation, which in turn led to massive amounts of flood water bombarding the lock and dam. The water caused the rapid deterioration of the structure. The structure was deemed
These tasks go hand and hand with the City Public Works Drainage Division which administrates permits, and is responsible for the implementation and the execution of stormwater best management practices through the use of various resources such as personnel, and medium and heavy equipment. Public Works maintains more than 350 miles of storm sewer drainage system within the City and approximately 150 miles of drainage ditches and thousands of storm water inlets. Public Works crews work continually throughout the year removing trash and debris, mowing drainage ditches, vacuuming stormwater inlets, as well as other tasks to maintain a healthy drainage infrastructure. Unfortunately, the City is faced with the challenges of sustaining its extensive MS4 program and existing drainage infrastructure due to the lack of additional financial resources. Certain sections of the City’s drainage system are more than 50 years old and deteriorating. As the City continues to grow and expand, the need for repairs, retrofitting and maintaining the City’s existing infrastructure is as equally important as creating new capital projects.
In 1996 the city of Cleveland began a $750 million Plant Enhancement Program. The program’s goal was to renovate and modernize the city’s four water treatment facilities, which are among the 10 largest in the US, and were built in 1856; over 500 million gallons of water are pumped to Cleveland residents daily. In the following paper I attempt to provide with an overview of the Baldwin
