Section 10 Combined Plans January 2015

The design pavement elevation for the bridge modification is 629.1 ft NAVD88. Existing storm drainage lines and inlets would be evaluated and the inlets would be raised as appropriate. Traffic signals at the intersection of River Rd and First Ave would also be evaluated and raised as appropriate.

Operation and maintenance of the roadway would continue according to current IDOT practices. The embankments would be inspected annually and filled and/or repaired as needed. Maintenance activities would include control of vegetation, debris removal, and cleaning and repair of retaining walls and culverts.

Costs associated with this project are identified in Table 10.4 at the end of this section.

Groveland Avenue Levee (CAP DPLV01), Riverside (Plate 24)

The existing Groveland Avenue levee would be extended horizontally to tie back the structure to high ground and vertically to provide additional protection to apartments and residences between Park and Pine Avenues. Two feet would be added to the existing levee height, with the levee tying in to existing high ground at elevation 618 ft NAVD88. The probability that this levee would not be overtopped during a 100 year flood event would be greater than 95%. The community may request the Corps to apply to FEMA for accreditation of the levees under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) at the completion of construction.

The height of the existing levee at Groveland Avenue would be increased using a sheet pile wall along the levee, extending approximately 870 feet. At the north end, approximately 1,250 feet of Park Lane and Lincoln Avenue would be raised to connect the levee to high ground. At the south end of the existing levee, a floodwall would extend approximately 700 feet south from Forest Avenue to tie in to high ground, with a road closure structure connecting the segments at Forest Avenue.

The levee and floodwall alignment would be inspected annually. Annual maintenance activities at levee segments would include landscaping and control of vegetation, fill and/or repair as needed, control of vermin that could comprise the structure. Toe drains would be inspected regularly and flushed as needed. Annual maintenance activities at floodwall segments would include cleaning and treating the structure with repairs to waterstops, cracks, railings, and walkways as needed. Road closure structures would be inspected annually with and periodic maintenance would include painting, cleaning, and repairing the gates.

Costs associated with this project are identified in Table 10.4.

Cook County Non-structural (NED Plan and Comprehensive Plan Increment)

The incrementally justified non-structural component of the NED plan in Cook County would protect homes and businesses through a variety of measures. The non-structural measures would be implemented at structures at risk of flooding in the communities of Buffalo Grove, Rosemont, Des Plaines, Wheeling, Unincorporated Wheeling Township and Unincorporated Leyden Township. The measure implemented at each site will be determined according to the feasibility and cost- effectiveness of implementation determined through a site specific evaluation of the structure. Implementation of non-structural measures at individual properties would be voluntary and dependant on verification of structure characteristics and first floor elevations.
