1.0 INTRODUCTION AND STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING
Tetra Tech, Inc. (Tetra Tech) has prepared this proposal for the City of Middleton to develop a Master Plan for the restoration and improvements in the Pheasant Branch Corridor. Tetra Tech has supported municipalities similar to Middleton over the last two decades on a wide range of construction, engineering, planning, environmental, and community Tetra Tech is at the forefront of the outreach projects. Through our work, we technical skills required in this proposal have provided value added and innovative solutions to support city’s As the No. 1 water firm and No. 4 design efforts to restore and improve waterways firm in the nation, Tetra Tech offers our by incorporating resiliency to flooding clients unique services, such as ecological into our designs. In addition, we have restoration, GI and stormwater mitigation designed and constructed a variety of projects. Our experience with grant bridges, green infrastructure strategies projects provides the City of Middleton with and ecological parks for municipalities the confidence of a project manager that throughout the Midwest. We have also will ensure the project is on time and worked with many types of workforces budget. For over 20 years, Tetra Tech has including community groups to build conducted studies, mitigation plans, and exciting landscapes that benefit the design/build projects to address flooding at overall communities and provide access the state, county, municipal level in a to rich ecological habitats and variety of waterways. Our bridge design recreational uses that accommodate all engineers have encountered multiple types of users and include ADA challenging scenarios and provided requirements. successful solutions to meet the needs of the client and achieve higher resiliency in Tetra Tech is a leading provider of floodways. specialized management consulting and technical services in three principal business areas: environmental services, infrastructure, and energy. Our clients include a diverse base of public and commercial-sector organizations located throughout the United States and internationally. Tetra Tech was founded in 1966 and since this time Tetra Tech has substantially increased the size and scope of its business. Today, Tetra Tech has annual revenues of nearly $3.5 billion and employs over 18,000 personnel in 365 offices worldwide. Our 85 engineers, scientist, outreach, and other technical professionals in our Chicago office, and additional engineers in our Madison and Milwaukee, Wisconsin offices provide Middleton with a consultant staff that possesses strong local and global experience. This combination of engineering, ecological restoration, storm water planning and design, and knowledge of the local community allows us to offer solutions that serve today’s needs and make it possible for residents to build community infrastructure that mitigates flood damage and develops the Pheasant Creek corridor to manage stormwater and provide an exciting nature programming opportunity for the community.
Tetra Tech understands that the Pheasant branch creek corridor and its surrounding area has recently been damaged by flooding that occurred in 2018. In a main goal of restoration and improvements, the city of Middleton requested proposals to develop a Master Plan.
Tetra Tech will provide the city of Middleton with a large range of expertise, strong understanding of the project constraints, and with an open mind and design flexibility as this project is will evolve with the participation and input of the multiple organizations involved. We
1 Pheasant Branch Creek Corridor City of Middleton have assembled a strong multidisciplinary team to provide technical expertise and guidance in this project. We understand the importance of listening to the stakeholders and considering their concerns and ideas within planning and design to maintain buy-in to the overall project. For the majority of our planning projects, it is imperative that we provide strong administration and coordination with stakeholders and the City of Middleton. In addition, we will continually evaluate the corridor to identify additional deficiencies and opportunities for enhancement. We understand that stakeholders also include the utility providers and infrastructure including development and future development along the corridor. This master plan will need to meet the current needs of the corridor stakeholders and be adaptable by future development.
We understand that the branch creek corridor is at the heart of Middleton’s resident recreational activities and offer them a great quality of life but is also important and beneficial for the city economics and commercial development. This highly coveted site is used by several types of users such as pedestrian, runners, bikers, dog walkers, bird watchers and student groups. We understand that the Master Plan not only requires specifics technical skills, but great outreach skills to the community as well, to listen, understand and incorporate the different needs of those users, the citizens of Middleton and of the surrounding properties owners. We also understand that the input of the city is essential and a follow up on the project as it progress will be important to the community.
The restoration and improvement measures will integrate best practices for stormwater retention and management, bank stabilization, flood damage control and fauna diversification, while protecting the existing infrastructures and prioritizing sustainable development. The City has indicated that fallen trees exacerbated the flood damage in August 18. As a result, it will be important to evaluate tree-less or reduced tree zones in the low-flow channel. With a strong design focused on native plants, this change in vegetative cover can be designed to be aesthetically pleasing to the community while providing an environment to limit flooding in the future. The key will be outreach that shows the benefits to all users and a design that develops over time into an environment that users will enjoy and benefit from.

2.0 PROJECT APPROACH
Tetra Tech is proposing a focused project team of highly trained and knowledgeable staff with extensive experience in surveying existing conditions, habitat rehabilitation, multi-use path and bridge design, and sustainable green infrastructure design to better manage stormwater and flooding.
Because many of our projects are funded with grant money, including from WDNR, the Tetra Tech team understands the critical schedule issues and grant requirements associated with the project and proposes a team combining experience and flexibility to ensure various stakeholder’s needs are met while maintain the highest quality products. All concept parameters identified by the City and those to be identified by Tetra Tech will be adhered to throughout the project and considered and addressed in each phase. Throughout the project, Tetra Tech will maintain regular communication to ensure the project goals and objectives are being met and all required input to the planning process is maintained. At a minimum, we will provide weekly progress updates to the City project manager in the form of an email.
The following is a summary of the project approach to be performed by the Tetra Tech team: 2.1 Phase A Understanding the environment and existing conditions is imperative to developing a master plan that can be implemented successfully. The project team will first conduct research to identify, review and analyze existing data regarding the project, such as topographic conditions and studies. We will also analyze other concurrent projects and evaluate their impact on the corridor in preparation of the preliminary plan. The team will understand, analyze and integrate recommendations from previous studies and reports as well as work closely with City staff to confirm known conditions and challenges.
To ensure that all issues of concern are addressed, our team will meet with the key members of the project from the City of Middleton. Our team will review the project constraints, developments, schedule and others request from the City and discuss ideas in preparation of the preliminary plan, including projects and studies identified in the RFP as well as others identified during this project such as future development plans. Tetra Tech will ensure that all planning is in line with City expectations and understanding of Corridor conditions. Tetra Tech assumes that a one-day site visit will be required to document existing conditions, especially after the rainy season experienced during Spring 2019.
Our stormwater engineers will use the GIS data, existing flood flow rates and other existing data available to model, analyze and propose a typical channel cross section for flood flow conveyance. The software used will be discussed and chosen according to the City preference as our team has experience with all commonly used hydraulic software. We will explore diverse innovative stormwater interventions that could be integrated to the project for flood and pollution management and control. We will provide flood damage scenarios for 50-, 100- and 500-years event as requested and will guide and support the city toward an optimal risk management solution for overflow situation and stormwater management.
Our ecologist expert will assess the existing fauna and will evaluate the repercussion of the propose master plan options. The team will propose a plan that will reduce the impacts on the
3 Pheasant Branch Creek Corridor City of Middleton existing fauna and will integrate the future diversified fauna that will be in place after the construction of the project.
Our bridge engineers will assess the existing bridges and evaluate the needs of restoration or replacement. In both cases, we will provide a conceptual design for all channel crossing with consideration of the City needs and preference. Our team has experience in similar projects as noted in their resumes, including in Wisconsin, and will adapt their expertise to this precise area, with important consideration of the flooding scenarios. The bridge engineers will work closely to chose crossing structures that are cost effective and provide the ability to withstand flood forces while being ADA compliant.
Our team, primarily our landscape architects, will prepare a preliminary master plan integrating the channel cross-sections, stormwater practices and the multi-use recreational path based on the City’s concept parameters, AASHTO standards and ADA standards for accessible design. We will also consider DOT standard and requirements as the path crosses under one main highway overpass. The preliminary plan will consider optimal routing for the path and provide alternates to minimize the use of channel crossings. The path will also be designed to allow vehicle access for maintenance to existing sewer and other existing infrastructures where needed by the City. The preliminary plan will provide solutions for the restoration or reconstruction of the existing damaged bridges, benches and other existing structures.
Our team, including our expert ecologist, will include up to three options for optimal vegetation to cover and stabilize the channel banks while providing resistance against flood damage. The vegetation proposed will prioritize incorporation of native plants and flood design, while reducing the number of trees in areas identified as flood hazards.
At this step, we will provide a preliminary cost estimate for probable construction costs for each alternate and for estimated maintenance needs costs after construction.
All the tasks described above will be presented in three clear alternatives that are presented individually and completely to fully evaluate them and compare to each other. Each alternative will contain the following but are not limited to:
• Typical channel cross section with identified structural resistance to flood damage and safe and stable conveyance. • Three crossing types and optimal channel crossing siting. • Routing that minimizes channel crossing for the multi-use recreational path. • Three options for vegetation to ensure safe and stable conveyance and provide structure support to the slope to minimize erosion and provide resistance to flood damage. The three vegetation options will be presented in the three alternate scenarios as no modification to the existing basal population; 50% reduction of the existing basal population; and 100% modification of the vegetative regime. • Three options for stabilizing the eroding sand bluffs to minimize sediment yield and incorporate vegetative cover. These options will include engineering techniques, bio- engineered techniques and a combination of the two to at appropriate locations along the creek. • Each project proposed in the preliminary plan will be identified along with a design and construction schedule and budgeting level cost estimate in each alternative. The schedule will incorporate a 2020 construction season for the projects.

The sequential experience of moving through the multi-use trail and pedestrian bridges will be carefully considered in design decisions. A set of tools or materials will be established, which could include a menu of contextually-fitting sustainable stormwater interventions, hardscape materials palette, planting selections, and signage. Planting choices will complement and enhance the riverbank habitat as well as provide stabilization for the shoreline through the use low-maintenance, diverse, native plantings that support healthy, safe, and beautiful spaces for users of the adjacent multi-use trail. The design process will consider:
• Community needs and desires as a top priority • Future surrounding development • Adjacent land use • Water quality • Green infrastructure to incorporate wildlife habitat • Existing infrastructure • Existing and proposed transportation, bicycle, and pedestrian networks • Visibility and safety • Physical access to the river • Opportunities for interpretation and wayfinding • Maintenance • Functionality
Our team will then prepare presentation materials to assist if required and attend up to three (3) meetings with the City, committees and public to review the projects and the alternatives developed during the preliminary plan phase.
2.2 Phase B After compiling all input from the stakeholders and the City, the City will select an alternative and accept the preliminary plan. Once the City reaches a final decision, we will prepare the final master plan/conceptual design, integrating all changes and modifications needed for the final concept. An electronic set and 10 hard copies of the Final Master Plan including supplemental information will be submitted to the City for staff review. Two copies will be full size prints and the remaining eight sets will be 11 X 17 prints.
Final Master Plan Outreach When the final master plan is completed and approved, our team will prepare the documents needed to present the project to different organizations while working with the city to ensure that presentation documents are accurate, understandable and engaging. Our team will prepare and present the final project and answer questions and follow up to the organizations at locations and meetings convenient to the groups including, the Conservancy Lands Committee, Water Resources Management Commission, and the Common Council. Our team will be prepared to answer questions and explain each project fully.
Recommendations for Follow-up Studies or Projects As we move deeper in the technical aspect of the project, we understand that new elements or opportunities may be identified that will require follow-up studies or future projects. With our large range of expertise, we will provide the city with follow-up studies recommendations and future projects report that may be necessary before the technical design and the construction of
5 Pheasant Branch Creek Corridor City of Middleton the project or in the future. For example, during evaluation of stormwater modeling and concept development, if needed for changing flooding scenarios, we will look at surrounding areas and make recommendation on add-on projects that could mitigate flooding in the future.
We will provide the City with the expertise and knowledge needed so that the design and construction phase go as planned and that construction costs are managed or reduced. Our team wants to guide the city toward the next step of this project with all the tools and knowledge needed to meet its goals.

The project descriptions provided below show our team’s full capacity to implement this project on schedule, on budget and ensuring high quality and compliant work while meeting all the requirements of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Coastal Zone (IDNR) grant.
Grand Calumet River Remediation and Flood Management Tetra Tech completed a remedial design and removal oversight of approximately 580,000 cubic yards (CY) of contaminated sediment along a 3.1-mile stretch of the West Branch and East Branch of the Grand Calumet River (WBGCR & EBGCR) in Hammond and East Chicago, Indiana, including remediation and wetland enhancement of the 40-acre Seidner Marsh and 20- acre Roxana Marsh. This GLLA project included Reaches 1 thru 5 of WBGCR and Reaches 4A and 4B of EBGCR. This project involved coordination with multiple federal, state, and local stakeholders within a tight schedule to complete the design; attain Section 401 and 404, NPDES, Construction-in-Floodway and all other required permits and access agreements; and complete construction.
Tetra Tech conducted topographic and bathymetric surveys, completed a debris survey, performed geotechnical and groundwater investigations, collected porewater and sediment samples for sediment chemistry and toxicity analysis, and prepared a wetland delineation and utility survey. An H&H watershed modeling study was conducted using HEC-RAS to ensure that the project would not raise water levels above the 100-year flood level, especially weirs designed to control water levels and allow dredging access. Initial design also evaluated the weirs to determine if they could be left in place permanently as Asian carp barriers. Design of the EBGCR also included sediment transport analysis and design of a sediment basin to trap upstream contaminated sediment. The remediation design included habitat evaluation and restoration for 91 acres of wetland habitat and preparation of native plant and seed lists, as well as bioengineered bank stabilization and site restoration. The design included the removal and control of invasive species in order to restore the wetland and shoreline habitat. Finally, the design included hydraulic dredging and mechanical excavation of contaminated sediment and provided an approach for placing 110,000 CY of an innovative engineered adsorptive layer covered by aggregate material within the river over remaining soft sediment. Hydraulically dredged contamintated sediment was treated onsite with an amendment to dewater the sediment before disposal. Plans and specifications were prepared using Microstation, and MCACES/ MII was used to prepare a construction cost estimate.

Wolf Lake Habitat and Ecological Rehabilitation For the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Chicago District, and its local sponsor, the City of Hammond, Indiana, Tetra Tech prepared the feasibility study or detailed project report (DPR), conducted the associated ecological analysis, and prepared the engineering design plans and specifications for the long-term ecological rehabilitation and restoration of Wolf Lake in Hammond, Indiana. Tetra Tech’s design included (1) restoring 25 acres of wetland habitat, including filtration wetlands to protect the restoration and improve water quality; (2) restoring 6,200 linear feet of shoreline to create habitat and reduce erosion; (3) aquatic and shoreline invasive weed control; (4) creating deep holes to diversify the lake bottom; and (5) and installing culverts or opening channels in dikes within the lake to improve hydrology. Sacrificial sand islands were incorporated into the design to protect restored shorelines. A large quantity (about 200,000 cubic yards) of sand was required to construct wetland islands, grade shorelines, and establish substrate for plantings; therefore, Tetra Tech proposed hydraulically dredging underlying sand within the lake to reduce costs, at the same time diversifying the lake bottom by creating deep holes.
The following activities were also conducted to evaluate the restoration plan alternatives and support the restoration design: 1) Topographic and hydrographic surveys; 2) Real estate mapping and analysis; 3) Hydrology and hydraulics (H&H) modeling and analysis, using models that included HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, HSPF, and MODFLOW; the results of the H&H established the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) of Wolf Lake and its vicinity, relieving hundreds of residents from flood insurance requirements; 4) Geotechnical sampling and analysis; 5) Hazardous toxic and radioactive waste (HTRW) investigation, including sediment sampling, and evaluation of ecotoxicological risks; 6) Evaluation of environmental benefits of restoration alternatives using habitat evaluation procedure (HEP)-like analysis; 7)Incremental cost analysis using IWR-PLAN.
Tetra Tech also prepared MS Project construction schedules and detailed MCACES cost estimates; developed plans and specifications for construction, including custom seed and planting lists specific to this site within the Calumet area; and supported the construction contractor source selection team. Tetra Tech provided support during construction by addressing technical assistance requests from the field, reviewing contractor submittals, and conducting site visits. Tetra Tech prepared a lessons learned report and an O&M Manual for the project.
In addition, Tetra Tech prepared design plans and construction cost estimates for a supplemental culvert removal and replacement project on Indian Creek downstream of Wolf Lake to further ensure the long-term success of the restoration.
12 Pheasant Branch Creek Corridor City of Middleton
Hegewisch Marsh Ecological Rehabilitation Design and Management Plan For the City of Chicago Department of Environment (DOE), Tetra Tech prepared a comprehensive site design and management plan for the ecological rehabilitation of Hegewisch Marsh, which is located in the Calumet area of Chicago. Hegewisch Marsh totals 130 acres and is the home of the future Ford Calumet Environmental Center, a hub for environmental education, stewardship, and ecological rehabilitation. Tetra Tech assessed the site goals, including (1) incorporating a world-class environmental center and exhibits, (2) protecting and enhancing the native flora and fauna in accordance with the Calumet Area Ecological Management Strategy, and (3) providing wetland mitigation and storm water management for other projects in the area. In addition to the site plan, Tetra Tech prepared design plans and specifications for rehabilitation of the site and performed owner’s representative support during construction activities. Restoration activities include trail establishment; debris removal; invasive herbaceous and woody species removal (herbiciding and controlled burning); tree removal to achieve appropriate canopy cover for savannah habitat; seeding and planting for forested wetland, wet savannah, wet prairie, and open marsh habitats. Tetra Tech also assisted in obtaining the necessary permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the rehabilitation of the site.
During the site planning process, stakeholders determined that a water level control system would be necessary to maintain marsh-like conditions necessary for marsh-dependent bird species, especially the state-listed, endangered yellow-headed blackbird. Tetra Tech prepared a feasibility study comparing three options for a water level control system (WLCS) for the marsh and prepared the design P&S for the selected option. Design analysis for the WLCS included developing a hydrologic model using WinTR20 to simulate surface water levels for different storm events. Tetra Tech’s WLCS design incorporated “green” design concepts such as a solar-powered pump system.
Throughout the site planning and preparation of the design plans and specifications, Tetra Tech coordinated meetings with the public and dozens of local government agency representatives and other stakeholders to develop the site plan and the design plans and specifications. Tetra Tech coordinated with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service concerning threatened and endangered species at the site. Of special concern is the consideration of any ecotoxicological issues and the protection and enhancement of the native flora and fauna, including state-endangered marsh bird species. Tetra Tech also conducted vegetation, and macroinvertebrate (including dragonflies and other Odonates) sampling activities to determine any ecotoxicological or attractive nuisance issues and associated recommended actions.

North Branch Industrial Corridor and Wild Mile Master Planning Tetra Tech was the prime contractor along with site design on a planning project in the North Branch Industrial Corridor for the City of Chicago Department of Planning and Development. The project focuses on developing a riverfront framework for planning in the corridor for the short and long-term with five primary development goals: recreation, transportation, economic viability, water quality and stormwater management improvements, and biodiversity. The Tetra Tech team, including site design work closely with the City and corridor stakeholders to develop a framework that incorporates sustainable open space approaches, a focus on the North Branch of the Chicago River for human interaction and improved habitat, and innovative urban design in existing and future buildings and streets. Tetra Tech serves as the overall project manager for the planning project. The Tetra Tech team supported and facilitated public meetings to obtain community feedback as well as build consensus for the area. The Tetra Tech team also developed comprehensive urban design, urban character, open space, river, stormwater and transportation guidelines for the framework that will guide development and planning in the corridor for the next 20 years.
Bubbly Creek Restoration
Bubbly Creek is a key component in the current transformation of Chicago’s historic Bridgeport neighborhood. The initial design effort focused on a framework plan for this storied one and one-quarter mile waterway to address long-term environmental issues within and along the channel. The Framework Plan’s main focus transforms Bubbly Creek into a highlighted feature amenity to the rapidly changing community. Edge condition studies develop the creek side as a recreational space in conjunction with the Army Corps feasibility studies. Site Design provided elements such as overlooks, boardwalk connections over wetland restoration, open park space, and pierscapes connect adjacent land use to the creek side.

Ping Tom Memorial Park
For Ping Tom Memorial Park, site design implemented design practices that are representative of Chinese culture. The context and supporting features of the park are decidedly Chicago, and strongly rooted in sustainable design, putting an emphasis on environmental awareness and support of local ecosystems while integrating cultural references. Ping Tom Memorial Park is a shining example of the transformation of vacant open space into a vibrant community amenity. Completed in more than 10 years and five phases, the expanded 19-acre public open space located in the City of Chicago’s bustling Chinatown neighborhood has become a cultural destination for the city. Featuring a traditional-inspired Chinese pavilion with gardens, a boathouse with accessible dock, a fieldhouse with ample recreation opportunities, a naturalized shoreline with boardwalk, multi-use pedestrian trails, and a variety of small and large community gathering spaces, this riverfront park continues to contribute to a healthy and active community.
Henry Palmisano Park
Henry Palmisano Park, located in the historic Bridgeport neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, is a 27-acre ecological gem built on a site rich with historic significance. The park is a rare amenity to this quiet community, with a history that includes serving as one of the city’s most important quarries, a forgotten dumping ground of construction waste, and finally being transformed into a 27-acre urban oasis that boasts high-quality native prairie and wetland re-creations embedded in a dense urban environment. Praised for its dynamic and poetic juxtaposition of the natural world and the industrial infrastructure that once defined Chicago, this much-loved park has set the bar for a new kind of urban park, one that can be made of mostly what it used to be, and embraces surreal natural beauty, diversity, and the celebration of a site’s unique past. One of the early project goals was to leave as small a footprint and contribute as few carbon emissions as possible through two primary means; by keeping all existing materials on site, and managing all rainfall through natural systems. Angular metal catwalks, recycled concrete steps, and zigzagging paths traverse the site, sharply contrasting the surrounding prairie grasses, and serving to celebrate the site’s industrial past.

Chicago River Design Guidelines
Site design created the Chicago River Design Guidelines with the Chicago Department of Planning and Development. The guidelines outline the expectations for development and restoration along the Chicago River and its branches. With appropriate development and design, the river corridor will provide recreational opportunities and manage stormwater to prevent urban flooding and minimize combined sewer overflows. The guidelines included multi-user pathway and trail design with opportunities for education and stewardship. The guidelines were developed through extensive community engagement with three themes emerging and implemented into the guidelines: (1) the river’s edge should have a natural aesthetic, (2) recreation and public access should be central to any design, and (3) designs should be creative and utilize consistent elements to unify and connect the river to the surrounding neighborhoods through access points and an engaging multi-user path.
Kinnickinnic River Ecosystem Restoration Project
Artist’s rendering of before (left) and after (right) section of the channel for the tentatively selected plan. Tetra Tech supported USACE-Detroit with a feasibility study to evaluate design alternatives for the restoration of the Kinnickinnic River in Milwaukee, WI. The objective of the project is to remove approximately 4,000 lineal feet of concrete lined channel along the Kinnickinnic River
16 Pheasant Branch Creek Corridor City of Middleton mainstem and replace it with natural rock material and pool/riffle features to improve the productivity of the aquatic ecosystem. The project is a Water Resources Development Action Section 206 project and the local sponsor is the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD). Tetra Tech performed site reconnaissance, geotechnical sampling, H&H modeling, habitat evaluations, and preliminary design services, and supported the Corps and MMSD in presenting the project to the general public. Tetra Tech performed detailed modeling of the Kinnickinnic River to assess the hydraulic conditions and channel capacity along the project reach, and to establish a baseline condition to assess the effects of the restoration alternatives. The hydraulic analysis was carried out using HEC-RAS Version 4.1.0. The baseline conditions model was executed over a range of discharges from base flows through the 100-year flood peak using flows developed from an HSPF hydrologic model of the watershed. The predicted water-surface profiles were then used to evaluate the channel capacity through the project reach for each of the project alternatives. The environmental benefits and annual average total costs of were quantified for each alternative and The Institute for Water Resources (IWR) Planning Suite software was used to assist in performing the cost effectiveness and incremental cost analyses. Environmental benefits were quantified using fish and benthic macroinvertebrate indices of biotic integrity, a physical habitat index, and select metrics from Habitat Suitability Indices (HSI). All analyses were documented in a Detailed Project Report and a separate Environmental Assessment that includes all NEPA-related findings. This alternative would include wetland and riparian vegetation (grasses, reeds, small brush, and light woody vegetation) in the floodplain, and would include moderately dense woody vegetation along the side slopes of the overall channel. Riffles and pools are incorporated into the low-flow channel geometry along with micro-habitat features such as in channel boulders, root wads, and spawning gravels. An important key element of this alternative is the variability in the channel bed material that will be incorporated with the habitat improvements. In general, the riffle zones will have larger (gravel sized) material, while the pools will have smaller (sand sized) material. With the completion of this project and the local projects on the Kinnickinnic River downstream of the study area, there will be no remaining segments of concrete lining between the Feasibility Study project reach and Lake Michigan. This increased connectivity of the Kinnickinnic River to Lake Michigan created by these projects will facilitate upstream passage of a variety of fish species to spawning and rearing habitat within the Federal project reach and will also increase overall habitat availability. Tetra Tech prepared cost estimates for each alternative using MCACES - 2nd Generation (MII). Construction quantities were developed using various sources, which include as-built drawings, ArcGIS, conceptual cross sections, and general assumptions. Tetra Tech conducted an ITR of each major deliverable and Dr. Checks was used to respond to all comments provided by the Corps. Tetra Tech also supported the Corps with communicating the findings of the study to concerned stakeholders by preparing posters for each alternative, developing a one-page fact sheet, and providing technical support at a public meeting.

Winter Lake Floodplain Restoration Tetra Tech completed a hydrologic, hydraulic and biologic evaluation on the historic floodplain of China Camp Creek near Coquille, Oregon. Historically, the China Camp Creek floodplain would flood annually and provide off channel refuge habitat for pre-smolt chinook and Coho salmon that were spawned in the upper reaches of the Coquille River. In the early 1900’s, China Camp Creek was straightened and placed in a canal along the property line between two adjoining landowners on the floodplain. Concurrent to the straightening of China Camp Creek, a dike was built along the edge of the Coquille River to minimize the volume of flood water spilling onto the floodplain. These activities were completed to convert an active floodplain into a summer pasture for cattle and a hay field for winter feed. One landowner in the China Camp Creek floodplain decided to restore his section of the floodplain into a more natural functioning floodplain that would benefit the salmon population in the Coquille River. A topographic survey of the property was completed and used by citizens, the landowner and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to develop alternatives to restore the natural functions of the floodplain. Tetra Tech initially evaluated the floodplain restoration alternatives and determine which one would create the best habitat conditions to hold the pre-smolts in the restored floodplain over the winter flood periods. The alternative created by ODFW basically recreated the natural China Camp Creek channel system historically present in floodplain, so this was the alternative chosen for preliminary design. Based on the topographic map of the site and the location of the historic channels, a primary drainage channel and secondary channels were identified to inundate the floodplain during high tides and drain the floodplain during low tides. Channel widths, depths and profiles were designed to create an inner connected system of channels that efficiently moved the tides in and out of the floodplain. Unsteady 1D modeling was used to evaluate velocities in the new channels to ensure the pre-smolt fish would not be washed out of the floodplain channels. To provide additional low velocity, off channel habitat, several off-channel ponds were constructed in the downstream section of the new floodplain channel. Major components of the design included the design of a new section of a main drainage ditch, the design to fill a section of an existing main canal, the design of the primary drainage canal, the design of secondary channels, the design of off-channel ponds and the design of a fill area that created terrace areas for upland vegetation. Project design drawings, construction specifications and an engineer’s construction cost estimate were completed in 2015. Project implementation is scheduled for 2019 depending of funding availability.

Mrs. Schuldt worked with the team to developed the HEC-RAS model which used bathymetric data, FEMA FIS data, and measured flow data to accurately model conditions in the waterbodies. Mrs. Schuldt also helped develop a sediment model which assessed current conditions and the impact of various sediment basins. Ms. Root conducted a technical reviews of the HEC-RAS models. For this project, Mrs. Schuldt will also assist in obtaining all necessary permits prior to site mobilization which include Construction in Floodway, Section 401, Section 404 Nationwide 27, IN NPDES Rule 5 general permit, IN NPDES authorization to discharge permit, and IN DOT right-of-way access permit.
Floodplain Analysis of Black River, Sheboygan County, WI, 2011 - 2014 - Mrs. Schuldt conducted a hydraulic and hydrology study using HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS for the Black River to better define the 100-year floodplain and determine the effects of proposed development by the client on the 100-year floodplain. Development plans that were simulated in the model include buildings, roadways, culverts, parking area, trails, and tent sites.
