Big Creek Flood Control Project, Cleveland, Ohio. Phase II. General Design Memorandum. Appendix B. Alternative Studies.
Abstract
The purpose of these alternative studies is to determine the least-cost and overall optimal development concept of the principal features of the Big Creek Flood Control Project. The basic concept of the flood control project has been established and is presented in the Phase 1 General design memorandum (GDM) dated August 1977. The selected flood control plan presented in the phase 1 GDM has been approved by both the North Central Division (NCD) and the Office of the Chief of Engineers (OCE). These alternative studies will include a study of the alignments and grades of the floodway channel, modified channel, diversion channel, and the relocated Baltimore and Ohio Railroad mainline and spurline. These alternative studies will also include a study of individual features of the project. Generally, for individual features, these studies will be limited to type of construction materials used and/or combination thereof to arrive at the most economical means of construction. The geometry of certain features will be studied to determine if there is a more economical design. (Author)
