Flood Control, State Road and Ebner Coulees, La Crosse, Wisconsin, General Design Memorandum. Phase I. Plan Formulation and Hydrology and Draft Environmental Impact Statement.

Abstract

This report and EIS reevaluate and update studies contained in a survey report, dated 3 November 1967, and a draft phase I general design memorandum (GDM) dated November 1976. For State Road Coulee recommended channel modifications include rectangular and trapezoidal concrete, channels from Hagen Road bridge to just downstream of the Burlington Northern railroad bridge, and a concrete and riprap channel with outlet control between the railroad bridge and the Mississippi River marsh area. For Ebner Coulee, the best plan would consist of concrete channel modifications and underground concrete pipe diversion of flows northward to Miller Coulee and then to the La Crosse River. However, the second plan is no longer economically feasible and only the first is recommended for construction.
