McGee Creek Pumping Station Sump, Pike County, Illinois. Hydraulic Model Investigation.
Abstract
The pumping station is part of a flood-control project that will provide protection to approximately 12,234 acres of predominantly agricultural lands in the McGee Creek Drainage and Levee District, which is located in Brown and Pike Counties, Illinois. The District includes the Illinois River bottomlands on the right band between river miles 67.2 and 75.1 above the mouth of the Illinois River, bounded on the north by Kamp Creek and on the south and west by McGee Creek. The proposed pumping station will be of the wet pit (sump) type employing three vertical propeller-type mixed or axial flow pumps operating with syphonic recovery. The design discharge for each pump at high operating heads is 107 cfs. The model study was conducted to evaluate the characteristics of inflow to the original sump and to develop modifications for improving the flow distribution to the pump intakes if needed.
