Special Flood Hazard Evaluation Report, Chagrin River and Aurora Branch, Village of Bentleyville, Cuyahoga County, Ohio
Abstract
This report documents the results of an investigation to determine the potential flood Situation along the Chagrin River and Aurora Branch within the Village of Bentleyville, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The study reach includes the Chagrin River from the northern corporate boundary, upstream, to the eastern corporate boundary. The Aurora Branch was studied from its confluence with the Chagrin River to the southern corporate boundary. Consideration of a rock ledge located approximately 960 feet downstream of the confluence of the Chagrin River with the Aurora Branch in this study produced significant increases in flood elevations for the Chagrin River. In addition, the current study modeled the Aurora Branch for its entire length within the Village of Bentleyville therefore producing more accurate results. Findings from this study may warrant reexamining the adjoining upstream study area because flood elevations between the two studies are not in concurrence.
