RE: Storm Water Drainage - Silver Creek and Nottingham
On June 11,2001, I met with Mr. Tom Morris and Mr. Ron Tracy to discuss a serious
flooding/drainage problem at our residence in Silver Creek. At the conclusion of this
meeting I was told by Mr. Morris that the problem would be corrected, but no corrective
action was ever taken. This prompted me to seek relief through the Owasso City Council
and Mr. Rodney Ray, City Manager. My appeal to the City Council on November 4,
2003, was answered with a report prepared by Janet Meshek ofMeshek & Associates,
Inc., and sent to Mr. Robert Carr on January 6, 2004. This report affirmed my contention
that there was indeed a serious problem with storm water drainage in the Silver Creek
addition, a problem created by flawed engineering and the failure to review design criteria.
After reviewing this report by Janet Meshek, a remedy was proposed on February 9,2004,
(please note the attached "Plan" prepared by the Owasso Public Works Department), and
the appropriate parties were notified, but to date there has not been an engineering plan
approved, or construction activity begun. Nearly nine months have passed and at this time
the project seems to be stalled due to reasons that I am unable to understand.
The high risk of property damage due to flooding of our home, as well as other property
in the Bradfords, the Willows, and the Village was affirmed in the attached report by Janet
Meshak. I believe that any property damages or structural problems that have occurred
or may occur due to this uncorrected problem with storm water must be accounted to
those parties who bear the responsibility for the problem and the solution. I still maintain
hope that the "system" will work, and corrective action will be taken. I am writing you to
demonstrate that due diligence and effort has been made on my part to effect a solution.

Re: Silver Creek Addition Stormwater Drainage and Detention Analysis
Dear Mr. Carr:
As per our discussions with you, Ms. Stagg and Mr. Cross, we have prepared this
analysis of the flooding problems within the Silver Creek Additions. We have used City
documents for sizes and elevations. We have adjusted the elevations in the Bradfords
plans upward by 1.2 feet to accommodate what appears to be a datum shift. At some
point however, the analysis should be revised using actual elevation data obtained from
field surveys and as-built plans.
Existing Conditions
Our preliminary investigation of the current conditions for the watershed draining the
Willows at Silver creek, the Bradfords at Silver creek and Nottingham Additions, as well
as the Village at Silver creek indicates that the 36-inch pipe draining Subareas 240 and
230 will almost carry a 2-year discharge before overtopping into the Village Addition and
detention pond. The Subareas are shown on the enclosed figure labeled "Silver Creek
HMS Data Schematic".
Subarea 240 drains to an existing pond with minimal storage. In our investigation, the
"weir" section was rated with existing storage to account for any possible routing effect.
The outflow from this pond was then routed through Subarea 230 and combined with the
runoff from that area. 1230 denotes the junction of all of the upstream area at the upper
end of the 36-inch pipe inlet on the east side ofthe Bradfords subdivision.
This pipe has a capacity of approximately 45-50 cfs before the water upstream will
ove110p into the Village subdivision and make its way over platted lots and between
future homes to that detention pond. An existing 2-year storm produces a peak flow rate
at J230 of 51 cis, and a 5-year storm produces a peak flow rate of 166 cfs with an
overflow peak of 125 cis. The diversion ofthe 5-year overflow to the Village produces an
overflow volume of 4.2 acre-feet, and eventually makes its way into the Village detention
pond. That pond has a total estimated volume of approximately 4.6 acre-feet.

Mr. F. Robert Carr, PE

Page 2
Our HMS model includes a diverted hydro graph (DIV 230) at the upper end of the 36-
inch pipe. The hydro graph for the Village only (620) is routed through the Village
detention pond. The diverted hydro graph from upstream bypasses the pond and flows
through the lots at the south end of the Village, because the pond has been filled by the
local drainage. The diverted 5-year hydro graph for flow rates larger than the capacity of
the 36-inch pipe contains 4.2 acre-feet of volume. Since the total pond volume is 4.6
acre-feet, any diverted water that makes its way into the pond will cause the 5-year storm
to overtop the Village detention pond. The overflow volume fi'om the 2-year storm is
only about 0.2 acre-feet, so the 2-year storm will probably be contained by the Village
pond, as long as it can enter it through the sump in front of the lots at the south end.
If there were no diversion of flow to the Village detention pond, it appears that the
Village detention pond would contain the 100-year storm from subareas 620,610 and 600
alone, with a little freeboard, but would overtop at the 500-year storm. From the
information gathered from the City files, it does not appear that any overflow from the
36-inch pipe (DIV230) was considered in the Village detention pond design.
The construction plans for the Bradfords pond list the 100-year flow rate at 42 cfs at the
fIrst upstream junction on the 36-inch pipe on the east side ofthe addition. The drainage
study for the Bradsfords pond shows a pre-project drainage area of 47 acres and a post-
project drainage area of acres, with IOO-year inflow rates of64 cfs and 187 cfs
respectively.
Our calculations show an existing 100-year flow rate of383 cfs at the upper end of the
36-inch pipe. The drainage area to this point is 78 acres, with a total drainage area to the
pond of acres. Our calculations show an existing 100-year inflow to the Bradfords
pond of 436 cfs. While our calculations may be somewhat higher because of some
developed discharge the area, the flow rates and drainage
areas shown on the Bradfords plans and in the report used for design, appear to be in
error.
Storm of October 9, 2003
With current conditions, the 36-inch pipe on the
east side of the Bradfords will barely handle a
I-year storm. During the October 9, 2003 storm,
the water plant for the City of Owasso received
3.48 inches of rainfall, falling within 6-hours
according to City staff. This is approximately a
5-year storm. The Village pond received some
of the overflow from the upper end of the 36-
inch pipe and filled to more than capacity
according to the picture shown above, with the remainder bypassing the pond. The
picture shows the east side of the Village pond facing north. The pond is overflowing to
the undeveloped commercial property on the east side.

The picture to the right is taken of the double 6x4
RCB under 86th St. North during that same storm.
We computed a 5-year peak flow of 130 cfs at the
roadway from the Village pond and the
uncontrolled flows. We have assumed that the
pond was constructed as shown on the plans but
with the outlet blocked. This was the condition
during this storm. The discharge from subarea 620
filled the pond and the overflow from the upper
end of the 36-inch pipe mostly bypassed the pond.
The total flow to the double 6x4 RCB of 130 cfs would require a headwater depth of2.5
feet. The depth shown in the picture appears to be slightly deeper than that, implying that
more water may have bypassed the pond. There may have been other debris blockage
affecting the water surface elevations, also.
Bradfords Pond
The Bradfords pond is undersized because an error was apparently made in the
measurement of the overall drainage area. Additionally, the method used to size the pond
does not meet current City of Owasso drainage criteria. Our calculation ofthe effect of a
5-year storm on this pond shows an inflow of227 cfs and an outflow of 57 cfs, with a
peak elevation of 637.5, approximately 1.7 feet below the overflow elevation. This
appears to be consistent with the observations made during the October 9th storm. Our
calculations show that a lO-year storm would fill the pond to within 0.5 feet of the top. A
25-year storm or larger would overtop the dam.
As a minimum, a spillway should be constructed on the pond, with the overflow directed
to the upstream end of the drainage structure under 86th St. North. The outflow during the
100-year storm with the current dam is 312 cfs. Of that flow, 75 cfs would be forced
through the 36-inch pipe, and 236 cfs would overtop the dam. The spillway would need
to accommodate that flow rate at an elevation of639.2. The current 4 x 3 RCB will pass
approximately 100 to 120 cfs, depending on available head. This structure should be
increased to a triple 4 x 3 RCB. The outflow rates and spillway elevation should be
adjusted as required to minimize outflow without causing a backwater-flooding problem
from the pond. Additionally, the downstream impacts need to be investigated.
The Village pond is too small to accommodate additional stormwater runoff. Even if it is
enlarged, the amount of storage required to reduce the 100-year flow rate upstream from
the 36-inch-pipe to 53 cfs is approximately 22.5 AF, compared to the 4.6 AF available in
the current pond. A storm sewer or ditch system capable of discharging approximately
355 cfs would have to be installed to convey the water to the enlarged Village pond from
the current overflow location.
nequirements for Flooding Caused by the Inadequate Bradfords Ea~t Storm Sewer
fhe only feasible solution to solving or at least mitigating the current flooding problem is
to construct a new pond upstream from the 36-inch pipe on the east side of the Bradfords.

Mr. F. Robert Carr, PE

Page 4
The pond should contain enough storage to reduce the outflow to the capacity of the 36-
inch as designed. We have computed approximate pond volumes that would be required
for the various design storms, with the 100-year level of protection being the goal.
Additionally we have increased the volumes to deal with future upstream development. If
less than the 100-year frequency is chosen for the design storm, any rainfall event greater
than that will still divert flow south into the Village. This will decrease that pond's ability
to deal with storms of that magnitude and larger. Flooding between houses constructed on
the westerly lots will continue to occur because of the ina4equacy ofthe 36-inch pipe.
The following table lists the design storms and the volume required to release
approximately 50 cfs during the 100-year storm with the upstream area fully developed.
Design Storm Required Volume
(Year) (Acre-Feet)
1 4.3
2 4.8
5 9.5
10 12.9
25 16.4
50 19.6
100 22.5
500 31.6
WillowslBradfords Storm Sewer Analysis
We also investigated the hydraulic grades along the storm sewer systems in the Bradfords
and the Willows. The system along 141 st E. Ave. will not cany a I-year storm. The 1-
year hydraulic grade line slope in the section from the Willows to the junction box just
upstream from the pond is 1.37%, compared to a pipe slope of 0.34%. The segment of
pipe from the Willows to the next junction box downstream will overflow at the street
during the one-year storm.
The inadequacy of the downstream storm sewer system means that for a I-year storm the
hydraulic grade will always be at approximately the lowest inlet elevation along the
roadway where water can escape. The ongoing drainage problem at the inlet located on
Lot 2, Block 3 of the Willows is due to the fact that the inlet is in a sump. The elevation
that water would have to reach before relieving itself downstream is approximately 645
to 645.5. The top of the inlet is at elevation 644.25. This inlet will backup to more than a
foot deep above the top of the inlet during a storm smaller than a I-year storm, because
the downstream storm sewer capacity is so limited.
If the hydraulic grade at the inlet in Lot 2, Block 3 could be lowered to no higher than the
inlet elevation, a one-year storm can be contained within the westerly storm sewer system
within the Willows. ,\

Divert all of the Willows East
Similar to the discussion above, all of the Willows storm sewer system would be diverted
to the new pond. The pond upstream from the 36-inch pipe east of the Bradfords would
have to be bigger. However, this would make the storm sewer system along 141 st E. Ave.
adequate for the 100-year storm. The Willows westerly system would be adequate for a
I-year storm and the easterly system would be adequate for a 5-year storm.
This would make the downstream Bradfords pond adequate up to the 100-year storm with
no increase in structure size at 86th St. North.
The following table lists the design storms and the volume required to release 50 cfs with
the upstream area fully developed and the Willows completely diverted into the new
pond.

Recommendations Summary
Inadequate 36-inch Storm Sewer on the East Side of the Bradfords
The undersized 36-inch pipe on the east side of the Bradfords will continue to cause
flooding of the lots along Block 2 of the Village, as well as Lots 11-15 of Block 1. The
water that collected in the sump in front of these lots during the October 9th storm could
not get into the storm sewer system and flowed over some of those lots onto the
commercial property to the south. Ifhouses are constructed on those lots without the
recommended upstream detention pond construction, they will be subject to flooding on a
continual basis.
,\
As a minimum, a pond should be constructed upstream from this pipe to eliminate the
overflow into the Village. Construction of houses on those lots should be postponed until
the overflow situation is remedied.

Stonn Sewer System within the Willows/Bradfords Additions
We feel that without some improvement to the storm sewer system in the Bradfords and
the Willows, the potential for structural flooding ofthe residence on Lot 33, Block 1A is
very high. If a house is constructed on Lot 34, Block lA, it will also be in danger of
structural flooding, or as a minimum, will make the situation worse. As a minimum, the
10-year parallel storm sewer from the inlet on Lot 2 Block 3 to the Bradfords pond
should be constructed. The system upstream fi-om that could then be improved to a 10-
year system, should flooding at street sumps for larger storms become a problem in the
future.
The Bradfords Pond
As stated earlier, a spillway should be constructed on the pond, with the overflow
directed to the drainage structure tmder 86th St. North to carry the excess flow for storms
larger than the 10-year. This newly-constructed 4 x 3 RCB structure at 86th St. North
should be increased to a triple 4 x 3 RCB.
Please let us know if you have any comments or questions.

Subject: Silver Creek Drainage Modifications
Summary of Meeting Notes
Dear Mr. Tracy:
The purpose of this letter is to formally request a proposal from your firm to remedy the
stonnwater drainage deficiencies in the Silver Creek area as we discussed with you at a meeting
on February 16,2004. Recent rain events observed by Public Works staff have revealed that the
stonn sewer system is not functioning as designed. Details of the deficiencies are identified in a
letter dated January 6,2004 from Janet Meshek, a copy of which has been provided to you. As
we have discussed, the task of correcting the errors and omissions appears to require the
cooperation of a number of parties at this time.
Mr. Carr and I first discussed the existing drainage deficiencies with you at a meeting on January
27,2004. Then, J.B. Alexander, you, and I further discussed alternatives for correcting drainage
deficiencies at a meeting on February 16, 2004. As we discussed, the two primary objectives for
drainage modifications are as follows:
1. Stonnwater overflow must be eliminated at the inlet to an existing 36-inch pipe along the
west boundary of the Village at Silver Creek.
~2. Modifications are required to reduce the risk of flood hazards associated with the
~ Willows stormwater drainage system.
The following requirements were presented to you for determining a feasible solution:
@ A topographic survey of the area north of the Village at Silver Creek is required for proper
design and review of drainage modifications.
@ The survey must include inlet elevations and flow lines for the storm drainage system
upstream of the junction connecting the Willows and Bradfords systems.
@ A pond must be designed directly north of the open 36-inch pipe to keep the 100-year
peak outflow rate at or below 50 cfs.
Mr. Ron Tracy
February 19t 2004
Page20f2
GD The outlet structure of the proposed pond must not surcharge the 36-inch pipet which was
not designed to operate under pressure.
@I All of the flow from the Willows storm drainage system must be diverted to the proposed
pond, which must have a maximum water surface elevation below all Willows inlets.
@ A permanent emergency overflow channel must be designed for the proposed pond to
accommodate discharge in excess of 50 cfs in the event of blockage at the outlet.
In addition to the requirements listed above, the following criteria will be used in the review of
proposed drainage modifications:
@ NRCS (formerly SCS) methods are preferred for hydrologic modeling.
@ Plan and profile sheets are required for all storm drainage modifications.
@ Hydraulic grade lines must be included on all storm pipe profiles.
@ Design of detention facilities must include stage, area, and discharge calculations.
@ Existing utilities must be identified along with any proposed relocations.
Please respond in writing if you would like to contest this summary of our meeting or propose
additional alternatives. Feel free to contact this office at 272-4959 if you have any questions.

Subject: The Village at Silver Creek
February 9, 2004 Meeting
Dear Mr. Kimball:
Thank you for visiting the City of Owasso Public Works Department to discuss options for addressing
drainage issues in the Silver Creek area. The purpose of this letter is to summarize the discussion,
conclusions, and decisions made to achieve an effective solution for both public and private interests.
Please contact our office to indicate your concurrence or to express your concerns with the following
summary of the meeting.
The meeting was held at 3:30 p.m. on Monday, February 9, 2004 in the Public Works Conference Room.
The city staff members in attendance were Robert Carr, J.B. Alexander, Chris Cross, and Eric Wiles.
You and Tony Stevens represented the Village at Silver Creek. Mr. Carr started the meeting with an
overview of the existing drainage conditions and flood hazards identified in a detailed report prepared b
Janet Meshek of Meshek and Associates. The underlying theme of the meeting was, "How can we work
together to solve the existing drainage problems?"
The existing conditions and alternatives were discussed as follows:
@ The 36-inch pipe that collects runoff from the undeveloped area north of the Village is
capable of carrying 40 to 50 cfs, which corresponds to slightly less than a 2-year event.
@! Any stormwater runoff in excess of the 36-inch pipe capacity flows overland across the
westerly lots of the Village and into the detention pond at the southern end of the Village.
@! A 5-year storm currently produces a peak flow rate of 166 cfs at the'inlet to the 36-inch pipe
with an overflow peak of 125 cfs, which generates an overflow volume approximately equal
to the existing volume of the Village detention pond and overtops the east embankment.
@! If there was no overflow from the 36-inch pipe to the Village detention pond, it appears that
the pond would contain the 100-year storm from the residential area ofthe Village.
@! Pictures of the October 9,2003 runoff event validate the findings of the Meshek report.
@! Errors were made in the measurement of the drainage area that contributes runoff to the 36-
inch pipe, which discharges into the detention pond in the Bradfords of Silver Creek.
@! The Brndfords Pond would not contain the 100-year runoff volume even if the 36-inch pipe
did not contribute flow to the pond.
@! An option exists for constructing a pipe parallel to the existing 36-inch pipe along the west
boundary of the Village.

following conclusions were reached after a discussion of the existing conditions:_
1. A number of parties, including the City, appear to have made errors. _
2. The preservation of marketable private property is of utmost concern.
Corrective action is required before the spring storm season.
4. A stormwater detention facility is needed directly north of the 36-inch pipe inlet.
S. Excavation is necessary to construct the Village pond as planned.
6. Additional storage capacity is required in excess of the design volume for the Village pond to
accommodate runoff from the commercial lot and any area contributing runoff in excess of
the existing Village residential development.
7. Options should be evaluated for modifYing the outlet structure of the Village Pond.
8. All of the flow from the Willows should be diverted to the new pond (see No.4).
The following decisions were made as part of an agreement to proceed with corrective measures:
A. The City will pay for construction of temporary detention directly north of the 36-inch pipe.
B. The Developer will have corrective measures designed for review by Public Works.
C. The Developer will grant an easement for the construction of the temporary detention.
D. The Developer will take action to get the Village pond constructed as designed.
