The Problem
Large portion of prime property within regulatory floodplain and deemed non-recoverable due to proximity of Lake Lewisville emergency spillway. Also, the internal tributaries had been determined to be jurisdictional waters of the U.S. making the water quality issues paramount for this project.
The Solution
Obtained field data early in project and developed HEC2 and HECRAS models of subject streams. Determined that virtually the entire 30 acres could be reclaimed with minor filling. Developed construction plans that avoided filling any jurisdictional waters other than two street crossings.
