Flood Mitigation
• What is Flood Mitigation? Sustained action to
reduce or eliminate long term risk to people and property from flood hazards
• Structural Flood Mitigation Alternatives include: Upsizing culverts
Acquisition/demolition of repetitively flooded structures
Flood storage detention
Structural elevation

Proposed Condition Level of Service Goals
• All water crossings to be mitigated to atleast meet LOS requirements based on Mahoning County Regulation.
• One driveway is a an entrance to a Old Age Home and classifies as a “Critical Facility”
• Higher level of protection planned for the Critical Facility
• Under Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management, Federal agencies funding and/or permitting critical facilities are required to avoid the 0.2% (500-year) floodplain or protect the facilities to the 0.2% chance flood level.

Modeling LIDs in HEC-RAS
• Pressurized Pipe Flow can be modeled in HEC-RAS
• Steady and Un-Steady Flow
• Diversion pipe can be modeled by using cross-sections to model the bottom and LID to model top of the pipe
• Steady Flow uses standard energy equation and Un-Steady uses Priessman Slot Theory and Water Hammer Equations.

Alternatives Pros & Cons
Alternative Description Advantages Disadvantages
Hydraulic Alternative 1A Replacement of undersized
culverts and extension of
Western Reserve Road
Culvert
• Mitigates Flooding
• No major diversion or
detention
• Will require the
extension of the
Western Reserve
Culvert and
earthwork to cover
the new structure
Hydraulic Alternative 1B Replacement of undersized
culverts and removal of the
Private Drive downstream of
Western Reserve Road
• Mitigates Flooding
• Provides property owner
access from Western
Reserve Road
• Prevents frequent
overtopping of private
bridge
• Restricts access
between property
owners.

Alternatives Pros & Cons
Alternative Description Advantages Disadvantages
Hydraulic Alternative 2B Replacement of undersized
culverts and diversion from
Sharott Road to the east side
of Hitchcock Road
• Only requires upsizing of
two culverts
• Does not solve the flooding
at the Private Drive
culvert
• Will require the
installation of the new 48”
diversion storm sewer
Hydraulic Alternative 3 Replacement of undersized
culverts and construction of a
detention basin upstream of
the Shepherd of the Valley
culvert
• Reduces peak discharges
downstream of the basin
• Not enough detention, still
requires upgrades
• Significant Environmental
Permitting
