Background

Corpus Christi has participated in

NFIP since 1973

Previous Effective FIRMo July 1985

o Protected area as Zone B

Background

FEMA started FIS update in 2007

FEMA requested certification from City

in March 2012o “Earthen levee on west side” (Salt Flats)

o “Small floodwall on northeast corner”

Draft FIRM in July 2012o Protected area as Zone AO w/ (Depth 3 FT) &

(Depth 2 FT)

o Bay Zone VE (EL 15)

o Surge = 8.4’

Background

FEMA’s Levee Analysis & Mapping Procedures (LAMP)o Proposed Approach in December 2011

o Final Approach in July 2013

FEMA Initiated Nueces County LAMP Pilot Studyo Initial Documentation

o Salt Flats Levee & Museum Floodwall

Local Levee Partner Team (LLPT) Meetingso On site and Monthly status calls

Submittals to FEMA

Review LAMP documents

Background

FEMA and City agreed to show protected

area as a “Seclusion Area”o Allows Preliminary Nueces County FIRMs to

become Effective

Once LAMP Pilot Study is complete,

FEMA will update the FIRM map

Purpose

Downtown Flood Protection Systemo Two Storm Water Pump Stations

o Complex storm drain network

o Variable tailwater

Solution = 1D/2D XP-SWMM Model

Better understanding of the current level of

protection.o Existing Levee and Flood Protection Wall Impacts

o Pump Station Effectiveness

Identify proposed improvements to the

Downtown areao Improvements to existing flood protection system

o New drainage infrastructure

Downtown Flood Protection System

Study Area

Two Major Watersheds of Inner Harbor Basino Salt Flats Watershed

• 2.5 sq mi

• 81% Urbanized

o Downtown Watershed

• 1.5 sq mi

• 84% Urbanized

13.9 miles of storm drain system

1.6 miles of open channel

Downtown area protected by 3.0 miles flood

protection wall

o Downtown Elevation: 2 to 7 feet

o Flood Protection Wall (top elevation): 12 to 14 feet

Project Approach

Update hydrology using latest available data

Include Seawall Overflow analysis for current future (50-year and 100-

year) sea level rise conditions

Develop existing conditions XPSWMM 2014.1 1D/2D model

Identify 20 structures within Seclusion Area for finished floor survey

Develop, model, and evaluate impacts of 4 concept level CIP projects

Scope of Work

Conform to City of Corpus Christi Drainage Design Manual and FEMA

Mapping Standards

Storm surge defined based on USACE sea level rise guidance

Model Design Criteria

Existing Conditions Analysis

o 9 Annual Chance Event (ACE) conditions

o 24-hour storm duration

Proposed Conditions Analysis

o 1% ACE under current sea level

o 4 concept level CIP projects

SWMP Inner Harbor Basin subdivided

into 136 subbasins

o Major SD > 30 inch

o Minor SD > 24 inch outfalls directly to

Corpus Christi Bay along Seawall

o Major SD Junctions

o Open channels throughout system

Delineated using 2011 1-ft LiDAR data

Hydraulic systems defined using City

network dataset, LiDAR, and as-builts

o Size, length, material

o Inverts, spill crests

Assumptions

o SD not inlet controlled

o Does not include entire SD network (manholes,

bends, and lateral systems)
