Evaluation of Proposed Cross-Sections<br />

The cross-sections <strong>for</strong> the proposed rock dams were received from JFNew and were incorporated into the<br />

model with the following top elevations. See Figure 5 <strong>for</strong> a map of the cross-section locations in<br />

<strong>Highland</strong> <strong>Park</strong>.<br />

Rock <strong>Dam</strong> 1 (Cross-section 6) = 573.6 ft<br />

Rock <strong>Dam</strong> 2 (Cross-section 7) = 573.1 ft<br />

Rock <strong>Dam</strong> 3 (Cross-section 8) = 572.6 ft<br />

The elevation of the thalweg <strong>for</strong> the existing dam is 574.1 ft with each successive rock dam being another<br />

6 inches lower than the previous. Each rock dam would be constructed with a v-shaped low flow channel<br />

which has a thalweg 0.75 feet below the top of the rock dam.<br />

Figure 6, Figure 7, and Figure 8 show the cross-section of each proposed rock dam including low flow<br />

channels. The low flow (30 cfs) water surface elevation is also shown based on model results.<br />
