Every paid attendee will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win a $100 gift card, $50 gift card or $25 gift card. Speaker: Zach Snyder, PE, Q3 Consulting Mr. Snyder specializes in advanced hydraulic modeling and design of complex urban drainage systems. His experience includes several stormwater master plans utilizing both 1D and 2D techniques, drainage studies for focused areas of high flood hazard, and design of flood control measures such as storm drain, infiltration and detention basins, bank stabilization, and levees. Synopsis: The City of Grand Terrance is located in San Bernardino County and resides between two mountain ridges: Blue Mountain to the east and La Loma Hills to the west. Most of the City is located along the slopes of the foothills, resulting in highly urbanized areas with steep topographic relief. Drainage from the upstream hillsides are conveyed through the downstream urban areas via street flow. Grand Terrace currently uses surface (street) conveyance as the main form of flood control for a majority of the City limits. This network of street flows have created a problem with delineating watershed boundaries and results in potentially dangerous “hazard” (flow velocity x depth) condition. Q3 Consulting used XPSTORM (1d/2d) to evaluate the flood risks and “hazard” potential of this hillside community. The 1d/2d models utilize a combination of unit hydrograph and rain-on-grid input hydrology. Proposed storm drain improvements were identified based on acceptable flow depths as well as the “hazard” potential. The presentation will look at the issues and hurdles encountered in modeling steep urban watersheds using 1d/2d linked models, as well as the methods and assumptions used to derive potential solutions. The results of this analysis revealed the benefits of using a more advanced model to evaluate the City’s flood and “hazard” risks. Addressing the potential “hazard” resulted in the addition of storm drain improvements beyond just servicing the flooded areas.
