Yauger Park Drainage Basin Modeling
Location: Olympia, WA
Category: Watershed Calibration
Client: City of Olympia
Project Description
The City of Olympia contracted with Clear Creek Solutions to provide hydrologic and hydraulic modeling services to develop solutions to reduce flooding in the Yauger Park drainage system caused by large events like the December 2007 flood. WWHM-SWMM was used to model the complex hydrologic and hydraulic interactions.
Because the Yauger Park facility is a large regional facility back to back events impact the hydrology and because the outfall is a flat pipe system hydraulics are critical. The only way to truely model the system is to use both HSPF (WWHM) and SWMM. In this way it was possible to model the continous impacts to the facility and the outfall.
Clear Creek Solutions ran future conditions scenarios in an effort to find the most efficient way to reduce the flooding in the intersection of Cooper Pt. Rd. and Black Lake Blvd. This project is still ongoing.
