1.1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The first edition of the Sedimentation Manual (1993) has been reformatted to
be consistent with the 2006 Hydrology Manual. The methods from the
Sedimentation Manual have not changed. This second edition of the
Sedimentation Manual contains updated references to the 2006 Hydrology
Manual and does not share appendices.
Public Works distributed copies of the first edition of the 1993 Sedimentation
Manual and Appendix to members of the Land Development Advisory
Committee (LDAC) for their review. The members who responded indicated
that they had no comments on the Sedimentation Manual. This second
edition reformats the manual and updates references to the 2006 Hydrology
Manual.
Fire greatly increases the amount of runoff and erosion from a mountain
watershed. A recently denuded watershed will produce greater than normal
sediment volumes due to higher runoff caused by a lack of vegetation and
lowered infiltration rates. The inclusion of sediment in runoff results in a
greater total discharge. This is referred to as bulking. Figure 1.3.2 shows a
burned watershed below San Dimas Dam after the 2002 fires.
Figure 1.3.2

San Dimas Dam
After 2002 Fires
Flood flows from a denuded watershed can transport large quantities and
sizes of sediment. Sediment production from a major storm has amounted to
as much as 120,000 cubic yards per square mile of watershed. Boulders up
to eight feet across have been deposited in valley areas a considerable
distance from their source. Sediment discharge from a major storm can be
equal to the actual storm runoff, that is, runoff bulked 100 percent.

Public Works’ Policy on Levels of
Flood Protection
The following facilities and structures must be designed for the Capital Flood.
The Capital Flood is the burned and bulked (where applicable) runoff from a
50-year frequency design storm falling on a saturated watershed. For fire
factors see Chapter 6 of the 2006 Hydrology Manual. Section 3.4 of this
Manual contains information on flow bulking.
Natural Watercourses
The Capital Flood level of protection applies to all facilities, including open
channels, closed conduits, bridges, and dams and debris basins, that are
constructed to transport or intercept sediment laden floodwaters from natural
watercourses. Dams that are under the State of California (D.S.O.D.)
jurisdiction must also meet the Probable Maximum Flood criteria found in
Section 4.4 and Section 5.5 of the 2006 Hydrology Manual.
Figure 2.1.1
San Gabriel River
Below Morris Dam
The Capital Flood level of protection applies to all retention basins and
detention basins designed to intercept sediment-laden floodwaters.
Sediment retention basins must be designed to handle the design sediment
volume. Refer to Chapter 3 for information on sediment production and
delivery and to Chapter 4 for details on sediment control facilities.
Culverts
The Capital Flood level of protection applies to all culverts that pass
sediment-laden flood waters under public roads.
For any facility, apply the Capital Flood to all undeveloped tributary areas
that are likely to produce sediment, whether or not the areas are likely to
burn.
The Santa Clara River Basin is the second largest of the eight moderately
developed drainage basins in Southern California and a major source of
sediment for the beaches along the coast. In addition, the groundwater
basins that underlie the Santa Clara River are an important source of water
for the valley. It is important that the groundwater basins continue to be
recharged by streambed percolation.
1) The design of flood protection facilities for the Santa Clara River shall be
based on the following:
a) Public Works Capital Flood flow rates (50-year rainfall Q, burned
and bulked only).
b) Soft bottom waterways with levees.
c) Protective levees and additional facilities such as drop structures or
stabilizers as required, shall be designed using the Public Works
criteria.
2) The design of flood protection facilities for major tributaries of the Santa
Clara River that have been mapped by the Public Works as floodways
(see Figures 2.2.1 and 2.2.2) or have a burned and bulked flow rate1 of
2,000 cfs or greater as determined by Public Works’ Capital Flood
hydrology shall be based on items b) and c) above.
3) The design of flood protection facilities for tributary streams to the Santa
Clara River that have existing flood control improvements shall be
compatible with these existing facilities. See Table 2.2.1.
Figure 2.2.3 shows debris caught on a railroad bridge in the South Fork
tributary of the Santa Clara River, which is a result of bulked flows.

Sediment Production and Delivery
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Los Angeles Basin, Santa Clara River Basin, and Antelope Valley are divided
into zones that yield similar volumes of sediment under similar conditions.
These Debris1 Potential Area (DPA) zone delineations are found in Appendix A.
Figure 3.1.1
Glencoe Canyon, Glendora
Chapter 3 - Sediment Production and Delivery 14
A rate of 120,000 cubic yards / square mile / storm has been established as the
design debris event for a one square-mile drainage area in DPA 1 zone. This
rate is used as a design value for debris basins in areas of high relief and
granitic formations characterizing the San Gabriel Mountains and Verdugo Hills.
Other mountain areas in the County have been assigned relatively lower
sediment potentials based on historical data and differences in topography,
geology, and rainfall. Studies of sediment flow records indicate that areas less
than one square-mile are expected to produce a higher rate of sediment
production and areas greater than one square mile a lower rate.
The Los Angeles Basin has five sediment production curves, the Santa Clara
River Basin has four curves, and the Antelope Valley has eight. See the debris
production curves in Appendix B.
The use of DPA 7 in the Los Angeles Basin is limited to undeveloped areas with
slopes less than 20%.
Undeveloped Watershed
3) Determine the Debris Production Rate (DPR) from curves in Appendix B-1,
2, or 3, corresponding to the DPA zone and the drainage area found in
steps 1 and 2 above. For areas smaller than 0.1 square mile, use the
same DPR for 0.1 square mile.

Bulking
Bulking is the increase in flow rate due to inclusion of sediment in the flow.
This condition applies primarily to mountain areas subject to wildfires that
destroy the vegetative cover protecting the soil. It also applies to watersheds
in mountain areas with loose surface material that is likely to produce
sediment. Figure 3.4.1 is an example of a burned watershed near Placerita
Canyon Road. This watershed will potentially produce a bulked flow rate
during a storm.
Figure 3.4.1
Placerita Canyon Road

October 10, 2004
The peak bulking factor curves in Appendix B show the proportion of the
bulked flow rate to burned flow rate during the peak of the flood hydrograph
or to the clear flow rate if the watershed has no potential to burn. These
curves are used to design channels in a sediment producing area where a
debris basin does not exist. Example 1 in Appendix D illustrates use of these
curves.
The procedures for determining bulking factors for watersheds with different
characteristics are similar to the procedures for determining sediment
production explained in Section 3.3. To determine bulked flow rates, QB, use
the equation listed below for the appropriate case.

Appendix B has the bulking factor curves for the Los Angeles Basin, the Santa
Clara River Basin, and the Antelope Valley area.
The bulked flow hydrograph is used for fluvial analysis and flood regulation
studies. The bulked flow discharge can be obtained from the following
equation:
Qb = Q s + Q w Equation 3.4.8
This equation assumes that the peak of the sediment hydrograph coincides with
the peak of the clear or burned water hydrograph.
To distribute the total design sediment volume (as described in Section 3.3)
throughout a hydrograph, Public Works uses the following equation:
n
Qs = a x ( Q w ) Equation 3.4.9
Consult with Public Works for additional guidelines if analysis of this type is
needed.
These equations are the general form of the equations in Sections 3.3 and 3.4
and can be used for multiple DPA zones. The number to the right of each
equation corresponds to the number of the equation in Section 3.3 or 3.4. The
postscript “g” shows that this is the general form of the equation.

Sediment Control
4.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter discusses the type of structure acceptable to Public Works for
sediment control, which depends on the volume of sediment to be delivered
to the site. This, in turn, depends on the Debris Potential Area (DPA) zone
for the particular watershed. Table 4.1.1 is used to determine the type of
structure. See Chapter 3 for methods of computing the sediment production
volume. Where sediment production is less than 250 cubic yards, sediment
control is generally not needed. Design the conveying storm drain following
the closed conduit bulked flow design criteria listed in Section 5.5. As stated
in the State Water Code, Division 3, Section 6000-6452, certain dams are
under State jurisdiction. The State may have additional requirements for the
design of the facility. Figure 4.1.1 shows Englewild Debris Basin during
cleanout.

The use of elevated or desilting inlets and bulked flow drains in DPA zones 1
through 4 will only be approved by Public Works in special circumstances.
The steepness of the watershed, presence of boulders, and higher sediment
and mudflow potential in these DPA zones results in a greater risk of plugging
the storm drain and damaging the desilting wall.
Figure 4.1.2 shows the Upper Shields Debris Basin used for sediment control.
Figure 4.1.2
Upper Shields Debris Basin

Cone Slope
In cases where the stream branches as it moves upstream from the debris
dam, cone calculations are to be made along the individual profile lines of
each branch. Depending upon the stream configuration, the profiles may
branch from either the spillway crest or perhaps upstream of the crest.
Hence, it is possible to have two different cone slopes. In these cases, the
cone lines drawn perpendicular to the profile lines will intersect showing the
configuration of the final cone surface as shown in Figure 4.2.2.
Level Capacity
The basin capacity up to the spillway elevation is called the "Level Capacity."
Level capacity shall be at least one-half the capacity of the basin. Figure 4.2.1
shows the level capacity and cone capacity.

Debris Slope Calculation
Momentum Overflow
In the 1969 and the 1978 storms, some locations experienced unexpected
events where significant amounts of sediment overflowed the spillway or dam
before the basin was full. This type of event has been referred to as
"Momentum Overflow."
Appendix E includes a table comparing the design criteria for debris basins,
elevated inlets, and desilting inlets.
Debris Basin
Public Works’ Debris Dams and Basins Design Manual provides the specific
design criteria for a debris basin. Appendix D contains a debris basin design
example.
The criteria listed below amends the criteria given in Public Works’ Debris
Dams and Basins Design Manual.
• For the design of the outlet tower and conduit, refer to the section on
Outlet Works in Public Works’ Debris Dams and Basins Design
Manual.
• The embankment crest top width of the berm over the inlet shall be 20-
feet paved with 3 inches of asphalt concrete. A berm width of 15-feet
may be approved if geological analysis is provided to support the
reduction.
• The facing slab shall be 6-inch concrete or gunite with No. 5 reinforcing
steel at 18-inch spacing each way. See the section on Earthen Dam
Design, Protection for Dam Slopes in Public Works’ Debris Dams and
Basins Design Manual.
• For trash barrier design, refer to the Debris Barrier section in Public
Works’ Debris Dams and Basins Design Manual.
• For access road and ramp design, refer to the Access to Dam and
Basin section in Public Works’ Debris Dams and Basins Design
Manual. Access roads with 12-foot wide paving (3-inch asphalt
concrete on 4-inch crushed aggregate base) within a 15-foot easement
with a minimum turning radius of 40 feet can be used for structures with
capacity less than 20,000 cubic yards. Access ramps are required.
Unpaved ramps require slopes less than 10 percent. Paved ramps (3-
inch asphalt concrete on 4-inch crushed aggregate base) require
slopes less than or equal to 12 percent.
• For fencing, totally secure the basin area and inlet by 5-foot high
fencing per APWA standard drawing 600-0.
Figure 4.3.1
Typical Debris Basin
Elevated Inlet
Elevated inlets can be used if the conditions listed below are met. The
design concept for all elevated inlets must be approved by Public Works prior
to proceeding to final plans.
The following general criteria supplements the design criteria given in Public
Works’ Debris Dams and Basins Design Manual
• The embankment crest top width of the berm over the inlet shall be 20-
feet paved with 3 inches of asphalt concrete. A berm width of 15-feet
may be approved if geological analysis is provided to support the
reduction.
• The facing slab shall be 6-inch thick reinforced concrete with reinforcing
steel (no wire mesh) extending to the canyon wall. Air placed concrete
is acceptable. Provide facing slabs around the basin wall if the cut and
fill method is used to obtain the capacity.
• For trash barrier design, a swinging trash rack is required for conduits
greater than 48-inches in diameter. A sloping trash rack per LACDPW
3089-0 can be used for smaller conduits. Discuss with Design Division
prior to using a sloping trash rack especially in locations where organic
debris may present a significant problem and may lead to clogging up
the trash rack. Trash posts spaced at 4-feet or 2/3 the diameter of the
conduit, whichever is smaller, are also required at all elevated inlets.
• For access road and ramp design, refer to the Access to Dam and
Basin section in Public Works’ Debris Dams and Basins Design
Manual. A vehicular access road into the basin must be provided at
least 12-feet wide within a 15-feet easement, paved with 3 inches of
asphalt concrete over 4 inches of crushed aggregate base. Access
ramps are required. Unpaved ramps require slopes less than 10
percent. Paved ramps (3-inch asphalt concrete on 4-inch crushed
aggregate base) require slopes less than or equal to 12 percent.
• For hydraulic design, base the design of the inlet and storm drain on
requirements stated in Public Works’ Hydraulic Design Manual.
• The minimum freeboard at the inlet is 2-feet above the maximum water
surface elevation.
• The minimum drain size is 36-inch RCP and the maximum drain size is
84-inch RCP or an equivalent RC Box.
• Design the inlet and storm drain to convey the burned flow rate and the
fully developed watershed flow rate, whichever is higher.
If for any reason an elevated inlet cannot meet the requirements, then a
debris basin is required. A typical elevated inlet is shown in Figure 4.3.2.
Figure 4.3.2
Elevated Inlet
Desilting Inlet
Desilting inlets can be used if the conditions comply with the requirements for
a desilting inlet indicated below. The design concept for this inlet must be
approved by Public Works prior to proceeding to final plans.
The following general criterion supplements the design criteria given in Public
Works’ Debris Dams and Basins Design Manual.
• The embankment crest top width of the berm over the inlet shall be 20-
feet paved with 3 inches of asphalt concrete. A berm width of 15-feet
may be approved if geological analysis is provided to support the
reduction.
• The facing slab shall be 6-inch thick reinforced concrete with reinforcing
steel (no wire mesh) extending to the canyon wall. Air placed concrete
is acceptable. Provide facing slabs around the basin wall if the cut and
fill method is used to obtain the capacity.
• For trash barrier design, a sloping trash rack per LACDPW 3089-0 and
trash posts spaced at 2/3 the diameter of the conduit are required.
• For access road and ramp design, refer to the Access to Dam and
Basin section in Public Works’ Debris Dams and Basins Design
Manual. A vehicular access road into the basin must be provided at
• Access ramps are required. Unpaved ramps require slopes less than
10 percent. Paved ramps (3-inch asphalt concrete on 4-inch crushed
aggregate base) require slopes less than or equal to 12 percent.
• For hydraulic design, base the design of the inlet and storm drain on
requirements stated in Public Works’ Hydraulic Design Manual.
• The minimum freeboard at the inlet is 2-feet above the maximum water
surface elevation.
• The minimum drain size is 36-inch RCP and the maximum drain size is
48-inch RCP or an equivalent RC Box.
• Design the spillway notch and the inlet to pass the burned flow rate and
the fully developed watershed flow rate, whichever is higher.
• Design the desilting wall to withstand the overflow of the total burned
and bulked flow rate.

Crib Dam
A design manual for crib dams is currently not available from Public Works.
Contact Public Works’ Design Division for design details of the structure. For
other design details including outlet works, refer to Public Works’ Debris
Dams and Basins Design Manual.
The following general criteria supplements the design criteria given in Public
Works’ Debris Dams and Basins Design Manual.
• Place the footing slab and the cribbing of the structure on a 6 horizontal
to 1 vertical (6:1) upstream batter (see Figure 4.4.2).
• Cut-off walls for both the sill and the dam shall be a minimum six feet
deep or six inches into bedrock, whichever is less.
The height of the structure (H) varies to a maximum 15 feet high with a
reinforced concrete slab footing as shown in Figure 4.4.2. Refer to Public
Works’ Standard Plans manual (LACDPW 3085-0) for full design details of
the structure.
Design the spillway to pass a Capital Flood peak flow rate, Q burned and
bulked.
Provide access into the basin for cleanout purposes. On projects where a
road cannot be provided, construct a removable panel in the barrier. For
details of the road, refer to Public Works’ Debris Dams and Basins Design
Manual.

Pit-type Basin
To design the basin capacity, first determine the cone slope then determine
the storage ratio. The storage ratio is defined as the ratio of storage capacity
below original ground to the total storage capacity (see Figure 4.4.3).
• If the storage ratio is greater than 0.7, the level capacity shall
accommodate 100 percent of the design debris event.
• If the storage ratio is between 0.5 and 0.7, the level capacity shall
accommodate at least 80 percent of the design debris event.
If the storage ratio is below 0.5, the level capacity shall accommodate at least
50 percent of the design debris event.
Figure 4.4.3
Pit-Type Basin
The Public Works generally requires separate sediment and water retaining
facilities. However, in special cases where sediment may deposit in a
retention/detention basin, a combined facility may be accepted. Do not
proceed with the design until approval is received from Public Works.
If Public Works accepts the combined facility, then the basin flow rate capacity
is the difference between inflow versus outflow for the design flow rate of the
facility. Refer to Chapter 2 for Public Works’ policy on Level of Flood Protection
and to the 2006 Hydrology Manual for the method of determining the runoff
volume. Sediment storage capacity is equal to the design sediment production
of the watershed. Determine the design sediment volume using the sediment
production curves in Appendix B. The total capacity of the combined facility is
the sum of the volume needed to control runoff and sediment. The total
capacity must be located below spillway elevation as shown in Figure 4.5.1.

Sediment Transport
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Figure 5.1.1
Example of Sediment
Transport
Chapter 5 - Sediment Transport 50
Public Works’ general policy for the Santa Clara River and major tributaries is
included in Section 2.2. This policy promotes the use of soft-bottom channels to
pass sediment through the system where practical. Use debris or sediment
control and hard bottom (concrete) channels very sparingly, primarily to be
compatible with existing improvements.
The most desirable soft-bottom channel is one that does not degrade or
aggrade. This channel is said to be in equilibrium. Developments encroaching
on the floodplain reduce the channel width and increase the flow velocity. This
increases the sediment transport capacity, which leads to invert degradation.
Point stabilizers or drop structures may be used to prevent the scour from
undermining the levee lining. If a reach is naturally aggrading, channelization
can help increase the reach sediment transport capacity to approach the state
of equilibrium.
Levee failures can be due to general invert scour, bend scour, and/or local
scour. Channelization, therefore, needs smooth transitions between varying
sections and large radius bends. In addition, bridge abutment protection needs
to be tied back or blended into the levee lining.
QS = QS Equation 5.2.1
in out
Toe-down or cut-off depth is the depth to which the bank revetment must be
extended below grade to prevent undermining as the bed elevation fluctuates.
The requirement for toe-down is the total cumulative channel adjustments
possible from long-term degradation, general scour, bend scour, local scour,
low-flow incisement, and bed forms. For an example, see Appendix D.
The curves in Appendix C-1 (A, B, and C) may be used to estimate the
equilibrium slope. These curves show the relationship between the
percent increase in velocity resulting from channelization and the
corresponding change in invert slope. By subtracting that change from
the natural slope, you get the equilibrium slope. Each figure consists of
four curves to account for various reductions in sediment supply that
can result from sediment trapping facilities or gravel mining operations.
When using the curves in Appendix C-1, compute the percent increase
in velocity using Public Works’ Capital Flood discharge (Qcap), and 25%
of Qcap. Use the higher percent increase in velocity to determine the
equilibrium slope.
For a given flood event with a given duration, the volume of the
sediment deposited or eroded in a channel reach is simply the
difference between the upstream sediment supply rate and the channel
sediment transport rate. If the supply rate is greater than the transport
rate, the reach aggrades. The aggradation must be considered in the
design of the levee freeboard height (FB) (see “Embankment
Protection (Levee Height)” in this section). If the transport rate is
greater than the supply, general scour will occur. Any scour that results
from this phenomenon must be considered in the design of the total
levee toe-down dimension (Ztot).
The curve in Appendix C-3 may also be used to estimate the general
scour for the proposed flow velocity.
Appendix C-4 shows the relationship between pier width (b), in feet,
and local scour (Zls), in feet, for square-nose piers. The different curves
are for different velocities upstream of the bridge piers.
Scour depth adjustment factors (K1) for pier shape other than square
nose are presented in the following table:
Cylinder 0.9
Sharp nose 0.8
Group of cylinders 0.9
0.65
⎛b + d⎞ Equation
(5.4)5.2.4
K3 = ⎜ ⎟
⎝ b ⎠
Use four feet of debris blockage where a heavy floating debris load can
be expected. Otherwise, discuss with Public Works’ Water Resources
and Design Divisions. See Example 3 in Appendix D.
Note:

Abutment Scour at
Harding Street over
Pacoima Wash
August 25, 2005
For soft bottom channels where the flow may possibly carry large
debris (tree logs, boulders, etc.), increase the levee toe-down depth by
2 feet to account for local scour.
This is the scour induced on the channel bed along the outside banks
of channel curves.
The secondary currents that create bend scour extend for some
distance beyond the downstream end of the channel bend. The
relationship between the depth of flow within channel bend (Y), in feet,
and the extent of scour downstream of channel bend (X), in feet, is
shown on the graph in Appendix C-8. Figure 5.5.3 shows an example
of bend scour along the Santa Clara River.

San Gabriel River

The relationship between the mean channel velocity (V), in feet per
second, and the bed form height (h), in feet, is shown on the graph in
Appendix C-9. If the bed form height (h) from Appendix C-9 exceeds
the flow depth, use the flow depth instead.
The levees must be designed to contain the design flood plus adequate
freeboard.
Freeboard is the vertical distance from the water surface elevation to the top
of the levees. Freeboard represents the additional height required to ensure
overtopping does not occur from factors not accounted for in the design
water surface calculations. These factors include possible long-term
aggradation, superelevation at curved channels, and bed forms, in addition to
less identifiable components such as separation, excessive turbulence, wave
action and variations in loss coefficients.

Drop Structures
Drop structures (see Figures 5.3.2 and 5.3.3) are generally a conventional
design with some type of stilling pool below the drop. The channel invert
between the drop structures is graded to the design slope. See Example 4 in
Appendix D.
Place riprap downstream and upstream of the drop structure to reduce the
effect of local scour. The mean riprap size is a function of the flow velocity.
Appendix C-10 shows the relationship between the bottom velocity and the
required riprap size. If channel velocity is beyond the range of the graph in
Appendix C-10, an additional energy dissipation measure will be necessary
other than riprap.

Point Stabilizers
The primary function of a point stabilizer (see Figure 5.3.4) is to maintain the
stability of the natural streambed by controlling headcutting. The stabilizers are
set at natural grade and buried to a sufficient depth to account for the scouring
action that can occur during peak flows.
Figure 5.3.4
Point Stabilizer Drawing
Determine the spacing of the invert stabilizers (D), from the following equation:
H
D= Equation 5.3.1
( S o - S eq )
b) The invert slope is so steep that stabilizing the channel is not feasible.
a) Velocity of debris carrying flow shall not exceed 40 feet per second
The minimum velocity required to keep the channel clear of sediment is known
as the limiting deposit velocity (Vl). Graphs in Appendix C-11 show the
relationship between the size of sediment for which 85 percent of the sediment
is finer (d85) and the limiting deposit velocity (Vl) in feet per second.
Follow the requirements discussed below for the design of concrete channels
carrying bulked flow.
Figure 5.4.1
Rio Hondo Channel
December 15, 1977
Closed conduits carrying bulked flow may be used according to the conditions
in Table 4.1.1 for inlet with bulked flow drain. The design concept must be
approved by Public Works prior to proceeding to final plans. Follow the require-
ments listed below for design of closed conduits carrying bulked flow.
Watersheds producing 1,000 cubic yards of sediment or greater require the use
of an open channel (see Section 5.4) or a sediment control facility (see Chapter
4). See Figure 5.5.2 for a typical sediment carrying inlet and drain. Figure 5.5.1
shows a sediment-filled culvert.

Transition Design
Table 5.6.1 lists design considerations for transitions between different types
of channels.
Table 5.6.1
FROM TO DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Transition Design
Considerations
• Provide adequate cut-off at beginning of
concrete channel
• Increase inlet slope to accelerate the flow
Soft-bottom Hard-bottom
to limiting deposit velocity (V l)
channel channel
• Provide smooth transition angles
• If transition is from an unimproved channel,
extend wing walls to the floodplain limits
• Use energy dissipation structure to reduce
velocities to natural velocity
• If concrete channel outlets into an
Hard-bottom Soft-bottom
unimproved soft bottom channel, design
channel channel
the outlet to direct the flow to its natural
path. Extend wing walls to flood plain
limits
Energy Dissipation
Storm drains and channels which outlet into a natural or improved soft bottom
channel will generally require an energy dissipater to reduce velocities to a non-
erosive magnitude. The type of dissipater structure depends on the approach
velocity and the desired natural velocity. Consult Public Works’ Design Division
for type and design of energy dissipation structure.

DEBRIS PRODUCTION & BULKED Q
Scale EXAMPLE PROBLEM
LAP MRHNDO1.FRM 12/01/90
SEDEXPO1.FRM
Hydrology/Sedimentation Appendix R- 1 December 1990
SEDIMENTATION APPENDIX D D-1
EXAMPLE 1
Given:
Burned Q = 348 cfs
Total Area = 224 acres = 0.35 sq. miles
Developed Area = 45 acres = 0.07 sq. miles
Problem:
Find the total debris production and the bulked Q.
Answer:
1. Calculate the areas for each DPA zone.
1 77 0.12 0
2 147 0.23 0.07
2. Determine the debris production rate (DPR) for each DPA zone from Appendix
B
P-3 corresponding to the total drainage area.
4. Determine the peak bulking factor for each DPA zone from Appendix B
P-6 and
find the Qbulked(QB) as follows:
In DPA zone 1:
Peak bulking factor for area Al + A2 = BFI(Al+A2) = 2
Peak bulking factor for area Al - Adl = BFl(Al-AdI) = 2
In DPA zone 2:
Peak bulking factor for area Al + A2 = BF2(A,+A2) = 1.81
Peak bulking factor for area A2 - Ad2 = BF2(Al-AI?Z)= 1.81
The given watershed is in DPA zone 6 and has a tributary area of 0.2 square miles.
The debris production rate for the given watershed is 37,500 cubic yards (see curve on
Appendix page B-1
P-1.
The Design Debris Event (DDE) is 37,500 x 0.2 = 7,500 cubic yards
EXAMPLE 2-A
Given:
Spillway crest elevation, El, = 530.7 ft
Original ground elevation below the spillway, Elg = 517.3 ft
The cone lines are located by measuring along the profile which has a slope of 3.3% in
this example. To calculate the volume of the debris cone, begin by selecting the cone
line at the spillway crest (530.7). The second cone line is selected at elevation 532.0
feet. The first contour interval is thus 1.3 feet. The third and following cone lines will
be selected at 2 foot contour intervals and so on until elevation 544.0 feet. Since the
highest cone line daylights at elevation 544.1, the last contour interval is only 0.1 foot.
After selecting the cone lines, the contour area at each cone line will be planimetered.
The areas of two contours are averaged, then multiplied by the contour interval (typically
2 feet in this example, except for the very first and last contour intervals) to calculate the
volume of that slice. Starting at the spillway crest, all volumes of slices are summed
until the top of cone. The total volume constitutes the cone capacity. The cone capacity
is added to the level capacity for the total capacity of the basin (see attached plan on
page D-8)
R-8).
If the volume reached is not sufficient for the DDE, then a higher dam must be used,
and the calculations repeated as before.

Therefore, with natural slope equal to 0.007, the maximum long term degradation
in the channelized reach can be computed as follows:
5.2(c)
A typical value of 2 ft was used. (See Section 5.A-2(c).)
X = 170 ft
Since there were no field measurements, a typical value of 2 ft was used. (See

down is 15 ft (for a curved reach and a velocity of 12 fps), therefore, use 15 ft cut-
off depth.
The channel was assumed to have little vegetation, therefore a higher Manning's n
of 0.035 was used to evaluate maximum freeboard. By performing hydraulic analysis
for the specific reach, flow velocity and depth were determined to be 11fps and 4.8
ft, respectively.

Freeboard = ,Y + Ygu + YSe+ -h

According to section C-4.2 in the Hydraulic Design Manual, for average flow velocity
of 35 fps or less, the freeboard is 2.5 ft. Therefore use 2.5 ft freeboard.
Find the total pier scour and abutment scour for a proposed bridge in a straight reach
of the proposed channel given the following additional information:
Pier width, b = 3 ft
Pier angle of attack = 15 degrees
Pier length, L = 15 ft
Length abutment protrudes into the flow, a = 7 ft
Pier type = Round Nose
The channel was assumed to have little vegetation, therefore debris blockage was
assumed to be two feet.
Flow velocity, V (13.0 feet), and depth, Y (4.0 feet), at the proposed bridge section were
determined by performing a hydraulic analysis using a low Manning's n of 0.025 and pier
width of 3 + 2 = 5 feet.
