Description

The Elbow River Dam at McLean Creek site (MC1) was investigated as one of several options considered to mitigate flood risk, considering the devastation that occurred during the June 2013 flood. The MC1 project concept considers building an earth fill dam across the main stem of the Elbow River. This study builds on the results of previous work and utilizes the results of subsurface investigations documented in the data report entitled Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation, Elbow River Dam at McLean Creek, Alberta, AMEC, May 2014 included in this sudy as Appendix B. This current study also utilizes LiDAR 15 elevation data which is significantly more accurate than elevation data available for previous work.

Description

The City of Calgary, in partnership with Alberta Environment, plans to create a hydraulic model of the Bow and Elbow Rivers through Calgary, to support emergency response planning and operations through flood inundation mapping. The model will provide additional perspective on current flood hazard area management and will provide a basis for increased understanding of fish habitat, river morphology and erosion, water quality and storm water runoff impacts. The first component of the project was a hydrology study, which was contracted to Golder Associates Ltd. and is the subject of this report. The hydrology study is required to determine the flood magnitudes for Bow River and its tributaries through the city for use in the hydraulic model.
