Description

This report discusses channel improvement alternatives along Cardinal Creek, with the objective of providing flood relief so that the floodplain lands can be used for agricultural purposes. Several alternatives are examined, with the 1:10 year return flood as the design discharge. It was found that the work required to increase the channel capacity to the 1:10 year flood discharge would cost in excess of $1 million. It is, therefore, recommended that all beaverdams and abandoned bridges be removed completely from the creek, and that the channel be cleared of brush. With these works, the extend and frequency of overbank flooding would be reduced significantly. Clearing and brushing would be required annually.
