5. Construct, operate, and maintain screw pumps behind the aforementioned levee wall and construct and maintain associated 36-inch diameter corrugated plastic pipe (CPP) stormwater piping, endwall, and outfall structure with an R-6 riprap apron within the floodway of, and along, McLaughlin Run resulting in 10 LF of permanent watercourse impacts, 0.014 ac of permanent floodway impacts, and 0.075 ac of permanent floodplain fringe impacts. The watercourse impact length for this activity completely overlaps with the with watercourse impacts associated with the aforementioned levee wall construction and excavation.
6. Construct and maintain two 36-inch diameter CPP stormwater pipes, endwalls, and outfall structures with R-5 riprap aprons within the floodway of, and along, McLaughlin Run, resulting in 18 LF of permanent watercourse impacts, 0.002 ac of permanent floodway impacts, and 0.016 ac of permanent floodplain fringe impacts. These structures are associated with another set of screw pumps at the downstream end of the aforementioned levee wall.
7. Construct and maintain a temporary stream crossing for work site access, resulting in 10 LF of temporary watercourse impacts and 0.004 ac of temporary floodway impacts.
8. Construct and maintain temporary dewatering, erosion control, and sediment control facilities, resulting in 1,203 LF of temporary watercourse impacts, 0.414 ac of temporary floodway impacts, and 0.013 ac of floodplain fringe impacts. The temporary watercourse impact for this activity overlaps with the 10 LF of watercourse impacts associated with the aforementioned temporary stream crossing.
9. Remove 5 LF of existing 6" PVC Pipe and constructing and maintaining a new outfall structure with an R4 riprap apron within the floodway of McLaughlin Run, to integrate this outfall structure with the aforementioned floodwall.
10. Remove 5 LF existing 6" PVC Pipe and constructing and maintaining a new outfall structure within the floodway of McLaughlin Run, to integrate this outfall structure with the aforementioned floodwall.
11. Remove 4 LF existing 6" PVC Pipe and constructing and maintaining a new outfall structure within the floodway of McLaughlin Run, to integrate this outfall structure with the aforementioned Modify and maintain a third existing 6" PVC stormwater outfall by removing the final 6 LF of pipe and constructing an R4 riprap apron resulting in 0.001 ac of permanent impacts within the floodway of McLaughlin Run.
12. Remove 16 LF of existing 6" PVC Pipe and constructing and maintaining a new outfall structure with an R4 riprap apron within the floodway of McLaughlin Run, to integrate this outfall structure with the aforementioned floodwall.
13. Remove 7 LF existing 8" CMP Pipe and constructing and maintaining a new outfall structure within the floodway of McLaughlin Run, to integrate this outfall structure with the aforementioned floodwall.
14. Remove 11 LF existing 18" CMP Pipe and constructing and maintaining a new outfall structure within the floodway of McLaughlin Run, to integrate this outfall structure with the aforementioned floodwall.
For the purpose of controlling the frequent flooding that affects the residents and businesses along McLaughlin Run. Cumulatively, the project will permanently impact approximately 1,208 LF of watercourse, 0.841 ac of floodway, 0.281 ac of floodplain fringe and will temporarily impact approximately 1,299 LF of watercourse, 0.463 ac of floodway, and 0.013 ac of floodplain fringe.
