Flood Studies
Briar Creek Floodplain Modeling
City Job No. 425-D1-0004
Through this contract, the Consultant will update the rainfall and runoff generation (hydrologic) and floodplain (hydraulic) modeling for Briar Creek, using updated topographic information as well as more accurate information related to the Carter’s Creek floodplain which significantly affects this watershed. The results of the updated models will be provided to FEMA for the Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) process to update the community Flood Insurance Rate Maps.

Stormwater Master Plan & 2-D Model Update
City Job No. 425-D1-2501
The goal of the City-Wide Stormwater Master Plan is to provide a comprehensive 1-dimensional/2-dimensional integrated storm sewer catchment analysis of the existing drainage infrastructure for evaluating system capacity of the storm sewer system, overland flow patterns, extended ponding conditions, and the storm sewer interactions with the primary channels throughout the City of Bryan. The analysis is focused on refining the existing model with additional data, updated terrain, and refined analysis techniques. The analysis will also look to identify areas of high flood risk for supporting a prioritization framework for proposed drainage improvement projects, identification of future capital improvement projects, & potential integration into the City's Flood Early Warning System.

Thompsons Creek Watershed Study
City Job No. 425-D1-2319
The goals of this project are to help facilitate orderly, safe development by establishing these base flood elevations and floodways; and by identifying potential regional solutions for mitigation rather than relying on a piecemeal approach as individual tracts develop.
The Thompsons Creek watershed, between Silver Hill Road and its confluence with the Brazos River, is designated by FEMA as Zone A (a high-risk flood hazard area with a 1% annual chance of flooding and a 26% chance of flooding over a 30-year period)without any established Base Flood Elevations (BFE’s). The study will establish these Base Flood Elevations (BFE’s) and delineate floodplain and floodway based upon the current hydrologic and hydraulic conditions. Flood elevations and flood extents will also be developed based upon future developed conditions along with identifying potential sites for structural projects such as regional detention, channel widening, channel benching, etc. to mitigate increases in runoff due to development. This study will encompass a total of 22 miles of streams.
At the conclusion of this study, a Special Flood Hazard Area map and report will be prepared for a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) submission to FEMA.
