\ <br /> Rm. 116, 57 Fairgrounds Dr. , Madison, WI 53713 <br /> Phone: 264-5458 <br /> September 9, 1980 <br /> Edmond P. Minihan, Chairman, <br /> Town of Dunn <br /> Office of Town Clerk <br /> 4156 C,T.H. B <br /> McFarland, WI 53558 <br /> Dear Mr. Minihan: <br /> As requested, we have prepared the following assessment of the runoff problems <br /> located in section 23 near Colladay Point. <br /> There are 189 acres draining to Lake Kegonsa through the problem area. Using <br /> our runoff estimation methods, we come up with the following data. Under existing <br /> conditions, a 10-year frequency storm will yield 160 cubic feet per second (cfs) <br /> of runoff volume. A 25-year storm will yield 200 cfs. <br /> To safely carry these volumes of runoff, the following sized vegetative channels <br /> would be needed. (Using one percent grade and 4:1 side slopes) <br /> 160 cfs 200 cfs <br /> Depth 2.4 ft. 2.6 ft. <br /> Bottom Width 4.0 ft. 4.0 ft. <br /> Top Width 23.2 ft. 24.8 ft. <br /> By having needed conservation practices applied in the watershed, the runoff Mould <br /> be reduced to 110 cfs for a 10-year storm and 150 cfs for a 25-year storm. <br /> Channels for these volumes with 4:1 side slopes are as follows: <br /> 110 cfs 150 cfs <br /> Depth 21.t ft. 2.4 ft. <br /> ''Bottom Width 4.0 ft. 4.0 ft. <br /> Top Width 20.8 ft. 23.2 ft. <br /> ' Two to one side slopes could be used. However, that would increase the depth and,' <br /> because of the lake level, there is not much available. Also 2:1 side slopes pres <br /> greater maintenance problems.. <br />
