within property boundaries of Oak Park Heights, Stillwater, <br />Mn /DOT, and Baytown Township, close coordination among all was a <br />necessity. <br />WAUSAU, WISCONSIN <br />SEH provided the City with hydrologic analyses of rural and urban <br />watersheds totaling 15 square miles. Each watershed had the <br />majority of its area outside the city limits, and drained through <br />the City's conveyance systems to the Wisconsin River. Using the <br />SCS TR -20 program, existing and future watershed conditions were <br />analyzed. The HOBCW program was used to analyze discharge of <br />certain reaches and the CE STORM program was used to check <br />available capacities of trunk storm sewers. The report <br />recommended the preservation and construction of detention areas <br />outside the city limits to reduce flooding and costs for <br />conveying the peak flows through the City. In addition, the <br />report outlines the need for the area to form a Watershed <br />Management Organization and the methods to do so. <br />OTHER STORM WATER PROJECTS <br />Studies have been or are under investigation and design for the <br />following communities: <br />Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin <br />Cumberland, Wisconsin <br />Durand, Wisconsin <br />Prescott, Wisconsin <br />New Richmond, Wisconsin <br />St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin <br />Most of these projects involved retention /detention basins with <br />gravity outlets while a number of other projects involved storm <br />water pumping where gravity outlets did not exist. <br />Page 12 <br />- 14 - <br />
