PROJECT FEATURES and UNIQUE CONDITIONS <br /> A. Specific Project Features <br /> 1. Flap Gate Well Inlets — There are 25 inlets to the Amazon Creek Flood Control <br /> Works that incorporate a constructed concrete well at the top of the channel bank <br /> or levee. The wells provide access to flap gates on the channel side of the drain <br /> pipe. In turn, the gates were intended to prevent backflow into specific ditches, <br /> swales or other low areas behind the channel bank (although many of these <br /> areas are now filled). Each well is covered with a thick metal plate that is held <br /> down by one or more large diameter bolts /nuts. These inlets were constructed <br /> as part of the original project and may require periodic inspection and cleaning to <br /> ensure they perform as designed. <br /> The following inlet and station numbers are per the As Constructed drawings for <br /> the Amazon Creek Flood Control Works Project, circa 1951 through 1958. <br /> Inlet # Station # Approximate Location <br /> 3 133 +50 South levee, 2400 feet west of Greenhill Road <br /> 5 237 +26 East bank, south side of R.R. trestle <br /> 6 237 +26 West bank, south side of R.R. trestle <br /> 7 245 +00 West bank, 800 feet south of R.R. trestle <br /> 8 244 +90 East bank, 800 feet south of R.R. trestle <br /> 9 264 +70 South bank, 200 feet east of private vehicle bridge <br /> near the dead end of Terry Street <br /> 10 272 +03 South bank, 930 feet east of private vehicle bridge <br /> near the dead end of Terry Street <br /> 11 281 +90 South bank, 680 feet west of Danebo Avenue <br /> 16 B 344 +65 South bank, just east of the 2 bend of Sam R Street <br /> 17 A 353 +64 South bank, slightly east of Wallis Street right -of -way <br /> 18 A 377 +49 North bank, 300 feet east of Bailey Hill Road <br /> 18 B 382 +50 South bank, 600 feet west of Richardson Bridge <br /> 18 C 388 +00 North bank, just east of Richardson Bridge <br /> 19 394 +67 South bank, 525 feet west of Acorn Park Street <br /> 20 394 +36 North bank, 550 feet west of Acorn Park Street <br /> 29 427 +93 North bank, 375 feet west of City View Street <br /> 31 437 +20 South bank, 510 feet east of City View Street <br /> 32 439 +48 East bank, 70 feet south of W. 13 Avenue <br /> 34 449 +00 South bank, 360 feet west of Garfield Street bridge <br /> 36 455 +00 South bank, 200 feet west of Garfield Street bridge <br /> 41 475 +30 South bank, 135 feet west of Blue Heron bridge <br /> 42 479 +65 North bank, 490 feet west of Polk Street <br /> 43 479 +65 South bank, 490 feet west of Polk Street <br /> 44 481 +25 North bank, 315 feet west of Polk Street <br /> 46 490 +15 North bank, 120 feet east of Tyler Street right -of -way <br /> Emergency Response Plan for Amazon Creek 9 September, 2008 <br /> P: \Cdocs\AP WARefDocs \E mergencyMgmt <br />
