Subject: Penetrations At-Risk Engineering Evaluations, American North Levee System (ANLS) SAFCA Due Diligence Review for Urban Levee Design Criteria Section 7.13 This Technical Memorandum (TM) is part of Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency’s (SAFCA) due diligence review for compliance with the California Department of Water Resources’ (DWR) Urban Levee Design Criteria (ULDC) for the ANLS. This TM pertains to Section 7.13 – Penetrations.
The purpose of this TM is to describe the engineering evaluations completed for each of the penetrations that were determined to require a full engineering evaluation after the screening process carried out during the due diligence effort. Any penetrations requiring further investigation or exception to ULDC section 7.13, are discussed in a separate TM describing the compliance work plan. Both this TM and the Penetration Exception Work Plan TM are incorporated into Mead & Hunt’s ULDC Due Diligence Report as Appendices.
ULDC Section 7.13 criteria states:
Civil engineer needs to assess existing penetrations and render an opinion as to their impact on the reliable performance of the levee/floodwall for the full range of loading up to the hydraulic top of levee (HTOL). Due to the limitations of analytical tools for assessing the impacts of penetrations, the civil engineer needs to exercise sound engineering judgment in rendering this opinion.
Penetrations with a potential to be a high hazard need to have a full engineering evaluation, to demonstrate that the hazard is acceptable, or be removed or modified.
Mead & Hunt evaluated penetrations based on a compilation of requirements from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Central Valley Flood Protection Board (CVFPB), ULDC, and FEMA which came down to four criteria – structural strength, joint flexibility, emergency closure, and condition of penetration, as well as verifying the penetrations were permitted. The specific criteria used is outlined in our previous certification reviews in 2015. As part of the current due diligence effort, Mead & Hunt has re-screened penetrations for engineering evaluations and condition assessment factors. The specific factors that were considered in the engineering evaluations were: below design water surface elevation (DWSE); joint integrity; structural factors (depth, material, and diameter); age; CVFPB permit status; and verification that pipe material condition inspections were conducted within the last five (5) years. All evaluations were Technical Memorandum

performed in accordance with ULDC section 7.13.
Primary guidance for the engineering evaluations was provided by EM 1110-2-2902, 31 December 2020, Conduits, Pipes, and Culverts Associated with Dams and Levee Systems and CVFPB standards.
2.1 Penetrations Below DWSE
Penetrations below design water surface elevation present an increased risk of seepage, slope stability issues and structural integrity of the levee. A primary Potential Failure Mode (PFM) due to low penetrations is the increased risk of Backwards Erosion Piping (BEP) along the interface of the pipe wall exterior with the surrounding soil. Another consideration is the increased risk of Concentrated Leak Erosion (CLE) PFM due to pipe integrity breach creating a seepage path into the pipe/conduit or erosion from leak of a pressurized pipe causing significant erosion of the embankment While the majority of the penetrations flagged were installed in accordance with permit conditions that placed the invert evaluation above the applicable design water surface elevation at the time of installation, the assessment is based upon current DWSE profiles. Some penetrations were permitted to be installed below the applicable DWSE, with appropriate installation details to limit risk to the line of flood protection.
The screening of the ANLS penetrations identified a total of 9 penetrations installed with inverts below the DWSE that required a full engineering evaluation. Attachment 1 includes a summary of the applicable factors of the installation, summary of the evaluation, and findings. Attachment 2 shows the locations of these penetrations. All of the penetrations were found not to create a significant risk to the reliable performance of the levee or have been added to the Penetration Exception Work Plan TM.
2.2 Penetrations with Leakage Risk due to Joint Type
Based upon our review, only one (1) penetration uses a joint style that is at risk of leakage, absent of deterioration. The 12-inch ductile iron water main in the ARNL at the Norwood Avenue bridge includes restrained mechanical joints (SAFCA ID 1008, CVFPB Permit 18617). As-built plans indicate the pipe material was changed from welded steel pipe (WSP) to ductile iron pipe. Attachment 2 shows the location of this penetration.
The invert of the pipe was found to be above the design top of levee. As a result, any erosion due to breach of the joint would progress upward and be outside the zone of influence of the levee. Water released would runoff through the normal drainage pathway on the roadway, which includes curb and gutter.
Based upon the review of this potential failure mode, it was found that this penetration does not present a significant risk to levee integrity.

2.3 Penetrations Flagged for Structural Factors
Penetrations flagged for structural factors were subject to a full engineering evaluation where screening indicated that the loading was above the typical loading conditions established for conduits within the ANLS, using conservative soil unit weights, depth of saturation and equipment loading. Buoyancy forces were evaluated for shallow large diameter penetrations. The methodology is described further in Mead & Hunt’s 2015 Certification Report (Mead & Hunt 2015). Structural loading calculations were conducted to bracket the screening assessment. Additionally, the penetrations flagged during initial screening were further reviewed for site specific loading as the part of the screening effort.
As a result of this screening assessment and analysis, one (1) penetration was identified for full engineering evaluation:
• SAFCA ID 1050, AR01 Station 4063+71 – SRCSD Dry Creek Interceptor – 66-inch RCP with approximately 28 feet of cover. Calculations indicate Class 4 RCP is overstressed.
The penetration that was determined to be potentially overstressed will be addressed by a work plan as outlined in the Penetration Exception Work Plan TM that will include further outreach to the utility owner for more detailed data on the installations and/or inspections. Due to the satisfactory performance to date, the inherent strength of pipe material, and the high class bedding and installation as documented by CVFPB inspections, the pipe is considered to be a limited risk. However, further data on pipe type and class, installation details, and loading is required to inform the path forward.
2.4 Penetrations Flagged Due to Age
The age of all penetrations was compared to the service life limits as established in Mead & Hunt’s 2015 Certification Report (Mead & Hunt 2015), which includes a detailed discussion of the basis for evaluation.
Only metallic pipes were identified as requiring further review. 37 penetrations were initially flagged for age check review and 35 were further evaluated, which is discussed below and are included as exceptions in the Penetration Exception Work Plan TM.
The City of Sacramento, Department of Utilities, Water Division, has a rigorous inspection program and has found that the distribution and transmission watermains within the project area show no signs of degradation. Water conditions (relatively neutral pH and non-abrasive flow) and lining methods for steel piping used at levee crossings have been found by the City to provide a superior level of corrosion control. While soil resistivity is variable, City watermains were found to have appropriate coatings for conditions. Electrical potential testing with a close interval survey is completed by the City on a three (3) year cycle, with two (2) cycles completed to date with no adverse findings. The exposed portions of piping attached to bridges are subject to close visual inspection and concurrently conducted with minimal degradation of exposed coatings found. As a result, the City transmission and distribution mains were found to have significant remaining useful life and are not flagged as requiring further age checks.
Penetrations that fall outside of this assessment are included as requiring further age-induced checks.
Steel pipes found to have active cathodic protection systems were found to have remaining useful life and are not flagged as requiring further evaluation. Abandoned and deactivated pipelines are included in the Technical Memorandum

work plan for follow-up as cathodic protection systems can be deactivated. PG&E gas mains and Kinder Morgan petroleum pipelines have cathodic protection systems by regulation.
Typical coated welded steel pipe (WSP) design life was established as 50 years for purposes of the screening assessment. However, the service life can be greatly extended by the use of appropriate coatings and cathodic protection. The corrugated metal pipe (CMP) service life was also established as 50 years for screening purposes. Galvanized iron pipes were flagged for further evaluation based upon age. No ductile (cast) iron pipes were flagged for further evaluation based upon age.
The age check review identified the following quantity of pipes requiring more detailed inspections, and a list is included in our Penetration Exception Work Plan TM and organized as follows:
CMP – Three (3) penetrations
Galvanized Iron Pipes – Five (5) penetrations
WSP – 27 penetrations
As described in Mead & Hunt’s 2015 certification report, the service life of WSP and CMPs can be greatly extended with the use of proper coatings and linings that are typically required for ANLS permitted pipes.
The pipe interiors for drainage pipes have been or will be inspected by the City and County owners. The water pipelines, water mains, and gas mains are tested by owners using electrical conductivity methods.
The active gas transmission mains and petroleum pipelines have cathodic protection systems and are subject to routine close interval leakage surveys. The small diameter galvanized iron pipes can only be evaluated by electrical conductivity/resistivity methods. A work plan for the utility owners to verify the conditions of the flagged aged pipes and to develop plans for replacement as needed is described in our Penetration Exception Work Plan TM.
2.5 Penetrations with Permits Not Found
Based upon the information provided to Mead & Hunt for our review, the following four (4) penetrations were identified as having no permits:
• SAFCA ID 3320, AR01 Station 4109+95, AR01 - 4” PG&E gas main on downstream face of Marysville Blvd bridge deck
• SAFCA ID 3318 AR01 Station 4109+95 – 3” RGS SMUD conduits on face of Marysville Blvd bridge deck
• SAFCA ID 3319 AR01 Station 4109+95 – 3” RGS SMUD conduits on face of Marysville Blvd bridge deck
• SAFCA ID 4173 AR01 Station 4068+46 – 4” buried communication conduit immediately upstream of Rio Linda Blvd (Century Lync)
In addition, the following pumping plants have no specific permit identified:
• Sacramento County D-05, Howe Avenue Pump Station
• Sacramento County D-43, Wilhaggin Pump Station
• City of Sacramento Drainage Sump 95
Technical Memorandum
Thomas Engler, MBK Engineers
August 27, 2024
The Sacramento County D-05 and D-43 pump stations, along with the original conduits through the levee, were installed by the USACE during the 1950s levee reconstruction work. These penetrations are accounted for in Unit No. 118 – Part 2 Supplement to the Standard Operation and Maintenance Manual for the Sacramento River Flood Control Project1 and were; therefore, not separately permitted.
The work plan for further review and updates to permitting is included in the Penetration Exception Work Plan TM.
2.6 Penetration Inspections
All levee penetrations require inspection/testing at a maximum interval of five (5) years. SAFCA, ARFCD, and Mead & Hunt have been coordinating with pipe penetration owners to complete these inspections.
Most are in progress or planned for inspection. This ULDC requirement does not require additional engineering evaluations; however, the inspections must be completed, or a plan must be in place to complete this work. The work plan for the inspection exceptions is included in our Penetration Exception Work Plan TM.
Mead & Hunt’s initial screening in the ANLS identified penetrations that required full engineering evaluations based on the assessment factors described in this TM for DWSE, joint flexibility, structural integrity, age, CVFPB permit, and up-to-date inspection/testing data. Our conclusions regarding each assessment factor are as follows:
• Below DWSE: The penetrations identified as passing through levee embankment below DWSE were further evaluated as described in Attachment 1 and findings of no significant risk were made for all but two. Two PG&E gas main penetrations findings are indeterminate pending further data.
• Joint Flexibility: One penetration was flagged for further review based upon a non-standard joint type. The full engineering evaluation determined the joint failure was not a significant risk to the levee stability or reliability, due to the specific position within the levee embankment. • Structural Factors: One penetration was flagged for full engineering evaluation. The penetration was determined to be potentially overstressed but will be addressed by a work plan as outlined in Penetration Exception Work Plan TM. That TM includes further outreach to the utility owner for more detailed data on the installations and/or inspections. Due to the satisfactory performance to date, the inherent strength of pipe material, and the high-class bedding and installation as documented by CVFPB inspections, the pipe is considered to be a limited risk. However, further data is required to inform the path forward. The Penetration Exception Work Plan TM describes the steps required in order to bring these penetrations into compliance with ULDC criteria. • Age (Useful Life): 35 penetrations required further evaluation.

To: Thomas Engler, MBK Engineers
From: Stephen Sullivan, Civil Engineer of Record
Reviewed by: Jeffrey Kashiwada, Senior Project Engineer Date: August 27, 2024
Subject: Penetration Exceptions Work Plan, American North Levee System (ANLS) SAFCA Due Diligence Review for Urban Levee Design Criteria Section 7.13 This Technical Memorandum (TM) is part of the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency’s (SAFCA) due diligence review for compliance with the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) Urban Levee Design Criteria (ULDC) for the ANLS. This TM pertains to Section 7.13 – Penetrations.
The purpose of this TM is to provide background, justification, and work plans for exceptions to ULDC Section 7.13 requirements for penetrations. Mead & Hunt has identified penetrations, as summarized in our Engineering Evaluations TM, that require a work plan to resolve exceptions to ULDC criteria. Both this TM and the Penetrations Evaluation TM are attached as appendices to Mead & Hunt’s ULDC Due Diligence Report for the ANLS.
ULDC Section 7.13 criteria states:
Civil engineer needs to assess existing penetrations and render an opinion as to their impact on the reliable performance of the levee/floodwall for the full range of loading up to the hydraulic top of levee (HTOL).
Mead & Hunt evaluated penetrations based on a compilation of requirements from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Central Valley Flood Protection Board (CVFPB), ULDC, and FEMA which came down to four criteria – structural strength, joint flexibility, emergency closure, and condition of the penetration. The specific criteria used is outlined in our previous certification reviews in 2015. As part of the current due diligence effort, Mead & Hunt has re-screened penetrations for engineering evaluations and condition assessment factors. The specific factors that were considered in the Engineering Evaluations TM were: below design water surface elevation (DWSE); structural factors (depth, material, and diameter); age; joint flexibility; CVFPB permit status; and inspection completion/documentation within the last five (5) years. All evaluations were conducted in accordance with ULDC section 7.13.
Based upon our Penetrations Evaluation TM (referenced above), Mead & Hunt has developed work plans for those penetrations found to require an exception to ULDC Section 7.13 criteria. The categorical risk assessment reasoning for the exceptions and proposed work plans for each category are discussed below in Sections 2.1.1 through 2.1.6. A table of the penetrations, including SAFCA ID, exception, Technical Memorandum

category, owner, and basic information is provided in Section 2.2.
2.1 Exceptions and Mitigation Plans
Mead & Hunt has screened and provided engineering evaluations for the following exception categories (Engineering Evaluations TM). For each exception category, there is a proposed work plan (if necessary).
2.1.1 Penetrations Below DWSE
Exception background and assessment: Our Penetrations Evaluation TM includes analysis and finding of no significant impact for all penetrations in this category.
Exception work plan: None required.
2.1.2 Mechanical Joint Flexibility Risk Factors
Exception background and assessment: None found.
Work plan: Not required.
2.1.3 Penetration Structural Evaluations
Exception background and assessment: Based upon initial screening of the need for structural evaluations in the ANLS, one (1) Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (SRCSD) sewer pipe was flagged for evaluation. The pipe is SRCSD’s Dry Creek Interceptor crossing under Arcade Creek immediately downstream of the Sacramento Northern Bike Trail and is a 66- inch RCP with approximately 28 feet of cover, SAFCA ID 1050, AR01 Station 4063+71. The pipe materials for the identified crossing are strong, with high-class bedding and backfill, and not found to be at risk of failure. However, load calculations identified low factors of safety, using conservative assumptions for loading and strength. The penetrations identified are unlikely to pose a threat to levee integrity or reliability at a full range of loading (up to the HTOL), based upon over 40 years of satisfactory performance. Attachment 1 of this TM discusses this penetration in further detail, and Attachment 2 is a figure showing the location of the penetration.
Work plan: SAFCA (via Mead & Hunt) will work with SRCSD to obtain and review penetration information, including pipe classification, backfill methods, and data on installation at depth.
SRCSD will conduct pipe inspections to review for cracking and distress, after which assessment findings will be completed by Mead & Hunt, and supplements to this due diligence report will be issued within one (1) year of transmittal of the Final ULDC Engineer’s Report to the responsible land use agency (City of Sacramento). As required, details for any proposed repairs will be submitted to SAFCA, American River Flood Control District (ARFCD), CVFPB, and the responsible land use agency (City or County of Sacramento) for review. The responsible land use agency will ensure that such repairs will be completed within five (5) years of the Final ULDC Engineer’s Report.
Technical Memorandum
Thomas Engler, MBK Engineers
August 27, 2024
Completion of the required work plan, which may include collection of documents, inspection, construction, and reporting, shall be evaluated and transmitted to the responsible land use agency and be appended to the ULDC Engineer’s Report. This supplemental information shall be retained and used for review by the land use agency during future ULDC evaluations.
2.1.4 Penetrations Exceeding Age Expectancy (Useful Life) Exception background and assessment: Based upon penetration material, anticipated useful life, and owner practices certain penetrations required further review as discussed in our Engineering Evaluations TM. Attachment 1 to this TM summarizes existing data on these penetrations, and Attachment 2 maps the location.
A total of 36 penetrations have been identified that have passed the minimum threshold Mead & Hunt has established for screening of remaining service life. It is recommended that these pipes be subject to additional inspection. Except as described herein, pipes that have been recently inspected and found to have remaining useful life are also included in the list. They are flagged for purposes of identifying those that require increased vigilance. The age limit established for screening of penetrations is described in our Engineering Evaluations TM and is based on pipe material.
Work plan: SAFCA (via Mead & Hunt) will identify penetrations requiring further assessment and notify the Owners of necessary inspections and reporting, requesting that any existing available inspection results be provided within sixty (60) days of the transmittal of the Final ULDC Engineer’s Report to the SAFCA and the responsible land use agency (City or County of Sacramento). Supplemental reporting to accompany this due diligence review will be completed by SAFCA (via Mead & Hunt) within one (1) year of the report date to document further findings and identify any additional work as needed.
SAFCA (via Mead & Hunt) will lead this outreach. The ARFCD, the CVFPB, and/or land use agencies (City and County of Sacramento) should continue to follow up with utility owners and require documentation of pipe conditions. . The responsible land use agency will be responsible for enforcement, along with the CVFPB, if responses from utility owners are delayed.
Based upon the findings, the utility owner may be required to develop a replacement plan, as determined necessary by the SAFCA and the land use agencies.
Utilities will be required to develop an inspection plan/schedule and/or a replacement plan within one (1) year of notification. All inspections shall be completed within two (2) years of notification.
Given the nature of the facilities with existing access limitations, alternative inspection methods may be required.
Any penetrations that are inspected and found to be potentially high hazard will be prioritized by SAFCA based on the level of risk and must be removed or modified and provided to the land use Technical Memorandum

agency for mitigation. All mitigation efforts must be implemented within five (5) years of the ULDC Engineer’s Report finalization. The removal or modification/permitting efforts must be completed by the penetration owner or as part of a CVFPB Enforcement Action. Non-high hazard penetrations that have exceeded their anticipated useful life should continue to be inspected every five (5) years (in compliance with ULDC section 7.13), and additional monitoring should be provided by the penetration owner. During these additional monitoring efforts, any performance issues should be reported to the appropriate land use agency as well as SAFCA, ARFCD, and the CVFPB.
Completion of the required work plan, which may include inspection, monitoring, construction, and reporting, shall be documented and transmitted to the responsible land use agency (City of Sacramento/Sacramento County) and appended to the ULDC Engineer’s Report. This supplemental information shall be retained and used for review by the land use agency during future ULDC evaluations.
2.1.5 No Associated CVFPB Permit
Exception background and assessment: In our Engineering Evaluations TM, we determined that the ANLS has four (4) penetrations for which no associated CVFPB permits were found.
These unpermitted penetrations are not inherently high-hazard penetrations; however, the lack of documentation and compliance with permitting standards require that specific analyses be conducted for each penetration to assess each individual penetration’s risk. Attachment 2 to this TM maps the location of the penetrations lacking permitting documentation.
The penetrations were identified through field investigation and review of plans, but no permits were identified. These penetrations are unlikely to pose a threat to levee integrity or reliability at a full range of loading up to the HTOL (based on available information). Three (3) of the unpermitted penetrations are located on the downstream face of the Marysville Blvd bridge at the upstream limits of the Arcade Creek South Levee, one SMUD conduit, one communication conduit, and one gas main assumed to be owned by PG&E. The other unpermitted penetration is a four (4) inch communication line through the Arcade Creek south levee immediately upstream of Rio Linda Blvd and is assumed to be owned by Century Lync.
Work plan: SAFCA (via Mead & Hunt) or ARFCD will perform initial outreach to CVFPB for a more in-depth review of files related to these penetrations. SAFCA (via Mead & Hunt) will notify utility owners of the need to provide appropriate documentation for utility land rights and permits.
If data documenting permits (or lack of permitting) are not provided within one (1) year of transmittal of the ULDC Engineer’s Report, the responsible land use agency will engage the CVFPB for enforcement. Owners will be required to obtain permits or relocate penetrations in order to comply with current CVFPB standards.
Completion of the required work plan, which may include collection of documents and reporting, shall be transmitted to the responsible land use agency (City of Sacramento/Sacramento County) Technical Memorandum

August 27, 2024
and appended to the ULDC Engineer’s Report. This supplemental information shall be retained and used for review by the land use agency during future ULDC evaluations.
2.1.6 Lack of Inspection Data
Exception background and assessment: Due to owner access issues (such as lack of access points, underwater access points, steepness of pipe limiting camera equipment mobility, small diameter pipes with no test stations, and other factors), there are numerous penetrations within the ANLS that have not met the internal inspection requirements under ULDC 7.13.6 for pipes and culverts. The ARFCD and SAFCA (via Mead & Hunt) have worked with the penetration owners to identify the inspection needs and notified them of their requirements. Most of these penetrations belong to the City, County, and other utilities (such as PG&E). The owners of these penetrations are working through their most recent cycle (every five years) of inspections/testing or are obtaining the resources to conduct the initial inspections within the following year. Due to land use and access issues, there is an anticipated delay for some of this work. Attachment No. 3 to this TM is a table summarizing penetrations requiring inspection documentation as of the date of this TM.
There are no historic issues at the locations of these penetrations and, with the exception of pipes flagged for additional scrutiny due to age in Section 2.1.4 above, the pipes are within their useful service life.
Work plan: Inspection data for ANLS penetrations that have not been received at the time of the transmittal of the Final ULDC Engineer’s Report shall be completed within the next three (3) years, or the land use agency will report this missing information to the CVFPB to request the missing information be required as part of an appropriate enforcement action.
Any penetrations inspected and found to be potentially high hazard will be prioritized by SAFCA (via Mead & Hunt) based on the level of risk and must be removed or modified. All mitigation efforts must be implemented within five (5) years of the finalization of the ULDC Engineer’s Report. The removal or modification/permitting efforts must be completed by the penetration owner or as part of a CVFPB Enforcement Action.
Completion of the required work plan, which may include collection of documents and reporting, shall be transmitted to the responsible land use agency (City of Sacramento/Sacramento County) and appended to the ULDC Engineer’s Report. This supplemental information shall be retained and used for review by the land use agency during future ULDC evaluations.

August 27, 2024
Mead & Hunt has concluded that the work plans described in Section 2.1 provide the necessary risk management of penetrations and have determined that the reliability of performance of the ANLS is unlikely to be affected for the full range of loading up to the HTOL. However, due to aging infrastructure and the period between each due diligence review, there are limitations to the conclusions included in this TM. All conclusions are based on this specific snapshot in time, assuming that proper inspection, maintenance, repair, and replacement by utility owners and enforcement of the condition requirements of the permits by the CVFPB is completed as outlined herein and in the manner described in our Due Diligence Report. Particular attention should be paid to documenting the performance and condition of penetrations that are anticipated to be at the end of their useful life.

APPENDIX C. Exception for the UPRR Stoplog Operation
Schedule
Mead & Hunt | 180 Promenade Circle, Suite 240, Sacramento, CA 95834 | 916-971-3961 | meadhunt.com Technical Memorandum

From: Stephen Sullivan, Civil Engineer of Record
Reviewed by: Nancy Moricz, Senior Project Engineer
Date: February 12, 2024
Subject: Exception for UPRR Stoplog Operation Schedule, American North Levee System SAFCA Due Diligence Review for Urban Levee Design Criteria Section 7.14 This Technical Memorandum (TM) is part of Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency’s (SAFCA) due diligence review for compliance with the California Department of Water Resources’ (DWR) Urban Levee Design Criteria (ULDC) for the American North Levee System (ANLS). This TM pertains to section 7.14 – Floodwalls, Retaining Walls, and Closure Structures.
The purpose of this TM is to explain and justify an exception to the ULDC annual testing requirement for closure structures. The City of Sacramento’s two (2) UPRR Stoplog Closure Structures within the ANLS are located at the intersection of the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) line with the Arcade Creek South Levee and the American River North Levee. The UPPR line runs parallel to and landward of the Natomas East Main Drainage Canal east levee. They are currently tested through trial erection at cycles of not more than five (5) years due to the logistical challenges of a railroad closure. The rail line is a critical transportation corridor that passes through the ANLS.
The operating parts to these facilities are steel I-beam posts and aluminum stoplogs. The components are stored at the City of Sacramento’s North Area Yard, within six (6) miles of all UPRR closure structures. The trial closures for the five UPRR crossings are all conducted during one railroad outage on a 5-year cycle. If a closure is required due to a high-water event, the trial closure schedule cycle is reset.
ULDC Section 7.14 criteria states:
Closure structures need to1 be tested at least once a year before the flood season so that crews responsible for implementing the structures are familiar with their operation and to provide assurance that all parts are present and in working order. 33 CFR 208 – Flood Protection Regulations, §208.10.f.2 states:
“Trial erections of one or more closure structures shall be made once each year…Where railroad operation makes trial erection of a closure structure infeasible, rigorous inspection and drill of operating personnel may be substituted therefor. … Closure materials will be carefully checked 1 The ULDC indicates that terms such as “must,” “shall,” “is required,” and “needs to” are criteria. These and similar terms are considered to be mandatory; if not followed, an exception is needed (following the procedure for exceptions).

prior to and following flood periods, and damaged or missing parts shall be repaired or replaced immediately.”
Mead & Hunt has worked with the City to review and improve their closure structure program and has witnessed several trial closures. A summary of our review follows.
The City stores the removable components on bound pallets and each component is uniquely marked with the stoplog structure and individual piece numbers with the position identifiers. During disassembly, the components are palleted onsite and immediately returned to storage.
The stoplog facilities are of fairly simple construction and do not require unique tools and equipment, or special training.
In preparation for each flood season the inventory is verified, and the closure sites are visited to assess the structure condition and access. The City identifies the tools and equipment needed for transport and installation, and rigorously plans for mobilization. Supplemental materials, such as tarping and sandbags are obtained.
Finally, the City has 18 closure structures within their system, many of which are stoplog type closures.
Trial erections of one or more closure structures are made each year on alternating structures for operating personnel training.
Mead & Hunt has concluded that the operational planning and testing program for the City of Sacramento’s ANLS UPRR stoplog closure structures meets the intent of the ULDC testing requirement for closure structures, based upon the following:
• The City crews are well trained and perform trial erections on at least one closure structure each year.
• The stoplog structure erection is fairly simple and requires no unique tools or equipment. • The parts are all uniquely identified and stored neatly on pallets segregated by facility. All parts are immediately palleted and placed in storage upon disassembly. • Structures are inspected and preparations are made at the start of each flood season.
The current 5-year cycle for trial operation/installation of the UPRR stoplog closure structure is sufficient and may continue going forward without anticipated impacts to the ANLS operation. Therefore, an exception to the annual testing requirement is recommended.
This conclusion applies to each of the two (2) UPRR closure structures listed in Section 1 above.

1 1.1 Purpose and Scope of Study
The Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (SAFCA) is in the process of evaluating the levees within its jurisdictional boundaries for compliance with the State of California’s Urban Levee Design Criteria (ULDC) (DWR, 2012). This report documents the analysis of wind and wave parameters which are inputs to the ULDC compliance evaluation of the American River north levee, Robla Creek south levee, Arcade Creek north and south levees, and Natomas East Main Drainage Canal (NEMDC) east levee. These levee reaches were previously analyzed (Mead & Hunt, 2015). The purpose of the current scope is not to repeat the previous analysis, but to confirm or update the previous assumptions to represent current conditions.
Part of the levee evaluation process is to provide an analysis that demonstrates no appreciable erosion of the embankment can be expected as a result of expected wind and wave action, as per Title 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 65.10(b)(3), Embankment Protection (U.S. Government Printing Office, 2022). The purpose of this wind and wave analysis is to estimate the magnitude of the effects of wind setup and wave runup with respect to freeboard and embankment protection on the levees that are under evaluation.
The wind-wave analysis relies on guidance in Determination of Wave Characteristics by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA, 2019). For parameters not specifically prescribed in the FEMA literature (e.g., design return period for wind speeds), the ULDC was used for supplemental guidance.
The calculations rely on additional publications to account for specific phenomena such as wave height reduction due to vegetation buffers and submerged breakwater-like features, where applicable.
Sites which characterize the worst-case combination of factors influencing setup and runup for a given section of levee have been selected for analysis, as summarized in Table 1. Input data have been provided by MBK, including ground surface elevations, design water surface elevations, and levee baseline alignment data (MBK, 2024). Results from the analysis are presented in Table 2.
1.2 Study Area
This study includes the following levee segments:
• American River north levee from the NEMDC upstream to Arden Way. • NEMDC east levee from the American River upstream to Robla Creek (north of Del Paso Road). • Robla Creek south levee from the NEMDC upstream to Dry Creek Road. • Arcade Creek north and south levees from the NEMDC upstream to Marysville Boulevard.
1.3 Methods of Analysis
The Automated Coastal Engineering System (ACES) Version 4.03 model within the Coastal Engineering Design and Analysis System (CEDAS) software program (Veri-Tech, 2023) and Microsoft Excel were used as the primary tools for calculating wind setup and wave runup. The ACES model contains multiple calculation modules, two of which were used for this study: the ACES “Windspeed Adjustment and Wave 2 Growth” module which predicts the height and period of waves generated over a given fetch; the ACES “Wave Runup and Overtopping on Impermeable Structures” module which predicts the magnitude of wave runup on an embankment.
To account for factors not included in the ACES model formulations (such as the angle of wave incidence or the existence of grass cover on the water-side embankment slope), spreadsheet calculations were employed to adjust the ACES-predicted wave runup values. Spreadsheet calculations were also used in the statistical analysis of wind speed values in providing one of the main model inputs.
1.4 Datums
Elevations in this report are in feet and are referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88). Horizontal coordinates are in feet and are referenced to the California Coordinate System, North American Datum of 1983, Zone II, unless otherwise noted. Data provided by others was verified to be referenced to these datums, unless otherwise noted.
2.1 Site Data
Site-specific data were provided by MBK Engineers (MBK, 2024), and included the following:
• Topographic ground surface elevation data for the study area. This is the same elevation data that is used in the HEC-RAS model to obtain the design water surface elevations. • Design water surface elevation results from 2D HEC-RAS model. The water surface elevations were used to determine the design still water elevation for each site location. • Levee alignment data with stationing.
2.2 Site Selection
Sites selected for analysis are shown in Figure 1 below. Site selection was based on maximizing the combination of fetch length and wind speed in the most critical directions, based on the levee alignment.
Optimization for the critical wind direction is based on four parameters, including fetch length (directiondependent), wind speed (direction-dependent), the angle between the fetch and wind directions, and the angle of incidence of the mean wave direction with respect to the levee alignment at the analysis site.
Table 1 below is a summary of parameters for the sites selected for analysis, along with the fetch length (see Section 2.4 below) and wind speed (see Section 3 below) determined according to the methods described in the following sections.

2.3 Wind Speed Data
Wind speed data was downloaded from the National Centers for Environmental Information1 (NCEI) for the four airports near the study area: McClellan (MCC), Mather (MHR), Sacramento Executive (SAC), and Sacramento International (SMF) Airports. An example of the downloaded data is shown in Exhibit 1.
Data were downloaded for the period of record for each airport, which varies but generally includes years from 1939 to 2023. The wind speed data represent the fastest 2-minute-average wind speed recorded during each hour.
1 https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/search/data-search/local-climatological-data 5 Wind direction is generally reported at 10-degree directional increments. Prior to 1964 at some airports, wind speeds were only reported for 16 directions (22.5-degree increments). Because wind speeds are analyzed statistically for each direction, the misalignment of reported wind directions before 1964 makes this data incompatible with data reported at 10-degree increments. Therefore, this pre-1964 data was not used in the analysis, but the remaining 59-year period is a sufficient record length to support the analysis at each airport. Peak wind speed data were summarized for each wind direction, for each year2. Years with incomplete data were excluded from the analysis, leaving a total number of analysis years of 46 for MCC, 48 for MHR, 59 for SAC, and 50 for SMF.
Wind speed is measured at each airport by anemometer. Data obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) indicates the anemometer heights at SAC and SMF are approximately 30 feet above ground (NOAA, 2023). Anemometer heights could not be confirmed for MHR and MCC but are assumed to be similar for the purposes of this study. Height correction factors were utilized when estimating the geostrophic wind velocities within the ACES model.
Wind speed data was analyzed to ensure appropriate wind speeds were used to predict wave generation.
Estimation of design wind velocities for National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) levee system evaluation using deterministic methods should be based on a conservative approach in using the data.
FEMA does not prescribe a method of analysis for determination of design wind velocities, but rather defers to the recommendations provided by other federal agencies. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) provides the following guidance (USACE, 2010, p. 18):
“…identify the maximum wind conditions that can occur for several hours along different fetches in front of the levee. Determination of the maximum wind conditions might require examination of winds that occurred during discrete storm events considered in the stage-frequency analysis or of wind conditions that occur during seasons in which extreme water levels occur.” In accordance with this guidance, the wind speed data has been examined closely with respect to high outliers in the data which do not represent maximum wind conditions occurring for several hours.
Examples of corrected outliers and non-outliers are shown in Exhibit 2.
2.4 Fetch Length and Critical Wind
For riverine locations, wind-wave generation is impacted by the shape of the fetch. The restricted fetch methodology accounts for the specific geometry of the fetch, as well as the potential for waves developed in off-wind directions, to determine the maximum possible wave conditions. Because of the limiting geometry of the study area, the restricted fetch approach was used for this analysis. Restricted fetch geometry and conventions are illustrated in Figure 2 and Figure 3 below3 (examples only, not the actual site).
2 Wind speeds typically peak in the fall in this area, which is why wind speeds are summarized by calendar year, not water year. 3 Reference: Figure I-1-2 and Figure I-1-3 of the ACES Technical Reference (USACE, 1992) 6 FIGURE 2. RESTRICTED FETCH GEOMETRY
FIGURE 3. RESTRICTED FETCH CONVENTIONS
Fetch lengths were determined for each 10-degree increment from each site (with an origin at zero degrees north) in ESRI ArcGIS Pro (ESRI, 2023) based on the design water surface elevation and ground surface elevation data. Wind speed data is reported at each 10-degree interval beginning with zero degrees north.

7 wind are different, so a preliminary evaluation was performed at each site to determine the wind speed/direction which would produce the maximum wave height for a given fetch direction. The computed wave height is approximately a function of the fetch-parallel component of the wind speed and the square root of the fetch length. Given wind speeds and fetch lengths determined for each incremental 10-degree direction, the fetch lengths at 1-degree increments were interpolated and averaged over 15-degree arcs for each 1-degree direction.
Because the longest fetches for some sites may be more parallel than perpendicular to the levee alignment, and because wave runup is reduced for large angles between the wave direction and slopeperpendicular direction (see Section 6.4.3 below), an additional term is added to the fetch optimization function used by ACES. The maximum value from the following equation was computed for each wind/fetch direction combination using Microsoft Excel to estimate the critical wind velocity to be used for analysis:
.cos ϕ
.
1 − 0.002222 ∗
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) where:
U = wind speed for a given direction
Φ = off-fetch wind direction angle (-80° < Φ < +80°)
β = angle of wave incidence (degrees)
The optimal wind velocity determined by the above method was used to calculate wave growth using the restricted fetch approach in ACES. The ACES model computes interpolated fetch lengths at 1-degree increments, and then averages the fetch lengths over 15-degree arcs for each 1-degree direction. Given a critical wind direction, the direction of maximum wave development (centered on the critical 15-degree arc) is determined by maximizing the result of the following equation (USACE, 1992):
.cos ϕ
.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2) where:
Fφ = interpolated averaged fetch length for a 15-degree arc (miles) φ = off-wind direction angle (deg)
This procedure maximizes the relevant terms in the expression for wave period (Tp).
Wind speed data were analyzed to determine appropriate design wind speeds for wave growth prediction, as described below.
3.1 Stationarity and Detrending
Historical trends of peak annual wind speeds were investigated for stationarity using the KolmogorovSmirnov (K-S) test to compare the distributions of average (across all directions) peak annual wind speeds between the first half and last half of record years for each airport. For example, SAC had 59 complete record years from 1964 to 2022. The first 30 years and last 29 years of average peak annual 8 wind speed values were each ranked, and stepwise cumulative distribution functions (CDF) calculated.
The maximum difference between the CDFs for any given wind speed was determined, and this value was compared to the critical K-S test value for various significance levels. If the maximum difference between the CDFs exceeds the test value, then the null hypothesis is rejected, meaning that the samples come from different populations with the corresponding significance level (i.e., there is a historical trend between the first and last half of the period of record). For the airports analyzed, the null hypothesis was rejected with a significance level of 99% for MCC and SMF, 97% at MHR, and 95% at SAC. Because trends were detected with a high significance level at each airport, the data was detrended to the year 2023 based on the linear trendline slope of the average values analyzed. This procedure was tested for both mean and median values, and the average type with the higher trendline correlation at each airport was used for detrending the data. The stationarity and detrending calculations for each airport are shown in Exhibit 3.
3.2 Return Period
Neither FEMA nor USACE prescribe a particular return period for the design wind speed to be used in a deterministic analysis of wind setup and wave runup for NFIP levee system evaluation. FEMA guidance for determining criteria for selection of design wind speeds in combination with a design still water event is vague. In the FEMA publication on this topic (FEMA, 2019), an example is discussed which includes evaluation of wind speed data from three stations:
“The maximum wind speeds ranged from 61 mph … to 39 mph … with an average maximum for all three stations of approximately 47 mph … a 45-mph wind speed was selected for input to the restricted fetch calculation.”
Apart from the apparent neglect of directionality, this example gives no criteria for the selection of the final wind speed used for the calculation, which was significantly lower than the maximum value.
The ULDC produced by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) gives specific guidance on the return period for wind speeds to be used for setup and runup computations (DWR, 2012, pp. 7–40):
“The wind speed to be used is that which has a 50 percent probability of not being exceeded in any 50-year design period. This criterion yields a design wind speed with a return period of 72.6 years, or annual probability of 0.0138.”
The design wind speeds were determined using a return-period approach as recommended by DWR’s ULDC. A frequency analysis was performed to estimate the 72.6-year wind speed for each wind direction using the statistical procedure described below.
9 3.3 Analysis Procedure
For each wind direction (in 10-degree increments), the 72.6-year wind speed was estimated assuming the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution, which has the following cumulative distribution function:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (6) For each wind direction, the peak annual 2-minute-duration wind speeds (U) were ordered, and the probability of non-exceedance F(y) was calculated for each value of U using Equation 5 above. The reduced variate (y) was computed for each value of U using Equation 6 above using an assumed value for the shape parameter, k. The location (μ) and scale (σ) parameters were estimated based on a best-fit calculation of U as a function of y using Equations 7 and 8 below:

3.4 Results
72.6-year wind speeds were calculated for each wind direction from the regression equations, and the results at each airport are given in Exhibit 4. The wind speeds are illustrated as a wind rose, which shows the design 72.6-year wind speeds for each direction at 10-degree increments. For each direction, the design wind speeds were interpolated to each analysis site using an inverse-distance-weighted average.
Due to this spatial interpolation, some smoothing will occur whereby the wind speeds used for analysis at each site will represent neither the highest nor lowest speeds from any given airport, but a weighted average. To quantify this smoothing effect, the K-S test was used to evaluate the statistical significance of wind speed differences (for all wind directions) due to smoothing resulting from distance-weighted averaging of airport data to the locations of the analysis sites. The result was that the null hypothesis could not be rejected at the 30% significance level. Therefore, the population distributions of average airport wind speeds are assumed to be equal to the population distributions of average analysis site wind speeds for the purposes of the analysis. These calculations are also shown in Exhibit 4.
For each selected site, wind speed adjustment and wave growth were calculated using the “Wind Speed Adjustment and Wave Growth” module as part of the CEDAS-ACES Version 4.03 software (Veri-Tech, 2023).
4.1 Wind Speed Adjustment
The wind speed observations at the anemometer locations are not directly relevant to wave height 11 predictions at the analysis locations due to the effects of surface roughness and wind speed gradients with respect to height above ground within the immediate vicinity of the anemometer. Maximum wind speed observations listed in Table 1 must be adjusted to estimate the appropriate wind stress at a given site. The ACES model calculates wind speed adjustments based on the following variables:
• Height of anemometer above ground and duration of observed wind • Duration of final wind
• Air-water temperature difference – neglected for the relatively short fetches in this analysis4 • Latitude of wind observation – accounts for the Coriolis effect of the Earth’s rotation on geostrophic wind patterns
• Location of wind observation – inland, over-water, shore, or geostrophic Wind speed adjustment in the ACES model is based on an idealized model of the planetary boundary layer, consisting of the constant stress region (10-60 m above water surface), the Ekman region (to 1,000 m above water surface), and the geostrophic region (more than 1,000 m above water surface). For inland wind observations, such as those collected at airports, the model initially estimates the geostrophic wind from the low-level observations, followed by solving a series of equations describing the constant stress region and the entire planetary boundary layer to determine the equilibrium neutral wind speed (Ue) at 10 m above the water surface. Next, the model adjusts for increased stability conditions for fetch lengths shorter than 16 km using a factor of 0.9Ue. Finally, the model adjusts the wind speed to account for the duration of interest for a particular fetch length. The duration of wind used for evaluation is important because the observed wind speed is adjusted by empirical factors to obtain the wind speed at the specified duration, which has a significant impact on the computed wave height. The ratio of wind speed of any duration (Ut) to the 1-hour wind speed (U3600) is described as follows in Equations 12 and 135:
For t < 3,600 sec:
27 289 = 1.277 + 0.296 tanhA0.9 log45 F ⁄ ⁄
H G
----------------------------------------------------------------------- (12) For 3,600 sec < t < 36,000 sec:
27 289 = 1.5334 − 0.15 log F ⁄ G ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (13) First the 1-hour wind speed (U3600) is determined (ti = tobs), and then the wind speed at the specified duration (Ut) is calculated.
4.2 Wave Growth
The “Restricted” fetch options in ACES were used to calculate wave growth because, unlike coastal wave analysis, the analysis locations feature irregularly shaped fetches.
Wave growth for a given fetch is either duration-limited or fetch-limited. Duration-limited growth means that the given wind duration is not sufficiently long for the maximum wave heights to develop across the 4 USACE, 2002, Paragraph II 2 1.i.(3)(d), p. II 2 36
5 Reference: Figure II-2-1 in the Coastal Engineering Manual (USACE, 2002) 12 given fetch. Fetch-limited growth means that the waves are fully developed with respect to wind duration and speed, but the length of the fetch limits wave growth. For shorter durations, the maximum wave height may not be achieved along the given fetch. Conversely, longer durations will produce higher waves. The duration can easily be adjusted within ACES, so various durations were examined to determine the wind duration and corresponding speed that would produce the largest waves for a given fetch. The minimum duration required for a wave field to become fetch-limited is estimated using Equation 14 below6

H = wave height determined by duration- or fetch-limited expressions (feet) T = wave period determined by duration- or fetch-limited expressions (sec) ti = wind duration used in duration-limited expressions The wave height and period computed with either the duration- or fetch-limited equations are then compared to the expressions for a fully developed equilibrium spectrum to ensure that the fully developed conditions are not exceeded (USACE, 1984a):

Shallow water approaching the levee slope for a significant distance will act to limit wave growth by energy dissipation through wave refraction and shoaling, bottom friction, and percolation. Shallow-water conditions will prevail if the depth of water approaching the levee slope is less than one-half the deepwater wavelength (USACE, 1984b, p. 10). The deepwater wavelength is calculated as follows in Equation 21 (USACE, 1984b, p. 9):
^_ = 5.12Z
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (21) where:
Lo = Deepwater wavelength (feet)
T = Period corresponding to the frequency of the peak energy density of the wave spectrum (sec)
If a fetch is sufficiently deep, the bottom friction and percolation effects are negligible to the wave growth calculation, and the “Deep Restricted” fetch option was used. If a fetch is sufficiently shallow compared to the deepwater wavelength, bottom friction and percolation are significant in limiting wave growth, and the “Shallow Restricted” fetch option was used. When the “Shallow Restricted” fetch option was used, an independent check was made to ensure that the duration-limited wave height and period were greater than or equal to those computed with the software, because ACES does not check for duration-limited conditions automatically when using the “Shallow Restricted” fetch option (USACE, 1992).
For Sites 2, 3, and 17, the “Shallow Restricted” fetch option was used. The average fetch depth for these sites ranged from 3.6 to 6.8 feet. All other sites used the “Deep Restricted” fetch option.
4.3 ACES Input and Output
Required input for the ACES “Windspeed Adjustment and Wave Growth” module is as follows:
• elevation of observed wind (30 feet standard)
• observed wind speed (mph)
• air-water temperature difference (0°F assumed)
• duration of observed wind (2 minutes for the data downloaded) • duration of final wind (varies by site, adjusted to obtain fully developed wave conditions) • latitude of wind observation (38.7 degrees)
• wind observation type (“Inland”)
14 • wind fetch option (“Deep Restricted” or “Shallow Restricted”) • wind direction (degrees, clockwise from zero degrees north) • average depth of fetch (feet)
• direction of first radial fetch (degrees, clockwise from zero degrees north) • radial fetch angle increment (degrees)
• number of fetch angles
• fetch length (miles, for each fetch angle)
Output from the ACES “Wind Speed Adjustment and Wave Growth” module is as follows:
• wind fetch length (miles)
• equilibrium neutral wind speed (mph)
• adjusted wind speed (mph)
• mean wave direction (degrees, clockwise from zero degrees north) • wave height, Hmo (feet)
• wave period, Tp (sec)
4.4 Wave Height Correction
The wave height was corrected to account for factors not included in the ACES formulas, including submerged breakwater features and vegetation buffers, as described below.
4.4.1 Correction for Submerged Breakwater
Some fetches contain linear features such as road embankments which would be inundated during the design still water event and consequently would act as submerged breakwaters.
Breakwaters transmit a portion of the incoming wave energy, as a function of the still water depth over the structure and the incoming wave height (USACE, 2002, pp. II-7-22, Figure II-7-19). In the case of rubble mound breakwaters (typical for coastal breakwaters specifically constructed for this purpose), a portion of the wave energy may also be transmitted through the porous structure.
There can be a spectral shift toward higher frequencies in the transmitted wave energy, but this requires more detailed observed wave data to quantify. For this analysis, breakwaters are assumed to be impermeable, and the period of the transmitted significant wave is assumed to be equal to that of the incoming.
Submerged linear breakwater features were identified within the critical fetches for Sites 16, 17, and 19. Transmission coefficients (ratio of transmitted to incoming wave height) for these sites were 0.68, 0.63, and 0.95, respectively.
4.4.2 Correction for Vegetation Buffer
As waves pass through vegetated areas, energy is dissipated by drag (friction) and inertial (momentum) forces as moving water separates to flow around trunks and branches and converges on the other side. Assuming regular, linear (Airy theory) waves and rigid full-depth vegetation, the rate of energy dissipation can be calculated based on assumed inertia (CM) and drag (CD) hydrodynamic force coefficients. Inputs for this calculation include the fluid properties, 15 incident wave height (Hi) and period (T ), still water depth (ds), width of vegetation buffer in direction of wave travel (W ), and average vegetation diameter (D ) and density (Nt).

Dfetch = wave energy dissipation rate per tree (foot·lbs/sec) Nt = vegetation buffer density, trees per unit bottom surface area (ft-2) w = vegetation buffer width segment (feet)
W = total vegetation buffer width (feet)
For any sites with an applicable vegetation buffer, the inertial force, drag force, and water particle horizontal speed equations were first solved using spreadsheet calculations at 50 discrete intervals on both the time and depth axes, from t = 0 to T and from z = 0 to d. The energy dissipation rate was then determined by summing the inertial and drag forces and multiplying by 16 the average water particle horizontal speed across each interval, summing the result for each interval along both time and depth axes, multiplying by the vegetation density and buffer width segment, and dividing by the wave period. This procedure was calculated for a single segment of vegetation buffer width, equal to W / 100. The reduced wave height was determined at the end of the buffer width segment, and this became the new incident wave height for the next buffer width segment. As the wave energy is dissipated along the fetch direction through the buffer width, the average rate of energy dissipation also decreases. This procedure does not account for any shift in peak spectral wave period which may occur because of the energy dissipation.
The assumed inertia coefficient may range from 1.5 to 2, depending on the average Reynolds number for a site. The Shore Protection Manual summarizes inertia coefficients that may be applicable for various ranges of Reynolds number, beginning at 2 for Re < 2.5 x 105 and decreasing slightly for higher values (USACE, 1984a). Sites with lower average Reynolds numbers based on predominantly smaller-stemmed vegetation (Willows) would use an inertia coefficient of 2. Sites with much larger, mature woody vegetation and corresponding higher average Reynolds numbers would use an inertia coefficient of 1.5.
The assumed drag coefficient was 0.3 for all sites. The theoretical drag coefficient for an isolated vertical cylinder may be approximately 1.2 but can vary significantly. As summarized in the Beach Lake Levee Wind-Wave Buffer Report, and the Shore Protection Manual, the drag coefficient decreases with increasing Reynolds number and Keulegan-Carpenter number KC and may be as low as 0.3 for Re = 7,000 and KC = 80 (Poindexter, Cristina et al, 2018). Where the computed values of Re and KC are approximately on this order or higher, a drag coefficient of 0.3 was conservatively chosen.
Some sites in the study area may have riparian vegetation that would decrease wave heights, but based on the results it was not necessary to account for this reduction and no reduction was included in the calculations.
The setup and setdown are the positive and negative changes in mean water level due to wind shear and a train of surface waves. Setup is the portion of the water level rise above still water level near the downwind shoreline produced by wind-wave mechanics that is not directly due to the undulation of the waves. It is produced by a net volume transport resulting from wind shear and non-linear wave properties.
Wind-wave setup acts to increase the total maximum elevation of wave runup on a structure, sometimes increasing substantially. Setdown is the corresponding lowering of the water level which occurs away from the shoreline, which is an irrelevant phenomenon for the purposes of this study. Setdown could be considered for rapid drawdown stability analysis (by others, not part of this report) in some cases, but in the study area the setup values are small (0.01 to 0.28 feet), so it is not likely a critical design case.
5.1 Wind Setup
The concepts of wind setup, wind setdown, and wave runup are illustrated on Exhibit 5. Wind setup is 17 calculated using Equation 26 below7:
=
.)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (26) where:
S = Wind setup relative to the static water level (feet) U = Wind speed over water and at 33 feet above the water surface (mph) F = Wind fetch (miles)
D = Average water depth along fetch line (feet)
If an enclosed water body converges to a narrower width in the downwind direction, the effects of wind setup can be magnified, but this effect is not relevant for the terrain in the study area.
If the waves approach the structure at an oblique angle, the wind setup is a function of the cosine of the angle of approach, with the remaining energy producing a longshore current. Therefore, wind setup is minimized for waves approaching a structure at a large oblique angle. For the purposes of this analysis, no adjustments were made to wind setup to account for the wave approach angle because this is not a large open or coastal water body (therefore longshore currents would be subdued) and because it is appropriately conservative to neglect this adjustment for the small computed values of wind setup at the study sites. Therefore, no angle of approach reduction was assumed for purposes of wind setup calculation.
The wind setup for the sites analyzed ranged from 0.01 feet (Site 9) to 0.28 feet (Site 2).
5.2 Wave Setup and Setdown
Wave setup and setdown (different than wind setup and setdown) are the changes in the mean water level caused by wave action alone. Wave setup need not be computed separately from wave runup in most cases because the empirical methods used to predict wave runup typically use measurements taken in reference to the offshore still water level and already include the effects of wave setup in the prediction of wave runup. However, when wave growth occurs in deep water and waves are refracted to shallow water at a significant distance in front of the structure, the wave setup occurs independently of the predicted runup and should therefore be accounted for separately8. No such sites were identified in this analysis. Wave setdown is irrelevant for the purposes of this study because it occurs near the point of wave breaking, away from the shoreline.
For each selected site, wave runup was calculated using a combination of CEDAS-ACES Version 4.03 7 Reference: Equation 8 from Freeboard Criteria and Guidelines for Computing Freeboard Allowances for Storage Dams by the U.S.
Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (USBR, 1981, p. 43), which is the same as Formula 15-1 from EM 1110-2-1420 Hydrologic Engineering Requirements for Reservoirs (USACE, 1997) and has been reproduced from Equation 3-1 of EM 1110-2-1414 Water Levels and Wave Heights for Coastal Engineering Design (USACE, 1989). 8 (USACE, 1984a), Paragraph 3.VIII.5, pp. 3-99 to 3-101 18 and Excel spreadsheet calculations.
6.1 Runup for Significant Wave
The ACES “Wave Runup and Overtopping on Impermeable Structures” module was used to determine the runup associated with the significant wave. Important assumptions built into the ACES wave runup calculations are as follows (USACE, 1992):
• Waves are normally incident to the structure and are unbroken in the vicinity of the structure toe. • Waves are specified at the structure location.
• Structures are impermeable with simple plane slopes.
• Expressions for computing runup have generally been determined by empirical curve fitting procedures and therefore do not formally represent “best fit” curves derived by statistical procedures.
• An “irregular” wave type is assumed because “monochromatic” or “regular” wave types are not common in nature. Sea waves during storms are always irregular and short-crested (USACE, 2002, Part II, Chapter 1).
• Irregular wave conditions are characterized by significant wave height, Hs. • Runup values caused by an irregular sea will follow a Rayleigh distribution.
For structures with protective embankment protection (e.g. riprap, rubble), the empirical method presented by Ahrens and McCartney is used by ACES to predict the wave runup as a function of the surfsimilarity parameter or Iribarren number (ξ ) (Ahrens & McCartney, Wave Period Effect on the Stability of Riprap, 1975). No such structures exist in this analysis. 0 = UG

For structures with smooth slopes (e.g. grass, bare earth), the following method recommended by Ahrens and Titus was used by ACES to predict the wave runup as a function of the surf-similarity parameter using a different definition of the coefficient (C ) for three types of wave conditions (Ahrens & Titus, 1985):

6.2 ACES Input and Output
Required input for the ACES “Wave Runup and Overtopping on Impermeable Structures” module is as follows:
• wave type (“irregular”)
• slope type (“smooth” or “rough”)
• breaking criteria, k=0.78 (ratio of wave height to depth at which waves break) • incident significant wave height, Hs (feet)
• peak wave period, Tp (sec)
• cotangent of nearshore slope
• water depth at structure toe, ds (feet)

• angle of wave incidence, β (deg)
• onshore wind velocity, U (ft/sec)
• overtopping coefficients, α and Q*o from Figures 7-25 through 7-28 and 7-34 of the Shore Protection Manual (USACE, 1984a)
Output from the ACES “Wave Runup and Overtopping on Impermeable Structures” module is as follows:
• significant wave runup, Rs (feet)
• deepwater significant wave height, Ho (feet)
• relative height, ds/Ho
• wave steepness, Ho/gT2
• overtopping rate, Q (cfs per foot)
6.3 Runup for 2% Exceedance Wave
Code of Federal Regulations title 44 CFR 65.10(b)(3) (U.S. Government Printing Office, 2022) requires an 20 engineering analysis that demonstrates no appreciable erosion of the embankment can be expected during the base flood due to wave action. Embankments designed with adequate freeboard to contain the runup for the 2% exceedance wave (wave runup which is exceeded by 2% of waves on average) typically experience overtopping rates of approximately 0.001 cfs/foot for typical riverine wave growth conditions on embankments with consistent waterside and landside slopes (USACE, 2010). An overtopping rate of
0.001 cfs/foot is equivalent to 0.6 cups of water over the embankment every 5 seconds per foot of length.
Even for an embankment consisting of silts or silty/fine sands with no protective covering, no damage is expected due to extremely small overtopping rates of this magnitude (USACE, 2010). Therefore, the 2% exceedance runup was used as the design basis for embankment freeboard assessment.
Runup for the 2% exceedance wave was determined by multiplying the significant wave runup computed using ACES by a factor of 1.40 (USACE, 1984b, pp. 11, Table 1).
6.4 Runup Correction
The wave runup was corrected to account for factors not included in the ACES formulas, including embankment cover material and angle of wave incidence on the structure, as described below.
6.4.1 Correction for Berm
If there is a waterside berm on the embankment with average water depth less than U¢√2, then some reduction in wave runup will occur due to wave breaking over the berm. The wave runup reduction is calculated using Equations VI-5-7 through VI-5-9 of the Coastal Engineering Manual (USACE, 2002).
No sites with shallow waterside berms were identified in this study.
6.4.2 Correction for Surface Roughness
For the proposed embankment cover materials, the 2% exceedance runup was adjusted in the spreadsheet calculations by applying an assumed factor of 0.90, which represents short grass cover, based on the surface roughness reduction factors listed in Table VI-5-3 of the Coastal Engineering Manual (USACE, 2002). Areas covered with cobble would have a lower factor (0.55 – 0.60). Over time, the roughness of an embankment surface can increase, and a greater reduction in runup can be assumed for existing embankments without uniform, short grass cover.
The reduction factor used for this study is conservatively based on a newly constructed embankment with recently established grass cover and no significant overgrowth. Note that the coefficient used by USACE for the Natomas levee project was 0.66, Mead & Hunt previously used 0.75 and 0.6 for normal and hog vegetation, respectively for the Natomas levee project, and GEI used 0.5 for the Feather River and Bear River levees.
6.4.3 Correction for Angle of Wave Incidence
The 2% exceedance runup was adjusted to account for oblique angle of wave incidence on the structure, assuming short-crested waves, according to Figure VI-5-10 of the Coastal Engineering Manual (USACE, 2002).
21 ¤¥ = 1 − 0.0022 .......................................................................................................................... (34) where:
γβ = Angle of Mean Wave Incidence Adjustment Factor
7.1 Acceptance Criteria
The design still water elevation for this study is the computed 200-year water surface. The design top of levee elevation is typically a minimum of three feet above the computed 200-year water surface elevation.
If necessary, the design must include additional freeboard to prevent excessive wave overtopping that could result in erosion of the embankment. As described above, the 2% exceedance runup was used as the basis for freeboard evaluation. If the freeboard required to contain the design wave conditions (wind setup plus 2% exceedance wave runup) is determined to be greater than the available freeboard, then either the design top of levee must be increased to provide the required freeboard, or an overtopping rate calculation must be performed to assess the risk of embankment erosion under design wave conditions.
Additionally, the interior drainage system must be assessed to determine satisfactory drainage to handle any predicted overtopping flows. Land-side levee erosion protection may also be required for higher rates of overtopping.
7.2 Overtopping Rate
If the design wave conditions (wind setup plus 2% exceedance wave runup) at a site are determined to overtop the levee, an overtopping rate calculation is performed in accordance with the guidance provided in the ACES Technical Reference, Section 5-2 (USACE, 1992). Spreadsheet calculations are used to adjust for the onshore wind speed and angle. Overtopping coefficients (α and Qo*) are estimated from Figures 7-25 through 7-28 and 7-34 of the Shore Protection Manual (USACE, 1984a). For exceedance probabilities between 0.001 and 0.999, in increments of 0.001, the wave runup, wind correction, and overtopping rate are determined. The average overtopping rate is then computed by summing the overtopping rate for each exceedance probability and dividing by the total number of probability values considered (999).
No overtopping locations were identified in this study.
Wind and wave setup and runup were computed for the design water surface elevations. The wind setup plus wave runup was equal to or less than 3 feet for all analysis sites. The results of the wind and wave analysis are presented in Table 2 below.

Subject: Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) Stoplog Installation and Del Paso Floodgate Closure Large portions of the City are surrounded by levees, which protect the community from flooding by the Sacramento River, American River, and smaller tributaries. These levees include “primary levees” and “secondary levees.” Both the primary and secondary levees in Sacramento are intersected by road and railroad transportation corridor crossings that are fitted with closure structures (floodgates).
These floodgates are a crucial part of the City’s flood management system as they allow vital road and railroad facilities to operate continuously. The City’s Department of Public Works maintains and operates most floodgates in the flood protection system that protects the City.
In 2017 Mead & Hunt was contracted by the City to perform field inspection of operations, condition assessment, and structural analysis for each floodgate. The Floodgate Assessment Report, submitted in June of 2018 details the findings of the study and recommends improvements to the floodgates and their operations where needed. One recommendation was operating floodgates on primary levees every three years and those on secondary levees every five years (or substituted with drills where trial operations are infeasible).
This memo details our observation of the installation of the UPRR stop logs and operation of the Del Paso Floodgate on December 1, 2021. These activities were observed by Thomas Darlington, ME and Stephen Sullivan, CE.
Facilities Observed
On December 1, 2021, the City conducted a trial installation exercise and training of the stoplog structures at five UPRR sites within the North Sacramento flood protection area and the closure of the Del Paso Boulevard Floodgate. Thomas Darlington and Steve Sullivan of Mead & Hunt were asked to observe the exercise.
The sites observed were:
• UPRR Crossing at Dry Creek North Levee (Site 0)
• UPRR Crossing at Robla Creek South Levee (Site 1)
• UPRR Crossing at Arcade Creek North Levee (Site 2)
• UPRR Crossing at Arcade Creek South Levee (Site 3)
• UPRR Crossing at American River North Levee (Site 4)
