BUILDING STRONG®And Taking Care Of People!
Reporter Richard Ellis dips his hand in the Cuyahoga River on a boat trip in the 1960s
21
August 1, 1969“No Visible Life. Some river!
Chocolate-brown, oily, bubbling with subsurface gases, it oozes rather than flows. "Anyone who falls into the Cuyahoga does not drown,"
Cleveland's citizens joke grimly. "He decays." The Federal Water
Pollution Control Administration dryly notes: "The lower Cuyahoga
has no visible life, not even low forms such as leeches and sludge
worms that usually thrive on wastes." It is also—literally —a fire
hazard.”

RGP 63 Definition of Emergency
An “emergency situation” is present where there is a clear,
sudden, unexpected, and imminent threat to
life or property demanding immediate action to prevent or mitigate
loss of, or damage to, life, health, property or essential public
services (i.e., a situation that could potentially result in an
unacceptable hazard to life or a significant loss of property if
corrective action requiring a permit is not undertaken immediately).

Need for Solutions for Rawhide Wash
• Largest Flood Hazard in Study Area
• High risks to people and properties
• Feasible solutions that could:• Mitigate the hazards• Reduce the risks• Benefits > Costs

Rawhide Wash Hazards: Wash is Unpredictable
![Page 61: Final Presentation - Alluvial Fan Floodplains_maxcomp](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022052705/587b1ed61a28ab736c8b61e7/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Rawhide Wash Flood Hazards
• High Flows (9600 cfs)
• Active Alluvial Fan o Flow paths can change
o High uncertainty
o Structural solution is required to:
- Mitigate the flood hazard
- Revise the floodplain maps (FEMA)

Why is Rawhide Wash Hazardous?Active Alluvial Fan = Wash is Unpredictable
![Page 63: Final Presentation - Alluvial Fan Floodplains_maxcomp](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022052705/587b1ed61a28ab736c8b61e7/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Rawhide Wash: Floodplain & Regulatory Aspects
1. Flood insurance required (mortgaged houses)
• Approximately 4,000 properties in floodplain
• Flood insurance premiums
o Annually $1.6 Million
o Over 50-year period estimate $155 Million
2. Development requirements
• Elevate houses
• Construct infrastructure to address Rawhide Wash flows
![Page 64: Final Presentation - Alluvial Fan Floodplains_maxcomp](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022052705/587b1ed61a28ab736c8b61e7/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
1. Mitigate the Alluvial Fan Flood Hazard• Ensure flow path certainty
• Control sediment
2. Reduce the floodplain• Revise from AO to AE
• Removes >2,000 acres from the floodplain
3. Facilitate Economic Development• More land to develop
• Less expensive to develop

No Action Alternative
• Accept the risk
• 4,000 properties remain in floodplain
• High costs to Future and Existing Property Owners
– Flood Damages
– Flood Insurance
– Development Costs
![Page 66: Final Presentation - Alluvial Fan Floodplains_maxcomp](https://reader033.fdocument.pub/reader033/viewer/2022052705/587b1ed61a28ab736c8b61e7/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
NO ACTION• 6500 acres/4000 properties
remain in floodplain
• 500 structures at high potential flood risk
• High costs to Property Owners
– Flood Insurance
– Existing & Future
– Development Costs
• Cost Estimate: $224 Million

BUILD• Build structures to reduce the risk
& size of floodplain
– Addresses uncertainty
– Levee, floodwalls, basin, and grade control structures
– Floodplain would be remapped to remove floodplain for about 3,400 properties/3000 acres
• Moderate costs
– Cities & County
– Future Developers

Basin to Reduce Flow
• Considering two potential general locations
• Offline basino Low or frequent flows
remain in wash to sustain vegetation
o Flood flows go into basin

Basin to Reduce Flow
• Flows would be less than the current peak discharge of 9,600 cfs
• Flows contained between levees and floodwallso Fewer levees may be
neededo Fewer walls may need to
be reconstructed
