3. Consider the following situation and answer the subsequent questions to the best of your engineering ability and judgment. a. There are two Schultz Creek watersheds, East and West. The East drains into unincorporated communities east of Flagstaff, and the West drains into the City of Flagstaff itself. The key point about ‘unincorporated’ is that this means these residents did not live in a city or town, and for some infrastructure aspects like storm drainage, there were no requirements or regulations. Prior to 2010 both of these watersheds were heavily forested and due to almost a hundred years of fire suppression instead of fire management, both watersheds had accumulated thick, water-absorbing masses of pine needles and decomposed pine needles on the forest floor. This prevented the watersheds from ‘delivering’ runoff to its streams in normal years because all of the precipitation was stored in the pine needle layers, sometimes referred to as ‘duff’. Only in heavy snow and rain years, about once every 5-7 years, would the streams flow, instead of every one or two years. i. The East Schultz Creek Watershed is approximately 14 square miles in area. The West is about 6 square miles in area. Assume that the following hydrologic soil group percentages hold for both watersheds prior to 2010: 5% HSG D, 8% HSG C, 15% HSG B, and the rest is HSG A, due to the extensive duff in the watershed.

A vertical curve has an incoming grade of -3.2% and the exit grade is +2.2%. The length of the curve is 800 ft. The stationing and elevation at the point of intersection of the grades are 73+22 and 1842.35 ft.
Compute the curve and determine elevations on the curve at the +00 points. Then determine the elevation of the curve at the low point. If a sewer pipe is to pass underneath at the lowest point, what elevation should the top of the pipe be located at if the required amount of cover below the driving surface is 4.50 ft?

You are a PE working in the field with your surveying crewing laying out the foundation for an office building. The landowner comes by and asks you to survey the boundaries of the property, since “you are already out here, and I’m paying for it.” What should your response be? What do you need to consider?

A lined canal (n = 0.016) is designed to carry a flow rate of 33 m3/s. The canal is laid at a slope of 14 cm/km with a side slope of 2:1. Design the canal cross section (the water depth and bed width) according to each of the following scenario:
If Velocity is 1.0 m/s
If the Most efficient hydraulic section (i.e., when Rh=y/2)
If Width/depth =5
Comment on the practicality of the designs (Height of side slope, flow
velocity, variability of depth under reduced flows, land area for the canal).
