1.0 Introduction This hydraulic report is being prepared for the Marquette County Road Commission concerning the proposed County Road 595 crossing of the Middle Branch Escanaba River. The site is located in Section 2 of T47N, R29W, Quad Map Name – Champion (Lat.46.50219305/Long, -87.89799017) in Humboldt Township, Marquette County. Multiple road alignments were investigated and the chosen alignment requires that a new bridge be constructed over the river at this site. There is no existing bridge at the site.
2.0 Method of Analysis The hydraulic analysis was performed using the “HEC-RAS River Analysis System” computer program, Version 3.1.1 developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Hydraulic Engineering Center. The steady flow data for the flood events were obtained from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ). The 200-year flow event was modeled in order to assure that the low chord of the bridge would have some clearance during an extreme flood event.
3.0 Variables and Coefficients The river sections near the bridge use an expansion coefficient of 0.30 and contraction coefficient of 0.50 which are suitable for a typical bridge per Table 3.3 of the HEC-RAS Hydraulic Reference Manual. The Manning’s n-values for friction loss were selected using Table 3.1 of the HEC-RAS Hydraulic Reference Manual. The main channel is fairly uniform with some weeds so a value of 0.035 was chosen. The overbank areas are swampy areas covered with high grass and heavy brush so a value of 0.100 was chosen. Representative photographs of the site are included in Appendix H.
4.0 Starting Point The starting point of the analysis was a surveyed river section about 380 feet downstream of the proposed road. This location was chosen because it was far enough downstream to be outside of the influence of the proposed bridge. The starting water surface elevation was calculated by HEC-RAS using the slope-conveyance method. An average channel slope of 0.00057 was estimated from a USGS quadrangle map and used for the normal depth boundary condition. The calculations are included in Appendix I.
5.0 Discussion The main channel of the Middle Branch Escanaba River is well defined and conveys 50% of the flow up to the 10-year flood event. At the 100-year flood event, 60% to 70% of the flow is carried by the overbank floodplain. The river gradient is quite flat and the flow regime is sub-critical for all flood events.
There is no existing bridge structure at the proposed river crossing, but the channel is restricted by the remains of an old road which was used to ford the river. The HEC-RAS section at river station 280 in the existing plan was surveyed at the crown of this old road. Since it is planned to remove the old road during the construction of the proposed bridge, the HEC-RAS river sections at the bridge were modified to the final (deeper) channel configuration. Because of the larger available flow area, the water velocity at the proposed bridge for the 10-year flow is reduced when compared to the existing condition. The water velocities for the existing and proposed conditions are shown in the Table 1.

The proposed bridge is a pre-cast concrete beam structure with a span of 60 feet. The box beams are placed directly adjacent to each other and also form the bridge deck. The concrete abutments are supported by driven steel piles. The restored stream banks are protected with heavy riprap which is sized and placed in accordance with the Michigan Department of Transportation 2003 Standard Specifications for Construction.
The river cross sections are placed in HEC-RAS at the distances measured along the center line of the channel. In some cases the surveyed sections on each side of the bridge were adjusted up or downstream as required to model the bridge using the standard bridge/culvert input section of HEC-RAS. This is required because the actual location of the bridge was not known when the survey was performed. The final positions of the sections are shown in the plan view in Appendix C.
Although the bridge spans the main channel without restriction, the road approaches on each side of the bridge cut off a large portion of the overbank flow during the higher flow events. Ineffective flow areas were included in the overbank portions of the cross sections upstream and downstream of the bridge as suggested in chapter 5 of the HEC-RAS Hydraulic Reference Manual.
Placing the proposed road across the floodplain reduces the overbank conveyance and increases the water elevation upstream of the proposed bridge. In order to reduce the estimated water elevation upstream of the proposed bridge, relief culverts were added in the overbank areas thru the road embankment. Two culverts were placed on each side of the bridge for a total of four culverts. This was modeled using the multiple opening capabilities of HEC-RAS. Each culvert is a 9’ span x 4’ rise concrete box culvert. The inverts will be buried so that the fill inside the culvert is at the same elevation as the existing flood plain.
With the relief culverts in place there is still an unacceptable increase in the water elevation at the last surveyed cross section upstream of the proposed bridge (HEC-RAS river station 1080.) In order to gauge the severity of this problem, additional cross sections were extrapolated upstream using the last surveyed cross section and the estimated river gradient. Table 1 includes results where the river crosses the property boundaries for the first three upstream property owners. The last extrapolated section is at river station 6538 where the Middle Branch Escanaba River crosses the north boundary of Section 3. This is the limit of the property for which damage waivers related to an increase in flood stage have been obtained. At this location, the increase in 100-year flood stage for the proposed bridge and relief culverts is reduced to 0.02 foot above the existing condition.
6.0 Conclusion Table 1 on the following page summarizes the key model results for three configurations:
1. The existing channel. 2. 60’ span proposed bridge. 3. 60’ span proposed bridge plus two 9’x4’ relief box culverts on each side of the bridge (4
total).
The table shows a negligible increase in water surface elevation for the 100-year flow event for the bridge plus relief culverts option. In addition, there is no increase in the channel velocity at the bridge for up to a 10-year flow event. The 60 foot bridge with four relief culverts is the proposed bridge configuration for this site.
