Poplar Creek Floodplain Study Review

November 17, 2020
Page 1 of 6
1.0 Project Understanding
1.1 General Understanding
The Illinois State Water Survey (ISWS) was contracted by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) to update the 2010 Detailed Watershed Plan (2010 DWP)
Hydrologic and Hydraulic (H&H) models in Kane and Cook Counties and incorporate them
into the effective FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and Flood Insurance Study
(FIS). As part of that contract, the ISWS updated and prepared a revised H&H models of
Poplar Creek, portion of which is located within the corporate limits of the City of Elgin, IL.
Because of this update, ISWS has prepared the draft FIRMs for Poplar Creek, which were
presented to the City at the Flood Risk Review meeting held in October 2018. Upon
completion of the update process, the draft FIRMs will form the basis for the Special Flood
Hazard Area (SFHA) that will be shown on the revised FIRMs when they become
effective.
A summary of the impacts to the floodplain of Poplar Creek are as follows:
• The updated hydrologic study of Poplar Creek shows that the flows in Poplar
Creek has increased by approximately 64%; from 2,010 cubic feet per second (cfs)
in the current effective FIS to 3,295 cfs as modeled by ISWS
• The increase in flows as well as an updated hydraulic model of Poplar Creek
results in an increase of flood elevations along Poplar Creek. Between Fox River
and Cookane Avenue, the flood elevations have increased by almost 3 feet.
Once the draft FIRM maps become effective, the revised SFHA will add additional
properties in the floodplain of Poplar Creek. While the floodplain limits have
generally increased throughout the study area, the worst impacted area is located
between Hammond Avenue to the south, Dixon Avenue to the north, Grace Street
to the west and Lavoie Street to the east. City has however not had any record of
flooding to the extent shown in the revised floodplain limits in the impacted area.
Additionally, the floodway boundary along Poplar Creek has significantly
increased. It must however be noted that the floodplain limits map the risks for a
100-year storm event. The past historical storms are not necessarily
representative of a 100-year flood event.
• The Poplar Creek in general has experienced flooding within the limits of currently
mapped floodplain boundaries and the City has purchased known flood prone
properties.
It is typical of these studies to utilize best available data which can sometimes be limited
such as survey of existing culverts and channel; for example, any improvements City has
made to any culverts or channel section since the FEMA study was last completed is likely
not reflected in the revised model by ISWS. The impacts of the revised floodplain maps
can be very significant to the City as the new maps, when they become effective, will put
additional properties in the floodplain, which may require that these property owners
purchase flood insurance. Any development or redevelopment of parcels along Poplar
Creek will be subject to floodplain permitting based on new maps. Additionally, the
Version2.1 02212019
Professional Services Agreement
Poplar Creek Floodplain Study Review
170339
November 17, 2020
Page 2 of 6
properties mapped in new floodway will have both regulatory impacts and flood insurance
impacts.
We recommend that the City use a phased approach to the Poplar Creek Floodplain
Revision as noted below:
Phase 1 — Floodplain Map Review
As noted above, the study completed by ISWS is based on best available data. This
includes an update to the H&H models. Since the maps are in draft stage, the City has an
opportunity to investigate and provide review comments along with supporting technical
data that will allow ISWS to review the presented information and incorporate it in the map
revisions prior to them becoming effective. The scope of the Phase I is further discussed
below.
Phase 2 — Poplar Creek Flood Mitigation Study and Master Plan
Should the floodplain limits of Poplar Creek stay as currently mapped in the ISWS draft
maps, which is likely given the 64% flow increase along Poplar Creek, the City shall be
proactive in undertaking a flood mitigation and master plan study to determine how the
impacts of the new study and revised floodplain limits be minimized with the following
objectives:
• Reduce impacts to newly mapped properties in the floodplain;
• Reduce flooding along Poplar Creek that has been observed historically based on
current effective as well as new FIRMs;
• Assess what impacts, the new hydrologic data (Bulletin 70 updates) will have on
flows and flood profiles;
• Develop a master plan to guide phased implementation of projects based on
priority and cost -benefit analysis; and
• Apply for funding through applicable funding agencies including but not limited to
FEMA, Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR), Environmental Protection
Agency.(EPA), and other local, state and federal grant programs.
A detailed scope for Phase 2 shall be developed upon completion of Phase 1. The scope
and fee for the Phase 1 is presented below in the proposal.
1.2 Design Criteria/Assumptions
The review of the floodplain maps and technical data provided by ISWS will be completed
in accordance with best practices utilized in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling as well as
applicable guidance from FEMA, IDNR and Kane County Stormwater Ordinance.
2.0 Scope of Services
The CITY agrees to employ ENGINEER to perform the following services:
Task 1 - Review Hydrologic Models Prepared by ISWS
ENGINEER will request from ISWS (through the City) H&H models in electronic format
prepared for Poplar Creek. As noted above, the hydrologic models prepared by the
ISWS indicates that the flows in Poplar Creek have increased by 64% (from 2,010 cfs to
Version2.1 02212019
Professional Services Agreement
Poplar Creek Floodplain Study Review
170339
November 17, 2020
Page 3 of 6
3,295 cfs). ENGINEER will review the hydrologic model to ensure that appropriate
hydrologic parameters (watershed, runoff curve numbers, times of concentration, etc.)
were used in the model and that any upstream storage (detention basins, depressional
storage, etc.) was included in the model. The scope for the ENGINEER is not to update
the hydrologic model in its entirety; instead, ENGINEER will identify significant deviations
from best practices and/or opportunities that could provide storage routing such that flows
within Poplar Creek are better represented of actual watershed conditions.
Task 2 — Limited Stream and Culvert Survey
As noted above, the models prepared by ISWS are based on updates to the earlier
models prepared as part of the 2010 DWP prepared by the Metropolitan Reclamation
Watershed District and is based on best available data. It is not uncommon for FEMA
and its technical partners to complete these models based on available topographic and
structure data. Although, it appears that much of the increase in waters surface elevation
within Poplar Creek is a result of increased flows, it is assumed that survey was not
completed of the culvert and/or the channel, which can sometimes have a significant
impact on the hydraulic results. As part of the review services, ENGINEER recommends
performing a survey of the structures along Poplar Creek and of the road profiles where
the overtopping happens.
The following structures are located along the creek:
1. Railroad Structure
2. Raymond Street
3. Railroad Structure (Not in old FIS)
4. St. Charles Street
5. Bluff City Boulevard
6. US 20 (upstream of this, it confluences with Lord's Park Tributary)
7. Villa Street
8. Dickie Avenue (Not in old FIS
9. Varsity Drive (aka Campus Drive in FIS)
10. Irving Park Road (IL-19) (Upstream of this is outside of the corporate limits of
Elgin)
The following structures are located along the Lord's Park Tributary
11. Bent Street
12. Villa Street
13. Laurel Street
14. E. Chicago Street (IL-19)
15. Bode Road
16. Lord's Park bridges (3 within park)
ENGINEER recommends that structures that appears to be undersized and are
overtopping per model review be surveyed. The following structures are included in the
scope and fee for survey:
• Upstream and downstream face of the structures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 12. These
structures appear to have the greatest restriction to flow along Poplar Creek and
hence would also appear to have the most significant impact to the flood elevations
along Poplar Creek.

November 17, 2020
Page 4of6
Please refer to Exhibit 1 for structures identified for survey. The survey data will be
compiled and prepared to submit to ISWS for updates to the model, if necessary.
Task 3 - Review Hydraulic Models Prepared by ISWS
Similar to Task 1 above, ENGINEER will review the hydraulic model for Poplar Creek.
The model will be compared to the survey data obtained in Task 2 above. The scope for
the ENGINEER is not to update the hydraulic model in its entirety; instead, ENGINEER
will identify significant deviations from best practices and/or opportunities that could
produce flood elevations, which are better represented of historical flood observations by
the City. .
Task 4 — Technical Memorandum
ENGINEER will prepare a Technical Memorandum summarizing our findings along with
relevant structure surrey, modeling discrepancy, etc. The Technical Memorandum will
be prepared in a format that if any significant findings are made, it will consist of sufficient
detail that it can be submitted to ISWS to request model updates. If it is determined, that
ISWS models are appropriate and there are no significant findings, the Technical
Memorandum will summarize the basis of such conclusions.
Task 5 — Project Administration, Meetings and Correspondence
This task will include overall project administration for the duration of the work including
preparing work plan and scheduling resources to meet project schedule and budgets.
ENGINEER will provide updates to the CITY on a regular basis and attend project
progress meetings as follows:
• An in -person meeting will be scheduled to discuss the findings of the review of
