Introduction
PROJECT TITLE: Flood Control Feasibility Plan
PROJECT ID: CEEn-2016CPST-007
PROJECT SPONSOR: City of Payson
TEAM NAME: BYU Storm Water Engineers
Overview
The Ridge Lane area currently does not have a storm water system. As a result, homes in the area
experience flooding during major rain events. To fix this problem, we propose to design a storm
water system for the Ridge Lane area. AutoCAD 3D Civil will be used to analysis our design to
ensure that the storm water system can handle a 100-year storm for the city of Payson, Utah. The
new storm water system will prevent any future flooding of homes in the Ridge Lane Area.
Scope of Work
The main tasks of the project are:
Develop a storm water system that includes: drainage basins, a storm water pipe
system, and a filtration system
Design a retention basin
Stop flooding that affects the homes in the area
Schedule
We will carefully complete each task according to the schedule provided in the following pages
in the proposal. Each team member will dedicate 8 hours a week towards working on the project.
We will start working on the project starting in the beginning of January 2017 through the end of
March 2017.
Deliverables
There will be a monthly status report documenting the current challenges,
solutions, and progress
A final report with design alternatives for the project that includes economic and
environmental consideration
A presentation to the sponsor and a poster session for students, faculty, and other
interested individuals will be organized

Proposed Work Plan
The primary tasks associated with this project with consist of an AutoCAD 3d Civil design of a
working storm water conveyance system for the area shown in figure 1. This system will consist
of a retention basin, storm water pipe, filtration system, and several drainage basins. In addition,
several options will be considered to find an optimum value for effectiveness, cost, and time of
construction. The design work will be done primarily at the Brigham Young University Campus
during the winter semester of 2017. The proposed conditions that signal the successful completion
of this project will consist of: a working order storm water system, a design that is easy to
implement and understand, an effective yet financially acceptable system, and prevention of any
future flooding.
Tasks to be performed:
o Analysis of the utility lines in the subject area.
o Determination of unlisted underground lines such as cable.
o Determination of max water flow during a 100-year storm
o Analysis of water flow
o Analysis of best locations to place drainage basins and the number.
o Research on drainage basin specifications and styles
o Analysis of alternative systems
o Research on Man hole specifications
o Compatibility and adjustment due to utility lines.
o Determination of maximum storm water pipe for water flow
o Research of different filtration systems and their viability
o Research on different types of drainage basins and their viability
o Review to ensure adequate soil –water absorption
o Ensure no negative effects on downhill residents.

Facilities, Tools, Data and Equipment
Several tools will be required to complete this project. The tools associated with the design phase
will be the primary focus of this section. The secondary construction phase will require typical
construction vehicles associated with storm water system creations.
AutoCAD Civil 3d: A engineering design program which allows for storm water planning.
Combines surveying data, underground utilities, and general surface conditions to allow for
maximum design potential.
Payson City. Standard Specifications and Standard Plans: Gives several codes to assist is creating
an acceptable storm water conveyance system. Will be heavily referenced and used for analysis of
the various options.
Project Budget
This section outlines the estimated completion date and time required for each segments of the
design phase. The project is expected to run between early January to mid-March. Numbers
represent estimated hours of work time per team member. (1 = 1 hour, 3= 3 hour, etc).

Deliverables
Resources will be made available throughout the development of this project that will give insight
into the design and progress the team has made. These resources include short monthly status
reports that document the challenges, solutions, and progress that the project team has made. These
status reports will answer several questions about the development of this project which will
include:
What challenges the team encountered during the development of the project
What actions the team decided to do to overcome challenges
What progress the team made to overcome these challenges
Whether the project is on schedule
The team will also use these status reports to summarize the progress and status of the project. It
will also show if the challenges negatively affected the progress of the project and if there were
plans made to get back on schedule.
Once the project is completed, a final report that will also consists of design and cost analysis of
the project will be made available. The final report will also have design alternatives for the project
that include economic and environmental considerations. The final report will be made available
as a PDF.
Along with a final report, a poster will also be made that describes the design and objective of the
project. This poster will be intended for anyone including students, faculty, and other individuals
who are interested in the project. A PowerPoint presentation that summarizes the project will also
be used for the presentation to the sponsor. All deliverable will be done and made available by
April 10, 2017.
Performance Standards
Team will provide work for this Capstone project “as is” using best practices and with best effort.
Project results cannot be construed as work performed by licensed professionals and cannot be
used as “stamped deliverables” without first being reviewed, approved and stamped by a qualified
and relevant license professional engineer.
The team will be guided by Christian Kesler who is a graduate student mentor at Brigham Young
University. There will also be several university faculty members who will also guide students
including Dr. James E. Nelson who is a professor of civil engineering at BYU. The sponsor of the
project is Travis Jockumsen who is the Public Works Director, Development Services Director,
and City Engineer of the City of Payson in Utah.
The project team consists of three undergraduate civil engineering students attending Brigham
Young University. All three undergraduate students in the project team are close to earning their
bachelor degrees in civil engineering. The team plans on setting hours each week to work together
on project. Collaboration on the project will consists of each team member utilizing skills learned
from educational experiences at BYU.
