1.0 INTRODUCTION
Irmill'AICHOLS
In March of 2011, Freese and Nichols, Inc., (FNI) was retained by the City of Coppell,
Texas, to provide design alternatives for the lowering of the conservation pool of North Lake,
which is owned by the City of Coppell and located between the cities of Coppell and Irving. The
current conservation pool elevation is 510.0 ft -msl. The City desires to lower this elevation
according to one of two proposed plans — the first to lower the conservation pool by 20 feet to
elevation 490.0 ft -msl and the second to lower it by 30 feet to elevation 480.0 ft -msl. This
report summarizes the results of the hydrologic analysis, geotechnical analysis, and the review
of environmental permitting issues, and presents three preliminary design alternatives.
1.1 NORTH LAKE DAM
North Lake Dam, which forms North Lake, is currently owned and operated by TXU
Generation Company, L.P. The reservoir once served as a cooling pond for a steam electric
generating plant. However, the dam is now owned by the City of Coppell, and proposed
development around the lake has called for the lowering of the conservation pool elevation.
North Lake Dam was authorized by the State of Texas, Permit No. 1864, on April 23, 1957.
North Lake Dam, completed in August 1957, is located on the South Fork of Grapevine
Creek in the Trinity River Basin in northwestern Dallas County. It is situated on the southeast
side of the City of Coppell between Interstate 635 and East Belt Line Road. The general location
of the dam and reservoir is shown in Figure 1.

2.0 HYDROLOGIC MODEL DEVELOPMENT
FREESE
Ir M INNICHOLS
The hydrologic model for North Lake Dam was created in HEC -HMS and consisted of
two total drainage basins, as shown in Figure 2. The total drainage area modeled is
approximately 2.61 square miles, or 1,670 acres. One basin represents the area that drains to
the lake, while the other basin represents the surface of the lake itself. The overall basin was
delineated from two -foot contours from the 2001 NCTCOG dataset. Because the conservation
pool will be lowered from the existing level, the drainage basin representing the lake surface
was approximated at elevation 490.0 ft -msl from the 2008 volumetric survey of the lake.' While
the size and shape of the lake surface area may change with re- grading and development, this
basin is assumed to represent an appropriate approximation. The same basin was applied for
the option that lowers the conservation pool elevation to 480.0 ft -msl. A finalized hydrologic
model will be developed in the final design of the spillway modification.
2.1 HYDROLOGIC PARAMETERS
The HEC -HMS model incorporates the NRCS Curve Number and Unit Hydrograph
methods for each basin. In this model, the curve numbers were based on hydrologic soil
classifications and land cover. The soils dataset was obtained from the NRCS Soil Survey
Geographic Database (SSURGO), and land use classification was determined from a
combination of the 2005 NCTCOG Land Use Data' and the proposed master plan for future
development . Spatial information about the land use classifications is presented in Figure 3.
Table 1 provides the matrix used in determining the curve number for each basin. All soils in the
basin are in Hydrologic Soil Group D. The curve numbers shown in Table 1 represent both
Antecedent Moisture Condition (AMC) II, which is incorporated in the model for frequency
storms, such as the 100 -year event, and AMC III, which is used to simulate a worst -case
scenario with the ground full saturated for the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) events.

The only input into HEC -HMS for the NRCS Dimensionless Unit Hydrograph is a lag time,
which is calculated based on basin conditions, such as hydraulic length and average slope,
according to the NRCS TR -55 Method. The lag time for North Lake was computed by FNI during
a previous study for the development of an Emergency Action Plan (EAP). Table 2 provides a
summary of the hydrologic parameters for the basin representing the area outside of the lake
surface. Detailed calculations for the hydrologic parameters are provided in Appendix B. The
basin representing the lake surface was given no runoff loss or hydrograph transformation
parameters, so as to reflect the instantaneous nature of the direct runoff.
Table 2 — Basin Parameters
2.2 ELEVATION- STORAGE DATA
Elevation- storage data for the reservoir was approximated with the one -foot contours
generated from the 2008 volumetric survey to calculate the available storage in the reservoir.
The elevation- storage relationship was used in the hydrologic model for routing both the
frequency storm events and the PMF and is shown in Table 3.

2.3 DISCHARGE RATING CURVES
Ir w ill'AICHOLS
North Lake Dam currently has a single spillway structure located in the right abutment
of the embankment on the northeast corner of the dam. Information regarding the dimensions
and elevations of the spillway was taken from original construction drawings. The existing
spillway has a crest elevation of 510 ft -msl with a total length of 200 feet. The spillway
approach is lined with rock riprap and the crest is an asphalt roadway. The spillway discharges
through a concrete -lined chute along the downstream toe of the dam into a stilling basin then
down to the South Fork of Grapevine Creek.
Three modification alternatives were analyzed for this study and will be discussed in
greater detail later in this report. Each of these alternatives proposes removing the existing

overflow spillway structure and replacing it with some sort of riser and conduit system. A
portion of the existing concrete chute, along with the stilling basin, will remain in each
proposed alternative.
Alternatives 1 and 2 have the normal pool elevation at 490.0 ft -msl, and Alternative 3
has the normal pool elevation at 480.0 ft -msl. Alternative 1 consists of a riser with a 100 -ft weir
length in a labyrinth configuration. This was selected in order to keep the 100 -year flood to less
than a 2 -ft rise, as preferred by the developer. This is discussed in more detail in the next
section of this report. The conduit is an 8 -ft reinforced concrete box. Alternative 2 consists of a
square riser with an effective weir length of 30 feet. The conduit is a 5 -ft reinforced concrete
box. Alternative 3 consists of the same riser and conduit combination as Alternative 2. No
practical configuration was found to keep the 100 -year flood to less than a 2 -ft rise with the
starting water surface elevation at a normal pool of 480 ft -msl. The discharge rating curves
were calculated using both weir and pressure flow equations and are shown in Table 4, with
detailed calculations presented in Appendix C.

2.4 FREQUENCY MODEL RESULTS
The 100 -year frequency - or 1% annual chance - storm event was analyzed for each of
the North Lake Dam spillway modification alternatives. The hydrologic model described in the
preceding sections was implemented in analyzing this event. Curve numbers were set to AMC II,
and initial abstractions were calculated automatically by HEC -HMS. These assumptions
represent normal conditions, as would be expected prior to a storm event of this nature. The
precipitation data was obtained from the Integrated Stormwater Management (iSWM) Manual
developed by NCTCOG for the north - central Texas region. These values are presented in Table
5. Each storm event was assumed to have a duration of 24 hours.

These precipitation depths serve as input data into the hydrologic model, and were
routed through the model as described previously. The results from the 100 -year storm event
runs are shown for each alternative in Table 6.
Table 6 - Frequency Model Results
As noted previously, the size for Alternative 1 was chosen to limit the 100 -year rise to 2
feet. Such an alternative was not feasible at a normal pool elevation of 480 ft -msl.
2.5 PMF MODEL RESULTS
The Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) is defined as the greatest flood to be expected, and
the Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) is theoretically the greatest depth of rainfall for a
given duration that is physically possible over a given size storm area at a particular geographic
location. Generally, the rainfall depth is calculated for the ten square miles of the watershed
which receive the highest intensity rainfall.
Hydrometeorological Report No. 52 (HMR -52), developed by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, was used to determine the rainfall for each basin. PMP estimates were taken from

Hydrometeorological Report No. 51 and distributed according to HMR -52 to obtain average
rainfall depths over the various drainage areas.
HMR -52 calculates rainfall depths for storm durations ranging from five minutes to
seventy -two hours. Table 7 lists the point rainfall depths calculated by HMR -52 for storm
durations from one hour to 72 hours. Because the total drainage area is less than ten square
miles, the same rainfall depths were applied over the entire drainage area. Additionally, the
total rainfall depth was distributed according to the temporal distribution described by the
TCEQ Hydrologic and Hydraulic Guidelines for Dams in Texas.

The PMF was modeled for each modification alternative, as described previously, with
flood routing started at both normal pool elevations. According to TCEQ regulation s, the
North Lake Dam is classified as an intermediate -size, high- hazard structure. As such, North Lake
Dam is required to pass 100% of the PMF to be in compliance with the TCEQ regulations. The
critical PMF duration for Alternative 1 was 24 hours, while the critical duration for Alternatives
2 and 3 was 48 hours. Table 8 contains the results of these PMF model runs.

3.0 MODIFICATION ALTERNATIVES
FREESE
Ir w ill'AICHOLS
Alternatives were developed for two different normal pool elevations — 480 ft -msl and
490 ft -msl. A total of three modification alternatives were analyzed. Alternatives 1 and 2 have
the normal pool elevation at 490.0 ft -msl, and Alternative 3 has the normal pool elevation at
480.0 ft -msl.
Each of these alternatives proposes removing the existing overflow spillway structure
and replacing it with a riser and conduit system. All three alternatives utilize the same proposed
location of the riser structure and proposed alignment of the conduit. Figure 4 shows a plan
view of Alternative 3 as an example of the proposed location and alignment. Figure 5 shows a
cross section view of the spillway for Alternative 3, including the excavated approach channel.
Alternative 3 was selected as the example because it represents the most significant amount of
excavation due to the lower normal pool elevation.
A portion of the existing concrete chute will remain in place for each proposed
alternative. The conduit will run from the riser through the right abutment of the dam, where it
will bend to the alignment of the existing chute until the flowline of the conduit daylights into
the chute. The conduit will have a headwall, and discharges will flow through the existing chute
to the existing stilling basin, which will also remain.
3.1 ALTERNATIVE 1
Alternative 1 consists of a concrete riser with a 100 -ft weir length in a labyrinth
configuration with a crest elevation of 490.0 ft -msl. This was selected in order to keep the 100 -
year flood to less than a 2 -ft rise, as preferred by the developer. The conduit is set to be an 8 -ft
by 8 -ft reinforced concrete box, so as to maintain proper hydraulic behavior during the 100 -
year flood event. The riser will be controlled by weir flow up to elevation 492.8 ft -msl, at which
point the conduit will flow full and be controlled by pressure flow.

An approach channel will be excavated to elevation 483.0 ft -msl with a 2 -ft layer of rock
riprap on the bottom, side slopes, and around the riser structure. The width of the approach
channel will be 44 feet with 3:1 side slopes. During construction, a portion of the existing
ground surface will remain in place to act as a coffer dam to provide a dry working area for the
construction of the riser and conduit. This will then be excavated and lined with riprap as
mentioned previously.
The estimated construction cost of Alternative 1 is $2,429,200. A detailed Opinion of
Probable Construction Costs for each alternative is given in Appendix D.
3.2 ALTERNATIVE 2
Alternative 2 consists of a square concrete riser with 10 -ft by 10 -ft interior dimensions
and 12 -inch thick walls. Because of the need for backfill around the conduit, the effective weir
length is 30 feet. The crest of this riser is also at elevation 490.0 ft -msl. This riser was selected
as a simpler alternative to the labyrinth weir design of Alternative 1, and the 100 -year flood rise
is only 2.34 feet. The conduit is a 5 -ft by 5 -ft reinforced concrete box. The riser will be
controlled by weir flow up to elevation 493.5 ft -msl, at which point the conduit will flow full and
be controlled by pressure flow.
An approach channel will be excavated to elevation 483.0 ft -msl with a 2 -ft layer of rock
riprap on the bottom, side slopes, and around the riser structure. The width of the approach
channel will be 44 feet with 3:1 side slopes. During construction, a portion of the existing
ground surface will remain in place to act as a coffer dam to provide a dry working area for the
construction of the riser and conduit. This will then be excavated and lined with riprap as
mentioned previously.
The estimated construction cost of Alternative 2 is $2,170,300. A detailed Opinion of
Probable Construction Costs for each alternative is given in Appendix D.

3.3 ALTERNATIVE 3
n CHOLS
Alternative 3 consists of the same riser and conduit combination as Alternative 2. The
riser has interior dimensions of 10 -ft by 10 -ft with a crest elevation of 480.0 ft -msl. The conduit
is a 5 -ft by 5 -ft reinforced concrete box. The riser will be controlled by weir flow up to elevation
483.3 ft -msl, at which point the conduit will flow full and be controlled by pressure flow.
No practical configuration was found to keep the 100 -year flood to less than a 2 -ft rise
with the starting water surface elevation at a normal pool of 480 ft -msl. The weir length
necessary to maintain this little rise is not feasible for a riser and conduit system. The 100 -year
flood rise for Alternative 3 is 3.58 feet.
An approach channel will be excavated to elevation 473.0 ft -msl with a 2 -ft layer of rock
riprap on the bottom, side slopes, and around the riser structure. The width of the approach
channel will be 44 feet with 3:1 side slopes. During construction, a portion of the existing
ground surface will remain in place to act as a coffer dam to provide a dry working area for the
construction of the riser and conduit. This will then be excavated and lined with riprap as
mentioned previously.
The estimated construction cost of Alternative 3 is $3,143,200. A detailed Opinion of
Probable Construction Costs for each alternative is given in Appendix D. As mentioned
previously, Figures 4 and 5 show the plan view and cross section view, respectively, of
Alternative 3.

3.4 GEOTECHNICAL REVIEW
FREESE
Ir m ill'AICHOLS
A preliminary review of the geotechnical stability of the embankment demonstrated
that the lake could be drawn down from its current levels to approximately elevation 488.0 ft-
msl without any concerns for the stability of the upstream face. Reductions below that will
need some delay, but would be expected to be within the timeframe of construction process
and can be handled by the contractor. Precise limits will depend on the final selected
configuration and the additional geotechnical exploration and laboratory testing that will be
needed during the final design.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL PERMITTING REVIEW
FREESE
North Lake currently has a surface area of approximately 800 acres at an elevation of
510 feet msl and a maximum depth of about 40 feet. Grapevine Creek is a tributary of the Elm
Fork Trinity River, a Relatively Permanent Waterbody (RPW). Therefore, the South Fork of
Grapevine Creek, a tributary of Grapevine Creek, is a jurisdictional water of the U.S.
The City of Coppell (City) has purchased the lake and the surrounding area and has
requested that Freese and Nichols provide a permitting evaluation discussing the permanent
lowering of the reservoir's normal pool elevation to either 480 feet msl or 490 feet msl in order
to accommodate a planned residential development.
4.1 PERMANENTLY LOWERING THE NORMAL POOL ELEVATION
According to David Madden, Project Manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
( USACE), any activity involving the placement of fill material in a water of the U.S. would require
a Section 404 (Clean Water Act) Permit. For example, construction of a new spillway structure
within the existing normal pool (510 feet msl) area would require a Section 404 Permit.
However, Mr. Madden also stated that if a jurisdictional reservoir were to be modified to
permanently lower the normal pool elevation without the placement of fill within the existing
normal pool area, no Section 404 permit would be required.
Regardless of how the normal pool elevation is permanently lowered, a new
jurisdictional limit would be established when the newly exposed land surface completely dries
out, establishing a new normal pool elevation, shoreline, and jurisdictional limit, based on the
elevation of the new permanent spillway.
If the permanent placement of fill within the current normal pool area were necessary
to establish the new pool elevation, such as in the construction of a new spillway and /or
placement of rock riprap, there are two options available for pursuing USACE authorization for
the project: a standard individual permit (IP) or a modified IP (Letter of Permission 1 (LOP -1)).
June 2011 18
North Lake Dam Spillway Modification
City of Coppell
NRCHOLS
An IP application process would involve the submittal of detailed project plans and a
mitigation plan for adverse impacts to waters of the U.S., as well as a public review and
comment period and consultation with state and federal resource agencies.
The application procedure with LOP -1 is similar to that of submitting an IP, except that
the USACE would not require public notification. They would still afford the resource agencies
an opportunity to review and comment on the project. The USACE would have the option of
rejecting the LOP -1 procedure and require an IP submittal instead if they deemed that the
project was not in the public's best interest.
4.2 ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE NEW JURISDICTIONAL POOL AREA
Any work performed within the new normal pool area involving fill activities would
require a permit, most likely an IP, from the USACE. Activities can be conducted if performed in
such a way that avoids more than incidental fallback of dredged material. Discharge of more
than incidental fallback is considered a fill activity by the USACE. For example, excavation with
a back hoe bucket may be considered to have only incidental fallback, but excavation with an
earthmover or bulldozer could be considered by the USACE to involve more than incidental
fallback (i.e., involves the placement of fill) and therefore would require a permit.
4.3 ACTIVITIES NOT WITHIN THE NEW JURISDICTIONAL POOL AREA
Construction activities outside the new normal pool area of the reservoir, including the
placement of fill material, would not require a Section 404 Permit once the area outside the
new normal pool area has completely dried out.
4.4 MITIGATION
Permitted activities causing permanent impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S., such
as the placement of fill material within the existing or new normal pool areas, would require
compensatory mitigation. In this scenario, the purchase of mitigation bank credits may be a
practicable alternative to permittee responsible mitigation. Open water credits at the Trinity
River Mitigation Bank cost approximately $50,000 to $100,000 per acre of impact, depending
June 2011 19
North Lake Dam Spillway Modification
City of Coppell
IrMINNICHOLS
on the quality of the water resource impacted (i.e., low or medium versus high quality open
water habitat).
4.5 CURRENTLY FUNCTIONING SPILLWAY
A 42 -inch diameter pipeline that originally served to transport water from the Elm Fork
Trinity River (Elm Fork) to North Lake for use in the generation of electric power has been
functioning as a spillway since early 2010. The pipeline invert elevation is 502.25 feet msl, and
any overflow would flow directly to the Elm Fork. It may be possible to construct the proposed
permanent spillway on land above this elevation that has been de- watered by the 42 -inch
pipeline.
4.6 CONCLUSIONS
The construction of a new spillway structure within the footprint of the existing normal
pool area (510 feet msl or below) would require a Section 404 permit. Once the normal pool
elevation has been permanently lowered, construction above the new normal pool
elevation /jurisdictional limits can occur when the newly exposed land has completely dried out.
If the USACE agrees that the normal pool elevation is now 502.25 feet msl, based on the
invert elevation of the 42 -inch diameter pipeline that apparently now controls the water
surface elevation, then the construction of the proposed spillway may not impact waters of the
U.S. and may not require a Section 404 permit.
4.7 RECOMMENDATIONS
A Pre - Application meeting with the Fort Worth District USACE to discuss the method
described above for constructing a new spillway within the existing normal pool area (510 feet
msl or below), or above the existing "functional" normal pool area elevation (502.25 feet msl),
is recommended.
Construction activities within the proposed new normal pool area by the developer
would require a Section 404 permit. It may be in the City's best interest to have the developer
pursue their own USACE permit for such activities. Were the City to obtain a permit for the

developer's construction activities, and then the developer violated the terms of the permit,
the City could be held liable.

5.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
Irmill'AICHOLS
The proposed design alternatives for the North Lake spillway, as described above,
provide three viable options for achieving the goal of lowering the conservation pool of the
lake. Each of the three alternatives has been modeled according to State criteria using the best
available information. The Opinion of Probable Construction Costs estimates that the cost for
Alternative 1 would be $2,429,200, the cost for Alternative 2 would be $2,170,300, and the cost
for Alternative 3 would be $3,143,200.
A review of environmental permitting issues concluded that a Section 404 permit may
be required for the construction of the new spillway because it would be within the existing
normal pool area. However, the normal pool elevation may be deemed to be 502.25 ft -msl,
rather than 510 ft -msl, based on the flowline of the 42 -inch pipe that is now open and controls
the water surface elevation. A meeting with the Fort Worth District USACE will be necessary to
make the final determination. In either case, once the lake has been lowered to the new normal
pool elevation and the land has fully dried out, any construction above the new normal pool
level will not require a permit. Construction below the new normal pool level will require a
Section 404 permit, and it is recommended that this be obtained by the developer, rather than
the City.
