THE STUDY AREA COVERS THE WATERSHEDS THAT LIE ALONG THE PROCTOR CREEK AND TERREL CREEK IN THE CAREY PARK, ALMOND PARK AND PARTS OF GROVE PARK AREA. THE STREETS ABUTTING THE STUDY AREA INLUDES THE D.L. HOLLOWELL ROAD ON THE SOUTH, JAMES JACKSON ROAD ON THE WEST, PROCTOR CREEK ON THE EAST AND HOLLYWOOD WOODS AT THE NORTH. OTHER MAIN STREETS ON TEH SITE ARE THE HOLYWOOD ROAD, GUN CLUB ROAD, HIGHTOWER ROAD AND SPRING STREET.

THE HOLLYWOOD AND MAGNOLIA CEMETERIES BEGAN IN LATE 1800’S AND WAS PREDOMINANTLY FOR WHITE PEOPLE. THE STREETCAR HAD A MURNERS CAR SPECIALLY TO CATER TO THE CEMETERIES HERE. THERE WERE ILLEGAL BURIALS IN THE CEMETERIES AND AFTER THE WHITE FLIGHT FROM CAREY PARK, THE CEMETERY WAS EVENTUALLY ABONDONED.

BROWNFIELD THIS IS THE CAR JUNKWARD RIGTH ON THE INTERSECTION OF HOLLOWELL AND JAMES JACKSON ROAD. A TRIBUTARY FOR TERREL CREEK STARTS HERE AND THE SITE HAS IMMENSE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPMENT.

LAND INVENTORY CLASSIFYING PARCELS AS VACANT, DEVELOPABLE, UNDEVELOPABLE AND THE PUBLIC DOMAIN/ OPEN SPACES MAKES AVAILABLE THE INVENTORY OF LAND THAT NEEDS FOCUS AND CAN ACT AS AN OPPORTUNITY. MOST PARCELS IN THE STUDY AREA WERE EITHER VACANT OR WERE PARTIALLY DEVELOPED WITH A STRONG POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS.

STUDYING THE PROCTOR AND TERRELL CREEK ALONG WTH THEIR TRIBUTARIES THAT FLOW THROUGH CAREY PARK AND GUN CLUB AREA PROVIDES FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WATER FLOWS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR THE IDENTIFICATION AND ISOLVING OF WATER RELATED ISSUES THAT EFFECT THE AREA OR MIGHT AFFECT AFTER DEVELOPMENT.

STREAMSTAT - ANALYSIS HIGH VOLUME CAUSING FLOODS AT THE JUNCTION OF TERREL AND PROCTOR Slope - 10.42 % 1% AEP flood - 1520 ft^3/s Width 18.4 ft, Depth - 1.53 ft Cross Section - 31.4 sq ft

THE HIGH SLOPE INDICATES TO HIGH VELOCITY. HOWEVER, THE LESS VOLUME AND THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE ONLY SYSTEM THAT HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED BY HUMAN INTERVENTION, MAKES US CONSIDER THE STREAM AND ITS BUFFER TO BE A PRESERVE. Slope - 15. 27% 1% AEP flood - 208 ft^3/s Width 6.77 ft, Depth - 0.84 ft Cross Section - 6.5 sq ft

SPRING STREET-STREAM HAS HIGH VELOCITY AND VOLUME CAUSING EROSION AT THE BASE OF THE STREAM. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE STREET PRESENCE THE STREAM HAS EFFECTLY LOFT ALL NATURAL FLOW AND OFTEN OVERRUNS THROUGHT ASPHALT. Slope - 13.02% 1% AEP flood - 347 ft^3/s Width 2.58 ft, Depth - 0.29 ft Cross Section - 9.54 sq ft

THE STREAM FLOWS OVER THE LANDFILL AND HAS MOSTLY BEEN CONTAINED. Slope - 12.64% 1% AEP flood - 160 ft^3/s Width 6.04 ft, Depth - 0.78 ft Cross Section - 5.68 sq ft

THE STREAMS HERE CAUSE HUGE FLOODING COLLECTIVELY IN THIS PART OF PROCTOR CREEK. Slope - 9.51% 1% AEP flood - 372 ft^3/s Width 2.58 ft, Depth - 0.29 ft Cross Section - 9.54 sq ft

THIS IS A MAJOR STREAM TRAVERSING THROUGH MOST OF CAREY PARK. THE SPEED AND VOLUME REQUIRES SOME INTERVENTION AS WELL AS NATURAL CLEANING PROCESS SINCE THE ORIGIN LIES AT THE BROWNFIELD (CAR JUNKYARD). Slope - 8.03% 1% AEP flood - 339 ft^3/s Width 2.53 ft, Depth - 0.29 ft Cross Section - 9.24 sq ft

WATER ISSUES - Army Corps of Engineers

PC-8-2 (TERREL AND PROCTOR CONFLUENCE) Bank reshaping to create a low floodplain bench for floodwaters to access. Minor excavation and reshaping of stream banks.

PC-10 PC-09 PC-08-1

PC-08-1 (PET CEMETERY) Log revetment, invasive plant species control, bar cut and creation of low floodplain creation that will enhance the banks of the pet cemetery. Cross vanes for flow stress reduction and planting to create wetland.

PC-08-2 PC-09 AND PC-10 Poor riparian cover nd encroaching neighborhoods. sewer creates a fish passage barrier. Proposals for rock stream barbs, fish passage ramp, log stream barbs stone toe protection etc.

PC-13

TC-02 PC-13 (WEST HIGHLANDS and GUN CLUB) Narrow Riparian corridor due to encroachment, bank erosion and invasive plants.

PC-14

TC-05

PC-14 High speed of the creek, stream habitat destruction, toe and bank erosion.

PC-15

PC-15 Habitat mprovements, water quality, erosion. TC-02 (HOLLYWOOD CEMETERY) The majority of the work will be in an area adjacent to a cemetery, with opportunities for streambank stabilization and wetland creation. A diversion will be created to divert stream flow from Terrell Creek to an offline wetland area.

TC-07

TC-05 Flooding control, fish passage ramp creations, wetlands, invasive plat strategy. TC-07 (CENTER HILL PARK) Flood control, bank erosion, water retention possibility.

LANDFILL

14. Creak meandering. 15. Island creation to break velocity and habitat generation. 16. Tributary riparian updation. 17. Terraced farming to prevent water entering directly to proctor. 18. Wetland creation.

19. Bank Erosion protection. 20. Wetland Creation add biophilic design. 21. Meandering. 22. Island creation. 23. Riparian restoration

The natural terrain gives an opportunity to creat multilevel trails that enable the use of the park in case of high water levels as well.

At high floods, the lower trail is submerged, while the higher trail remains accessible to residents/ visitors.

GENERAL STRATEGY - Stream and water management. - Adding frontage to the existing streams to activate the proposed green developments. - Provide a good mixed typology options for housing for all.

collecting and channeling teh spring stream system to prevent flooding of the street and provide a space for the stream to flow freely.

SPRING STREET STRATEGY The street was made over an existing stream leaving no space for its natural flow. We propose to collect the water in an open stream chanel besides the street. this chnnel woul dhave stones and checks to prevent high velocity of water s it reaches the ground.
