About this file
This is an Engineering Design Report for a Permit to Construct application for the rehabilitation of the 4 Lazy F Ranch Cabins in Grand Teton National Park, prepared by Morrison-Maierle engineering firm. The project involves retrofitting 12 historic buildings (9 for employee housing) to serve 38 seasonal residents during summer months. The water system, designated GTNP – Moose/Beaver Creek (EPA PWS Number WY5680093), will connect to existing infrastructure in Moose, Wyoming, with average daily water demand of 4,750 gallons per day (3.3 gpm) and maximum daily demand of 12,920 gallons per day (8.97 gpm). The wastewater system will utilize a new lift station with two Flygt NP 3085SH 3 Adaptive 255 submersible pumps to convey flows averaging 3.3 gpm and peaking at 14.3 gpm through approximately 6,200 linear feet of 4-inch HDPE force main to the existing Moose treatment facility located one mile south.
The design complies with Wyoming DEQ Chapter 11 (Sewerage Systems) and Chapter 12 (Public Water Supplies) standards. The potable water distribution system will utilize 4-inch DR-11 HDPE mains meeting AWWA C906 standards, configured as a looped system with isolation valves and service lines not exceeding 200 feet. All mains and services will be buried minimum 6 feet deep to prevent freezing. Hydraulic modeling demonstrates minimum system pressure of 49 psi at maximum day demand plus fire flow (500 gpm), with normal working pressure of 73-78 psi. The lift station, located 3.8 feet above the modeled 1-percent annual exceedance probability flood elevation, includes a 5-foot diameter reinforced fiberglass wet well with concrete foundation, emergency response capacity of 30 hours at average flow, and integration with existing SCADA systems at the Moose treatment plant. All wastewater collection piping will be drained and winterized as the property operates seasonally. The existing onsite well will be abandoned per Wyoming regulations, with well house fabric documented and preserved for potential future reconstruction.

ENGINEERING DESIGN REPORT
1 SYSTEM INFORMATION
Water System Name: GTNP – Moose/Beaver Creek
Location: Moose, Grand Teton National Park, WY 83012
EPA PWS Number: WY5680093
Population Served: 22
Avg Daily Water Demand: 38 x 125 per capita gpd = 4,750 gpd (WY DEQ minimums)
Max Daily Water Demand: 38 x 340 per capita gpd = 12,920 gpd (WY DEQ minimums)
Source Water Type: Surface water
2 SCOPE AND PURPOSE
The project will rehabilitate multiple buildings at the former “4 Lazy F” Ranch (4LF) to allow for adaptive reuse of the historic structures as seasonal housing, addressing the park’s housing shortage. It will preserve and rehabilitate sleeping cabins, the main lodge, a garage, and outbuildings to provide living quarters, site improvements and utility upgrades for seasonal employees.
The subject property is currently not in use. The existing onsite well and septic facilities will be abandoned and the renovated buildings will be connected to water and sewer mains from
Moose, WY. The water and sewer facilities are operated and maintained by the National Parks
Service to serve park facilities such as 4LF, and there is sufficient capacity to connect the property with no negative impact to other customers or to treatment and distribution infrastructure.
The property will be occupied during summer months only and will be winterized when not in use. The project will include the installation of a new sanitary sewer collection system, a sewage lift station and force main, and associated equipment and appurtenances between the historic
4LF cabins and the existing sewer treatment facility in Moose, WY. The project also includes the installation of a potable water distribution system for domestic and fire service use connecting to an existing 8-inch water main at the 4LF Site.
In summary the project includes the following site improvements to facilitate the construction of the dormitory:
• Site grading
• Parking lot expansion including ADA spaces
• Sanitary sewer improvements connecting to the existing sewer network
• Water improvements to supply fire protection and domestic water to the cabins
2 | P a g e
3 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Project Location
The existing L4F cabins are located at the end of 4 Lazy F Ranch Road north of Moose, WY, approximately one mile north of the Grand Teton National Park Headquarters. The project will rehabilitate 12 buildings on site, 9 of which will provide housing for employees.
The following are the proposed occupancies for the rehabilitated buildings:
• River Cabin – 1 room (2 people)
• Nurse’s Cabin – 2 rooms (4 people)
• George’s Cabin – 2 rooms (4 people)
• End Cabin – 2 rooms (4 people)
• Middle Cabin – 2 rooms (4 people)
• Mrs. Oliver’s Cabin – 2 rooms (4 people)
• New Cabin – 1 room (2 people)
• Harry’s Cabin – 1 room (2 people)
• Main Cabin – 2 rooms (12 people)
Figure 1. Location of the 4 Lazy F Ranch
Floodplain Considerations
The subject property is shown on FEMA FIRM Panel 2490E, map number 56039C2490E. The
4LF site is within the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) Zone A and is subject to inundation by the 1% Annual Chance Flood. No base flood elevation has been determined by FEMA for the subject property.
3 | P a g e
Figure 2. 4 Lazy F Ranch FIRM. Zone A indicates land within the 100-year floodplain with no base flood elevations determined.
Because no base flood elevations have been established for the Zone A Special Flood Hazard
Area (SFHA), a site-specific HEC-RAS 2D model was developed to better characterize flood risk at the subject property.
The model terrain was developed using the publicly available digital elevation model (DEM) from the WY_GrandTetoneNP_D22 lidar collection project, published January 29, 2025. As a conservative modeling approach, the water-surface elevations captured during the lidar survey were retained in the model terrain. Based on a comparison of the lidar collection dates with recorded discharge at the USGS stream gauge along the Snake River at Moose, Wyoming
(Station 13013650), the retained water surface represents approximately 2,000 to 3,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) of channel flow.
Discharges for the 1-percent annual exceedance probability (AEP) flood, commonly referred to as the 100-year flood, and the 4-percent AEP flood, commonly referred to as the 25-year flood, were obtained from the USGS StreamStats gage information for the Snake River at Moose, Wyoming. The regulated flood-frequency statistics used in the model were:
• 1-percent AEP flood: 24,240 cfs
• 4-percent AEP flood: 20,090 cfs
4 | P a g e
A spatially varying surface-roughness layer was developed using the 2025 Multi-Resolution Land
Characteristics Consortium land-cover dataset at a 30-meter resolution. Manning’s roughness coefficients were assigned to the applicable land-cover classifications based on calibrated roughness values reported by Nelson and Schmidt (2007) in Hydrology and Geomorphology of the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park.
The site-specific modeling indicates that the Snake River channel and adjacent floodplain terrace contain modeled flood events up to and including the 1-percent AEP event. The proposed lift-station location is approximately 3.8 feet above the modeled water-surface elevation for the 1-percent AEP event and approximately 300 feet horizontally from the modeled inundation boundary. See Appendix A for an exhibit showing the project location with respect to the 1- and
4-percent AEP events.
These results indicate that the proposed facilities are outside the modeled 1-percent AEP inundation extent and are elevated above the corresponding modeled flood elevation.
4 POTABLE WATER DESIGN
In 2018, an 8-inch HDPE water transmission main was installed from the Moose Water System to 4LF. This main currently dead ends at a fire hydrant near the main lodge. This main has fire suppression capacity to the fire hydrant. Replacement of the internal looped water system will ensure sufficient water and fire service capacity is provided to each of the structures.
The water system will be constructed to meet WYDEQ Water Quality Regulations Chapter 12 requirements to ensure that 500 gpm can be provided by the existing fire hydrant with a 20 psi minimum residual in the distribution system. Each of the water services to the structures are to be constructed to adequately provide fire flows to sprinklers as required in the
International Fire Code (IFC) – Site Fire Flow Requirements. Building sprinkler demands are between 30 and 56 gpm per structure. All mains and water services will be constructed at a minimum depth of 6 feet to address freezing concerns with operational blow-offs and pump out drains provided for operations. A new water meter with digital readout will be supplied in a new vault within 4LF area to allow operators to monitor water use.
The new water distribution system shall be looped, with service lines to each plumbed structure stemming off the water main. Each service line shall include an isolation valve and shall be sloped back to the water main or to the structure to allow for draining and winterization. Isolation valves shall be included at each branch of the water main and at the midpoint of the looped main.
New main and service lines shall be constructed of HDPE and equipped with tracer wire to allow location. New water mains shall be 4” DR-11 HDPE meeting AWWA C906 standards. All new service lines constructed shall be sized appropriately for any applicable fire suppression flows. New service lines shall not exceed 200 feet. Air relief valves will be furnished at all high points in the system with drains at all low points.
5 | P a g e
The existing water well on site will be abandoned per WYDEQ Water Quality Regulations
Chapter 26. Following abandonment, a report will be required by the State of Wyoming
Engineers Office, Ground Water Division. Due to the historic nature of 4LF, the existing well house fabric will be documented in place, set aside for future reconstruction. All other existing well system infrastructure will remain abandoned in place.
Average and maximum day potable water demands were calculated using DEQ Chapter 12, Section 10(i) values while peak hour rates use a multiplier of 3.4 applied to the average flows, as presented in Table 1 . These values are considered very conservative as there is no irrigation potential off this supply line.
Table 1. Projected potable water demands.
Average Day Max Day Peak Hour
125 GPDPC*38 people =
4,750 GPD=3.3 GPM
340 GPDPC*38 people =
12,920 =8.97 GPM
3.3 GPM * 3.4 =11.22 GPM
5 WASTEWATER DESIGN
A new collection system will be constructed to serve the cabins. A lift station constructed in a central location in the 4LF area will pump this wastewater through a force main to the existing wastewater collection system and treatment plant in Moose.
Estimated flows were developed using the same per-capita values as water demands, resulting in the flows listed in Table 2. A peaking factor of 2.8 was used for maximum day flows. A peaking factor of 4.34 was used for peak hour flows based on population served.
Table 2. Projected wastewater demands.
Average Day Max Day Peak Hour
125 GPDPC*38 people =
4,750 GPD=3.3 GPM
3.3 GPM * 2.8 = 9.24 GPM
= 13,306 GPD
3.3 GPM * 4.34 = 14.3 GPM =
20,624 GPD

9 HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS
National Parks Service engineers conducted a two-hydrant flow test on July 14, 2026 at approximately 2:20 pm, resulting in the following:
• Test Hydrant: SE (at 4LF) o Location: 43°40'0.71"N, 110°42'20.01"W
• Residual Hydrant: NW (at Caretakers Cabin) o Location: 43°40'8.07"N, 110°42'30.41"W
• Outlet Diameter: 2.5"
• Static Pressure: 73 psi
• Residual Pressure 29 psi
• Calculated Flow: 705 gpm
11 | P a g e
This data was used to model available flow to the development as a reservoir-and-pump proxy. A pump curve was established utilizing the emitter discharge equation and NFPA 291
Equation 4.10.1.2. The system was modeled in Bentley WaterGEMS 23.00.00.19.
Figure 3 Hydrant pump curve for hydraulic model
Scenarios were calculated for average-day demand and maximum-day demand plus fire flow.
See Appendix C for tabulated model results. Static pressure in the system is expected to be
73-78 psi. Iterative fire flow analysis found that all building fire suppression systems can provide the required flow at maximum-day demands and that the existing hydrant can provide up to 770 gpm without system pressures dropping below 20 psi. Maximum pipe velocity at fire flow is 8.82 feet per second.

Emergency Response Time at Ave Flow: 1249 min
Effective Volume (EV): 110.2 gallons
Effective volume depth (5-ft dia.): 0.75 ft
Calculations:
Fill time = EV / ADF 33.4 min
Drawdown rate = Pumping rate - Filling rate 79.4 gpm
Drawdown time = EV / drawdown rate 1.4 min
Pump cycle time = Fill time + Drawdown time 34.8 min
Therefore, every 34.8 minutes the pumps will cycle during average day flow conditions.
This equates to 2 pump cycles per hour.
Max Flow Fill time = EV / PHF 7.7 min
Drawdown rate = Pumping rate - Filling rate 68.4 gpm
Drawdown time = EV / drawdown rate 1.6 min
Pump cycle time = Fill time + Drawdown time 9.3 min
Therefore, every 9.3 minutes the pumps will cycle at Peak Hour flow conditions.
This equates to 6.5 pump cycles per hour.
