About this file
This is a 100-Percent Hydraulics Report for the Lake Nighthorse project in La Plata County, Colorado, prepared by WSP USA Environment & Infrastructure Inc. The report details a comprehensive hydraulic and hydrologic analysis for improving roadway and drainage infrastructure, focusing on ten existing cross culverts and two new culverts along a roadway connecting County Road 210 to the Lake Nighthorse Boat Dock. Key technical elements include design flow estimations using rainfall-runoff analyses, hydraulic performance evaluations using HY-8 and FlowMaster software, and proposed drainage upgrades such as flushing and reusing existing culverts, plugging and abandoning certain culverts, installing new culverts, and implementing a Hydrodynamic Separator for parking lot runoff management.
The hydraulic design follows Federal Lands Highway (FLH) Project Development and Design Manual criteria, with design frequencies of 50-year flood for culvert design and 10-year flood for roadside ditch capacity. The project aims to improve road surface and parking lot conditions, with specific technical interventions including full depth reclamation with cement, asphalt overlay, and comprehensive drainage system upgrades. The report notes the project area is partially within a FEMA Zone A floodplain, requiring coordination with local floodplain management authorities, and the design takes into account environmental considerations and flow management towards Lake Nighthorse.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Hydrologic and hydraulic analyses were conducted for the Lake Nighthorse project located in La Plata County, CO. The hydraulic design frequencies are the 50-year flood for culvert design and the 10-year flood for roadside ditch capacity and stability.
The design flows were estimated using rainfall-runoff analyses (USACE, 2023). Hydraulic performance for each cross culvert was evaluated using HY-8 (FHWA, 2022).
The ditch design was evaluated using Bentley FlowMaster (2020 Bentley Systems) and includes both grass-lined and paved sections as necessary to avoid underground utilities and to maintain compliance with CFL criteria.
A Hydrodynamic Separator is included in the design to manage runoff that flows over the proposed paved parking lot. Table 1 summarizes the existing conditions and proposed upgrades for ten existing cross culvert locations and two new cross culvert locations (Abbreviations: CMP – Corrugated Metal Pipe). See Figure 1 for an overview of the project location.

1 PROJECT BACKGROUND
INFORMATION
This project includes the evaluation of ten existing cross culverts and two new culverts along the roadway connecting County Road 210 to the Lake Nighthorse Boat Dock just east of Lake Nighthorse.
These cross culverts convey flows under the roadway from east to west and drainage eventually reaches Lake Nighthorse.
The analyses detailed in this report include hydrology and hydraulics for all existing and proposed cross culverts, the addition of a side drainage ditch, and hydrologic implications of new pavement over the existing (unpaved) parking lot. New drainage including curbs, inlets, and water quality measures that were evaluated for the proposed parking lot.
Cross culverts and side drainages that convey design flows were evaluated for capacity and upgraded/replaced as needed. Some of these culverts show some damage to the end treatments, most likely due to the short length and no end sections.
Peak flows were estimated across the project area using rainfall runoff modeling. Culvert hydraulics were evaluated using the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) HY-8 software, and ditch hydraulics evaluated using Bentley FlowMaster.

2 HYDROLOGY
2.1 HYDROLOGIC SETTING
The project is located entirely within La Plata County, Colorado southwest of the City of Durango.
The design road runs along a ridgeline between steep forest land and Lake Nighthorse. Runoff flows generally drain toward the design road and are conveyed downstream to Lake Nighthorse.
2.2 AVAILABLE HYDROLOGIC DATA
The project site does not include any National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) stream crossings. No flow records are available at the project site and no nearby gages are available.
2.3 FEMA FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides flood insurance rate maps that detail special flood hazard areas. Land that is inundated by the base (100-year) flood are subject to National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) floodplain management regulations.
The national flood hazard map indicates that a portion of the project limits for the Lake Nighthorse Road rehabilitation falls within Zone A (See Figure 2). FEMA Zone A is defined as an area with a one-percent annual chance of flooding.
The project will be classified as “working within the floodplain” but “no significant encroachment.”
The Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) oversees floodplain management within the State of Colorado. According to CWCB regulations, any project within a Zone A floodplain may result in a maximum rise of 0.50 feet in the base flood elevation (BFE), the regulatory 100-year water surface elevation, before a Conditional Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) is required.
The proposed roadway improvements will not impact the floodplain as no roadway modifications will be made within this zone (i.e., no additional embankment fill, etc.). However, since the roadway work will be close to the area of impact a floodplain permit will be required to complete the work.
Coordination with the La Plata County Floodplain Administrator should be conducted as needed to meet the local permitting requirements.

3.1 HYDRAULIC DESIGN CRITERIA
The design and analysis of the proposed culverts evaluated for this project were developed in accordance with the design criteria outlined in the Federal Lands Highway (FLH) Project Development and Design Manual (PDDM).

A HEC-HMS Version 4.11 model (USACE, 2023) was developed to perform rainfall-runoff analyses at the existing and proposed culverts. HEC-HMS methodology was determined to be the best approach for analysis as the drainage conditions in this location act primarily as a network (i.e., flows from one ditch segment/culvert entering another), resulting in cumulative flows. HEC-HMS is a popular choice for this type of project as it allows for individual analysis of flow concentration times, providing a more accurate depiction of cumulative peak flows. Rational Method was also considered as a viable option due to the small drainage basin sizes (<200 acres), however this was determined to be overly conservative for this type of analysis as it does not include calculations for individual timing of the various peak flows. This would result in a higher than anticipated peak flow, as the multiple flow paths leading into a culvert would be assumed to converge at the same time.
Sub-basin boundaries, land use, and hydrologic soil groups were spatially intersected to generate an accurate runoff curve number for each sub-basin in accordance with NRCS Runoff Curve Number (CN) methodology paired with an SCS Type II rainfall distribution.
The development of rainfall runoff parameters is detailed in the subsections below. See Figure 3 for a schematic of the drainage area delineations and the existing culvert locations. Subbasin hydrologic parameters are summarized in Table 3.
3.1.1 DRAINAGE BASIN DELINEATIONS
For these calculations, basins were delineated against a 1-meter Digital Elevation Model (DEM) published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 2022 (USGS, 2022).
Central Federal Lands
WSP
April 2025
3.1.2 SOILS AND LAND COVER
Soil datasets were downloaded from the Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO) website (NRCS, 2015). Soils within the basin are a relatively even combination of hydrologic soil groups C and D with a few small areas of B soils.
Various cover types exist within the watershed including deciduous forests, evergreen forest, and shrub/scrub.
3.1.3 RAINFALL DATA
Precipitation datapoints for the analysis were obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) Atlas 14 Precipitation Frequency Data Server (PFDS). A precipitation grid dataset was downloaded from the PFDS for each required recurrence interval and were spatially averaged using ArcGIS Pro Version 3.1.2 for each subbasin to obtain a single average precipitation depth.
3.1.4 LOSS METHODOLOGY
Land cover types and hydrologic conditions were intersected with their respective hydrologic soil groups. CN values were then assigned based on the tables within the TR-55 Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds (SCS, 1986), made available by the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Table 4 summarizes the CN values used in each subbasin.
3.1.5 SUBBASIN LAG TIME
The time of concentration for each basin was calculated following the methodology outlined in TR-55.
First, the longest flow paths for each basin were delineated in ArcGIS Pro (Esri Inc., 2023).
The longest flow paths were then subdivided into overland, shallow, and channel flow sections.
Channel flow sections were provided with roughness characteristics. Finally, the length, slope, and average velocity of each flow path segment were calculated from the DEM. The 2-year NOAA Atlas 14 rainfall depths were input for channel flow path segments.
The time of concentration for each subbasin was calculated from the flow metrics listed above.
The subbasin lag time for input to HEC-HMS was calculated as 60 percent of the time of concentration. A minimum lag time was considered times under 5 minutes, however as further detailed in Section 3.1.7, WSP elected to apply shorter lag time estimates in the HEC-HMS model to better account for peak flow timing throughout the flow network. Refer to Appendix A for mapped flow paths corresponding to each subbasin.
3.1.6 TRANSFORM METHODOLOGY
The SCS Unit Hydrograph transform methodology was applied to transform the rainfall-runoff volume from each subbasin into runoff hydrographs. The SCS Unit Hydrograph uses the lag time, which accounts for different types of basins land use, storage, and the average slope of the basin, to shape the resulting runoff hydrographs. Table 3 summarizes the lag time for each subbasin.

WSP evaluated watershed lag times using the methodology outlined in the Soil Conservation Service’s Technical Report 55, Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds, commonly referred to as TR-55.
The lag times for the subbasins contributing to each culvert were calculated as 60 percent of the time of concentration (Tc) estimated using TR-55 equations. Necessary input includes land cover and roughness coefficients, length of the longest flowpath from the upper elevations to the subbasin outlet, slope of the hydraulic grade line (assumed equal to the bed slope), hydraulic radius of channelized flow sections, and the 2-year, 24-hour rainfall.
Point precipitation depths for the 2-year 24-hour storm were sourced from NOAA precipitation grids. These grids were developed for durations ranging from a minimum of 5 minutes up to 60 days. Although it is recommended to assume a minimum time of concentration (Tc) value of 5 minutes to maintain correlation with the NOAA point precipitation frequency estimates, WSP elected to apply shorter Tc and subsequent lag time estimates in the HEC-HMS modeling to better account for peak flow timing throughout the flow network.
This approach is conservative because increasing shorter lag times to 5 minutes would decrease the peak flow estimates for affected subbasins. Additionally, because the PDDM recommends a minimum cross-culvert pipe diameter of 24 inches and because peak flows calculated with the shorter lag times were all within the existing culvert’s design capacities, Central Federal Lands
WSP
April 2025 it was determined that comparing results against the 5-minute values would not provide any design benefit.

Proposed improvements to the parking lot hydraulics include rerouting all parking lot runoff into a storm drain system consisting of three catch basin manholes, draining stormwater flow into an Hydrodynamic Separator and finally into Culvert 3 before re-entering the lake. Addition of the storm drainage infrastructure will provide a more efficient drainage and storage system for the parking lot runoff before re-entering the surrounding drainage network.

Culvert 4 is abandoned with flows redirected to Culvert 3, and Culvert 7 is also abandoned with flows rerouting to Culvert 11 for proposed conditions. Based on the analysis described above, the proposed conditions for each existing culvert are provided in Table 9. The design headwater elevation is below the aggregate base course at all crossings and HW/D requirements are met for all culverts. No roadway overtopping is observed during the design event.

Per consultation with CFL and the design team, it was determined that Culverts 4 and 7 shall be abandoned and plugged. Culvert 4 shall be abandoned to improve the aesthetics and usability of the public swim beach directly downstream. Re-routing of these flows under the parking lot through Culvert 12, and then into Culvert 3 will direct peak flows away from the beach and improve the recreational beach space available for public use. Culvert 7 shall be abandoned to improve the alignment of the channel and replaced with Culvert 11, which will have a smaller impact as it is shorter than Culvert 7.
Upon completion of the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, it was determined that due to the varying time of concentrations between the subbasins for Culverts 3 and 4, the re-routing of Culvert 4 flows through Culvert 12 and into Culvert 3 did not drastically increase the overall flow volumes and was found to be within the 25-year design capacity for the existing system.
5.3 ROADSIDE DITCHES
A ditch system has been designed to run along the roadway and convey runoff to the culverts. The PDDM requires that roadside ditches be designed to convey the 10-year event with a maximum water surface elevation no higher than the bottom of the aggregate base layer. Proposed roadside ditch cross-sections were designed using Bentley FlowMaster V8i (Bentley Systems, Inc., 2009).
The ditch system design is primarily driven by the need to avoid existing underground utilities while also meeting CFL criteria. As a result, the proposed ditch includes sections of grass-lined, paved, and detached sections. A summary of the ditch design parameters is presented in Table 11.
The grass-lined ditch cross-section is triangular with 3:1 and 2:1 (H:V) side slopes. Roughness coefficients were estimated based on existing imagery and range from 0.04 to 0.045. A summary of the grass-lined ditch design parameters is presented in Table 11.
For the grass-lined portions of the ditch, the distance between the top of the pavement and the bottom of the ditch is designed to be 2 ft, and the pavement is designed to be 8 in. As per the design criteria listed in Table 2, the 10-year water surface elevation within the ditch must remain below the proposed aggregate base course, so the maximum normal depth for the 10-year event through the ditch is 16 inches.
Central Federal Lands
WSP
April 2025
The paved ditch cross-section is triangular with 10:1 (H:V) and 0.625:1 (H:V) side slopes. This cross-section was assumed for the entire length of the proposed ditch. Roughness values were estimated as 0.015.
The detached ditch cross-section is triangular with 3:1 (H:V) and 3:1 (H:V) side slopes. This cross-section was assumed for the entire length of the proposed ditch. Roughness values were estimated as 0.015.
Riprap countermeasures will be placed at each intersection between paved and unpaved ditch sections. These riprap sections were designed according to the methods of HEC-14 on the assumption that the flow behaves like culvert outflows. See Section 5.4.2 for proposed ditch riprap sizing and Appendix E for a detailed presentation of the roadside ditch design.

5.4 PROPOSED SCOUR COUNTERMEASURES
5.4.1 PROPOSED CULVERT OUTLET PROTECTION
The outlet protection design was conducted according to the methods outlined in the FHWA’s CFLHD Detail for Placed Riprap at Culvert Outlets (FHWA, 2006).
Table 13 shows the calculations of the minimum riprap diameters to protect against outlet scour at each culvert. A site visit was completed by WSP at the Project 30-percent design level. During the site visit it was noted that many of the existing culverts (to be flushed rather than replaced) had adequate scour protection from riprap placed along the roadway embankment. WSP therefore recommends installation of new riprap at new culvert installations and any existing areas that have experienced erosion. Refer to Appendix D Culvert Proposed Outlet Protection for further details.

Notes:
1. Minimum required D50 sizing was determined using Equation 10.4 from Chapter 10 of the FHWA HEC-14 guidelines.
2 & 3. Proposed Apron length and Apron Depth were determined using Table 10.1 from Chapter 10 of the FHWA HEC-14 guidelines.
Per Table 10.1 of the HEC-14 guidelines, a minimum D50 of 5” requires a Class 1 riprap. However, as indicated in the CFL design standards, all culverts under a 10% grade shall have a minimum of Class 3 riprap used for scour protection. The proposed riprap classification has therefore been upgraded to Class 3 riprap for all locations.
Central Federal Lands
WSP
April 2025
5.4.2 PROPOSED DITCH SCOUR COUNTERMEASURES
The preliminary calculations show that the minimum D50 diameter riprap of 6 inches (Class 2) is sufficient to protect against outlet scour at each paved and detached ditch. Per Chapter 10 of the HEC-14 guidelines, a minimum apron length of 8 ft and minimum apron depth of 1.65 ft is required.
As indicated in Section 5.4.2, a Class 3 riprap has been proposed for all culverts.
As requested by CFL, for the purposes of simplifying construction procedures (i.e., managing payment items, tracking material quantities, etc.) the proposed riprap classification for all ditch scour protection shall be Class 3.
5.5 PARKING LOT DRAINAGE
5.5.1 INLET DRAINAGE DESIGN
The inlet design was conducted according to the methods outlined in the Mile High Flood District MHFD’s Street and Inlet Hydraulics Workbook (MHFD, 2023). Inlets 1, 2 and 3 are shown in Figure 6. A five-foot Curb Inlet opening was used as the inlet type for all three inlets.
Figure 6: Parking Lot Inlets
The Mile High Flood District (MHFD) does not include analysis for parking lots within the Inlet Workbook, nor is there any specific criteria listed in the MHFD volumes regarding allowable spread within parking lots. As inlet design calculations were not available for parking lots using the MHFD
Inlet 1
Inlet 2
Inlet 3
Central Federal Lands
WSP
April 2025 guidelines, the maximum allowable spread widths calculated for the three inlets were designed to meet MHFD’s rural street standards. This approach is reasonable because the parking lot entrance is adjacent to what the MHFD would consider a rural street.
The MHFD’s Inlet Workbook was used to determined required flow capacity of the proposed curb and gutter under minor and major storm event scenarios (see Table 14).

5.5.2 HYDRODYNAMIC SEPARATOR DESIGN
A Hydrodynamic Separator is proposed at the parking lot access road station 1+55, 20’ RT to collect and treat the parking lot runoff. See Figure 5 below.
Figure 7. Hydrodynamic Separator Profile View
Following The City of Durango Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual, the MS4 General Permit defines that new development and redevelopment locations shall be designed to treat a minimum runoff flow equivalent to the 80th percentile storm event, corresponding to a storm depth of 0.6 inches and shall reduce the event mean concentration of total suspended solids (TSS) to a median
Central Federal Lands
WSP
April 2025 value of 30 mg/L of less. Following the Mile High Flood District (MHFD) Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual Volume 3, the Water Quality Peak Flow (WQPF) was determined to be 2.34 CFS.
The specific Hydrodynamic Separator dimensions will be designed according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Similarly to other water quality systems along this project reach, the proposed Hydrodynamic Separator shall be a hydrodynamic treatment system capable of separating oil from the parking lot runoff in addition to containment of debris, trash and sediments. Available products were reviewed for compliance and multiple Contech Engineering Solutions’ hydrodynamic separator treatment options were found to be compatible with the City of Durango’s water quality design criteria, such as the CDS and Cascade Separator units.
