Final Hydraulic Report
Federal Highway Administration Central Federal Lands Highway Division
February 2021
Executive Summary
Hydrologic and hydraulic analyses were conducted for the OK ERFO T500(1) Horton Slough Trail Project.
The project proposes to replace the failed pedestrian crossing over Horton Slough with a pre-fabricated structure. For the pedestrian bridge the 10-year flood and 25-year flood were selected as the hydraulic design and check floods, respectively. The peak flow values were estimated using USGS regression equations for Oklahoma. Existing and proposed conditions two-dimensional hydraulic modeling using SRH-2D was conducted to estimate water surface elevations and flow velocities at the project site. Bridge scour will be evaluated in subsequent design phases when geotechnical information is available. Based on the results of the hydraulic analysis the following proposed bridge geometry was selected:

1 PROJECT BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Horton Slough Trail project is located in Sequoyah County, OK within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge, see Figure 1. As a result of the May 2019 flood event the site experienced flood damage at various locations including the failure of the existing pedestrian suspension bridge over Horton Slough. The proposed project will replace the bridge crossing with a pre-fabricated structure and improved foundations.

3 HYDROLOGY
3.1 HYDROLOGIC SETTING
The project is located within the Pheasant Creek-Arkansas River Sub-watershed (HUC12:) on Horton Slough. Horton Slough provides a hydraulic connection between Sally Jones Lake and the Robert S. Kerr Reservoir, all of which are man-made features. The Robert S. Kerr reservoir impounds the Arkansas River at Robert S. Kerr Lock and Dam. The total drainage area to the dam is approximately 148,800 square miles.
The Sally Jones Lake-Horton Slough drainage basin was delineated using available 10-meter digital elevation model (DEM) information obtained from the USGS National Map as shown in Figure 2. Surface waters are delivered to the lake by various intermittent streams. Reverse flow from the reservoir depending to the lake has been noted in the past depending on reservoir water levels. For the purposes of the bridge replacement project and in order to be conservative it was assumed that Horton Slough is the only outflow from Sally Jones Lake and that flow direction takes place from Sally Jones Lake eastward to the Robert S. Kerr Reservoir. It is outside of the scope of the project to simulate Arkansas River hydraulics, reservoir operations and flow reversals in the slough. A summary of general basin properties is shown in Table 3.

3.2 FEMA FLOOD INSURANCE STUDY
According to FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) panel 40135C0380F the project is located within the FEMA Zone A special flood hazard area (SFHA). The SFHA comprises the land area that is shown in the FIRM as being inundated by the 1% chance (100-year) base flood and where the National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP) floodplain management regulations apply. The boundaries of FEMA Zone A are determined using approximate methods therefore no base flood elevations (BFEs) are shown in the FIRM.
An excerpt of the applicable FIRM is shown in Figure 3. In this case the Zone A boundaries appear to be the Arkansas River floodplain. The bridge trail project will not cause adverse impacts to base flood elevations in the river. As shown in Table 2 the PDDM criteria for Zone A allows a maximum of 1-foot rise in proposed conditions base flood elevations when compared to the existing condition.

3.3 AVAILABLE HYDROLOGIC DATA
There are no active USGS peak streamflow stations within the project limits. The closest USGS active station is located in the Arkansas River approximately 10 miles downstream of the project site. Although listed as an active station the period of record for peak streamflow data is limited. Due to the size of the project drainage basin compared to the Arkansas River basin the streamflow information was not used in the hydrology analysis for the project. Table 4 summarizes the station location and period of record.

3.4 REGRESSION EQUATION ESTIMATES
The StreamStats web application (U.S. Geological Survey 2016) was used to estimate peak flows for the Horton Slough Bridge. The Oklahoma StreamStats application uses the regression equations presented in USGS Report 2010-5137 (Lewis 2010). The statewide equations developed for Oklahoma relate peak discharge to drainage area, mean annual precipitation, and stream slope. According to the study the average standard errors of prediction for the equations vary from 32 to 47 percent. The results for the Horton Slough Bridge basin are shown in Table 5.

3.5 RAINFALL-RUNOFF MODEL ESTIMATES
3.5.1 Precipitation
The point precipitation values for the project were obtained from NOAA Atlas 14 Volume 8 (Perica, et al.
2013) using the Precipitation Frequency Data Server (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 2011). The project is located in climate region 4 according to Figure 4.1.2 in Atlas 14 which encompasses the Mississippi Valley from eastern Oklahoma to the Gulf of Mexico.
The values of point precipitation are assumed to represent precipitation over the entire project area.
NOAA Atlas 14 states that point precipitation values within the project area are equal to point rainfall values. The point precipitation/rainfall values for a duration of 24 hours and various return periods are shown in Table 6.

3.5.2 Basin Parameters
The NRCS curve number (CN) method (Natural Resources Conservation Service 1997) was used to estimate runoff. A composite CN for the basin was estimated using SSURGO soil information (Natural Resources Conservation Service 2015) and the 2011 national land cover dataset (Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics Consortium 2018). Soils within the project basin are classified predominately as hydrologic soil groups (HSG) B and D. Land cover for the project basins consists primarily of deciduous forest, pasture, cultivated crops, and woody wetlands. The NRCS lag time equation and unit hydrograph were used to estimate peak flows from the basins. An SCS (now NRCS) Type 2 rainfall distribution was selected based on the project location. A summary of basin parameters is shown in Table 7.

Basin Parameter Value Drainage Area (sq. mi.) 5.55
Composite Curve Number (CN) 70 Watershed Slope (%) 5.4
Watershed Length (ft) 27,300 NRCS Lag Time (min) 154
The hydrologic computations were carried out using HEC-HMS (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 2017). The results for various return periods are shown in Table 8.

3.6 RECOMMENDED DESIGN DISCHARGES
The recommended design flows for the Horton Slough Bridge are shown in Table 9. The regression equation results were selected since they are more conservative than the rainfall-runoff model results for the less frequent events. Additional details of the hydrologic analysis are provided in Appendix A.

4 HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS
4.1 TOPOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
Two sources of topographic information were used to develop the hydraulic model: 2010 LiDAR-derived 1-meter bare earth digital elevation model (DEM) obtained from the USGS National Map (U.S. Geological Survey 2018) and field survey information collected by Central Federal Lands in the vicinity of the existing bridge and in selected cross section locations. The field survey was limited to overbank areas except at a location approximately 1,300 feet downstream of the proposed bridge where channel thalweg information was collected at the existing fisherman’s crossing. Since LiDAR information does not capture the bathymetry of the main channel, a channel cross section was estimated using information obtained from the field survey. The cross section shape, width, and depth were approximated using the field survey information. The estimated bathymetry of the main channel was incorporated into the project LiDAR topographic data by using the channel stamping methodology in SMS 13.0.11 (Aquaveo 2019). A main channel slope of 0.03% was assumed based on the valley slope.
The field survey information was merged with the LiDAR data to obtain a seamless topographic surface for the project as shown in Figure 4. All elevations for the study are in units of feet and are referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88).

Figure 4: Project Topographic Surface, Elevations in feet referenced to NAVD88
4.2 HYDRAULIC MODEL DEVELOPMENT
Two-dimensional hydraulic modeling using SRH-2D (U.S. Bureau of Reclamation 2017) was conducted to estimate water surface elevations, water depth and flow velocities in the project reach. The model pre-and post-processing was performed using the SMS 13.0.11 interface (Aquaveo 2019). The model domain extends approximately 700 feet upstream (west) of the proposed bridge crossing, or approximately 400 feet east of Sally Jones Lake. The model extends approximately 2,700 feet downstream of the proposed bridge to avoid influencing waters surface elevations at the project site. Due to the topography at the model domain boundary it was not possible to capture the entirety of the flow for the less frequent events. A wall boundary condition is assumed at the southern boundary where flow appears to continue south outside of the model domain boundary toward the Arkansas River. It is outside of the scope of the project to model the entire lake and Arkansas River watershed.
The upstream boundary conditions in the model were specified as a steady inflow discharge using the peak flows in Table 9. As mentioned previously it was assumed for the study that the entire contributing
Horton Slough Bridge
Page 9 OK ERFO T500(1) Horton Slough Trail - Hydraulic Report basin outlets via Horton Slough. The downstream boundary condition was specified as a stage-discharge rating curve obtained using Manning’s equation and a energy grade line slope of 0.1% as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5: Flow vs. Depth Rating Curve Boundary Condition
SRH-2D uses Manning’s “n” values to calculate bed friction. The land use types were delineated from aerial imagery as shown in Figure 6 and assigned typical roughness values. The roughness values used in the model are shown in Table 10.

4.3 HYDRAULIC MODEL RESULTS
4.3.1 Existing Conditions
Existing conditions hydraulic simulations using the parameters described in Section 4.2 were conducted for the 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year return periods. The failed existing bridge was excluded from the analysis since there were no bridge geometry details available. The existing conditions results are summarized in Table 11. Velocity values were extracted inside the bridge opening. Water surface elevation and depth values were extracted at a point approximately 160 feet upstream from the bridge site. The N4520 Road bridge was modeled as a blocked obstruction to simulate backwater effects.
Additional details of the hydraulic analyses are provided in Appendix B.

4.3.2 Proposed Conditions
Proposed conditions hydraulic simulations using the parameters described in Section 4.2 were conducted for the 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year return periods. For the proposed conditions model the proposed bridge was assumed to have a low chord elevation of 467.6 feet and a bridge opening of approximately 150 feet. The proposed bridge was modeled in SRH-2D as a pressure flow boundary conditions for the 50- , and 100-year simulations. The proposed conditions results are summarized in Table 12. Velocity values were extracted inside the bridge opening. Water surface elevation and depth values were extracted at a point approximately 160 feet upstream from the bridge site. The results show that the proposed bridge has capacity to pass a 10-year peak flow while meeting the minimum of 2 feet of freeboard. The proposed bridge has capacity to pass a 25-year peak flow with less than 1 foot of freeboard. Bridge pressure flow, where the flow impinges on the low chord, occurs at a 50-year peak flow and above. The proposed bridge does not experience overtopping for the events simulated. The proposed bridge results are shown graphically in Figure 7. Additional details of the hydraulic analyses are provided in Appendix B.

Freeboard was evaluated for the maximum water surface elevation at a point approximately 160 feet upstream of the bridge face. The results are summarized in Table 13. The results show the proposed bridge can pass the 10-year design frequency with 3.78 feet of freeboard and a 100-year design frequency with
0.37 feet of freeboard.

A comparison of the average and maximum 100-year water surface elevations upstream of the bridge is shown in Table 14. The results show that the increase in 100-year water surface elevation is caused by the proposed bridge is not significant. Since the bridge causes a rise in base flood elevations of less than 1-foot the floodplain encroachment criteria for FEMA Zone A is satisfied.

4.4 SCOUR ASSESSMENT
4.4.1 Long Term Stability Assessment
As described in previous sections, Horton Slough provides a hydraulic connection between Sally Jones Lake and the Robert S. Kerr Reservoir, all of which are man-made features. Flow and flow direction in Horton Slough vary with water levels in the connecting lakes. For this evaluation flow was assumed to primarily take place from Sally Jones Lake to the reservoir, or west to east. As shown in Table 12, stream velocities for the design events are extremely low, varying from approximately 2 to 4 feet per second. For mean annual conditions stream velocity and sediment transport capacity are expected to be low. There is no evidence of lateral migration or vertical degradation at the site, the slough is a straight channel within the vicinity of the project, only showing sinuosity downstream of the county road bridge. To account for uncertainty in the evaluation, 1-foot of long term degradation is assumed in the following scour assessment.
4.4.2 Geotechnical Investigation
A gradation analysis of streambed material was conducted as part of the geotechnical investigation documented in the project Geotechnical Report. Based on the laboratory results the sample is classified as SP-SM or a poorly graded sand with silt. The median particle size (D50) is 0.2 mm (0.0006 ft). The particle size distribution is shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8: Boring Sample BH20-02 Particle Size Distribution
Page 14 OK ERFO T500(1) Horton Slough Trail - Hydraulic Report
4.4.3 Scour Estimates
Scour depth estimates were conducted in accordance with HEC-18 (Federal Highway Administration 2012). Total scour is the combination of long term degradation, contraction scour and local scour. For this study local scour was estimated using the NCHRP 24-20 method. As discussed previously, the site investigation did not observe potential for long term degradation. For this analysis, 1-foot of long term degradation was assumed to account for potential bed elevation changes.
Based on the hydraulic design criteria established for the project, scour depths were estimated using the a 25-year scour design flood and 50-year scour check flood. In addition, 100-year scour depths were estimated. Based on the critical velocity of the streambed materials a live bed scour condition can be expected. In this condition sediment is being transported into the bridge opening from upstream flow.
Abutment scour was estimated using the NCHRP 24-20 method which applies an amplification factor to the contraction scour at the abutments, i.e. it includes contraction scour at each abutment as part of the estimate. For this estimate, scour elevations are referenced to the bottom of the abutment pile cap. A summary of potential contraction and abutment scour estimates are shown in Table 15. A minimum median size of 0.0007 feet was used in the abutment scour analysis per HEC-18. This provides a conservative estimate as smaller particle sizes tend to limit ultimate scour depths due to cohesion. Note that these results are maximum potential depths and assume that the entire depth is allowed to scour.
The ultimate scour depth could be limited by soil layers not represented by the geotechnical boring sample. Additional details of the scour assessment are included in Appendix B.

1 Precipitation frequency (PF) estimates in this table are based on frequency analysis of partial duration series (PDS).
Numbers in parenthesis are PF estimates at lower and upper bounds of the 90% confidence interval. The probability that precipitation frequency estimates (for a given duration and average recurrence interval) will be greater than the upper bound (or less than the lower bound) is 5%. Estimates at upper bounds are not checked against probable maximum precipitation (PMP) estimates and may be higher than currently valid PMP values.
Please refer to NOAA Atlas 14 document for more information.
