TITLE: Increase Cedar River Channel Cross Section by Dredging

DESCRIPTION:
Dredge Cedar River channel to provide an increased section to allow a higher flow rate. Based on dredging the
river from the Five in One Dam (cross section T) to the south side of the landfill (cross section F). The typical
cross section uses a minimum bottom width of 300 feet sloping from an invert elevation of 699.0 feet to 692.0
feet. Approximately 183,000 cubic yards of material removed from the channel, which includes rock excavation.

ADVANTAGES:
Increased flow would reduce flood crest in Cedar Rapids.

DISADVANTAGES:
Dredging likely to need permitting from several agencies.
Spoil may include hazardous wastes (may contain phosphates, high pesticide levels and other farm runoff
chemicals) which will need remediation or special waste disposal.
Only small dredges can be used in river due to the available water depths (versus large dredges in Mississippi)
which will cause high costs.
High cost to remove/transport dredge material out of river floodway and floodplain.
Short term option unless continuing maintenance dredging is performed.
Although crest is reduced in Cedar Rapids, crests remain the same downstream.

Potential Reduction in 100-year Flood Crest: 0 ft to 0.4 ft.

Potential Reduction in 500-year Flood Crest: 0 ft to 0.3 ft.
Potential Reduction in 2008 Flood Crest: 0 ft to 0.2 ft.

Likely Timeline Before Benefits Occur: 10 to 20 years

ROM Cost Estimate: $26,000,000

TITLE: Increase Cedar River Channel Cross Section by Widening Channel

DESCRIPTION:
Dredge/widen Cedar River channel to provide an increased cross section area to allow a higher flow rate.

Based on widening the river channel from the Five in One Dam (cross section T) to the south side of the landfill
(cross section F). The typical cross section uses a minimum bottom width of 700 feet sloping from an invert
elevation of 699.0 feet to 692.0 feet. Approximately 1,644,000 cubic yards of material removed from the channel,
which includes rock excavation and 1,150,000 cubic yards of material removed form the banks. See figure for
Option S9A.

ADVANTAGES:
Increased cross section area to convey flow would reduce flood crest in Cedar Rapids.

DISADVANTAGES:
Dredging/excavation likely to need permitting from several agencies.
Spoil may include hazardous wastes (may contain phosphates and other farm runoff chemicals) which will need
remediation or special waste disposal.
High cost to remove/transport dredge material out of river floodway and floodplain.
Short term option unless continuing maintenance dredging is performed.
Although crest is reduced in Cedar Rapids, crests remain the same downstream.

Potential Reduction in 100-year Flood Crest: 0 ft to 3.8 ft.

Potential Reduction in 500-year Flood Crest: 0 ft to 3.3 ft.
Potential Reduction in 2008 Flood Crest: 0 ft to 3.2 ft.
