Some damaged valve box <br />tops may require replacement. Hydrant replacements will include the associated gate valve <br />and lead. Existing curb stop boxes identified to be buried or significantly sticking up above <br />the surrounding ground level will be adjusted to the proper ground level. A few curb stops <br />that were not located by city staff will have exploratory excavations completed as part of <br />the project in an effort to locate them or replace them further upstream on the service line <br />to be accessible. <br />See Figure 5 and Figure 6 in Appendix A for the proposed utility improvements. <br /> Storm Sewer <br />Based on the existing storm sewer age, size, and performance, the existing storm sewer was <br />found to be in generally good condition. Storm sewer improvements will include <br />rehabilitations at select locations including CIPP lining, minor pipe replacement, select <br />structure replacements, and riprap rehabilitations at select outlet locations. Some of the <br />work identified will be taking place outside of the roadway area in easements that may <br />necessitate tree removal and restoration of temporary access impacts, including private <br />landscaping facilities in some areas. <br />Stormwater quality improvements will also be implemented to help remove sediments and <br />pollutant loads from entering Karth Lake. This will include the replacement of the last storm <br />sewer structure in the street prior to its outfall into Karth Lake, where an existing grit <br />chamber does not exist. This structure will be replaced with a new structure that includes a <br />sump and SAFL Baffle to capture sediment from continuing downstream. This will allow city <br />maintenance staff to easily access the structure and vac out accumulated sediment. <br />Beyond the work identified above, the remaining storm sewer manhole castings within the <br />pavement of the project areas will be adjusted to final grade to provide a smooth/drivable <br />street surface in conjunction with the street resurfacing portion of the project. Some <br />damaged castings may require replacement (assuming 50%). This work will include the <br />replacement of all concrete adjustment rings for each applicable manhole structure within <br />the pavement limits. Additionally, “painted on” internal chimney seals will be installed to <br />mitigate deterioration of the concrete adjusting rings and mortar to reduce the need for <br />long term maintenance. Catch basins within the existing concrete curb and gutter will not be <br />adjusted, unless otherwise identified for structure replacement or curb replacement <br />surrounding the structure. <br />See Figure 5 and Figure 6 in Appendix A for the proposed utility improvements. <br />1. Risk Assessment of Submerged Culverts in Karth Lake <br />A bathymetric survey was performed in April 2025 to assess the sediment load near <br />the five submerged outlets to Karth Lake. The survey found some organic sediment <br />was accumulating near the outlets, but the majority of sediment is being pushed out <br />further into the lake and forming sediment deltas. These deltas do not negatively <br />affect the performance of the submerged inlets. There was a noticeable ‘hard-bottom’ <br />at each outlet location assumed to be a mix of gravel and rock erosion delivered by <br />the storm outlets. However, the limits of the sediment deltas relative to the ‘hard- <br />bottom’ of Karth Lake’s natural lakebed is difficult to delineate. The outlets likely <br />deliver suspended solids and particulates to Karth Lake without creating a clogging <br />issue. Each inlet is clear of sediment and debris and has a free outfall condition. <br />The four of the five outlet pipes to Karth Lake are submerged and fully below the <br />DRAFT
