    mta-dot236-2_WinifredNorth_Hydraulics_Memo_Final.pdf
    The Final Hydraulics Design Memorandum for the Winifred North improvement project (MT FLAP DOT 236(2)), prepared by Robert Peccia & Associates for the Western Federal Lands Highway Division, outlines the design documentation necessary to improve drainage, roadway characteristics, and safety along Montana State Secondary Highway 236. The project spans 18.6 miles and includes subgrade improvements, aggregate surfacing, and the redesign of drainage structures, specifically focusing on culvert replacements at critical drainage crossings, particularly at mile post 31.64. Field assessments identified the adequacy of existing drainage structures, leading to a recommended replacement of the undersized culvert at this location due to erosion concerns. Hydrologic analyses utilize USGS StreamStats data to estimate peak flows, design flood frequencies, and inform the hydraulic design, concluding that reinforced concrete pipes are necessary due to soil corrosivity. Recommendations include installing double 54-inch equivalent diameter reinforced concrete pipe arch culverts to adequately manage the design flow requirements, ensuring impacts to existing utilities are minimized. This memorandum’s comprehensive analyses support the project’s goals to enhance roadway safety and drainage efficiency while complying with federal guidelines, thereby facilitating maintenance and improving traffic conditions.
