The upstream end of this project begins in NE15, then through Section 22, then through Section 27 ending in SW34. Project Description The landowners along the project’s watercourse experienced flooding and prolonged wet conditions due to poor drainage. The original channel through the area was often non-existent and for the most part poorly defined. The works constructed for this project consisted of improving 6.2 km of channel, the installation of 15 crossings and one flow control structure. The project has been designed so as not to increase flows above normal for return period runoff events greater than the 3.5-year return period. This control is being imposed to prevent increased flooding problems to landowners downstream along the North Josephburg Project that was also designed for the 3.5-year return period runoff event. Services Provided by Sameng Inc. : Determine maximum annual instantaneous flood discharges for various reaches along the project’s watercourse. Obtain field surveys along existing watercourse. Have discussions with landowners to arrive at drainage solution that is acceptable to them and at the same time environmentally acceptable (For this project there had to be flow controls placed within the project to ensure that the works would not increase flooding problems downstream). Design drainage works, culvert crossings and flow controls. Design pipeline crossings and prepare crossing agreements with energy companies. Design crossings over rural water supply pipelines. This included designing for the prevention of frost penetration down to the lines using Styrofoam insulation below the channel and the water line. Prepared a report outlining all of our investigations and designs (report was used as the basis for applying for cost sharing and for Approval under the Alberta Water Act). Replying to concerns raised as a result of advertising the project. Construction surveys and project management. Key Consultant Staff Gerald Samide, P. Eng. Company Technician.

This subdivision has been subjected to flooding and high surface groundwater conditions due to the subdivision being located on flat terrain with a poor internal drainage system and a clogged outlet drainage system. The drainage systems that were constructed to alleviate the flooding/drainage and high surface groundwater problems were: West drainage system – Involved the construction of a drainage channel from Fleming Park to Wedgewood creek along the west side of the east half of Section 35-51-26-W4 (no crossings were installed). The County completed this work in 1997 with their own forces. Construction costs (with engineering costs) were approximately - $174,000. East drainage system – Involved the construction of an underground piping siphon system (siphon system was approximately 900 m long) along the east side of Fleming Park Road on the east half of Section 35-51-26-W4. The construction costs (including engineering costs) were approximately $138,000. A private contractor completed these works in 1997 on a tender basis. Internal drainage system – Involved the construction of a drainage channel along the south side of Fleming Park and improvements to local drainage within the road ditches within the subdivision. The County did these works in 1998 with their own forces. Construction costs (with engineering) were approximately - $118,000. Services Provided by Sameng Inc. : Determine maximum annual instantaneous flood discharges for the various systems. Obtain field surveys along watercourses. Have numerous meetings and discussions with landowners to arrive drainage solutions that were acceptable to the landowners, the County and to Alberta Environment. Design drainage works, culvert crossings and siphon works, etc. Design pipeline crossings and prepare crossing agreements with energy companies. Prepared a report outlining all of our investigations and designs (report was used as the basis for applying for cost sharing and for Approval under the Alberta Water Act). Replying to concerns raised as a result of advertising the project. Preparing a Tender Package (drawings and specifications) for the East Drainage System’s works (mainly consisting of siphon system).

Project Description Samide Engineering Ltd. (now renamed Sameng Inc.) performed a comprehensive water management planning study in 1997 for water-related problems within the Woodlands County. In that study, water related problem areas were identified and a conceptual design for resolving these problems was presented. The Topland’s project was one where the area was experiencing poor drainage, flooding, siltation, and erosion problems. Samide Engineering Ltd. was retained by the Woodlands County to do an engineering design and report on reducing the water related problems within the Topland area. The drainage improvement works in the Topland area included ditch deepening and cleaning out, installation of erosion protection matting, and installation of culverts along roadside ditches. Services Provided by Sameng Inc. : Determine maximum annual instantaneous flood discharges for various reaches along the project’s watercourse. Obtain field surveys along existing watercourse. Have discussions with landowners to arrive at a drainage solution acceptable to them, the County and to Alberta Environment. Design drainage works, culvert crossings and erosion control works. Design pipeline crossings and prepare crossing agreements with energy companies. Prepared a report outlining all of our investigations and designs (report was used as the basis for applying for cost sharing and for Approval under the Alberta Water Act). Replying to concerns raised as a result of advertising the project. Prepare tender package. Tender package was prepared for this project but the County decided in the end not to tender the project.

Start-up and Completion Date Work was completed in the summer of 1998.
